Checking in daily to maintain focus #31 (Part 2)

So great to hear as you approach 9 days! :confetti_ball: I think I would turn all that distraction and busy-ness into a positive since your mind is preoccupied
yea turn up the tunes and do what you love. Stay strong :+1::slightly_smiling_face:

Congrats on 3 days! :confetti_ball: Keep that attitude and mind set of “shutting down” those tempatations
cause it does get easier :slightly_smiling_face:

I realized the same thing how fast and amazing the body is at healing itself!! It only gets so much better
sleep, clear head, being present
and all that comes with a freedom that only you can enjoy and be proud of :+1: Stay strong and always focus on ODAAT!!

Checking in on a very rainy and cold Saturday morning!

Huge congratulations to everyone on their milestones :partying_face::star2: there is so much activity on here while I am sleeping, its abit tricky to go back and tag each and everyone individually but I think you’re all amazing! And for every person here that hasn’t, and won’t pick up today, you’re all just as super awesome too :heart:

You nailed it right here! You have it in you. Your here. Your posting. Your reading. Your growing. And you have that desire!! :slightly_smiling_face:

One of the things we love to do is beat ourselves up. We all do it. We’ve all done it. Yet we know the results always brings us back to self pity, low esteem and a shattered self image. I can write volumes in how many times I’ve felt like this over the course of my drinking career. I believe it’s all part of the healing process though. It’s driving through not only that toxic behavior
but that toxic mind set. That! My friend
is where the victory lies :slightly_smiling_face:. We can go through the motions, go to meetings, post on here, communicate with our sponsor, read the Big Book, etc
but if your mind is not in alignment with your physical being, then that battle becomes extremely tough. You can cause the physical urges to pass, and the temptations to eventually diminish
but how? Why? Because your mental capacity and drive is the force that dictates to your body what it will choose and ultimately do. The decision is only a split second, but if you can train, strengthen and solidify your decision making then it’s ODAAT and a free, clean life ahead of you! Stay strong!! :+1::slightly_smiling_face:

I am checking in from the CA meeting with

No dope, no booze, learning how to live life on lifes terms. Learning how to deal with emotions without trying to escape my head and body. Learning how to seperate what is mine and what doesn’t belong to me.
I have a bad habit of taking everybody’s pain and it always feels unbearable. Through recovery though I am being taught how to seperate that and for that I am grateful.

Congrats everyone on your clean time.
