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

And then you did Mike. That’s pretty unsettling, going away from the place you know and into a big city. To me that seems like the perfect breeding ground for cravings. And for slips and relapses. So yes you’re totally right it isn’t just old behaviours that will make you relapse. It’s new ones too. Learn my friend. As I know you are.

  1. Coffee. Therapy day. Still feel like I’m slacking and postponing the work I got to put in there to make it work. Slacking and postponing being some of the main issues I need to work on in therapy. Kind of a paradox right. Anyhow. Let’s get on with my day and make some things happen as they won’t happen of themselves. At least I’m sober and clean. If I wasn’t that, nothing would happen for sure. ODAAT. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Love from Amsterdam and Tokyo, where my inspirational nephew Simon is about to fulfil his dream and row in the Olympics. Heats are Sunday morning Tokyo time. Go Simon, go Holland8!

Hope you’re resting a well deserved and restful sleep friend. You made it through the hardest moment. I’m sure you can face the rest too. Big hugs.

Up super early on a Thursday morning because I was awakened by a deer munching on my garden outside. I should have probably gone back to sleep, but I decided to make a coffee and check in here.

Day 41 AF here. Finally was able to get in with a therapist and did the intake on Tuesday. Seems like a good fit, so I am happy for that. My parents are coming for a week visit starting tomorrow, it will be nice to see them. Hopefully not too much stress :rofl:

Wishing everyone a peaceful, sober day!

Day 68 AF
Once again feeling really good. I kinda feel a bit worried that I seem to be doing it fairy easily second time around. I am really proud of the fact that alcohol no longer controls my daily routine and I think that is a major reason for me maintaining my sobriety. Hope everyone is doing well :pray:

You do this for yourself Lucas. You did 6 days so you can do 7. One day at a time. We’re here. Lean on us. Talk to us when you want to drink but before you actually do next time plz. We/it might actually help you.

Great choice!
I don’t know why the gift thing felt different…almost like I should drink it. But I didn’t want to at all really, which was a great feeling.
Thank you so much for your support as always :sunny::blush:

Made it to two morning gym classes and two home workouts this week. Never would’ve done that before work while drinking.

I’ve had sufficient sleep 2 nights on a row. That doesn’t happen often for an insomniac. When it does, I’m baffled. Is this how people usually feel? No exhaustion headache, no constant yawning, being able to think and execute, having spare energy to do more than the bare minimum. Days like these feel like a million bucks. Although… I would rather take million euros since it’s stronger than USD :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Oh Charlie, I am so sorry. I don’t even know what to say, how horrible. You are so strong and I’m so glad you are powering through the urge. Sending prayers and all my love your way.
