Checking in daily to maintain focus #32

Morning. Had really hard time sleep yesterday, hughe anxiety, think I fell a sleep early morning. Thinking about drinking today, its all around in my head how nice it would be to enjoy today, its friday and everything and I done so well last 5 days. Thinking about what I said to one other yesterday and should follow my own advice. Im soon going out for a hicke with my husband and Kids, hope the urge will go away.

Thank you.

Iā€™m here, Iā€™m alive and Iā€™m sober.
Day 334

Got a new phone,the app works a lot smoother now. Maybe because my Old one was like 5 years old ,:laughing:

But I still have a lot of problems trying to manage this one. Itā€™s my husbandā€™s old phone,as you guys knows he won a new one on his company meet and greet.
Iā€™ve refused to change my Old one for a long time. Google hasnā€™t worked for at least a year,and now the last few days it simply stopped working at all so eventually I had to.
One of the smaller problems except my technologically challenged personality is that I have to hood the phone with two hands. The screen is bigger and the phone overall is heavier. Good thing is that I probably wonā€™t lose it that often.

Weā€™ve started to renovate our indoor staircase. Itā€™s been heavy rain here for a few days. My husband have been working on the stairs, while me and the boys have done a lot of baking trying some new recipes. It has been very cosy. And Iā€™m so grateful that the renovation is going forward and that our dream house is starting to shape.

I havenā€™t been able to log in here and update you guys, because letā€™s be honest here I just learned how to add English to my keyboard on this phone :laughing:

Wishing yā€™all a wonderful weekend.

Hello friends. Checking in on day 49. Today is my daughterā€™s birthday and I am happy to be fully present for that. Itā€™s been quite the week, and I will be happy to be going to back to a more regular schedule of work next week. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Congratulations @anon9289869 on your hard-earned year of sobriety! You are an inspiration; be good to yourself today.

Way to go on 8 months @Freeyourmind and I love your triple-eights (and the graffiti) @Hailstrom!

havenā€™t checked in or talked to anyone on here in a while it seems. pop on for a few min every other day but thatā€™s about it. i got a wonderful promotion a month ago but it sucks all the time out of my day. so hello from my couch at 6:30 in the morning! my arm is in a cast so it makes it impossible for me to sleep most nights. causes me lots of insomnia. today it started at 4am so iā€™m watching the hulu true crime doc ā€˜a wilderness of errorā€™ and drinking coffee with my dog. hope you all have a great day! :kissing_heart:

Nature is one of the things Iā€™ve used as an escape during my recovery and it looks like you have some beautiful scenery there! I hope thatā€™s helping you.

Checking in at the end of day 208.
Took your advice this evening, Eric (@Dazercat) and put some tunes in whilst I was walking to the supermarket. Loved it. Itā€™s the future!
Had a lovely walk with my daughter earlier. I really do love walking with her. Sheā€™s getting into it, too - which I love. We even planked when we got back. :boom::muscle:t2:
Outside of that, itā€™s been Olympics, sobriety, card games and family. Magic.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight. :zzz::sleeping:

It did help a bit yes. Going to be better using the natur for clearing my head and get other tougths when craving. And now the liquerstore is closed so I cant get my hands on wine even if I wanted.

BOOM!

That is miracle stuff right there. A life time of battling, a body full of scars and now you can see some light at the end of the tunnel. 24 hours at a freaking time, you knowā€¦ itā€™s all we can do. Wrapping my head around this for all aspects of my life is challenging but I watch you do it and you are proving to me it can be done. Thank you, congrats :heart:

I am glad you are here Mel, and I hope that you get what you need from us.
We are all still learning so anyone passing judgement on you would be showing a massive hole in their own recovery.
So glad you got a script from the DR, lets hope you get some relief from your symptoms now.

Today I sit and reflect on why I am going to keep my Sobriety going. My auntā€™s brother passed away yesterday. I hanged out with him (drank and did blow with him) a few times and actually told him about my sobriety in the beginning. He died of kidney and liver failure. He was a alcoholic as well. This just reinforces the reason why I need to continue my sobriety. May he Rest in Peace now. Heā€™s not suffering any moreā€¦
