@CATMANCAM I am so sorry you were assaulted like that at the gym. Glad you will avoid those creeps.

- Coffee. A late shift ahead before Iām off for a couple of days. Had a crazy first shift yesterday after being woken up by my alarm in the middle of a weird and disconcerting dream. The weird stuff continued at work. Had quite some frustration and penned up anger in me which I released with a double spinning class at night. That did me really well. In a much better headspace now.
Now compare that to coming home from work frustrated and angry and downing two bottles of wine and a couple of scotch. And how I would have felt this morning after that. So glad and grateful I donāt do that no more. Never again. One day at a time. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love from Amsterdam where itās raining but always the sun comes out again after.

Spin classes scare me! But an amazing work out, and stress buster. I used to do them so got a bit better. May try againā¦

Donāt let the instructor or the other spinners get into your head. Do your own thing at your own pace. Youāll get better at it. Fast.

My son came back for a surprise visit, he is here until Friday so happy to see him. And nice knowing did i not have to hide things or most likely pretend to be sober. So much easier.
Off to the gym at lunchtime, and a river swim this eve.
Wrote my list for work around the house in preparation for selling which is loooooong. I need a year. But its a start.
If i dont hear from new job by tomorrow i need to chase up, i am now not earning which is not good. But worry they think i am pestering them. But will still contact them.
Have a good day

Day 253.
I can notice the weather having a big influence on my mood. I have been wanting to light up my new BBQ but it has been raining non stop the past 3 weeks and it bothers me. I know that i need to accept the things i cannot change but its hard sometimes.
On the other hand im now having issues with lighting the BBQ which dont come anywhere near the problems i used to deal with when i was in active addiction.
Life is generally treating me well at the moment. I have not thought of using for quiet a while now which makes me feel happy.
I hope you all have a great day today! Just for today!

Checking in at 17 days sober.
Yesterday ended up being a bit of a toughy. Friends have been staying with us for a few nights. They are all drinking, and Iām not. They have not applied an ounce of pressure on me to join in, which I am so grateful for. Iāve been thoroughly enjoying the freedom that choosing no brings, and embracing the role of the breakfast-maker in the mornings. However, last night didnāt feel like freedom. A voice in my head kept telling me I had done so well this week, and for my good behaviour, I deserved one little night of alcohol-infused fun. While I fought to silence this voice, I could feel myself growing a bit grumpy and resentful, so I said my good-nights, and went to bed early.
I certainly donāt feel the same way today. I am very proud for not giving in. I wish the temptation could have passed without souring my mood. It was a missed opportunity to have a nice night with friends after Covid kept us apart for so long. But it is what it is. I will take the lesson, and hopefully tonight will be better!
