371 days no alcohol.
339 days no cocaine.
1 day no disordered eating.

Today I made it back to the gym :raised_hands:t2: after missing 4 days it was hard work but felt good, sadly I didnā€™t feel able to undress in the changing room, I stood at the locker panicking and just had to get out of there asap. I did my grocery shopping on the way home too.

Feeling a bit better. I hope tomorrow I will manage to swim aswel :pray:t2::crossed_fingers:t2:

Small steps Tyler. Well done. Be proud. I am. Iā€™m lucky with the gym I go to. Just a mix of everything there. From campy gay, to hookers from the the nearby red light district, to young and old straight beautifuls and plenty of not so beautifuls either. People donā€™t bother each other. As it should be. Iā€™m very proud of you for going despite your anxiety.

12 days in 50 minutes. Didnā€™t want to drink today but I ate way over my calorie target for the day and didnā€™t exercise because I felt really ill. Bit dissapointed. Think I was feeling abit sorry for myself so comforted with food hahah. Going to try and get an early night and hope for a better day tomorrow.

Day 53. Said my prayers,and gratitudes. I canā€™t help but realize I have so many defects to work on. Need to start my meditation again. Just so much I need to do, going out to talk with the guy who use to be my sponsor, just kind of get some shit off my chest and then hitting a meeting

over 4 weeks off work with anxiety and depression and went back 2 days ago, it was a complete failure in the eyes of my colleagues so I wonā€™t be doing that again, after 18 years in the same job Iā€™ve officially left today. For me personally it was not a complete failure bc I had to fight with myself all the way to work forcing myself to put one footstep in front of the other whilst all the time wanting to turn around and go home. several times I stopped and a couple of times I cried but I did it and did some form of work. Am I bothered I have left my job?, I donā€™t see it as an end I see it as the beginning of a new journey that I can make the most of one day at a time.

Recovery has taught me all this - The emotions, the struggle to take one more step forward, the change of life style. Surely if sobriety can turn out to be for the best then everything else can be equally positive. Anything is possible when the next chapter is a blank page.
