Good evening everyone

Day 49 no alcohol
Day 12 no cigarettes
What a day. I started by taking my car to my sisters house to store since I donāt have a license. Then went to the clinic to get a Covid test for my sleep study Friday and on the ground found $5.00. While I was waiting inside I looked at the state website and found $310.00 that was unclaimed by me from years ago. Then on my way to donate plasma my mom called to say my $100.00 Covid vac visa came. So I was having a good day. Next my ex-wife txt and asked if I was free on Sunday (oh crap what is it is all I was thinking). I replied yes and asked whats up. She said she is so happy and proud of me and wanted to celebrate by taking me to The Minnesota Vikings Detroit Lions football game this weekend. Detroit is my favorite team. Last because it has been so long since I did plasma I get 1100.00 this month.
Iāll tell you what doing the right thing can be hard some days. Sometimes I donāt know if I do enough to make up for the hell Iām trying to climb out of. But I try to keep my head up and do the next right thing. Days like today donāt always happen but God is good and I am sober today.
Thanks for reading sorry I always get carried away when I start typing.
Peace and goodness to all

Day 66 Alcohol Free
Today was very fulfilling. I ended up teaching three yoga classes. I usually only teach two a week so three in one day is a lot, but it was awesome. I know Iām growing as a teacher. And Iāve been in a really good mood this week so that is nice. I think I really needed the visit from my friend last weekend. I feel lucky to have her as a friend and grateful she made the trip. I donāt really have any friends around here yet even though Iāve met lots of nice people.
Anyways, another beautiful day without alcohol, weed, or anything else clouding my mind!

Back to day 2 again. It sucks for self-confidence, although Iām definately mindful enough not to take it too seriously. 
The longer Iām on this journey, the more Iām paying attention to the important problems I never really admitted toā¦ Anxiety, depression, loneliness, boredom, hatredā¦ So many little puzzle pieces to acknowledge, understand and address to work towards my ultimate happiness (what itās all about in the end). My addictions always just distracted and numbed me, but I admit I definately slowly but surely feel more and more in control of my sailsā¦ Take care of yourselves fam.

Working from home today, really busy in work doing things I am not sure how to do, forcing myself to ask questions in this scenario and get over fear of looking stupid. Remembering this is my 2nd week only, madness the pressure I put myself under -ridiculous 
I do shake my head with myself.
Routine is shot, so got to get myself organised as miss gym, swimming etc and need those for my mental well being. So will plan out next week incorporating these activities they are important for my recovery.
@Misokatsu Flo I used to do the exact same start in morning, plan a sleep to be normal later, never went to plan, hiding the bottles etc, thinking about that makes me shudder.
@Kaeo well done you will be amazing 
Have a good day all, one that counts
