Checking in daily to maintain focus #34

Checking in day 28,5

Outside it’s dark and rainy. But in my mind it is all clear and I am shining.

Last night I was feeling anxious and grumpy, but not for a particular reason… Normaly I would associate those feelings with the problems I face in life.

Problems or not…
Those feelings will always be there. Because we are human. No reason to start drinking. Instead of fighting those feelings just let it go.

I had a good long sleep… and while writing this I do feel great!

Hangover and guilt free. Patience is my closest friend right now. Just be patience and life will change!

I wish you all a great and sober start of the week.

Stay sober my friends, one day at a time!

Morning beautiful people. Day 3 back on the wagon. So tired OMG. Body is in massive recalibration mode. Happy my co worker is always at it and also at Day 3 hoping we can help each other stay on the straight and narrow. Grateful for this place to check into daily. Makes such a difference wow. Filling my spare time with reading sobriety literature and podcasts. Picking up all the tools this time :heart::heart:

Day 8 and feeling great! (Wow I’m a poet now, amazing what sobriety brings) :rofl:
@ShadowFax yes! Totally agree about the patience thing. I’m TERRIBLE at that! Accepting the feelings will pass in the end does help, even if it seems to take too long.
@Butterflymoonwoman you can do it! I do think you learn something new each time, let’s both of hope this one is the one that finally clicks and sticks. Others here have done it, so we all can too :slight_smile:
@Mno good luck!
@Misswest recalibration mode! Yeah! My body is still like " what is going on here? No poison to deal with?" But it seems very happy about it, if a little puzzled and doing weird things!
Have a good day all

Day 56

I’ve been working very hard the past few weeks, and I’m now on a break. I’ve tried to wake up early, but I end up sleeping 12 hours a day :rofl:. Guess I must be tired. Anyway, my goals are to be achieved so that means I’m still working :sunglasses:

I make a list of tasks that need to be done everyday, and today’s list is looking kinda big 0.o

440 days no alcohol.
408 days no cocaine.
1 day no nicotine.

Checking in for yesterday.

Had pizza leftover from Saturday night so was still eating that until lunchtime yesterday so don’t have a whole day yet. I weighed myself so can now draw a line under it. Hoping to stay on track with the diet for the rest of the year atleast. :pray:t2:

I am now on 0mg nicotine vape liquid. I absolutely hate how I can hardly get out of bed, and how much my body hurts, and the psychopathic nightmares I’ve been having. Hoping this all gets better after some time. :pray:t2:

Something I remember clearly about when I first got sober (i had 3 years and since then been struggling to get back) but I remember clearly been so incredibly tired all the time. For at least the first year. I remember my sponsor at the time telling me to treat myself like a baby. Just food & rest and food and rest. Lots and lots of fruit and liquids. That’s my plan for my first week back :heart:
