Checking in daily to maintain focus #34

@Freeyourmind I get this too and it has only been 3 months sober for me. A month ago I had more energy than I knew what to do with. I was getting up early and going to the gym and working out like a crazy man. Now I have little energy and have to force myself to go. Once I am there I get into it and have a good workout. I just seem to lack motivation and energy. Some mornings I too feel hungover even though I am abstaining from alcohol. I wonder if it is from ice cream. That is my new treat in the eveningā€¦

Day 217
Lovely day today. Went to a very local play ground / theme park. Lots of play equipment and some little rides which thrilled my daughter, and it was enough in the countryside to find a mantis which pleased my son.
This evening I am doing a study zoom. It is a book, and I am actually ahead of the reading, because I have time and energy in the evenings.

Day 44. Some days are better than others. Iā€™m worried today is going to be a rough day. I woke up at 4AM feeling miserable. Iā€™m trying to figure out how to make it through an entire miserable day alone since Iā€™m off work today. What a bunch of bull malarkeyā€¦. SMH

Day 10. Iā€™ve got my nieceā€™s bday party tonight, and Iā€™m already rehearsing my ā€œno thank yousā€ Iā€™ll come armed with my seltzer water. This group isnā€™t a big trigger for me, but they are definitely used to me being ā€œthe life of the partyā€. Iā€™ve got this.

Phew, doing much better today! Actually having a really lovely day with no grand plans so I dove into tending to my houseplants and starting on garden phase-out. These are the days I need to remember and appreciate when Iā€™m having a rough time. It does, indeed, pass. I am taking every opportunity to enjoy this pain free time. I am sending out love and sober energy to you all. :heartpulse:

Checking in day 113. Nice Saturday. My SOā€™s uncle was in a nearby town, so we had a quick visit and hit some art galleries she wanted to check out on the way back. Then I took a desk over to a colleagueā€™s apartment who needed to borrow one. You know. Wild and crazy times.

Might get on the old Warhorse (thanks for the name idea @Mno :rofl:) and get a nice long bike ride tomorrow, if it doesnā€™t pour rain. Happy Sobriety, everyone!

Made it through today thanks to a friend whom I confided in. We celebrated my sons 16th birthday and then he left to go to a friends and it was just a bunch of adults who were drinking and hanging out. I wanted a beer so badly, but my friend straight told me no. ā€œJust remember your whyā€ she said to me. So here I am day 5 in the books. Most of my friends are ā€œnappingā€ at 7 PM and Iā€™m here to make sure I get through the rest of the night sober. Sigh one day at a time.
