Day 22 I see alot of shit I got to work on after doing some reflecting last night. Little bits and pieces at a time tho… also realizing I have a problem with pre work out, I use it daily several times, several scoops and I don’t even work out, I use it for the jitters and when I’m excited, but yeah it doesn’t motivate me anymore then I already was, and I’m noticing it’s kind of like a drug I ran out today and My mind instantly wtf what are we gonna do now. So yeah time to address that. Much love

Checking in. Feeling full of resentment. Even the small shit is feeling big. I feel like I am going to explode. I am in a place where I need to work on compartmentalizing all of these things. I have to find a way to separate healing from the things I just need to get done.
It just all feels like too much right now. If I can just eat the elephant one bite at a time. One bite.

Day 1
Woke up rested this morning. Hubby is at work for a very long 14 hour day so I’ll have plenty of time to get everything done that I wanted to. I work this weekend with a client who is very highly behavioural, verbal and physical. I find some days hard as I walk out of there drained. Stress is a trigger for me so I will need to keep a close eye on that over the weekend. Will need to use better coping skills to manage it. But I feel positive that I can and will get through it! Have a great clean and sober Friday!

Morning Jene, really hoping today gets better for you. Resentments are awful 
Whenever I get super angry or resentful I usually need something physical to help me release that negative energy that’s build up. Exercise works well for me. Is there anything that has helped you in the past?

Maybe try reading some of the Caffeine threads we have going here?
@Chiron created a really good one recently that I’ve been following 
Ironically I’m actually drinking pre-workout right now lol, but I do use it only once a day before I workout.
I’ve been trying to manage my caffeine intake also and it can be a huge bitch, especially for those of us who have problems with moderation. I noticed that I started drinking way more caffeine after I stopped drinking. I’ve capped myself at 400mg a day and I don’t go past that. It seems like a good balance right now because I still sleep fine, but eventually I’d like to reduce it.

Toward resentment? No. I am not, historically, a resentful person. It’s one of the new gifts of this go around. I do know the feeling of discontent is a biproduct of “To-Dos” that haven’t been done. It’s a wicked cycle of feeling too depressed and helpless to do things AND having things undone lead to depression and helplessness. So, I just need to start getting things off the “to-do” and on to the “done.”

Definitely come on over to the thread @Nordique mentioned and post as much as you’d like about caffeine.
It really is a drug. You get used to it. For me, if left unchecked, I’ll just keep upping and upping the amount I take in. It doesn’t really seem like you’re abusing your pre-workout drink, but in the natural course of events, you’ve gotten used to your current dose and if you want to keep using it you either need to take a 14 day break or up the amount.
You’re doing great at 22 days. I love seeing your number go up.
