Checking in daily to maintain focus #35

Checking in, 370 days no alcohol, 120 days no smoke. Feeling good. I became much more physical-centered recently. My days are about sleeping and eating. I eat about 3-times as much as I used to and sleep so much longer and deeper. I started to run and work out again and am more mindful of what I eat and drink. My relationship with my body turned from alienation and hatred into trust and gratitude for undertaking such huge changes for me.

458 days no alcohol.
426 days no cocaine.
19 days no nicotine.

Another day without any news re the job. Iā€™m seriously hoping they will put me out of my misery tomorrow so I donā€™t have to feel like this all weekend again :pray:t2::crossed_fingers:t2:

Although I live in isolation and donā€™t see anyone for months at a time, I rarely feel lonely, but today I do, Iā€™m feeling all this anxiety and self-doubt and wish I even had just one person I could talk to about it, I feel caged in emotionally, trying to be that person for myself. Unfortunately I am continuing to use food at moment and that makes me feel even worse.

@Mno No I never thought about that, I typicaly dont get very much depressed, every very seldom once in a while. But I will have it in mind if I dont feel better about it soon., dont know so much about it or if doctors here do, I had to google it :see_no_evil: I think I feel to much for other People, their pains, sorrow, like their pain is mine. Im doing and trying what I can to improve myself and feel better, not going to just sit around whine about it but so something about it. Thank you so much for your replie :slightly_smiling_face:

@CATMANCAM thank you for that, I take it, I need that strength! And I :crossed_fingers: :crossed_fingers: for you :slightly_smiling_face:

Checking in, still sober and happy to be. Today was a bit better day then yesterday, but it takes nothing to turn my feelings and just cry, like I saw this 911 emergency show and I ā€œlived and feltā€ their pain and jsut feel so bad. Got angry for something at home and to get it all out I scrubbed down the shower, so at least its really clean now :sweat_smile: Going to follow my routine so Im soon of to bed, have a cup tea first, and hoping for a good day tomorrow.

I hope everyone had and have a good day, and smile to someone you meet through the day today, a smile can change someones day :slightly_smiling_face:

#Day 1149,
End of day here. I have stomachepain and Iā€™m irritated because of it. Had an appointment this morning with the surgeon and Iā€™m on a waiting list for surgery now. It takes 6 till 12 weeks before surgery and maybe longer due to Covid :cry:
I would have been off from work tomorrow but because my co worker has a cold and still does not have the result of the Covid test: I have to work. Iā€™m cranky :expressionless:

Thank you Stella :green_heart: I always hide my emotions, so being honest on here is my starting point. I have so many different personality layers I really not sure who I am, but understand this is the roller coaster of recovery, its bloody hard but better then when iwas hiding behind alcohol for 25 yrs. Your groups are so lucky to have you :bouquet:
