Checking in daily to maintain focus #35

Safe travels to CA, Jen. I’m glad you rejoined the forum. Appreciate your updates. As for this new fella, I would ask the same but in reverse. He is fortunate to have found such a strong and amazing lady.

@anon35096624 welcome back! I’m glad you decided to start checking in. 7 days is fantastic and it’s awesome that you are feeling and sleeping well.
@Mno I hope you are recovering from your fall. Your pictures from Amsterdam including the adorable kitty pic above always makes me smile. Thank you.

I am the same. But in my head I am quite comfortable with my sobriety, and sometimes go to say something, like something I would say
on here, which would totally give the game away.

‘Sometimes quickly sometimes slowly’, You will find your serenity bc like me you never stop trying. Congratulations on your 1 week that’s very impressive. I’m not sure I could do that first week again so I try not to find out, takes a lot of strength and courage.

After a two week relapse, I’m back in the game! No booze or cigs in 10 days! :sunglasses: However, I’m eating a ton of junk food which I need to get in check soon ( anyone else on here use WW or I Track Bites?)… Still better than poisoning myself and blacking out on the regular. :metal:

Checking in at 50 days. I think I’ve been at 50 days about 3 times in my journey. I’ve been reflecting on my experiences since I first recognized and really accepted/admitted I needed to get sober (notice I didn’t say “wanted to” - that came much later). There is so much emphasis in recovery lit about focusing on the now, on today, and there is great value in that. My tendency has always been to look back and to look forward, which is part of how I’ve ended up dealing with depression and anxiety. Something I’ve been working on is reflection on the past in a way that does not feel emotionally taxing or painful, which is what leads to the depressive feelings. Regrets, etc. It’s been a useful exercise, because I have a lot to learn from the past, and I think the only way I can learn from it is to be curious and observant in a non-judgmental way about myself. No easy feat! But I’m getting a lot out of it. Kinda goes back to accepting myself and things I’ve done and ways I’ve behaved as things that just “are,” not things that carry some heavy weight on my psyche anymore. Working on it!

My partner got home safely and we had a joyful reunion. Both had productive and valuable week apart but both glad to be back to “normal,” and I slept great! Lots of errands to run today and chores to do, hopefully tomorrow will be a relaxed day before we hit the road on Monday early. Not sure how much I’ll be posting while on my visit.

Happy Saturday, amigos. :heartpulse:

Yay for Saturday mornings after a sober Friday night. The hubby and I had an AF evening together last night. And we both woke up early and well rested. And lucky to get lucky. Hehehe

I wish you all a peaceful and happy Saturday.
