Checking in daily to maintain focus #35

Definitely sticky days. Those days are the days when you begin to feel better, the alcohol is leaving your system and the voice starts asking, “What was all the fuss about?”

You’ve determined yourself that it’s not just a bad habit, easily broken. How are you handling the difficult times? Are you working any kind of program? Or are you just white-knuckling it?

Anger has not worked well for you. Hug on those little girlies and do something positive. Gratitude list? New design? Jumping jacks?

And who is this “friend” and WTF is he/she even sharing that message with you?

Yeah me and the girls are going to bed, I have a mutual friend on Facebook who I didn’t think would do something like that, but my dealer messaged me from his face book saying it was him and that he was doing them 3 for 2. I have my dealer blocked on fb and phone number so you think he would get the hint. I ended up blocking the person who I thought was my friend as well I didn’t say anything to him at all.

Checking in on day 162. I went for a run this afternoon. Google Fit was being passive aggressive and labeled the activity “Afternoon Walk” :rofl: OK, fine, Google, so I’m slow! Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Looking forward to a bright, clean Sunday morning.

God, yes, I have had the same thought! The day after a successful ‘not drinking’ event can be so dangerous.

Or he’s trying to hook you back in cause he hasn’t seen you in a while. He knows it doesn’t take much to be making money off you again…

Fuck him Mike.
Fuck addiction.

Stay strong.

Checking in 50 days. Trying to figure out if the issues I’m having with adding numbers is related to some sort of cognitive decline or anxiety or my brain needs practice or is this a residual of alcohol abuse? I have a friend over and we tried to play a game of cribbage, I can add and see the sequences but it seems to take so long to do so.

When is the last time you played? It takes me a hot minute to get my brain in gear if I haven’t played in a while. Hope you at least enjoyed your games. :+1:t3: And, I just saw that we are almost sober twins at our 50 days! Congrats to you on 50 sober days. The brain haze can last a while.

Check in, 10 days sober. Colder than hell up here in Alaska. Feeling really strong this time and I’ve been actually doing the work to maintain sobriety. Super dehydrated still from my last binge, on my birthday, but I lifted weights for the first time in a month and felt really strong. Life is good!

I’ve been noticing that I have a hard time concentrating. This is not something I used to have trouble with. I find myself starting a task then having no idea what I was about to do. I think it’s just my brain healing but I have classes starting soon so…

  1. Coffee. Work in a mo. It was a hard choice to go to bed during half time of an exciting rugby match last night but I’m glad I did. Needed that. Could have done with some more sleep actually but this will have to do.
    Otherwise not much to say. I’m sober and clean. That’s something. Something big. Have as good a Sunday as you all can friends. Make it clean and sober. Just for today. Love from a gloomy Amsterdam.

@destructor Welcome back and big congrats on reaching double digits Lindsey!

It’s been a few years. I think before we try again I’m going to practice by myself. The anxiety of being watched while trying to count out correctly was crazy. Feeling judged (although noone was judging me) made me want to retreat back to drinking, numb the uncomfortable part. Apparently, I still have a lot of personal issues to clean up. Best to do it sober.

The good happy moments, like making the awesome cake and him loving it so much hopefully will soon outnumber the moments that you do not feel as well mentally. Glad you posted! Hugs
