Checking in daily to maintain focus #36

Day 66. Got a couple tattoos today. Sometimes I really feel like I have imposter syndrome, but ppl keep coming to me to get tattoos so I must be doing something right, anyways it’s a good day to be sober, I was like I said a bit cranky towards my girls on a few occasions, I geuss that’s parenting but still I’d rather not be. I know each day I stay sober is another day of being and becoming better again. But there is still alot of areas I need to get back focused on. Anyways much love, and @CATMANCAM keep coming back bro, I was where you were just don’t stop coming here we will always be here

Thank you :slight_smile: ur right! The BEST gift I can give to myself is my recovery. We all deserve so much!! We deserve happiness in our lives and to give kindness to ourselves. On Friday it will be 7 days of recovery which is huge for me :slight_smile: I will be even more proud when I can get thru Friday. I can’t wait!!!

Ya my mom is very Christian. She sometimes pushes religion on me, which bothers me but I’m patient with her. She just wants the best for me :slight_smile: but I remind her that whats best for me is the belief I have and what I am most connected to that helps me throughout the day :slight_smile: I don’t go to church or read the Bible. But I believe in a power greater than myself that can overcome all things

79 days. Yesterday was a little tough. Was finishing Christmas shopping and at the grocery store I found my self in the wine aisle, circling, romanticizing the red stuff. When I realized what I was doing I ran out of there. I had no desire for the taste just the idea of a glass of wine in my hand, the image of a fantasy that is untrue. I am good today. Sober still.
Getting ready to do the “santa trip” where I drive a loop and drop off gifts for my family. It takes about 4.5 hours driving for the loop, so about a 6-8 hour trip with visiting thrown in. This year my oldest daughter and her middle daughter are joining me, so it will be nice to have the company.
Have a splendid sober day everyone!

I wanted to give you a warning about the end. Patterson talks about doing a final using session and analyzing the results. And while it has some merit, because you are already in the process of experiencing sobriety, it’s not necessary for you.

I read the book at 7-8 days of sobriety and I just chose that it was better for me not to break my streak. I later found out that Allen Carr supports this for the reason I mentioned above.
