Checking in today
Today has been a total rejuvenation type of day. Cleaning and decluttering and getting our home back to ā€œnormalā€. The clutter of Christmas drives me insane lol. My environment really effects my mental health. So thought Iā€™d do something about it today. Also got my 3rd covid shot today. Sore arm but thatā€™s it so far. Feeling better today anyway but have been so tired lately. Just no energy to do much. Hope everyone is well :pray:

You have stayed clean before, you CAN do it again. I think of addiction like a spiral. Little things can get u spiraling down, and u canā€™t believe where u are again, but equally a little thing can get u circling back up! Do u do online meetings? Go to them! Share and share! And donā€™t worry about ur size! U could have a purple head, no-one cares, we are all at meetings to get sober, end of, it is not a catwalk. Sending love and support.

Evening checkin
Feeling accomplished today. But still tired. I feel like the tiredness is stress related honestly. Me trying to find a way to ā€œescapeā€ by wanting to sleep all day. Im grateful tho that I HAVE to get up, I have no chance to sleep the day away. Iā€™m forced to get up and get going. Anyway, Iā€™m just trying to take things 1 day at a time. Remembering to be gentle with myself. But also continue to push myself to keep doing the next right thing, which means staying clean, being honest with myself and others, being of service, and taking care of my responsibilities. Iā€™m feeling ā€œsomethingā€. Idk what. Itā€™s not necessarily a good thing either. I canā€™t put my finger on it lol iv had weird dreams of being in jail and dreams of using lately. Feeling off. Going to have a nice bath later and start tmrw off on better footing :slight_smile:

Day 998. Almost 1k!

I had a long conversation with a friend last night about anger, and the take away was that if I want to continue living, then get my temper under control.

The issue is that when I get depressed, that outlook flips around, and in that condition I loose control of myself. So I need to keep the idea that I do not want to destroy myself or my life in my head at all times. I donā€™t know if that will be enough but itā€™s a start.

I can relate. I have alot of anger issues myself, my ADHD makes it so hard because my mind is just constantly racing and when it gets overloaded I lash out. Definitely something I need to get under control myself. Congrats on your days

Checking in day 727 AFAF
Day 139 no extra added sugar.
Continuing to isolate or quarantine for 5 days. Per doctorā€™s recommendation, since Iā€™m basically feeling fine. Itā€™s a nice rest. I guess Iā€™m just lucky Covid isnā€™t kicking my ass. Iā€™ll take it.
Still not drinking.
I really donā€™t see the point.

I have learned to admit that for me drinking has ceased to be fun and has become nothing but trouble
