Checking in daily to maintain focus #37

Congratulations on your week, @Cherry_Kisses.
Have you read This Naked Mind, by Annie Grace? It strikes me that you are in the target audience. I’m reading it again for the umpteenth time this week, and it is straightening me up, as it always does.

Well done getting through those hard days! :tada::raised_hands:t3::hibiscus:
I love most of the shares in AA, but especially from either those in their early days as it’s a timely reminder of where we came from AND the ‘old timers’ those with significant years under their belt. Their humor, wisdom and experiences really engage me.
Well done in doing what you need to do to protect your sobriety :star2:

Checking in for today. Sober and hangover free.

I had a short night of sleep, but keeping in mind that I have 5 days off coming up I am not really bothered.
I have plenty of time to catch up some sleep the coming days.
The most important thing is that I am not drinking and stay sober.

Today I started my 10 day running challenge, and I am pretty excited about it.

I agree Tony, this was my turning point reading this book, and rereading myself at the moment…

@Cherry_Kisses @Butterflymoonwoman Congrats on one week! Cherry, good for you for joining the zoom AA meeting. It’s great and a major part of my recovery as well.
@Ravikamor Such exciting news. You will be a fantastic grandma. So excited for you and @Dazercat and those future grand babies are going to love you both!
@SoberWalker “moderating your counters” made me chuckle. Love your pics and check-ins.

Don’t know what day I’m on, but not drinking today and probably not drinking tomorrow!

Good girl! :relaxed: I always intend on only eating a few spoonfuls because it’s so rich, but of course that never happens LOL :laughing:

Thank you! I’m ok I guess. Actually it was me who initiated this, he is not the kind of person who would easily make difficult steps, so I was better prepared for that. We won’t separate, we will stay together as friends. But it’s a big change, and a really tough one considering that we really love and care about each other.

What a double feeling that must be. Break up is hard :pensive: Take care of yourself. It’s needed.

Good morning! Last night marked 1 full week alcohol free! Still in some pain from surgery but thankfully recovery is going well. My focus has been on that, so seems easy not to drink. I worry a bit about how I’ll cope once my sister leaves. She’s been a huge help both in terms of my physical health and mental health.

How exciting @Ravikamor!! You must be ecstatic. That’s going to be one spoiled baby but that’s what grandmas do. Congratulations!! :baby_bottle::baby:
