Glad to be here today. Just stepping into day 4. 1st January exam done this morning out of 3. Very grateful of getting through this morning without too much anxiety. Anxiety is being a burden but I will accept it and do my best to just take it one day at a time and hope it eases with time

Day 146 and Iāve been deeply contemplative for the past couple days. I may have recently introduced too many new commitments for myself and I need to take a step back and regroup. Iāve noticed since becoming sober that it doesnāt take a whole lot to overwhelm me. Oh, I can go and do all day long if itās for someone else, but Iām having a difficult time focusing on what I need just for me. I know Iām gonna get there. Itās just taking me a while to figure out what makes me click. 
I started a thread back in October about our brains and recovery. I love learning and discussing this subject. I havenāt shared outside of that thread, but I wanted to put a link to my thoughts from yesterday. I hope it might be beneficial for some of yāall.

Day 51 checking inā¦
Woot woot.
Feel good. Feeling the love from this community.
God has been drawing me to be courageous and more open about HIM , as a main topic of my life, my heart and everything else. I put so many other things and people on the throne of my heart and I feel that Creator is asking me to ride or die The Great I AM.
Itās difficult, to be honest. Iāve found that when I talk about life in recovery and God or Jesus in the same sentence people tend to judge me as being the judge-er.
Ive also found good , cool people backing away from me because they think Iām too freaky or āreligiousā for them. (I am NOT religious. Jesus and religion are on the opposite ends of the spectrum. In fact, Jesus called religious people whores)
All these fears I must lay down and warrior on through them.
I have come to realize that only God can fix whatās broken in me. Ifā¦if is keyā¦if I let Him.
So today I will face my fears and shout about The Great I AM and how His love for me, for you , for each one of us is free, available and not such a bad thing after-all.
I started a post on here Higher Power encouragement for today
Today, Iāll take another 24, face my fears head-on, tell of all my God has done for me and love my enemies, friends and family.
Love yāall
