Swimming and reading those are my favorite things to do also. Start with small goals. What type of books do you like? Make a list. That swimming pool is my oasis. I do H.I.I.T. in the pool and itā€™s wonderful. Just make yourself go there with your swimming clothes ready to put the work in. That mental boost you get just being under water is a huge endorphin boost that will make you feel proud you took that step. Iā€™m doing the same thing right after work.

Yes I know, I am familiar with three 3 kings day! The day that itā€™s believed the three wise men visited Jesus after his birth. I am still waiting for them to visit me :crazy_face:

Thank you @Hazy And happy birthday with your son too! :blue_heart: :partying_face:

Day 514

Finished my Friday classes. Have mostly stayed on top of data entry, so should be a breeze to calculate grades for these classes! Having a mini celebration in my head, but donā€™t feel like celebrating with a drink.

Good morning from Europe,

Day 51 in sobriety, but most important, all Christmas events have passed, and no alcohol has entered in my body.

Now challenge is going to be the boredom and an excess of self confidence, but all now that booze acts this way.

Kind regards and good luck!

Checking in sober and hangover free.

Yesterday was a bit stressful lots of stuff to do on my day off. The day wasnā€™t stressful, but my mind made it stressful. To much stuff going on and rushing between different thoughts and dailly stuff I have to get done. :woozy_face: :woozy_face: :woozy_face:
On those days I wish I could shut my mind down for a few hours.
Normally I would do this with alcohol, but not anymore.
Today I have absolutely nothing to do besides my daily challenge.
So mindfulness and reading all day :nerd_face:
No alcohol for me today. Today I will stay sober!
Wish you all an amazing sober day my friends!
:blue_heart: :muscle: :v:

Hoodies and shoes.
I keep thinking Iā€™m not spending it on booze. And Iā€™m not buying sweets. No sugar anymore. And I never use to buy much in clothing. My new fave is the cashmere hoodie. One was not enough. I got about a dozen different hoodies now. I think Iā€™m good for awhile. And I got a ton of kicks too. Let me know when you find an answer.
Love your kicks :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
Love the 261 more :hugs:

I enjoy your posts so much @Butterflymoonwoman

Thank you for bringing joy and strength to my life.

You have been through so much and seeing you succeeding every day, makes me realize I can face just about anything I need to. I just need to be willing and determined. Which I am right now in more areaā€™s than 1. Which might seem crazy to some, but Iā€™m managing :pray:

  1. Coffee. Today Iā€™m missing the gym, which is still closed as part of our partial lockdown. The weather prediction isnā€™t great which rules out :biking_man: for me, and I donā€™t feel like :hiking_boot:. Will think of something to do. It wonā€™t involve drinking or drugging. Not today. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Make it sober and clean because it helps so much. Love from my little town walk yesterday.

772 days without gaming
6 days without abusing technology

Today is a busy day. This morning I had my driving theory exam. I passed it with flying colours :smiley:
Iā€™ll be getting my booster 2 hours from now. My headā€™s trying to convince me that listening to podcasts in the bus is okay. But it isnt. It will lead to me listening to podcasts on more and more occasions, which will lead to watching movies on rare occasions, which will lead to watching TV shows constantly, which will lead to watching YouTube constantly which will lead to me fighting not to watch gaming videos. One way or another Iā€™ll hate myself and I will want to die. So no podcasts for me. Iā€™ll listen to music and bring some cross word puzzles

Day 85. So ive still been absuing my pre workout, im on day 3 without and Iā€™m just pretty lethargic and feel kind of down and like crap. It makes me to want to self medicate in other ways, drugs/ alcohol. You can be so grateful, happy one day. And just like that the next day all that shit wonā€™t matter when the devil wants to try and drag you down. Iā€™m grateful even tho since ive relapsed the urges and temptations are no where what they use to be. But man I do miss the pink cloud, I donā€™t think Iā€™ve even had a little bit of pink cloud in these last 85 days. Been a pretty depressing one, is that bc of me maybe who knows. But I know I still wonā€™t use. I do like being sober, and being present and not getting in trouble or trying to kill myself, or getting dwis, or praying for God to keep me alive. But yet my mind still wants me to get fucked up sometimes and just not feel anymore. Idk luckily I know the truth now I guess. Iā€™m a addict, Iā€™m powerless over this shit all the time much love

Day 51.

Sober 2022. To not just be sober, but to mentally be free without the pull of withdrawal/craving. An Ultra blessing that I donā€™t take for granted. Heck itā€™s taken me 20 years to get here. I was just thinking on the drive to work, this feels very different from all my other streaks. Thatā€™s cause itā€™s not a streak, itā€™s a lifestyle change. Every time I come on hereā€¦ itā€™s a reminder of that choice. My babies will never know my addict versionā€¦ that makes me tear up just thinking about it. Everyone have a great dayā€¦ stay strong and sober.

Yes, thanks to omnicron, we keep breaking records. We have around 25k cases a day now which is crazy. And the vaccination grade isnā€™t where it should be yet.
But the lockdown is pretty tame. Non-essential stores are closed and so are the schools, but no one is affected by the latter due to it being winter break right now anyway

Just checking in.
Still sober.
Lockdown and homeschooling have been really tough.
My mood has been pretty up and down.
Going into this weekend kid free so Iā€™m going to spend it in my workshop and keep my.hands and mind busy with making.
Hope everyone is doing well. Thanks for all the support.
