Checking in daily to maintain focus #37

Checking in on day 20.

Yesterday was my hardest day since removing this devil from my life. Made it through though to a new day.

Sober, proud of myself, well rested and without guilt or shame.

Thank you for your kind words. That meant a lot.

While booze can’t be referred to as an everyday bad habit, (it’s way more than that) they do say it takes 21 days to form a new habit.

New habits can be something as simple as new rituals, cutting back on sugar, learning a new skill etc. I think the transformation aspect of getting clean, is super exciting.

So you got through yesterday and you discovered you are strong. That devils not gonna take you down. WOOT!!

You go @Tim904 your nearly 3 weeks looks good on you!

97 days sober. Sober is feeling normal and good these days. Good sleep is also getting to be the norm. If anyone had told me either of these things would be so 3 months ago I would have laughed.
Congrats to all the New Years newbies that are still hanging in there sober :confetti_ball: :partying_face: :tada: It’s a joy to see you here and staying sober.

Thank you for your support :slightly_smiling_face:

Iv had a very long sleep and i feel alot better today, it comes in waves but i plan to go for a long walk to tire myself out later so i sleep well again and have a nice dinner.

Yes not drinking i feel i able to manage these feelings most days but sometimes it overwhelms me, when i was still drinking i was constantly overwhelmed in a viscous cycle constantly trying to drown out and feeling at all.
Im gratefull for everyones support thank you so much, and im here for you to if you need me :hugs:

Day 53.

Wow. I love this site. I’m like going through my list of issues one by one and starting topics and it’s like yea…I’ve come to the conclusion

A)I’m far from alone
B) it’s folks that have conquered your issues with very good suggestions
C) only half crazy but apparently it’s alot of us walking around with this too.
D) I understand the power of this site.

You got issues wrecking your life? One by one let’s talk about it. Someone somewhere has dealt with this and has a unique perspective you probably haven’t considered. Take the constructive criticism and day after day work on it. Build up your self esteem and work towards being the best version of yourself. Thats what I need to do. #1 thing I’m focusing on that will solve alot of issues:selfishness behavior. That’s my real struggle. Conquering porn was just the opening act.

Hey! My yoga studio does in person meditation classes, so I go twice a week. It would be great if you could find an in person class, I personally find that I get more into it as there are less distractions for me. I also practice yoga 2-4 times a week which to me is a form of meditation as I really focus on my breathing and get out of my head!
I get up most mornings and do the insight timer app. It’s really good too! I try to do at least 15 minutes a day.

Maybe it’s just easier for you (and for him too) to not be friends altogether,

then it would to be just friends without him wanting more.

Checking in on day 246. Wife has one more day tomorrow for her covid isolation. Tending to 4 kiddos alone has been a mental and emotional challenge lol. We all miss her and anxiously await her return to normalcy.

Got the news last night that a friend from 2 of my times in Iraq died yesterday. He was an ex-pat living abroad who never dealt with our collective demons in a healthy way. It seems it was the cirrhosis and related stroke that got him in the end. An awful reminder that I am on the right path.

Thankful for another day above ground in sobriety.
