Checking in daily to maintain focus #38

25 days sober today ! I’m ok today I guess. There is so many things I’m feeling and thinking but I just don’t how to say them. I just feel disconnected from everyone . This is one of the reasons I relapsed last time !

@947496893734373 One day at a time, you can do it.

@Clarity @anon74766472
I am glad both of you shared your feelings. Life can be really hard. I want to say something to help, but I know it isn’t something that can be fixed by a few words. Sending strength.

@Pica That’s great! Glad it went well :purple_heart:.

@anon53116147 Small societies like to make drama, sorry you got dragged into it.

@Gbw3006 Lots of people to connect to on here.

Yea I’m doing resentments, it’s all new to me so I don’t really need to be overloaded with everything in this step… resentments is the first part and that’s all I’m focusing on right now. Thankyou so much :rainbow::green_heart::rainbow::green_heart::rainbow::green_heart::pray:

I started off great today. Woke up before 8, had less of a headache than usual. (Why have I been waking up with one every single day??) I even made myself go to the gym. Didn’t feel better afterward. Just makes be feel fat and weak. Aren’t there supposed to be endorphins and shit? Got home and watched “Lost In Translation” which made me think a couple of things. 1) Scarlett Johannsen is f’ing seventeen in this movie so I suddenly felt really old. 2) I didn’t know Evelyn Waugh was a dude. I finally got some news about school. Can’t fill out the financial aid paperwork until March 28, but I can study a lot until then.
Anyway, it hasn’t been an especially depressing day, but I feel really down anyway. :confused:

Checking in sober… closing out another day clean and heading into a new work night hangover free. February is a depressing month… or maybe it’s just me? At any rate here I am pushing through the dark winter one day at a time with all of you :muscle::purple_heart:

Day 36 AF
Wow, woke up feeling like crap which hasn’t happened in a long time. Messaged the boss and went back to bed. Mentally have been really good for a few months but just felt suddenly depressed this morning. Might spend the day with my head in a book I think.

Wow that cake looks amazing! (I say 12 days later… :sweat_smile: ). I would bake more, but then I know I’ll eat what I bake and then I feel sick. My self control isn’t always strong.

@apes2020 You should make a shoe thread. nudge nudge :laughing:
@anon27760155 Congrats on your 18 months!
@dalex77_2 I’m glad you’re alive and in a place to get care. I’ve been worried for you.
@CATMANCAM Welcome back. This is a place where just about all of us know a lot about feeling ashamed for something or another. You are the master of your own destiny.
@DLS Congrats on your 20 months. I’m so happy for you!
@Dolse71 Congrats on your 500 days!
@Rockstar24777 600 days! Amazing!

Yeah I know… Replies going back 7 days. :sweat_smile:

@apes2020 So excited for you to start over in a new place and with a Marie Kondo-y approach!
@Pickles 1 year is amazing! Great job!
@Nordique congratulations on 600 days! Really fantastic!
@KevinesKay Congrats on 100! I’m sorry you were having a rough time after that 90 day mark, but I really liked reading about how much your life is improving.
@CATMANCAM I don’t remember where you live, but where I’m at there are a few stores that will let you order online and you have the option for them to deliver without you having to interact. I think it just depends on the store or the service, but maybe you can find a place with that option. Doesn’t seem like a strange thing to write in a check-in post to me. We all face different challenges that impact our lives and sobriety.
@anon52066378 Congratulations on 70 days! I’m sorry to hear one of your kids have been ill. Is he/she on the mend?

This is the best source I know of for that info: Understanding Discourse Trust Levels

@Mbwoman Congrats on your 11 months!
@Kacialyn Great job on your one week. Don’t compare yourself with others. 1 week is a big deal for you and thus it is a big deal. Every day, hour, or even minute you are sober is a grand victory because it is the choice you make in each of those minutes, hours, and days that creates your future.
@Eke Congrats on paying off that school loan!! What an accomplishment!

Checking in. Was going to wait around to catch the .65 but whenever I try to do it, I get distracted and miss it anyway :joy:

Hope you’re all having a great Thursday.
“I so regret not drinking last night” said no one ever. Keep up the clean and sober fight x
