Hi everyone, checking in today on my 90th day AF! This is my longest stretch without drinking since I was pregnant with my daughter 10 years ago and Iā€™m determined to keep it going. Things ARE getting better, not to say there isnā€™t any bumps in the road along the way but thatā€™s life, you just learn to ride them out. Sober life is treating me good, I want to stay here. Best to all of you! :heart::peace_symbol:

I read that last sentence in your post and went ā€œAmen!ā€ You learn how to take the bumps along they way, you ride it out WITHOUT ACTING OUT! Sober life is good! Iā€™m a week behind you about to hit my 90th Day! Congrats!!!

Checking in still clean with another day ahead of me.

I am sitting in bed working on a set of steps that are already quite difficult. They are from the work book Inner Bonding by Margret Paul ( I canā€™t remember if I have mentioned it). They seem to hit me right where I need work the most.

I am only on page 16 but already looking into ā€œLearning how to Loving Manage Existential Painā€ The last point of this group hit home and I feel it may for a lot of you as well.

KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR PASSION AND PURPOSE IS WITHIN YOUR SOUL SELF. WHEN YOU AVOID EXISTENTIAL PAIN WITH SELF-ABANDONING BEHAVIOR, YOU BLOCK ACCESS TO YOUR DEEPER SENSE OF PURPOSE, WHICH CAN LEAD YOU TO WONDERING WHY YOU ARE ON THE PLANET.

Ever wondered what the fucking point is?
I sure did, many times, and I just couldnā€™t see it because I couldnā€™t feel anything. Then when I did start to feel, the pain seemed too much!!! And I just didnā€™t know what to do with itā€¦ I donā€™t know HOW to manage all that pain. Well, I am going to learn because I am not willing to keep abandoning myself to escape it anymore, it never goes away and I am always running.

Fuck fear.

Yeah itā€™s amazing how when I peel everything back to the root of something I am usually acting out of fear.

Fear of failure
Fear of success
Fear of not being liked
Fear of someone misunderstanding me
Fear ofā€¦

I just need to keep having faith now!!!

Still super sick with a head cold :frowning: I got some good rest last night tho. Just drinking tea and trying at least to be somewhat active. Going to try cooking real food today haha got this beautiful roast with carrots and baby potatoes to throw in the slow cooker. Will make a nice gravy with it and season it all up. I canā€™t wait to eat already :yum: Anyway, hope everyone has a great day!

Day 117. Really had a nice awaking last night I looked at the clock at 10:10 I didnā€™t think anything of it, came upstairs started laying down and feeling very disturbed and anxious and having a break down it was like 2 in the morning and I just felt ten ten so I went and checked the angel number. The message was amazing, let go let God I could feel the erergy and the love when I started reading it my whole body got goosebumps. I am sorry for some of my very celft centered post I and very selfish not just here but in life as well and plan on working on itā€¦ I saw a friend who knows I tattoo ask for recommendations on fb for tattoos artist, my heart sank everyone in there who knows I tattoo commenting all these artist but me. It hurt like for real, but at the same time I get it. I sent her a very nice polite messaged and said I get the stigma around coming to new artist but I study and practice this daily with a passion, all my stuff is from reputable tattoo shops and authentic not cheap Amazon stuff, I have consent forms and blood born certified, I told her Id really love to get the design together for her and if not I 100 percent understand and hope she has a wonderful day. By her response I donā€™t think she wants too. But I tried and thatā€™s all I can keep doing. I will succeed I promise to myself I will succeed. I hope you all have amazing days thank you for all you do and your support, I will be lending more support and opening myself up more here as well. Love yā€™all

Hey guys, Kat here checking in on Day 187 or 188 (canā€™t remember and my sober clock app is 8 hrs ahead). All is good just off to work shortly. I am so grateful for my job it is making me feel good inside after 5 years lost to addiction and relapse.

Didnā€™t make a meeting or the gym this morning, slept in, but I will be kind to myself and accept that. Maybe can do a meeting off virtual.na when I get home at 1030pm.

Thinking of you all and keep going in your sobriety it is a beautiful thing :wink:
