Day 1200 without booze and 4 days no sweeteners. I met someone from work in the grocery store who knows a bit of my story there. Itâs dawning on me more and more. I was alone in the office so more time to work and think. Thinking is not a good idea for me. So, as we were talking he was right, I can keep on going like this until I have another breakdown. Sometimes itâs time to go and let go. There is this huge resistance and fear, my inner mantra: I am stupid and not good enough is always playing and fueled by rejection after rejection. I was following a online yoga class Kundalini Yoga last night but I was so not used to it I needed to stop. I will try with a shorter sequence today.
Itâs a rest day for me. My toe is hurting a bit. Trigger point release helps a bit.
Well, whoever is reading might see how my mm Ind is jumping from one thing to the next.
Hope everyone has a good and sober day.

Hi Kat here checking in on Day 196. Clean and Sober, loving my fight. Peace in my heart.
Plan today is to get to the gym, do some cleaning and laundry, maybe have a nap, then Zoom meeting tonight before going to work. Four more night shifts then on to 6-2 days for a month which will be good and easier to follow routine.
I love, love, love this forum you guys are my rock 
and roll.

3rd day of new sober restart, but 40 days sober in 2022 total⌠Am happy with that for me so far. Feel low today, felt amazing yesterday. No reason why, just riding it. Sleepy and low energy, mood. Eating nice good food and being kind to self, reading and hydrating. Doing what I can to stay on track.
Food to me is always where love and care starts.

Day 2
Today has been a beautiful start to my day. Love my time in the mornings where I can read a passage, read my NA book, pray, and reflect on how I want to approach my day, being God conscious, kind, patient, & grateful. The last couple of nights I have had a really hard time falling asleep. My relationship with hubby has been mainly good but he gets mad so quickly for the smallest things. Stress or tired or hungry? Idk whatâs going on. I have been trying to open up to him about my day. I told him I was connecting with God alot more, he has his own opinion on God (he doesnât believe there is one). But I told him that my belief is personal to me and he can choose to believe or not to believe. I told him I did 2 meditations yesterday⌠his response, âDid God talk to you?â (Said with a snicker). Well I told him meditation is about listening and clearing the mind and grounding myself. It does bother me that he isnât as supportive as Iâd like or that we are even remotely alike Iâm in and sense (we are SO different people), but we do love each other. I am realizing that my expectations are high (nothing wrong with wanting to be treated a certain way) but when I expect things from others and they fall short, I get disappointed and hurt. I had to do this with my dad growing up. He is very unemotionally available. I remember crying and standing in front of the TV at maybe 7 yrs old, begging my dad to pay attention to me. All he told me was to not be so loud, cuz the neighbors will here me. And I think back to my psychology class in college about psychologist John Gottman where he talks about imprinting. This theory suggests that we can become psychologically conditioned to being attracted to a distinct parental personality type by the time weâre 18 months old. This âimprintingâ is the result of a combination of factors, including, how we received (or were deprived of) love, intimacy, and security from our parents. This in turn can effect how we choose our partners. And I feel like this is accurate for me. Anyway, I have never been the type to not do something bcuz someone around me isnât on the same page. I do what I want if it is beneficial for me. I just will continue on my path and hope that an added benefit is hubby seeing how Iâve changed and how the things I do make a big difference. Actions speak louder than words. Have a great day everyone!

Holy Moly!!! Thatâs HUGE!!!
Just a thought @anon53116147 Mike: I think it is so great what you did in your life. I mean the tattooing. It was what a year ago you decided, pooooof, fuck my work I quit and will become a tattoo artist. Because thatâs what I love. In my head this is something crazy. It is great. Thatâs what it is. You know what you want and you go for it. Itâs not easy, I read and sober life isnât wonderful each day but you take care of your girls, you live with your mother which regardless why should be given a medal for.
I am stuck in the what do I really want part.
