Morning check in
Day 4
Hi TS fam! Hope u are all having a wonderful day so far! I am feeling sort of ā€œoffā€ this morning. Not sure why. Guess my streak of happy days had to come to a halt at some point lol. Not going to let this effect me. I realize itā€™s okay to feel ā€œoffā€ or sad or whateverā€¦ but itā€™s what I do with it that makes all the difference. I didnā€™t want to pray this morning, read my Bible passage or read my NA book, didnā€™t want to do my morning stretches or check in here. Sort of had that thotā€¦ ā€œwell I just donā€™t feel like it, so one day of not doing what Iā€™m supposed to do is okā€.
Ya noā€¦ this is a red flag for me. So I had to push myself a bit to follow thru. Iā€™m glad I did tho. My mood has improved. I was super irritable 1st thing this morning and now Iā€™m not so much. Feeling strong still in not wanting to use. But do have some fear over hubby asking me about making a call tonight seeing how itā€™s Friday. Not in that I have fear of using but more so that I just donā€™t want to deal with that question. I just donā€™t want to deal with it. But staying close to my HP today and u all and will stay grounded and keep tabs on my emotions and thots.

Iā€™m feeling wonky too. Lost my pink cloud :worried: Iā€™m like a little kid whose balloon floated off into the sky. I wants it back.

Iā€™ve been so overly emotional and ya even this made me wanna tear up lol we can get thru this day. We can change the direction of our day at any point! I might actually try the whole music and dancing thing too. Sounds energizing!

Day 19 ā€”

My days have been pretty good, my moods have been so/so , some days I am super grateful and so happy, and other days are super depressing with regrets and irritability. I try to control it but itā€™s super hard at times.

I donā€™t actually have a lot on my mind or a lot to say which is kind of odd , I just taking it day by day.

My kids are gone this weekend , so I have a quiet , relaxing weekend ahead of me which I am super excited aboutā€‹:heart_eyes::heart:

Happy Friday folks , I hope you all have a wonderful sober weekend with no regrets :muscle::heart:

Midday check in
Day 4
Day has greatly improved from a like 5 hours ago. Took care of some phone calls and responsibilities. Cooking stuffed chicken in the oven now for lunch for wraps. Read the JFT reading againā€¦ I really love this reading and how it talks about connection of HP and recovery. Then hubby calls from work and he is treating me to my favorite restaurant for a late valentines day supper. Thereā€™s this beautiful Italian Restaurant with THE best grewn peppercorn steak and lemon tiger prawns and seafood pasta etc. Those are my fav items. It was his idea and he will be picking it up on his way home from work. This makes my heart just glow! Bcuz for years we rarely ever celebrated holidays, especially valentines day. We never had money too due to using drugs. And I feel a bit of sense of relief also for tonight and not having to deal with the stress of saying no to him (I donā€™t know if heā€™d even ask but my mind is always preparing myself lol). Anyway, here is the JFT readingā€¦ beautiful reading :heartpulse:

Didnā€™t sleep well and been up since 4am, been really stressed today Iā€™m guessing the lack of sleep has something to do with it otherwise I donā€™t know why! I was tempted to buy cigs, eat junk food or drink but I didnā€™t do any, pretty pleased with myself about that as although Iā€™m checking in day 33 without drinking, I have been struggling with the food and cigs, but think Iā€™m slowly getting more on track with those too, so that can certainly go down as an achievement for this weekā€‹:grin: happy weekend everyone :heart:

ā€¦ my kids been slowly talking me into getting a vape, I finished a packet of tobacco today and I always hate having to buy another pack. So I got a vape, itā€™s been fine all afternoon, thoughts of going to buy tobacco, and I didnā€™t act on themā€¦ the vape can make me feel a little drowsy if I have too much, I have just worked out. :sleeping::sleeping::sleeping::sleeping::sleeping:
