Day 139 AF I had a business banquet last night that included a bar and people were drinking freely but I am still on my sober journey. No one tried to hand me alcohol this time around and many were openly supportive of my being “dry”. What a change for the better. I’m SO happy!
There are so many posts since I was last here I just don’t have time to go through them all. I apologize if I miss celebrating a milestone with you. I am truly happy for all of you that are walking your own sober journeys in this amazing community.
Checking in Day 6
Morning TS fam! It’s a chilly, snowy day out here today. Waiting for my bus to go to work. Going to get back on the positivity train and get back on track with how I want to be feeling and acting. I can not afford to be holding onto anger and resentment. Even for justified anger. Its too risky for my recovery. I asked my HP to remove that replaying scenario in my head over what happened. I asked for forgiveness of my coworker and of myself for acting the way I did. Asking my HP to work within me to show love and kindness and patient to everyone today. To be grateful and thankful. To help me to remember: To respond and not react To pause when agitated
Today I am going to have a good day! I hope u all do too!
Hey guys.
Just checking in day 27.
Not feeling great. I am having some anger issues for no reason since yesterday. For me it usually result in very self destructive action like saying hurtful things to close ones.
Just gonna take some lone time and reflect a bit.
Hope you have a great day guys.
Day 49. Haven’t posted in a bit but still reading. Since being sober I’m down 20 pounds and recently interviewed for a higher up position with my company. Only downside is that it’s nights but it would be a significant raise. Holding on to these two things to keep me going. Fight the good fight, you all are rock stars, and I wish everyone peace and love.
Checking in sober 52 days. Just had dinner, homemade Turkish stew. Next week its winter holiday from school here, and my last week on 80% sick leave. Then Im suppouse to go Back to work like normal, and I really miss it! If I keep continue feeling better like I have last days it will be Great, but if I feel so bad as I have then I dont know. Last months have been hell! Going to try make this week a good one and spend time with kids and rest alot.
Hope everyone had a great day and a wonderfull weekend
Day 184 today. Woke up early and well rested. Knocked out an 8 page paper before fiance and pups woke up. Cold but nice looking day out so have zero complaints. Have a great day everyone!
7 4/32 M alcohol free Happy Sunday to you!
Enjoying my strong coffee and opera music this morning. I regret not doing my meditation first thing today, it’s a habit now. We are off for a leisurely trail walk today.
Congrats on all milestones reached today!!
Midday checkin Day 6
Work has honestly been a bit awkward. The coworker from yesterday who I had the issue with, also worked in the lower unit and relieved the staff below at 4pm. I literally am working with that other coworker from the lower unit today. She has shunned me and has completely distanced herself from me. Not as pleasant as she normally is with me. Maybe I’m reading too much into it. Idk. But this lady has never acted this way with me before. I am reminding myself that what others think of me is none of my business. I am focusing on my job and being kind. I havd caught myself replaying yesterday’s scenario a couple times. I just let it go immediately. Anyway, I’m good. Can’t wait to get back to routine next week. Hoping a few other things will be solved this week too… mainly relating to my hubbys benefits so I can get my meds that would be such a relief! 4 hours of work to go and home to relax!

Woke up with fever. The line between taking care of yourself and feeling sorry for yourself is hard to see sometimes. I will not go to my DOC for comfort. It’s not real comfort.
Staying warm, hydrated and getting rest
Nap, eat, Netflix, repeat
I’m not pmo’ing today,
probably not gonna pmo tomorrow either.
I’m with Bran. And with you! Coming back here took guts lady. Now let’s do this! One day and one crave at a time. Maybe ask for help first next time you’re tempted? You can do this. Hugs.
@Soul_Man Thank you @Mno I do need to reach out and if it’s okay can I send you a message if I do need some support? I love the threads but there are times when it’s a little overwhelming.
that would be such a relief! 4 hours of work to go and home to relax!
