Checking in daily to maintain focus #39

4th day sober of new stretch. 45 days sober in 2022, 10 spent drinking. Grateful for sobriety. Have attended about 4 WIM AA 24/7 meetings that @TigerMatriarch kindly posted. Very good overall, some more appropriate to me.

Iā€™m working on myself daily and keeping strong mentally. However, am very sad to see the news today and it has triggered some level of anxiety and ā€˜f*ck it allā€™ attitudeā€¦

Yes. Understandable and relatable. Please know itā€™s just another trick addiction uses to get us back in its clutches. Know that nothing can make us use. Nothing but ourselves that is. Whatever happens happens. Drinking wonā€™t help ourselves or anything or anyone. Have a good sober day Emma.

My body automatically wakes up at 5am now no alarm required. Still looking forward to reading the 5am club book recommended by @apes2020.

My mornings are peaceful and self care filled. So the rest of my day generally flows wellā€¦and if not I can deal with the ups and downs with greater ease.

I havenā€™t heard the news yet but reading some post my stomach sunk. Prayers for peaceā€¦what a foolish world we live in at times ā€¦war should never be an optionā€¦guess thatā€™s just fairy tale wishes.

God bless us all.

Strong and serene 24 all.:purple_heart::pray:t4:

Amazing sunny day here. Been very busy day so far.
Signed papers with one of biggest company in my country.

Then some work on removing rust and repainting left wing of my car.

Making food now

On evening going to other city. Will spend weekend with my girlfriend and her kids.
See You later.
Thank You.

I like to cook. They say those who like to eat, like to cook. Suits me right :smiley:
I also love bodybuilding. They also say, those who dont like to eat - bodybuilding is not for them ;D but itā€™s a joke kid of, depends on genetics and goals.

That looks amazing!! I am veggie but would love a meat free version. I am going to the shops later and some of those ingredients will feature now.

I am not a bodybuilder but definitely need to look into the science as need to build strength. Have reached the age where I have to use it, or lose it! I refuse to be frail as I age.

My job requires me to work evenings so I would not set an alarm and wake-up whenever. That caused me also to be up all night not resting very well. For the last 2 weeks Iā€™ve been settling an alarm for 6AM and getting my butout 9f bed early. The result is I know sleep through the night and get a good nightā€™s rest! Iā€™m all for getting up early!

Good morning all! Reflecting on how awesome it is to get up in the morning and remember where I left my keys and wallet the night before haha! Have an awesome sober day!

We are in for a snowstorm here in the Chicago area today. They have nor been too accurate in forecasting so letā€™s see if they got this one correct.
