Day 53 AF
Another funfilled weekend done and dusted. Finished reading ‘This Naked Mind’ which I found totally inspiring and will carry those learnings with me always. Hope everyone is doing ok. Take care of yourselves and each other

@Pica It will pass. One of the most important things I’ve learned in sobriety is every feeling is temporary. Learning to sit with certain ones can be really painful or uncomfortable sometimes. Most of the time I learn from that feeling. I’ve been thinking of life as a tide. How it ebbs and flows. I look up to you and I’m so proud to be on this journey with you. Sending you love to get through this rough patch, you aren’t alone

Day 159
Busy day today being out and about. Had a great time with my friend, my nephew and my daughter being nerds together. Barely winding down and just exhausted, thinking I can close my eyes and just pass out.
Another good day. I hope this keeps up.

I am a third of the way through that book and loving it, really helping me to challenge my assumptions. I already knew the unconscious mind was powerful but had never made the connection between that and my urge to drink!

Just read your story, that’s a scary thing to go trough 
How are you doing today? Hope you feel better a bit and you may worry less. It’s so kind of you to reply on my tattoo problem when you have healthy issues yourself!
Congratulations with the 
days!

Another gorgeous sunshine day and just feeling so much happier that I’m taking better care of myself.
I’ve come to realize that my anxiety is WAY down. I can only attribute this to the fact that I’m free of my addiction and all the stress that comes with it. Loving and respecting myself is a win win right now.
Have picked up a bit of weight but purposely didn’t put any extra pressure on myself in the last while. Will start hemming myself in soon. Still struggling a bit with focus and concentration at times, but trusting God and the process.
No craves or urges 
Still treading carefully and very much ODAAT.
May the dragons keep sleeping and keep me in peace.
First goal: 1 month af (almost there)
Second goal: 110 days af
Third goal: 7 months clean precisely to the day on my birthday 2nd September.

#Day 1258 
Using the Gaba supplement seems to help with me being stressed out. I use the serenity prayer a lot these days, even downloaded one in Dutch.
Bought myself new shoes to make myself happy. My old Jordan’s has a hole in the shoe sole 
This is my find:
Hope they arrive soon to cheer me up
*Today I focus on this day only and if I have a knot in my stomache I read the serenity prayer.
I hope you all have a great day and if not try the serenity prayer

Happy Sober Sunday Talking Sober Friends.
Returning to full time work this week. Excited to have structure and of course earning more income to finish paying off my debt which is almost nil and start really saving. My goal is to save for a downpayment on a home for my 3 children and I. Anything is possible with God!
Yet some anxiety of being committed 5 days a week aka Adulting. Breathe.
Prayers that all will be well.
Great Sober and serene 24 all.

Ahhhh “adulting”. That one thing we all want when we are young but as we get older…
Best of luck on your new chapter this week, ODAAT is applicable to so many areas of our life, you’re going to be ok!

Happy Sunday! I’ve had better days than yesterday but its in the past now. Through prayer and faith I will get past it.
I’m thinking about moving my coffee maker to my nightstand haha. Oh well, must get my behind out of bed as I have a Zoom AA shortly. At least I only need to look good from the waste up.
Have an awesome day my friends!

I absolutely love this post! I hope you continue to post more my friend 
I have on occasion typed and then deleted my post. Or typed, posted it, and then like 20 sec later deleted it (Hoping no one saw it haha). But u know what?! Posting our thots and feelings and where we are at in life is speaking our truth. This is where we are at and thats ok! Sometimes we might feel embarrassed by it or worried about what others will think… but u never know who is sitting somewhere, feeling the same way or going thru thr same stuff, just wanting to feel apart of and that they aren’t alone. I have an issue with opening up too much about stuff when i feel safe (like on TS). It’s very natural for me to open up about my life (I’ve been doing it since the age of 16 with various supports). I have to learn to back off a bit and that there is time and place for that. Plus I don’t ever want to trigger someone accidentally. So I have to reread my posts Sometimes to make sure it’s OK for others.
Honestly tho, u sound like ur making great progress!!! I’m proud of you!! And I absolutly agree about working on the inside stuff so that we are not continually trying to fill this void inside, with outside sources (bcuz those are temporary). The internal stuff (peace and serenity and calmness etc) come from the inside. Idk ur belief system but for me the only way I get that calmness thru all the stuff going on, is thru my HP. Thats my constant in my life. Thats what gets me thru anything and gives me that internal peace. I’m proud fo you tho for staying on this path of recovery, even tho mentally ur finding it hard. Thays not easy to do. Nut ur doing it! Please post as much as u want. I always enjoy seeing ur posts have a great day my friend!!!
