Checking in daily to maintain focus #40

Congratulations on day 28th and congratulations on taking responsibility. I can definitely relate to trying to remind myself of the consequences of drinking when I’m having a craving. In fact I have written down in my journal all the negative things that alcohol brings into my life. There’s literally nothing good that it brought ever except a fleeting moment of feeling good which never lasted and always turned into feelings of regret, sadness, anger and anxiety.
Thanks for sharing and I wish you a beautiful day.

157 cleaned organized my house good yesterday even took all my tattoo stuff out re organized all of that and double disinfected everything just because. Lots of negative talking that I was trying to turn into positive talking, you really can’t trust your thoughts after 9 pm idk how many times I went back and for saying I don’t want this anymore, I hate being sober. I don’t hate being sober but I do hate feeling. I’m selfish and I don’t like to feel. Have two tattoos today. A simple ovarian cancer tattoo and the sun mandala design which I was able to to get everything straightened up, I just hope it flows with the area of the skin she wants it. I saw this funny tattoo meme that said what would you rather have. A perfect tattoo but have to lay the stencil 5 times. Or lay the stencil perfect first try and trace all your tattoo without a thermal printer. Most definitely give me the the perfect tattoo :rofl: I never lay the stencil perfect first try lol. Well hoping I nail these today nerves are not crazy like they were for those last two girls. Much love

@CATMANCAM Thank u so much fir comment. It’s actually true when it comes to not getting needs my met thru my father and probably 90% of my relationship were either abusive (some worse than others), or involved drugs/alcohol etc so toxic relationships never tend to fill needs. My hubby thankfully (even tho we have used together for a long time) is the healthiest I’ve been in. And even tho we aren’t perfect, I DO see us changing by us being clean. It’s a great motivator to keep on track. Congratulations on ur ur days free of ur addictions also! It’s so nice to see u keep tackling these urges!
@felipeandrews Congratulations on 1 week!!! Great job :clap:

Last week I finally chose my Christmas present from my work (bit late). I chose watercolor pencils. Great to kill some time and to prevent the cravings. This is my first experiment :slight_smile:

Morning check in
Day34
Really had a rough sleep last night. I was tossing and turning and waking up multiple times. It was so bad that my hubby woke up at like 5am or so to go to the living room. I was having using dreams back to back to back. And during my times of being slightly awake throughout the night I’d have to ask myself if I used. It was the most disturbing feeling I’ve had yet. Just half asleep and disoriented. Once I woke up for work I was able to fully realize that I hadnt used last night. I had to replay my day/night from yesterday to make sure. What the hell was with that?! Anyway, I am okay now. Did my readings and prayer on the bus on my way to work. Trying my best to see the positive in every situation. What we think about… we bring about. I also added another counter under “Emotional Eating”. I am aware of when I do this (at least I think so lol). So going to try and manage this and find different ways to prevent this. But I am ready to tackle the day clean and sober!!! Love u guys!

I’m starting to realize the relationship I had with my mom is very different now that I’m sober and I’m feeling super sad about it. I just had to end a phone call and feel kind of unsettled about it all. No one lost their temper or anything but it was just a bit of a disagreement and misunderstanding and I’m left feeling kind of disappointed and hurt.
I’m also exhausted because as much as I love this kitten she’s keeping me up and I’m not getting a good sleep at all.
I’m happy it’s Sunday and I don’t have a lot to do today.
