Checking in daily to maintain focus #40

This is the ingredients. I got it yesterday at 430 after I sold my exercise bike and today alone from the time I woke up I took about 14 scoops. The container was already almost gone.

Yeah thatā€™s very true, the thing is Iā€™m like what am I gonna do when I get my treadmill my mind makes me think I canā€™t workout with out it. I have the worst heartburn from it, anxiety is crazy. And I know itā€™s a problem bc as soon as I threw it out my mind was like noooooo, you needed to finish that you canā€™t waste it

Thatā€™s great news, Dana. So happy for you and your hubby. All this is possible because of your recovery. Keep doing what youā€™re doing and life is going to keep getting better.

Me too, thatā€™s exactly what it does to me. And I did notice lately itā€™s been making me gag kind of like alcohol use to do. So thatā€™s definitely my body saying itā€™s had enough. And I really do feel so good when Iā€™m off it. My mood spiked and I was feeling great

I donā€™t know how they can sell some of this stuff

@Hopeful777 thank you for your words time ago. Sorry not answering. A insight of my last relapse is that I have to be very careful when I have obsessive thoughts

Thanks so much for sharing, you write so beautifully. I am so glad you were able to stay sober through all of that. I think you have absolutely done the right thing by parting ways with your ex sponsor and taking a step back. I was drinking for similar reasons to you, and I am not using AA as a recovery programme for the same reasons you describe. It obviously works wonders for others but at the moment I think maybe you just need time to heal and process. So pleased you found a supportive friend there though.

Coffee. Watched the news for two minutes. Enough for now. Spring is in the air. Going to take a bike ride to get to therapy. Escapism yes. But thereā€™s no escaping myself because thatā€™s just not possible. We thought so when we took flight in abusing drink and drugs or addictive behaviours. But we better learn to deal with ourselves instead. I am working on it, now I am in recovery. One day at a time. Sober and clean.
Have as good a day as you all can friends. Make it clean and sober or nothing will come of it. Hereā€™s some more crocuses for you all. Love from Amsterdam.

@CATMANCAM Happy you met this lady. Twelve stepping might very well not be your way as it isnā€™t mine. But you did meet her there, and who knows where meeting her will lead you. Good on you.
@SoberWalker Hope youā€™re having a nice walk Claudia. All success this afternoon.

The 3-4 month mark was a big deal for me. My perception on alcohol changed dramatically and life kept getting better. Congrats to you!
