Checking in daily to maintain focus #41

Hi Kat here checking in Day 246.

Things going well did an online meeting last night but ruined it by surfing on another device during. Didn’t pay attention to other’s shares etc. Mind was not on it. Not good am ashamed of myself. Will turn over new leaf.

Going for a body wax today ha ha so will be in some discomfort no doubt.

Love and have a great sober day!

Afternoon all, been a busy few days and emotional roller coaster but checking in on day 230. Raining, but it is warmish, have some music going and knocking out some school work early. Stay safe and take care.

Morning check in
Day52
Sum is shining, I am feeling good so far today! Did my usual daily morning routine but did not go to the gym. I am still too sore and just wanting to listen to my body. Have some running around to do today and some more dreamcatcher making. That’s it for me :slight_smile:
Hope everyone has an addiction free day

1 month sober!
Feel good about being sober. So now and then thoughts of drinking comes to my mind. But it’s not very often. I had a dream that I had a hard time to explain why I don’t drink anymore.
I’m still avoiding social occasions, which is a bit boring.
But the biggest reward is that I feel so much love for my son. Spending time with him without feeling tired and exhausted. My life is so much better!

Wishing everyone much :heart:

Hey all, I’m new and still trying to figure out this format of forum; but thought I’d try and reply to this topic :slight_smile: Today is day 4 for me from quitting weed, and yesterday was TOUGH, but I made it! And damn, today feels good. Got good sleep bc I didn’t stay up getting high. My daughter is happy, and the sun is out. :sun_with_face: I’m babysitting today with my little one in tow, and hanging out with these kiddos is easier now that I’m not exhausted. Looking forward to a new way of life! Hope you folks have a beautiful day! <3 Sam

Good morning everyone😊 Almost at day 10 and remembering the great feeling of being sober and making it through the cravings the night before. I am so so so so glad I didn’t give in last night. I’m thankful to have a little extra time as one of my clients is away and I had a beautiful walk to the beach this morning. Just getting ready to teach my first class of the day the sun is shining and I feel great. Thanks for everyone’s support always❤️

Day 817!

Got a few things done today, nothing major, but they’re minor things that get pushed until times indefinite, so it definitely feels good. Am I the only lunatic that finds beauty in our struggles? Like, it’s mine, it may not be unique to me but it is exlusive. It’s my program, my project, my story, my journey, my battle to overcome my vices. There’s something oddly beautiful about it.

I was expounding on that, but as I thought about it more, it started to not make sense to me, so I deleted it, and in that moment of realzing I couldn’t determine what I was trying to say, I felt a chemical shift in my brain.

Welcome Samantha. I’m glad you found us.
Congratulations on day 4 off weed. Getting high at night always made my mind race and wonder and I never got a good nights sleep. Just kept smoking and stayed awake. Vicious cycle. Have a good read around. If you got any questions just ask. Even technical stuff about navigating the app. Lots of very helpful people here to guide us all.
I’m using Insight Timer app to help me sleep now. It’s a wonderful meditation app if your into that stuff.
I hope to see you around.

What a super reward being able to spend time with your son without the thoughts and fall outs from drinking. You guys are both worth it.

Woweee it’s super encouraging to see all these big numbers of sobriety here.
Really makes me hopeful that one day I will push the triple digits :blush:
9 days without alcohol and binge eating here. It’s Friday morning, the tough parts for me are not drinking after a big work week on a Friday night and spending time and too much money at the pub all weekend.
I’ve got a little swim date with a friend planned tomorrow morning, hoping to do some reading and cooking and maybe play some games with my hubby.
I’ll try stay active on here as much as I can, it really helps me seeing everyone staying sober and reminds me of why I’m doing this thang. My selective memory/shit memory gets about a week of sobriety in and goes ah good job, remember how fun drinking is? Haha
Have a great day/night my friends :two_hearts:

Yes that goes hand in hand. No alcohol means my body wants sugar instead. Many experience this.
When eating more protein and veggies and moving my body more this craving will stop.
Bought a new book today “Eckhart Tolle - A new earth” and I love it :heart_eyes:
Tomorrow is my last day at work. For the next 16 days I’m going to focus on healing and treating me well. I’ll make myself a nice dinner and after finishing that I’ll probably continue reading.
