Checking in on day 49, it’s my last day off. Next week the stress continues. I really have to take care of me more, because now I feel so calm and good. I do more skincare, eat better and started sports. Every 3rd day I do some cardio, stretching and planking. Makes my mind calm and my body stronger. I don’t want to overwhelm my body again as I did in the past, I start slow this time.
Going to cook now and hang on my PC doing some shopping.
Have a beautiful sober day team

Morning Check in
Day 67
Woke up having another drug related dream. I’m saying this bcuz in my dream I didn’t use. I saw my DOC in my dream and there was another person trying to offer me it and I didn’t take it. So that’s different. I didn’t wake up feeling as if I had used or felt shame or guilt etc.
Today is very much a relaxing day. Did a meditation at 630am. Ate a healthy breakfast, drinking coffee now and will head out for a smudge and then do my prayer and connect to my HP. Think I will work on a dreamcatcher today also & do some cleaning. Nothing much else today.
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!

Ahhhh!!
Has anyone been embarrassed from having to do a drug test? I had to do a drug test today which is usually done discreetly. The usual person that gives the test wasn’t in today so the one that did today came out, called my name in front of other people who weren’t there to test with the gloves on and the cup in hand. The most embarrassing part about it was, I was talking to an associate who I used to work with who had no clue I used any substances or knew why I was there!!
Why do I feel so humiliated right now?

Day 39 ~
Still waiting for HR to provide severance paperwork…Ugh! Hopefully, I’ll have it soon. Scheduled Zoom meeting with attorney to review once I get the darn paper in hand.
Later today I have an interview with the CEO of a company in Memphis, Tennessee. Interesting position and it is a faith based family company. Could be a positive move for me.
Nothing else, did some yard work and will need to do my daily devotion and prayer. I’m really getting into Stoicism as it is helping me with my stress and anxiety. Have random thoughts of drinking, but I’m not acting on it.
This morning I had a great phone call with my sponsor and I’ll probably go to a AA meeting tonight.

As time passed my recovery grew and with that my ego got right sized… humiliation became humility as I am sure it will for you too. Let that feeling go, it’s just a feeling, try to be proud that you pissed clean! Or if not clean, cleaner than you were pissing 4 days ago.

Not waiting around for a guy i picked as sponsor its been week and a half w no response- already found a guy and wow just wow. Stark contrast. I was able to express my gratitude and thankfulness for the first guy as he was there with me through a lot in the beginning. And I let him know that I’m reaching out to somebody new as a sponsor. First guy is a really awesome guy-thankful for him and will see him at my home group all the time I hope.
