Checking in daily to maintain focus #41

Checking in on my day 12
The cold feeling I had in my body, specially on the afternoons seems to have faded away finally yesterday.

Still so much to work on! And yet hard to manage anxiety so I am trying to give me some space… everything seems so contradictory these days when it comes to everything.

One day at a time, thank you everyone for this supportive community

That’s probably the light asking you to reset your tire pressure… should be somewhere a button with a similar exclamation mark you should press for a couple of seconds after starting…

After changong the tires your car notices pressures have changed so the pressures need to be accepted, telling yiur car they are okay.

I didn’t dream at all when I drank. It returned with a vengeance after becoming sober. Part of a healthy sleep pattern. And yes, they can be pretty crazy.

Day 620

Headachey and resentful this morning. My husband was off work today (he worked the last two Saturdays) so he was in a super chipper mood that grated on my nerves. However, he seemed to realise my foul mood and offered a neck massage (rare for him, he’s a physiotherapist, so a bit of a busman’s holiday). It was so painful, I guess because the muscles were so tight. My headache was significantly better afterwards, and had a pleasant afternoon taking my daughter swimming while he took my son to his parents’ house (and to massage his mum). Shout out to those with chronic pain, it is so hard to be positive when your body hurts.

This is a pretty aggressive act towards yourself. I know this state of mind: screw you all. I cannot be helped.

I don’t know if I am correct but I remember that you felt and might be feeling so much resentment from when you first fell of the waggon with over a year of sobriety.
We can read so many stories here from people with sooo many days sober and then giving in getting back to square one.
I have so much respect for Dana @Butterflymoonwoman who is coming back again and again. And you see that it’s working. There shouldn’t be shame in it, coming back. Your sober experience from the past are still there.

Is there anything worth being sober? Being a sober tattoo artist. Being a sober Dad that can still be stressed and pissed. Being sober didn’t make me an angel.

Also I want to quote again what I heard in therapy: shit is stinking but it’s also warm. I can feel it myself atm. I know my current situation, I know I am suffering atm, but I know it. Moving again and knowing all the shit that will come with it plus a uncertain situation in a new town and job makes me even wanting to stay stuck in my well known shitty situation here.

Make baby steps, maybe go searching something you enjoy, something physical. Our monthly workout challenge thread is always open :crazy_face: and also the yoginis and meditation people welcome new people and also the gratidudes…

Oh My yuuuuuup lol we let “ A family” member move in w us and it was all bad and it was the same story in that she went about this business of making our business her business when she coukdnt even run her own business lo! I so feel for you and I lovvvvvved how you put it that “I am now required to be an advocate for myself and my family as the situation has shown itself without the cloud of drugs ruining good judgement.”- As i saw her shit all along and looking back im even smiling knowing I wasnt the crazy one and glad I spoke up- I went the authentic route and she couldnt handle- I don’t recommend it lol if you want to keep the peace for know but i admire how you are moving into attempting a stable place of mind for tou and yours…for now. I wish you all that you need to handle this as it is SO! NOT! EASY! And can be so triggering. Identify with that too.

Thank you, you say it very nicely. At first I was complaining about my day because it was heavy but in the end I gave a client a nice day and because of that I had a good day myself. It’s really in the little things and that’s what we need to focus on. Thanks for the reminder!
