Checking in daily to maintain focus #42

:high_brightness: Morning Check In :high_brightness:
Day 96
Feeling okay I guess today. Iā€™m honestly not wanting to work today tho. Iā€™m also feeling very disconnected today from TS and my HP. I didnā€™t do my usual morning prayer and meditation yesterday so maybe thatā€™s part of it. I really do have to do it every day to feel okay and to feel stronger in my recovery. Will do it on the bus on the way to work. My motivation to stay clean is about a 7/10 (I do this sort of self reflection every morning to see where Iā€™m at mentally in my recovery. It letā€™s me know if I need to step it up abit). So yes, today will be one of those days to do that.
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!
Hugs TS fam!

Thanks man. Iā€™m feeling it.

Checking in on DAY 2! Couldnā€™t sleep last night and ended up taking a nasty fall in the hall tripping over some boxes, went down on ceramic tile, knees, hands & wrists took the majority of the hit. Nothing broke, just bruised and very sore today.

In a weird way, I think maybe my failing this week was what was needed, what would have happened if I fell what should have been day 25, having those feelings to drink. I have faith in God and am a believer in things often happen for a reason. Helps me put a positive spin on not so positive stuff.

Good news the fall was 100% sober, few years back I drunk fell outside on my cement walkway, too drunk to catch myself, I used my face to break the fall. Broke my nose, blood everywhere, neighbor helped me out, oh and also managed to break a toe? Bottom line, drunk or sober, Iā€™m just not that graceful.:hugs: Hope everyone has a beautiful day!

Sorry new but what is HP?

Higher power. Used as a generic because it doesnā€™t have to be god, could be something more personal.

8 days 11 hours 8 minutes. No cravings to date. I never used to crave even while drinking I just never wanted to have free time without alcohol. I think it was more of a conditioning over the years like I couldnā€™t do the fun things without alcohol. When I did those ā€œfun thingsā€ it was always really a gather to just drink as much as you can until you pass out. Itā€™s been a long time that I donā€™t need that type of ā€œfunā€ in my life but I still had the habits. Anyway I have been good so far in sobriety still my only concern short term is vacation coming up. But since Iā€™m aware of it now I think I can prepare and plan things around to ensure my sobriety.

Thank you for asking, I wasnā€™t sure either. Also had to Google IMO the other day from a post I read. It means ā€˜In My Opinionā€™ How did we ever get through life without Google??!

Working on Day 3 and absolutely pumped about it. Maintaining positivity and keeping to a disciplined schedule is helping immensely. I also plan to get myself some magnesium this morning to substitute for these fried GABA receptors of mine.

Thanks guys, I will be sober with you all today.

Hello Kat here at day 290 free from meth pills

Doing better mood wise, at work, was able to do dishes, laundry, shower and brush my teeth last night. Perhaps my 15-year-old son being with me for the weekend gave me a lift. One thing for sure, doing those chores and being clean and having clean clothes gave me a lift. Those little things are so damn hard to do when youā€™re depressed but also so pivotal to coming out of the depression.

Well, hereā€™s hoping. Have made a commitment to going to Sundayā€™s in-person NA meeting so going to make that happen.

Hope youā€™re all well and having a good sober Saturday!

Love Kat
