Checking in daily to maintain focus #42

Day 688 clean and sober today. The concert was AMAZING last night!!! Zakk Wylde is one of my top favorite guitar players and it was so cool to finally see him live. Phenomenal show! Lots of drunk, sloppy, violent people there last night. Damn I love rock n roll :rofl::rofl::rofl: Have an amazing day today everyone, love you guys!!! :sunglasses::metal:t2:

Glad to hear you’re coming out of your funk. You got this! It sounds like you’re on the right track to positive change and better days.

Yep I made it! This milestone does not include a keychain for that I have to bite the bullet for another month. But it’s about the thought that I’ve been able to be clean and sober for 8 months now🙏

Hey everyone. Checking in on day 6! It’s a gorgeous day today so I am getting ready to head outside by the pool to get some sun. It’s going to feel good to get out and get fresh air and relax my mind. Hopefully I can even get a little tan going. Was planning on taking a book with me to do a little reading.

I’m grateful to have this group on here and I want to wish you all a happy sober day. Sending you all love and strength! Keep it up everyone!

Day 1274 AF and 5 days no caffeine is coming to an end. Getting better bit by bit. Just had a short walk after dinner. It’s idk how many steps uphill for a nice view. I was half running… My lungs were screaming. I am still a bit sick they screamed. :see_no_evil: Anyway, such a wonderful warm evening.

Hello everyone,

I finally visited some friends, because I am sober and can use my car again. Could play a boardgame without being drunken and understand the rules eventually. All in all It was a fine weekend.

I hope you all had a nice weekend, too!

Thank you🙏

Sounds like a great day. What boardgames did you play? I used to love playing with my family but since lockdown haven’t had the chance.

Day 31

Mania is leaving and now the depression is in clear view again (my brain is hotel California abt that)
The meds * are * helping to be sure, but i can’t help but feel real irritable and tired. I’m being honest about it with my husband this time around though, taking the kids to the park in a little bit to get out of the house. Not tempted to use though at least which is nice.
I just couldn’t mess it up like that rn it’s taken a lot of work i usually never put in to something like this. I just want function.
I hate this stack of dishes I’ve put off since last night but I’ll get another pop-up depression pit in the kitchen if I don’t do the thing.
Might report back later
I just get tired but it’s sunny so maybe that’ll help

More crushing depression
Bad energy.

Tomorrow will be 4.5 years. The last 2 months have been the most challenging in my sobriety due to some persistent and debilitating (at times) health problems. I’m still working with a specialist to figure out what’s going on completely. In the meantime I’ve been experiencing a decent amount of pain, extreme fatigue and some pretty severe (at least to me) neurological issues. Despite all these fun new challenges picking back has not been, nor will it be, considered. My life is challenging enough at the moment without adding drugs and alcohol to the equation.

Nice to see you Derek.
I’ll keep you in my prayers for health and for you to find some answers.
Missed you.
