Checking in daily to maintain focus #42

Thanks so much for the perspective! That’s really true, I definitely just need to think about living it instead of getting some vague concept that’s going to ‘fix it all’

I’m glad to have this place and I’ll keep chugging along and doing the things, and try to keep being patient along the way

Currently away from home and can’t sleep, the night before starting training for my new entrepreneurial project. I’m feeling nervous, emotions are running high. It’s a big career change and there’s a lot going on; I’m getting all up in my head about this.

One step at a time. One… step… at… a… time.

Still three hours until my alarm goes off. Going to try to get some sleep. That’s my next step, and that’s all there is. :innocent:

Don’t punish yourself. When you fall, all you gotta do is make sure you get back on your feet🍀

Checking in at day 265.
Still not at work. Was supposed to start again yesterday but still have a fever so I listen to my body and stay home. Today I will start a conversation with my work about how to proceed because my doctor wants me to work half of what I do now. But I feel pretty good and the weather was nice yesterday so I gave my dog ​​her 1st swimming lesson of the year

Have a good and sober day everyone

Yes it is. Like I said I do not know if I like it but I give it a try. Just seen the first episode. If you like an a bit weird black humor serie with sarcasm in it? Watch Fargo season 1!!

Just wanted to say that this here is a gem. I agree @mamador (and others…) we don’t have to “get” anything. We might have moments that feel like things click, but it could be rare and if we are striving for that we might be less likely to find it. We just have to keep being present and live the life we have today, each day. Thanks, Matt.

Congrats :tada::clap:
You must feel so proud of yourself!
That is HUUGE; I hope I am able to make it that long some day. Seems 30 days is much harder than I can remever it being in the past.

Well done! You made it! And you’ll keep going, one day at a time.

:pensive: I do not have Amazon Prime and it’s not on Prime video unfortunally. But thanks for the tip Rosa.

Oh my the nerves, im getting ready for my new job this morning so nervous. Im on to my third cup of coffee and feeling hopeful. After all, they chose me after seeing my work product so that offers some validation and confidence. I love my mom so very much. We are meeting for dinner tonight to dish on the first day at my new gig. I can already feel a shift in our relationship because Im not hiding and isolating due to my addiction. I dont know how much longer I have with my parents so leaning in and spending more joyful times with them.

Wish me luck! Of course I’ll update you all when I get home :slight_smile:

Checking in on day 380. It’s the kiddos last week of school so that’s exciting. We had a long busy weekend of away games for my daughter’s travel softball team. She continues to improve and is so passionate about the growth and I love it. We have her championship game for her rec league tonight.

Hitting the gym right now, have my last week of statistics read ahead after, and gotta cut the back yard before the game later.

Have a great day everyone. It’s a great day to be above ground and sober.
