Checking in daily to maintain focus #43

2 years clean and sober today!!! What the actual fuck!?!?! I’m tripping out right now as it’s been sooooo challenging at times to stay alive let alone sober but I’ve made it through so far. Thank you everyone for all of the love and support I get here, I really couldn’t have done it without you all. To the newer people here, please keep checking in with us! I joined this forum at about 30 days and they have helped me through some horrific things. Have an amazing day everyone, I love you guys!!! :sunglasses::metal:t2::partying_face::confetti_ball::tada::heart:

Really hoping to reinvigorate my sobriety. Having tons of stress and with them maladjusted compulsions so I’m making it a point to increase my sober/sobriety influence. It’s hard cause I tend to lone wolf it a lot, but in this situation any walls I’ve built can’t matter. Only thing that matters is sobriety.

I hope you all have a nice, sober day

I don’t know about any of your history of any of the issues you spoke of so will not speak on those except to say I feel you. However the one I quoted, perhaps a little bit of both? Try journaling about your procrastination and maybe it will become clearer to you what is going on. My thoughts get sidetracked and muddled when I try to think things through but writing forces me to reach clarity. I hope your day gets better.

Two years of being a walking and talking miracle!! WTG! That is an awesome milestone. The one year one for me was like how the hell did I manage that but year two was the one that really restored the faith in myself. I’m proud of you :heart::heart::heart:

:high_brightness: Morning Check In :high_brightness:
Day 119
I can’t believe I got my butt out of bed this morning for the gym! And I feel so grateful to be able to exercise and to be able to do something healthy for my body. Other than staying clean and sober, my goal today is to stick to my eating plan and intermittent fasting (they say there is alot of benefits to it but we will see how it effects me. If its going to increase my binge eating then I won’t do it). I’m grateful that I don’t need drugs in my system to workout or that im only working out to sweat them out lol and that my view on exercise seems to have changed a bit. Today will be a good day with my HP. Absolutely grateful for u all also! You all really feel like a family to me :slight_smile: thank u for the ongoing support! Will come back to read more with my coffee once I get out of the gym :slight_smile:
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!

Hello fam. Thought I’d do a quick check in since I haven’t done any meetings the past 3 days. It’s day 16 for me and the easiest yet still slow time I have ever accumulated in actual sobriety. I’m taking work off today with fatigue in my body still but I’m clean and sober. I possibly may do a zoom meeting but may not because my roommate is a ease dropping, stalker status S.O.B. but I’m moving soon so this place will soon be history thank God. I’m grateful that my desire to stay clean and sober for this morning is greater than my desire to get loaded. As long as I practice the principles of recovery in all my affairs I have nothing to fear Just For Today. Stay blessed in recovery fam :pray::blue_heart:

Checking in on day 8!

My first week went so incredibly well I almost feel guilty about it. :joy: Despite that, I am starting to feel the initial body fatigue and insomnia that I felt during my dry Feb. The difference this time is that I’m more prepared!

Still I can’t help but feel a little anxious that even though I have tools to use in terms of my insomnia I’m worried they won’t work! I barely slept at all the entire month of February and I know it was related to my not drinking.

Anyways on the docket today I’m going to go for a bike ride before it gets too warm, then I’m spending the day trying to ready my spare bedroom for my mother who will be living with me for a while.

I hope everyone has a pleasant day and is able to find one thing that makes them smile :sun_with_face:
