Day 35
Hi all, I need to get better at these daily check ins! :wink:
Had a strange few days, returned to work after a long sickness absence whilst I got my head straight. Sleep has been a bit disrupted with some crazy viviv dreams but that may be in part due to my meds. Had a lovely headache for about 36 hours now :tired_face:. Other than that, all kinda good or at least OK lol.

One day and one night at a time. You stayed sober and sometimes that’s all we can do. You’re doing better than you think. Hugs.

Coffee. First late shift in my new job was pretty relaxed. Makes me realize how tough my previous job actually was. And how badly paid too. They need more people to work there but how are they are going to get 'm like this?

Never going back to that. Just like I’m never going back to drinking and drugging. Should have given up both earlier too but that’s in the past. Just for today I’ll be sober and clean. Like I expect from all of you here. It’s the only way to move forward for us. Love from my workplace where the sunsets are nice too.

Checking in- 70 days down :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
It’s bloody cold and miserable here. I can’t wait to swim again.
My exercise and eating hasn’t been awesome this last week, still trying not to freak out about it. Just trying to focus on being sober and not so mean to myself, so consumed by anxious thoughts.
Thanks for listening guys.

@Alycia 70 days is an amazing achievement. Really well done for getting there. Swimming is such a wonderful healing activity but I get it’s not top of the list when it’s freezing.

Being kind to yourself is the right move. Some days it’s ok not to be on top of your game. I always find that I am my own harshest critic so give yourself a chance to recover and rest. You’ve shown amazing fortitude getting this far. It’s ok to stop and take a look around once in a while and see how for you have come.

This is a beautiful parable for getting in ones head and make something up. I do and did this often and at the end it was nearly always the same outcome like you mentioned in your story.

Thanks for sharing and bringing me back to reality!
