Isn’t it amazing how our addict can do that without us even realizing it. It’s great you noticed before too long and are willing to readjust the behavior. Really good stuff.
Congrats on your AF days.

That sounds like so much heaviness. I can remember being in a situation where I wasn’t happy not too long ago. It was soul crushing and it was overwhelming because I thought I would never be free. I saw no way out because I was looking too far in the future. When I looked at what I could do each day to make even the smallest move towards freedom from that situation it wasn’t as overwhelming. You can do that too, you can look at your situation one day at a time just like you do sobriety. What can to do today that can help you tomorrow?

I hope that you are safe.

Checking in on day 4 again. My boyfriend came, could not tell him. What should I say? I remember one time he told me that 1 bottle for both of us should be enough for 1 evening. It has been ashaming for me, because he is a very kind and friendly guy who never discusse or had any fight with me. Don’t missunderstand, he is very tough at sport and in his job. But all what concerns me, he is caring and friendly and full of love. That’s one of my big reasons to come on the track. No clue what to say. I really don’t want to make him sad.

Had coffee at home, now on my way to work. Sleep was ok. Bought a radio alarm thing so I can leave my phone outside my bedroom. After one night I think it helps.

Have as good a day as you all can friends. Make it clean and sober or nothing will come of it. Love from the :steam_locomotive::railway_car::railway_car::railway_car:

Hello @Cjp,

There are a lot of online meetings, which are a good to find a sponsor. If you like, I can try and ask for the Zoom data?

If you want to read s.th. about the agnostic side of AA: Prayers and Meditation and One Big Tent are both books from AA Grapevine about agnostic aspects.

Day 70
Hard parts of today but pretty good overall.
Spending a couple hours tonight dedicated to piano practice and pretty close to the end of the first book.
I decided on recording my practices for purposes of reviewing in a few months or so of solid practice.

The dedication of this is my first time in years focusing on an interest of mine that’s not working out, something I’ve struggled with. Enjoying a hobby and investing practice in a real project or skill that’s not work, parenting, fitness or relationship related. It’s just for me.

It gives me renewed interest in a prospective business course I’ve been working on that I’d recently started getting burnt out on.

I’m respecting the process of releasing myself from ā€œthe grindā€ for a short while every day or so, and realizing the amount of effort I invested in never understanding taking time for myself without guilt. It makes me ready for retrying responsibilities, feeling relieved.
