Checking in daily to maintain focus #43

Have you thought about taking up a new hobby? One that will rebuild that confidence and sense of strength you feel is fading. I understand completely wanting to feel safe and I’m thinking these are outside of your addiction. I’m going to link to one idea. There are many out there that help with mental and physical safety issues.

Day 195

Been missing a few days, nothing wrong as such just not having great luck. Things going wrong that could have gone right but hey, we make our own luck in this world I suppose.

Hopefully things will turn around for the better.

Main thing is drink has no place in my life anymore and I’m not going to let it be my coping tool!

Hope everyone has a strong, healthy and sober 24 hours!

Thanks so much! It’s been a long journey to getting here where I can enjoy something that’s not for someone else and isn’t related to the outside factors of responsibility, if that makes sense. In a smaller sense I’m just happy being able to create sounds and read the music right now, and just learning more

Good afternoon all. Checking in on day 295. Not much sleep last night. Was speaking with a fellow in recovery and also a combat vet. We both suffer from not being able to sleep at night and we may have figured out why which is a good step. All about our mindset and just have to change our mindset ms towards the dark. So lack of sleep but possibly a breakthrough in why the sleep schedule has been insane the last 6 months. Speaking to my therapist Monday and maybe figure something out! Hope everyone is staying safe and take care!

Checking in. Sober as…! :wink:

But my mood is so angry and crancky. Im sooo tired, not normal tired but, I dont know how to explaine in english. All out… Everything around me annoy me, like I want and need everything in my house to be tidy and clean ( im not a perfectionist, I mean normal clean and tidy where you clean your dish when finish, put your shoes where they belong, your clothes in the hamper, go out with the f***** trash when its full and so on), because clutter and mess make me anxeous and stressed. No one seem to get it, and I do it all. Is it Just me like this? Maybe its me there’s something wrong with :see_no_evil:

That’s it Rob. It’s a tough job we’re in friend. We can only help people help themselves. And not everybody will make it. We have to keep taking care of ourselves first, just as we learned in our own recoveries. Or we won’t help no one at all. Take care man. Hugs.
