Checking in daily to maintain focus #44

173
So I managed to peel myself out of bed today! Looking disheveled haha and went fishing :fishing_pole_and_fish: wasnā€™t happy about it butā€¦ I caught a fish and the fresh air was nice. Hereā€™s another day in the book of figuring out life AF. Iā€™m full of gratitude and humility that my higher power continues to give me days to work through

Youā€™ve been a solid inspiration for me on here. I appreciate it. I was so impressed with all the days you had when I first started. I never thought this was possible. ODAAT. :hugs:

Checking in at the end of day 374. Took the kids swimming today and went out for lunch. It was a strangely peaceful day. Crawling into bed with a slight headache, but sober and happy. Talked a bit with my little sister today who is also sober from alcohol (for similar reasonsā€¦ runs in the family, go figure), and it was a really nice conversation. Iā€™m so proud of her. Wishing everyone a peaceful day / night.

Congratulations @Dazercat on the nine hundo!

Congratulations @HillbillyChris on 10 months!

Congratulations everyone on another day.

About to call it an evening. Unfortunately, Iā€™m nowhere close to tired. Saw my med doc today. Didnā€™t change meds at all but he wants to do sleep testing as I might have apnea. Thatā€™s all I need now. :roll_eyes: And my phone is acting up; it resets itself repeatedly unless itā€™s on the charger.
Still, Iā€™m grateful that I still have a future in spite of my efforts to the contrary. Tomorrow is another day. Peace out, TS fam!

Thanks pinky! Yea Iā€™m relieved that itā€™s over. Everyone there knew how much of a drinker I was so they were all very supportive. I have a 4 year old which was a good way to get out when it got late and everyone was getting shit faced. Good idea to drive so you have an escape plan if you start getting overwhelmed. Good luck to you. And thank you!

Day 679
Decent day at work, and tomorrow is a day off, so canā€™t complain. Definitely going to hit a different meeting tomorrow and blow some sobriety cobwebs away.

Coffee. Not going to work today. Still not well enough. All this being at home alone isnā€™t the best for my state of mind. But Iā€™ll make it. Iā€™m sober and clean. Just thinking about my past makes me shiver. Canā€™t imagine how bad Iā€™d be would I still be drinking and smoking. Trying to drown my misery in rivers of alcohol and clouds of smoke.

Never again. Life isnā€™t always fun when sober and clean but it is endlessly better than the alternative. Because I can work on myself and my life now. Even when Iā€™m home alone. One day at a time. Have a good one all. Or at least as good as you all can. Make it clean and sober or nothing will come of it. Iā€™m going to read me some today. Love.

Nearly cracked yesterday after having a very sad conversation with my ex. Then I started crying. I cried and cried and cried and then something amazing happened. I started to feel calm and a bit numb. And I remembered this is actually natureā€™s way of calming us down! I hadnā€™t felt like this for years as I guess as soon as I hit teenage years I found a quicker way to numb, alcohol, and we all know where that leads to. Then I went to sleep. I am really grateful for this experience as it reminded me feelings do pass and healing can happen and its not necessary to numb them away with substances (tempting as it might be) feels like an easier option, is actually hell on earth as we all know. Have a good day everyone :slight_smile:
