Checking in daily to maintain focus #44

I’ll be honest. It did a little. It was just gross. I have to do things overtired sometimes and that was probably partly my downfall.

But l’m sure I’ll sew again. I don’t have your talent though! The compliment was for real! :boom:

Hey guys. Checking in day 27. Yesterday I was just about to checkin, was already on the app, went doing something and in the end forgot. Sorry.

This week had been full of urges but I am also learning about my patterns and why I usually use prn.

@Butterflymoonwoman Hey. Thanks for the encourgement. Yesterday, I was gonna relapsed. I went through my emails and found your reply, which inspire me to stay on track. So thanks.

Being in a community is very helpful and powerful tool to leave a bad habit behind. So thank you guys for being here.

Have a great day. Peace.

Day 145 AF
Day 11 PMO

Got so much done at work today. Had a talk with my boss about a salary raise only two months after working there. I was nervous not wanting to sound too ambitious but then he told me he was already thinking about it aswell, so that conversation probably couldn’t have gone better. Now I’m going to the gym and after go on a 3 mile run.
Have a good sober day everyone😄

I am SO grateful that you didn’t relapse. You deserve a happy life without being chained to addiction. We all do! But I’m so glad that what I said helped u. I often have gone back myself to various posts and re-read them. Sometimes we just need that little reminder or a positive, uplifting message to get us thru. Today is a new day! And I hope it will be a fantastic one for u! :blush:

Oooh, I am so envious! 50 acres all to yourself? I wouldn’t be back for several months! And you might find fossils! You are so lucky. Of course, being away from electronics is nourishing by itself. It’s an addiction too.

Great idea! A good bath or a hot shower always worked for my early cravings. And I did a lot of apologizing. I’d apologize to my wife for being angry and snappy at her and 30 minutes later I’d be apologizing again. It will get better. ODAAT.

Day 34 - An early check in for me today as I am over with my kids again (which is always a treat).

I think I have hit the calm after the storm that was the last three days. It’s been busy in a good way and I have had good feedback from work about what I am doing. It feels good to be doing well at a job I enjoy.

Things are also becoming more amicable with my ex as well which is good especially for the kids.

All in all it feels like a positive end to a busy few days. I genuinely didn’t think I would ever feel this rested, clear of thought and calm again. Even if it is for today or just this moment I’m going to cherish it as I feel like I have had brain fog for so long now.

Things do get better, never perfect, but better, one day at a time. I wish you all the very best day.

Day 694
Realized I haven’t done a proper check in for a week now. Upcoming milestones making my brain weird / imposter syndrome type feels. All the heat advisory days have been making me feel cranky and terrible on top of that. General life stuff is kind of a mess. Cold showers, sobriety, and my garden are the foundations holding me together right now.

Day 13 drawing to a close. Had a productive day. Cleaned my bathroom for the first time in 2 months :joy: I had a metal rod put in my leg 3 months ago so haven’t been able to do much. So happy to be getting back on top of things. Sorted out my wardrobes and drawers. Got two big bags to get to a charity shop. My daughter came for lunch :heart::heart: Feeling very happy and motivated today. Going in to work tomorrow to see everybody and see what my capabilities are. Really looking forward to it and feeling like I can get back to work very soon.
Keep going everyone :blush:
