Checking in daily to maintain focus #46

133 days :sparkles:
Changing my routine up a little bit to help me keep consistent with exercise. It’s helping. And exercise is such a major part of my self care and mental health management.
I felt amazing after this morning, I’m super grateful for that.
I cut a tie with an old friend last night/today. We had a toxic relationship, fed into each other’s bad addictive behaviours in the past. And over the years I tried to express my behaviour changing and sobriety and not try to force them to change. To remain friends. But yesterday I said goodbye, and that I couldn’t be friends with them anymore.
I don’t think I’ve ever made a choice to end a friendship to protect myself before. I’ve done it with some family though.
I’m getting older, more confident in my choices. More protective of myself.
Have a great day everyone :heart:

Hi Mike, I adore the honesty with which you check in. You are feeling uplifited - and very sad. This emotional acuteness is going to be one of your strongest assets in recovery my friend!!

Can you facetime or zoom with the kiddos after school orientation? You’re such a dedicated father. I don’t think my dad would have known much about my school … The girls are lucky to have you. I’m sure they feel how much you love them and that is by far the most important thing.

That would actually be fun to see! In the 80’s my mum cut me this haircut (she used to be a hairdresser) with short hair in the front, and long in the back. I mean; how could you??? :flushed::tired_face::see_no_evil:

#Day 1421 :seedling:
Our shop won a prize yesterday :sunglasses: So today a big chief is visiting me and my coworker to give a nice amound of money :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
We have to share it between 4 collegues in total so I guess it’s 60 euros each.
I’m not going to be a millionair, but I like it anyway :sunglasses:


Enjoy your day the best way you can TS people.
I will do so too :raising_hand_woman:

Coffee. My weekend! Physically tired after five busy days at work, and riding home around midnight last night into a headwind. My commute into work was nice yesterday as I did a detour and made it a touristic trip into the town I work now.

I’m glad to remember this morning my Thursday course in experiential expertise is on a break so I truly have two days off now. So no homework to do :sunglasses: and not planning on doing too much. We’re heading into another week of hot dry weather here so no long rides. I’m tired anyway.

One thing I’m absolutely sure of is I won’t be drinking or drugging. I’m sober and clean and that’s the only way I want to be. It’s why I’m here. It’s why we’re all here and it’s the only way to a better healthier happier life for all of us. One day at a time. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Love from Utrecht.

Day 729

Forced myself to do some stuff for the kids that I didn’t really feel like doing, but know when the kids are older I will look back on these times fondly.
A few things about my husband are really driving me nuts and weighing me down.
Drinking is just not an option these days tho, and I am always glad of that.

Day 19 wuhu :upside_down_face:

I just want to say thank you again for your support during my hard times yesterday!
It was reaaaaaly helpful :heart:

Did my swim workout and had some healthy meal and drinks.

I wrote with “my toxic guy” again until late night. I know that was toxic again, but it degenerated into discussions.
No problems from his side… Clearly.
After waking up with physical symptoms of this toxic relationship, I wrote him a text now that I’m going away again, won’t come back and wish him all the best. I blocked ALL channels. He does not know where I live…
We were always in his apartment.
Thank God :pray:

Will do some healing mediation and concentrate on recovering!!! Your comments on that “guy topic” were very helpful. :cherry_blossom::white_flower::cherry_blossom:

Just cooking a nice meal now and have a little Siesta Nap afterwards.

Take care :v:t2::revolving_hearts::hibiscus::cherry_blossom:
