Thank you :hugs:
For me it helps to take care of it and also write it in my little daily report sometimes.
We all have another focus…
I had a bit of eating disorders and in sobriety I am trying to heal that with not focusing on “good old weight loss trouble” but on regular eating to give my body regeneration,
eating healthy, but also whatever I feel like.
For me the focus on having a good fitness level and being strong to stay sober is higher then loosing weight atm! That’s a good process for now.
Glad that you like to read about it :innocent::star_struck:

Take care :v:t2:

Okay everyone this is nothing new anymore happens all the time right outside my front door but I was fast asleep since 8pm and my son just woke me to tell me someone has been arrested and is laying outside my house on the street, by armed police.
It always happens outside my house I’m sure the police have like a secret hub near mine :laughing:

Anyway I had 3 hours sleep and thats it so going to read a book now in the hope to get another 3 hours at least.
Just thought I’d share the shenanigans going on outside lol

Day 4 evening check in.
Just want to say a special thanks to @Butterflymoonwoman for always checking in morning and night, with your day numbered in bold… I’m totally copying you. Lol.
But really, it is helping me stay on track and especially tonight I was thinking about grabbing a drink and then I thought "I need (and want) to do my check in and be honest about my day tomorrow so I’m making a tea instead :heart:

Oh Miranda a mo th back there were armed police in all the gardens as I was calmly bringing in the washing off the line, before that a man with a gun waving it outside. I literally live on a lovely road but it’s right on the border of every town.
We are all ok.
I set up security cameras s the front and back so I can see what’s happening. So it was rather reassuring to just look on the camera and then not bother about it just stay in.
Thank you for asking.
Your doing well on your 4 days, proud to see you here and see you on 4 days :hugs: we all know it isnt easy but I’m here for you.

That must be frightening. I would definitely have security cameras too, I’m glad you have them!! Do glad you are ok.

It is frightening tbh. But I have to feel a bit at peace that the police are there and there are lots of them.
Thank you

Thanks for the mention! Awe plz do copy all u want! :smiley: It’s funny u said that about being honest with the clean and sober day. That was and still is one of my motivators to stay on track. In the beginning when I would constantly be relapsing… I’d put just “Checking in” with no number (bcuz I was so ashamed and embarassed about relapsing). People caught on haha so it has definitly be a proud moment morning/night to be able to say that I’m on such and such a day :slight_smile:
I’m really proud of you Miranda. U seem different coming back and just more motivated or something to continue on each day! It makes me really happy to see ur days add up too!

Day 161.

Happy birthday to me. I got myself a few presents including a nice shelf with plant gro lights and a tamale.

I finished the leftover pasta and made a mess of my room trying homemade chalk paint on this thing i found in my attic. I may paint a a design in a second color, before applying polycrylic top coat, but i dont know. Then i went and saw my friend and helped organize her kitchen cabinets. Exactly what i wanted to do today.

Tonight I am going to be accountable and continue the 15 minute tidy before bed. It feels good to do. Hopefully I can read, too. I have readers block and it sucks.

Thanks for being this space. I see people posting and am always rooting for your journeys to be healthier and more fun. Im glad to see new people as well as people coming back after relapses. I simply wouldnt be sober without this app.
Good mental health is hard to maintain and harder to build from toxic habits. Thank you all for being there to remind me its worth trying.

:heartpulse:

Happy birthday :dizzy::dizzy:
And congratulations on 161 days :grin:

I must say you have done an amazing job on that cabinet. Like really amazing.
Nice job :+1:

Yes the 15 minute clean, I always remember my nana saying I cant wake up to yesterdays mess today, and since being sober iv stuck to her saying.
So thoughtfull of you to help your friend too, my best friend who is my cousin is going on holiday on Monday and I’m going tomorrow to help her and her daughter pack, it feels good to be able to be reliable.
Have a great birthday.

:first_quarter_moon_with_face: Evening Check in :first_quarter_moon_with_face:
Day 180
3 hours until 6 whole months!!!
My day overall was okay. I think PAWS had left me for another 3 months lol. I feel so much better and more myself :slight_smile: I am so super excited for my 6 month chip to be available on here. I technically have 3 more hours to go (10pm). I can’t believe that I’m almost at 6 months. To be completely clean and sober for 6 whole months was something I only dreamed of back then. Something I wished when I saw others on here posting and getting time under their belts. I used to wonder why can’t I get this thing called recovery?! And surrendering everything in my life to a HP (who I call God), changed everything for me :slight_smile: I can’t wait until 10pm haha I am sooo blessed to be apart of this community. Everyone on here means so much to me!! Hugs!!
