Excited about “what kind of present I will make to myself for day 60”
Either it will be something for bodycare like for 30 days or something very special to eat (good quality Sushi, a bowl, Thai, Vietnamese)! Hmmm!
I’m a little dizzy today, had a walk and will do a little nap now! Maybe it’s because of changing weather. This evening I have group therapy meeting and I will ride by bike there. Will have to deal with my anxiety of driving back in the dark, but that’s fine.
Still in discussion with the friend, I want to quit with… Don’t know, it’s really not easy. I feel better without him…
But he is very disappointed.
Work was very productive, like the tasks atm, having home office today. it’s very helpful for me to stay calm and polite no matter in which mood the other persons are.
Sending love, peace and ease
Take care and stay sober
Day 19 and this move will never end I mean I knew downsizing was going to be a task and we gave ourselves a month to sort all out stuff and sell most of it but sheesh. I want to be done and there’s still so much to do . I’ve thought repeatedly about how a drink would make this “more fun” but it’s moving. It’s not supposed to be fun and my husband and I have done such a good job of communicating and working through issues with no arguments and I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that there’s no alcohol involved.
Morning Check in Day 211
Morning TS fam! Woke up at 530 for my cardio and ab workout. Struggle a bit with it but im doing my best. Today is going to be an effin fantastic day! Not sure why… but it will be feeling positive and upbeat this morning! Today consists of a pediatrician appt for my boy and then a haircut for him. Then I will clean the appt and plan supper. Basic but beautlful things! Plus I get to spend the day with my son, which I love, since hes not in school
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!
Day 823 clean and sober. Had a really fun time yesterday hiking in the rain lol. It was just a light rain and it was super awesome! Met with my tax guy yesterday and all my taxes are done from the last 4 years of my using and I will be filing them today at the main office and it feels good. Had an all staff meeting yesterday and one of the big bosses gave me a shout out in front of everyone in regards to how well I’m doing with my new responsibilities and that felt awesome as well. I hope everyone has a fantastic day today I am soooooo proud of you all and I love you dearly!!!
Edit: I just realized 823 days = 27 months so hell yeah!!!
Good morning everyone day 20 of 100% sobriety. It is also day 2.5 nicotine free. I quit smoking over a year ago transition to vaping and tried to Ween myself down, ultimately it’s probably just best for me to stop so I quit. I didn’t want to quit 20 days ago because trying to do that in the past year or so has actually led me to take steps backwards in recovery but I feel like this is about the right time.
It’s a great lesson in humility as my wife worked all weekend and is now sick, my kids have their lives of Chaos that needs to be managed and I have quit nicotine so many times I don’t think anyone really gives a fuck about what peeves me off LOL. They say the best thing to do to the devil is laugh at him cuz he hates that so I’ve been laughing at myself when I get upset. when I get mad. when I make mountains out of molehills, I’ve been laughing at myself. The reality is “it’s not all about me” and while I inately disagree with that statement (lol) I’m going to try to continue as though it’s true and see what happens.
Checking in, keeping it sober. Cant belive I will hit 9 months in a few weeks. I never tougth I could keep sober, so unbelivebel. My birthday is coming up soon, and I hope no one gives my wine( normaly this is what I wanted), nevers said to anyone I have a problem, only that I prefer to not drink because of my anxiety.
Wow!!! Huge congratulations on 27 months Rob!!! Thars incredible work! Also great job facing that fear on the taxes. I bet thats a huge weight off ur shoulders. Have an awesome day
Woof. I bet the tax thing was intimidating. Good job you for tackling it. I bet it feels GREAT now that you don’t have to think about it anymore though!!
I wanted to catch up on this thread and read everybody’s posts but I just can’t focus because I’m feeling so sad. I tried to have a real heart to heart talk with my husband last night about a few things and I was being extremely conscious of not coming across as being accusatory in any way. I was just talking about how both of us can pause and think before we speak especially with regards to our daughter and take note of how our responses affect her anxiety… Anyway he wasn’t open to listening I guess and instead ended up throwing back at me things about myself that he knows I already don’t like, like the fact that I asked for more reassurance than I should and I’m very indecisive. The way he said it hurt my feelings so much and I just thought it was so insensitive considering the context of the start of the conversation. Honestly I just feel like I’m trying so hard to work on myself and his excuses is always “well that’s just the way I am, or that’s just how I talk”. It leaves me feeling lonely and hurt.
