Checking in daily to maintain focus #47

Way to go on reporting that woman. Its not her responsibility to discipline a child like that. Keep reporting her or if things get worse, report her to someone above the woman u spoke to. Im glad ur liking ur job tho. Honestly, from what i do know about u and the amazing person u are, i truly do think ur a perfect fit for this job. U have such compassion and understanding and empathy for others. Sounds like a lot of responsibility for u now tho. Im always proud of you more n more each day, when i see ur days increase :slight_smile:

Day 332 AF

Whatā€™s good, fam.

Another busy work day. Just got back from a long walk. Gonna try excersising some more before crashing out. Read some pages from the AA book. Almost 11 months sober in a few days. Timeā€™s flyin. Gotta keep doing what Iā€™m doing, and I think Iā€™ll be okay.

Thank you all for being here. Goodnight and take care!

2099 days. I havenā€™t checked in here on this thread for a while. My son had a foot surgery last week and I was also rear-ended in my car by a hit-and-run driver, so it was a crummy week. I am having trouble snapping out of it this week and being productive enough. I am going to a meeting with my sponsor tomorrow which should help, and have reached out by text to a couple of AA friends. I might have to just live with less productivity until I feel better.

Hi fam,
Checking in on day 209 AF. Rough night at work full of frustrations that required some emotional regulation skills. I find that it gets easier to deal with frustration and anger the farther behind I put the booze.

Iā€™m tired. I have a big professional test coming up and gathering all the piddly requirements for certification is tiring. Re-submitting is even more tiring. Iā€™m not good at setting aside time for hard things, like studying for this monster test, so Iā€™m feeling a little pressure. In this instance pressure is good. It tells me what I need to do.

I know that if Iā€™m tired, frustrated, angry or procrastinating the absolute worst thing I could do is reach for a drink. Today may be hard, but Iā€™m doing it sober. Goodnight sober peeps. Keep at it. Letā€™s put in the work and make it worth it. :heart:

Coffee on the train. How time flies. Workday today. Iā€™m good. Iā€™m bloody busy but this way of life beats my old addicted lifestyle any minute of any day. Stuff to do, places to go, people to meet, life to discover. One day at a time.

Have as good a day as you all can friends. Make it sober and clean or nothing will come of it. Love from my commute.

Youā€™re right, the worst thing you could do is reach for a drink so Iā€™m glad that you reached out here.
Youā€™ll get through thisā™„ļø

I can tell Iā€™m moving in the right direction because now I think that adding a hangover or an impaired evening sounds truly awful on top of life stressors.
Iā€™m learning to rest when Iā€™m tired, not quit. Thanks for reaching out! :blush:

#Day 1456 :seedling:
Last day before getting my nose pierced! :crazy_face:
In some things Iā€™m like an infant (and I like it that way). If I look forward to something I count the days (ore better nights of sleep) before the activaty. I also ramble about it every day :sunglasses:
So everybody around me know about my piercing appointment, time, with piercing, etc.
And I keep bother them with pointing at my noise telling them itā€™s just the last couple of days to see it ā€œnakedā€ :see_no_evil:
Thatā€™s me!
Glad I let that part of me be there and I even cherish that. I am super serious most of the time so I need that part of me as well. Not everyone likes it, but I do and thatā€™s what counts!

I havenā€™t told you the exact time havenā€™t I? :sweat_smile:
Tomorrow at 13.00 :tada:
1 night of sleep to go.
Today? Work and tonight seeing all of my kids. They come home to have dinner and chill with their mom and dad :heavy_heart_exclamation: So happy that they like to make time for us. Proud of the people they become. Having a study, jobs and a place to live.
Gratefull :pray:
