714 days of continuous sobriety

18 Likes

Wondering what lifeā€™s gonna be like forever without alcohol, how Iā€™m gonna cope with certain things is daunting as hell if you think to much about it. Thatā€™s definitely what screwed up my sobriety previously. Thatā€™s why this time I really donā€™t care what day Iā€™m on, or when Iā€™ll hit milestones. Iā€™m just concentrating on just right now. Youā€™re doing great.

I ride a bicycle 25 miles a day with 50 pounds of gear and I joined a Krav Maga & fitness gym about a year ago. Helps keep me healthy and confident so that I feel great, inside and out. Like, you know, endorphins and dopamine and stuffā€¦

But what really works is 15 minutes of Christian meditation every morning (an app called Abide) and a conscious contact with God throughout each day.

171 days here :sparkles:
My friend has told me about some recruiting happening at her workplace. Itā€™s a government roleā€¦ Iā€™ve made a pretty big decision to take a stab at applying for the position. Itā€™s going to be super challenging, rewarding and has tonnes of opportunity for growth and career progression. Itā€™s a pretty massive jump in a whole new sector for me, but something I feel I am capable of. Itā€™s super exciting and daunting, Iā€™d have to travel into the city for it and it would be a decent pay jump. I can feel an exciting shift happening for meā€¦ I really hope I get to pursue this new chapter. Fingers crossed for me guys! I would have never have been able to apply for this kind of work if Iā€™d stayed working around booze, and drinking all the time.
Ohā€¦ and I got my first grey hair yesterday :sweat_smile:

Hi all, checking in on day 463. Back home from a work trip. I love to travel, but it can be so tiring. Happy to be back home having a quiet morning coffee. Wishing you all a great weekend.

Day 827 clean and sober. I normally work 6am-3pm during the week and had been working 9:00am-6:00pm on the weekends but my boss is allowing me to start coming in and working 6-3 on the weekends now which is a huge win for me here at work. Iā€™m excited to be off earlier even if it is just a few hours. Now Iā€™ll have more time to go outside and play on the trails after work :blush: Being in nature has become one of the greatest tools for me. Itā€™s the only place that I can get balanced mentally, spiritually and physically all at the same time, I love it so much. I hope everyone has a beautiful day today, love you guys very much!!! :sunglasses::metal:t2:
