Welp, I screwed up. Frustrating cause I thought I’d be fine today but it seems like that is not the case. This seems to be a pervasive theme in my life, I try for a while and just when I think I’m going to succeed I relax then screw up in some fashion.
It’s frustrating that I’m seemingly unable to relax without failing in some measure. Why can’t I just coast for a little bit with this or even just with other parts of my life. Relaxing is constantly accompanied by failure.
Maybe I’m in the wrong here about coasting and not putting in tons of effort every day and I’m just sounding like a child but honestly it’s very frustrating. 5 days good and solid then the sixth comes around and I fail. Again.
I’m so tired of this crap

Maybe this will put it into perspective a bit for you, maybe not. I am 1011 days clean today and I put more into my program of recovery today then I did at 5 days. We dont put less, we put more. Its a progressive disease.

Good morning from Europe,
I would like to share with you my thirty days of sobriety. I do not think in beating a record but I am going to achieve twenty four hours more. Day by day.
I encourage you to continue in the path of sobriety, happiness and freedom!
Regards.

Boots jeans gloves and a knife/razor and a good attitude is all you need. Gardening and landscaping can be physically demanding but also very therapeutic. Good luck to you!

@Bear21 When you are truly sick and tired of being sick and tired, then the pain of change will be less than the pain of staying the same. 
@EFountains Great job!

Coffee at the train station on my way to my therapist for my first EMDR session ever. Slightly apprehensive about it but will see. I’m sober and clean. Which is the first condition for a better life for us all. Or we wouldn’t be here. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Love from Duivendrecht train station.

There are worse things in life Claudia 
Picture from my vase with “Herfststijlloos” (Colchium Autumnale) bulbs who are blooming.
Still no walks for me so I made an appointment with a osteopath. Hope she can help out.
Today? A training at work and then having some time for myself.
Have a good day TS people!

Day 786 no booze Day 2 no binge eating
Have been restricting the aimless online scrolling too, do some purposeful checking, and then go on my flashcard app to study. Things with my son are still challenging, but grateful he remains warm and affectionate. Trying to give daughter some special time too, as son pulls so much attention.

It is indeed a good book, so it’s hard to stop reading. 
Are you working at an ophthalmologist?

Hello all. Lovely to read all the check-ins and good news and people still figuring the good fight here.
I’m nearly six month sober this Monday coming and it’s going well, I’m not so much focusing on that anymore but have moved onto body and mind resilience. Started a small weight regime, reading literature, listening to podcasts. Growth is good.
Been doing stuff right. Love to you all

Checking in at 2 years , 7 months and 18 days! I am happy to be clean. I got a new sponsor last night. I hadn’t been to an NA meeting for 3 weeks and I was going insane. I slept over 7 hours one day and had an anxiety attack at the doctors office. I am so glad I got my ass to a meeting last night and that my HP got me the sponsor I wanted and needed! I am happy 
just for today I will stay clean no matter what. I will put my recovery first. I will do whatever I need to do for my recovery
