@CateCoffey Welcome to the community
6 days is amazing !! The weekends for me involve small little things in the evenings to look forward this helps me get through, take it one day at a time.
Itās actually been long long time since I reached one week of non drinking. Usually it was about 3-4 days at most.
Itās been few months now, that I am back at my first Gym. It is very very special place. One of first and leading bodybuilding club in my country and all around at that time. My father and his brother trained here. Father was competitive bodybuilder. To my surprise the club is near my house, at my district. Since very young age I always walked around that club and was peeking through that basement windows. I was fascinated with this sport. There is something special about this place! Itās definitely has itās own aura and energy. That raw and fundamental spirit of human strength. Pure and not broken as todays lustful, shallow and egocentric cult of the body is. For me this always been about that inner strength; that human spirit and raw energy. I love it. I am happy I am able to do this. When I was drinking I skipped a lot of training. Time to get back on track.
For 50 years, the club has been working non-stop in the same premises. The men cleaned out the cellar, brought the tools and started working. Finally, the authorities became interested in what was happening here, so in 1969 club āOlimpasā was registered. Soon Olimpas became one of the leading clubs in the entire Soviet Union. So many people played sports at Olymp that even now they come from the USA, from Israel, from other countries and remember us. And everyoneās advice is the same: just donāt change anything in the club - leave everything authentic. It was a cult club. More precisely, itās not even a club, but a social phenomenon," says R. Kairaitis.
Checking in Day 243
My day didnt start out great lol I had a rough sleep due to have using dreams (didnt use in it but i was around my DOC). I woke up rushing to get to my alarm, smashing my elbow on the dresser and then tripping on something that was on the floor, almost falling into the wall lmao. All happened in about 15 sec Anywayā¦ my day improved coming on here and reading so many more uplifting comments about my milestone. I went out with my boy to get some groceries. Had some nice interactions with others today. Then i got an email from Icing Smiles (an organization that pairs medical families to volunteer cake bakers so that the baker can provide a special birthday cake for the child who has s severe medical condition). I have been an Icing Smiles baker for about 3 or 4 years now. When my son was diagnosed, I understood the financial strain that can come with ALL the expenses of caring for a child with severe medical conditions. I wanted to use the gifts that God gave me, to give back. So when theres a child in my area that is having a birthday and needing something special, I bake a beautiful cake for them! I decided to bake a cake for a little girl who oddly enough, shares the same bday as myself. Very cool! Im super excitwed. They give me the color scheme and theme and i basically go to town lol Anyway, my day has improved. Im grateful for my recovery and will make sure to do recovery related things todayz along with some cleaning.
Hope everyone is having an addiction free day!
Late check inā¦
Itās weekend! Yippie Yeah!
I am tired but happy.
New yoga class yesterday was super nice but also challenging.
I even have sore musclesā¦
Just coming from a swim workoutā¦
I was faster then all the guys on the lane todayā¦ (had a swimming break of 4 days, maybe that was a good resetā¦!)
I felt like a swim star
(ok maybe the guys were no proās )
Going on with swimming tomorrow at noon with my new training partner / friend so on.
It will be fun thatās sure
Excited to meet him again!
Will do another yoga sequence tomorrow in the morning and short cleaning upā¦
Swimming and chilling!
Congrats on your 28 months clean and sober . That is a lot of ODAATās. Iām glad you did the math, because my math is shit.. Hope you had a great day.
Oh hip pain is no fun. I just had an MRI done and they have found I have a small labral tear. I donāt think thereās much they can do for that but Iām waiting for a call from a specialist. Super frustrating. I hope you get some relief soon too.
Good evening, fam!
Day 6Ā½ Just finished 3rd day. Saturdays are voluntary for new people, so I donāt know if Iāll go in tomorrow. Need the money but also need the rest. Canāt figure out why I feel down when I get home. Not bad enough to drink, but I really should be enjoying myself now. Even my favorite YouTube channels are getting on my nerves. Anyway, Iām going to eat some ice cream and take a shower see if that helps.
Congrats to @Rockstar24777 for 28 months, and @Imcrafty for 50 days!
First time on the daily thread. This has been a rough week - started on a porn binge and Iāve been so upset at myself and needlessly feeling shame about this that Iāve had some of my first cravings for substances in years. Kind of a shock to my sober mind, thinking Iām better than that. Iām going to try sleeping early tonight and hitting reset for tomorrow. Did some planning with my therapist and this was one of the better plans so here we go, wish me luck
