Checking in daily to maintain focus #49

Checking in on day 45. Tuesday. Just another workday. My shift starts at 2 pm so I have the whole morning relax. No real ‘to do’ list besides changing my bedsheets so I spend some time playing guitar and exploring and learning about my new amp/effects modler I bought. Really happy with that new toy to play around with.
And it keeps my mind of drinking. Win win!

Have a great day sober family!

I think it takes time to find out what we need. Listen to our bodies. We have neglected our needs for so long and often they collide with what we expect us to be, what we have to perform and how.

But I don’t want to nerve you.

Don’t give up!! You’ll find something better I promise. Maybe your resume needs some tweaking or practice your interviewing skills. Don’t let this bring you down. One door or a few close for that greater one to open. Be patient my friend! Much love! Hope today is a better day.

Thanks :smile:
My resume could use a few extra lies :sweat_smile:
I applied to a bunch last night at work, hopefully I’ll get a response from one of them.

That’s awesome news!! Our health getting better is just one more perk to getting and staying sober!

You’re kicking ass!

Buying me some Tylenol today. I would normally drink to get rid of my headaches so I really don’t want to go that route!

Thank you!!

Day 144 AF

I finally hit the “go” button and applied for college. I got everything completed and turned in except for one immunization that I have to get. I called the admissions office to double-check that I had completed everything, only to find out there’s a hold on my account. Apparently when I tried going several years ago, I owe some money for the semester that I ended up dropping. After I had my panicked, drama queen moment (lol because that’s just who I am), I talked myself through it and chalked it up as a small speed bump. I think I’ll be able to pay that off and hopefully be able to start in January. Feels so crazy deciding to start a long college journey at almost 49 years old! But I do feel like this is exactly what my next step is supposed to be.
