What are you reading? Do you know about the reading thread?
Did you buy an extra bicycle for this? Normally I get mad when the running bicycle season starts, because there are many dangerous situations every time.
Day 5 early morning. I had weird disturbing dreams all night so not feeling very rested. I still have a headache but it isnāt quite as bad. I really need to have a productive day at work today but also know I need to go easy on myself and not push too hard. Iām trying to focus on self care as I deal with withdrawals. Iām looking forward to my appt tomorrow with a new therapist/addiction counselor. A bit nervous about it too.
Thank you Matti! Yes I am better today. Itās a process.
Wow, that is a really cool hobby! Iām to inpatient to do it by myself, but I like to look at such things.
Day 1512
Every time when I read ore hear about someone who died because of their addiction it makes me sad. But It also makes me gratefull to have been able to push that reset button myself. I know Iām not cured ore fixed, I will never be.
But I will be in recovery, learning and growing every day. As you do!
Rest in peace Aaron Carter
Iām still reading āThis naked mindā.
I didnāt know we have a reading thread
I have 4 different bicycles. For every type of activity a bike you can never have enough bikes.
Hey all, checking in on day 877. I hope everybody has a good one!
Good day all,
Plan for the day is to stay open minded for the many learning possibilities.
My perspective can influence my day greatly, I can always change my perspective.
PEACE
Day 879 clean and sober. Counting down the days till I leave for a much needed escape. I leave Thursday for a 4 day camping trip and I think it will really help balance me out. My energy has been so heavy and yucky lately and itās been exhausting doing things like going to work etc. In my experience on my path the moon has a lot to play in the way my energy feels at times. Blood moon/Lunar eclipse here in the states today and Iām hoping that the energy will start to dissipate as the moon begins to waneā¦ anyway, things have been a shit show inside my mind and body lately but I have been doing all of the necessary self care things that Iāve learned to do at times like these. Sometimes it just is what it is and I wait for it to pass as it always does. I hope everyone has a beautiful day today and Iām so proud of you all, love you guys!!!
Checking in day 65. Been pretty tired lately (also I think the time change is affecting that) so really hoping rest a good bit today. Iām going to vote, go to the gym, and I have one client for work. Otherwise, goal is to recharge.
Have a great day all!
May I ask what medication do you take for your addiction?
It surprises me, that a lot of people get medicine for their addiction and nobody (psychiatrists etc.) has ever ask me if I needed some. Probably they think I donāt need them.
Itās nice to read, that yor friends recognise your change!
The dreamcatcher looks really nice. The leather band is a good idea!
Yes sir, 50 sober days!
Day 130 AF
I am really trying to stay positive. My finances are a wreck! I have cut every corner I know to cut. And now Christmas is here I LOVE the holidays, and I know my family completely understands that I canāt spend like I normally do. But this is depressing. I havenāt lived day-to-day financially in a long time. Iāve applied to a few PT jobs on Indeed but nothing has come of it yet. I am finding myself really kicking myself in the ass for almost completely destroying the career I worked so hard to build. Redirecting my thoughts is getting more difficult by the day. I am almost 49 years old and should have my shit together by now. Not only is this depressing, itās humiliating and embarrassing.
Just needed to vent for a minute. Iām not going to drink today.
Hang in there! It will get better. 10 days was when I started to feel better.
Welcome to the double digits!
Thanks for nice picture Menno! I hope you enjoy your holidays!
