Feeling very good
I had my first good night’s sleep which was lovey, my appetite is close to 100% again, and I tackled my to-do list for the first time this week! On top of THAT I did some strength training today I haven’t done that since it was a requirement when I was a sophomore in high school (over a decade ago). I was quite excited to start putting my weed money into savings, but I’m thinking about putting it towards a fitness program instead considering I know next to nothing about working out and have limited equipment. I’m very proud of myself
I have to admit I’m in my irritable phase, but luckily the contestants on my TV screen from Survivor season 38 are taking the brunt of it (fuck Ron and Eric, their smug asses).
Checking in on evening of day 26 sober, proud of myself went to a little get together with some friends tonight they were drinking and i drove had a good time stayed strong and sober didnt drink and now im home, usually at get togethers like that im absolutely hammered but it feels good to be home at a decent time just watching Smackdown before bed and knowing tomorrow will be another hangover free Saturday
That’s awesome to hear big congrats!! Did you feel tempted at all being around friends indulging or did being the DD help keep you away from the drink?
I was feeling really terrible earlier as I was dwelling on the past I think. Decided to be mindful and more present. I have a family get together tomorrow that I’m really looking forward to. Decided to bake a dessert for it this evening so I’m not rushing tomorrow. Took my sweet pup out for a nice stroll, did some paint by numbers and listened to music to help elevate my mood. Just winding down now watching White Lotus on HBO and have to say feeling much better than I was earlier. I feel like I’m in a constant battle with myself and my own thoughts and emotions but it is getting easier to tune them out and just do what I know I have to do instead of allowing myself to wallow in the them when I feel triggered.
Thank you!! Honestly i think i only craved a beer once for only a few seconds but other than that it was the weirdest thing i was fine i didnt want a drink at all im proud of my days i didnt want to lose my sobriety and i feel so much better not drinking so tonight i was surprised i really didnt crave it at all
@Miranda wow i am so proud to see you reach your 100 days!! Im so glad to see your name around again
@Butterflymoonwoman I have the biggest fuzzy feeling in my heart for you, huge Congratulations on your 300 days. You have worked so hard to get here
This has stuck with me, thank you. You have such a great way with words and i appreciate i get to read them i needed to hear this.
@Mno This therapy actually sounds very interesting, rhe way dancers would use it.
I think your onto something good here proud of you taking the steps to go.
It is really mean what your head does there with you. Mixing your thinking about intelligence with your body weight. Don’t let you trick into such malicious thinking.
You know by yourself, that you are smart and also very active in sports and cooking healthy meals!
Haven’t been on TS for a bit. I don’t know why I tend to skip out for a while but glad I always come back to read others experience, strength and hope here. I was on here a lot in early recovery and should get back to this forum more often.
I have been kind of struggling with the loss of my little brother lately and just missing him. Missing being able to joke around. Daniel and I never once had an argument over one thing. It was always just words of encouragement and jokes. He was just a wonderful young man all around. It’s rediculous how we lost him and only being 28 years old. I’ve been contemplating on joining some sort of anti violence community outreach program to volunteer around here recently. Just not sure where to begin with that, any advice would be helpful. Thanks for reading, I feel somewhat lighter now.
I woke up to snow here, and now the kids are out playing in it, all togged up. I have the kettle on for hot chocolate for when they come back in.
This is the first proper day off in a couple of weeks, and it was a busy day yesterday with swimming and then the second audition for Macbeth for my daughter. When I saw my face in the mirror this morning I looked dreadful! But it’s a good feeling knowing that I’m not hungover, just that I must have had a really deep sleep and it was taking a while for my face to wake up.
The main thing I have to do over the weekend is to pack away all the kitchen items ahead of the kitchen fitters arriving first thing Monday morning. I’m also going to watch the football tonight as I’ve always had a soft spot for France
Best wishes from Scotland
Today is day 27 for me and im about to head out for the day which 27 days ago was going to be alcohol fuelled feeling grateful to be sober but want to check in to remind myself of how far i have come and to not be distracted by all the Christmas hype that im about to see around drinking
Happy sober Saturday people (at least its sat in England )
