@Juli1 enjoy your 4 weeks of holidays! Any big plans for ur time off?
@CATMANCAM really nice to hear that ur feeling peaceful. Ur walk sounds refreshing and calming at the same time.
@JDHealing WOW!! Huge congratulations on 2 months sober!!
@mno Ive never heard of Pesso therapy, but it sounds wonderful! I think especially during our abuse of drugs and alcohol, we completely neglect ourselves and we dont connect our minds to our bodies. For myself i feel like my body definitly got yhe worst of it while my mind ran the show and focus only on the next fix. Really proud of you and your progress and your continued healing!
@Miranda wat to go on making it thru ur husbands xmas party! I am also soooo damn excited for u to reach triple digits. Girl u have worked soo hard to get here!! Very proud of you!! I can totally relate to the social anxiety and awkwardness around others drinking etc. I think thats why i rarely ever go out anymore 
@scorpn i gotta say it again girlā¦ happy 2 months clean and sober to you!!! Im so blessed to be on this recovery journey with u! U deserve this!! And uv worked SO hard to get here! Hugs!!

Day 38 no alcohol
Day 18 no weed or cigarettes
Finding it very hard to focus on work in the afternoon, not sure if itās the medication Iām taking or caffeine crash but my patience and tolerance just disappears. Trying to harness a positive mindset but itās not working very well. This is when then bad thoughts start to creep in. Feeling like complete shit to be honest. Thankfully itās the weekend. Hopefully I donāt do anything stupid. Hope everyone else is having a better Friday.

Morning Check in
Day 299
Omgā¦ im almost at 300 full days of continuous recovery! Im actually excited for tmrw and seeing that number change!
Missed the gym this morning again. Grrr ive been soo tired this week tho. My sleep is all out of whack and ive just been physically tired. Will resume exercise on Monday since i work this weekend and cant work out. Will stay focused on mt eating tho at least.
This morning i paid bills, paid more $$ to one of my debts, and paid my credit card some $$, finished xmas shopping, and got my meds and some groceries. Feels really good!
This weekend i work. Saturday im back at the hospital with one of my clients. Then Sunday im in a group home with another. I noticed in January that they have me every single shift at the hospital. I find the environment hard to work in. Im going to have to figure things out so that i can have time to eat or grab a coffee etc. They dont technically have a room for support staff to sit and eat or to even hang anything up so im literally wearing my coat and carrying everything with me my entire shift. Last time i worked there i didnt eat. Im going to see if there are hospital lockers lying around where i can store my stuff at least.
When hubby gets home, i get to go out to the Skechers outlet store to buy a new pair of gym shoes! Im so excited! My hubby is buying me them for my bday that just passed! Im so blessed and thankful. I truly thot that this year was going to be the same as the others and it being forgotten about. Im glad he didnt forget! Hope i can find something thats nice and reasonably priced.
Hope everyone is having a good day!

Read some eckhart Tolle itāll teach you we are not our thoughts. If I did everything my mind told me to do I would be doing a life sentence by now so the fact it tells me I want a drink is small fry and I really donāt have to listen or act on it.

Iām so sorry your struggling. Itās hard to make it past the tears and the pain but you can do it without alcohol. Then it usually makes the next day a little bit easier. Donāt beat yourself up for it but remember that youāre stronger than you think you are and I never thought Iād be where I am today either but here I am feeling these awful feelings yet somehow making it through to the next moment and then seeing things a little brighter. Iām thinking of you.

I learned today Pesso therapy originated from dancers trying to rid their bodies of emotional blockades that made it impossible for them to perform certain dance moves. Love that

I completely agree. Keeping it simple to focusing on a single day definitely makes it less overwhelming. Congrats on day 5 
. Keep rocking it! We all deserve a life free from the chains addictions put on us.

Thatās good as it shows that if we never stop trying anything could happen. Not on so much these days too busy being sober. Great to see you still wanting to change, it will happen.
