Day 853
Feeling lethargic and unmotivated. Maybe the cold, maybe the tapering, maybe the time of year. I am not even taking part in the Japanese book clubs that I usually do. It is true I am busy with kids and work, but just not having much of a spark of late. Just feeling dull. Going thru the motions. I guess there are just times like that. Will post on the gratitude thread to get some positivity pumping.

It truly is just one day at a time. Stress though was also a HUGE trigger for me to use. I got into the habit of deep breathing when i got stressed, exercising, and venting on here for support. Those things have helped me alot to reduce my stress. The other thing i began to do was preventative stuff to reduce my stress. So for example id meditate once a day, make sure i take breaks for myself throughout the day so that things dont pile up and cause stress. That sort of thing. I find it easier to keep the stress down in the first place, as opposed to having to deal with extreme stress when it happens. If that make sense lol anyway, hope ur day goes well today!

Day 1499.
Just came home from work Christmas get together. Nothing big, just sitting around and talking a bit. When I came home and this was only the continuation of my feeling, I remember that these feelings were the main trigger for me to drink: not belonging. Like not belonging and hopefully noone will find out too soon.
I am glad I took the bike. I like the dry cold. Streets are still dry. Itās cold so the challenge is: putting as much so that you donāt freeze and still be able to move and switch gears on bike. Looking like a big ugly Tele tubby or Michelin MƤnnchen.

854 days no alcohol.
319 days no cocaine.
My photo memories showed me a screenshot of when I had 456.78 days clean from cocaine this day last year. It made me so sad because I had 459 days when I relapsed around this time last year. Just so grateful I survived it, didnāt think I was going to, and was so depressed I was ambivalent too it when I gave in. Keeping my guard up this year and paying close attention to any negative feelings and trying to hear what they are telling me so I can give myself what I need. I am definitely in a better place mentally than I was a year ago, so doing my best to maintain it.
It was hard to motivate myself to get changed and out the door to walk to the pool and back, but I managed to listen to my more assertive inner voice and just did it, so I went swimming today for the first time in 2 weeks! Proud of that.
