Checking in daily to maintain focus #50

Im doing well thank you :purple_heart:
I seem to be sleeping so much lately. I wonā€™t complain as I usually have hard time sleeping more often than not.
Iā€™m not sure if itā€™s just where I get cozy and wrapped up warm and just dealing asleep from the cold weather or if my body is exhausted and needing it. But Iā€™ll take it lol.
I hope you have some good weeks ahead of you and Iā€™m so proud of you staying on the path while going through some tough times.
:hugs::hugs:

Take a breathe, try not to get overwhelmed your doing amazing 12 days is fantastic.
You have a lot your worrying about and you will only stress yourself and make yourself unwell with worry.
Your main priority is to not pick up and I can assure you all though it doesnā€™t feel like it yet everything will get better and slowly fall into place, things will work out and things will be okay.
Whatā€™s lost is lost, you have a fresh start and you have your life. Hereā€™s an big hug :hugs: stick with it and it will be okay.

:first_quarter_moon_with_face: Evening Check In :first_quarter_moon_with_face:
Day 304
Extremely tired right now. Have been for most of the day. Maybe i need to sleep in a bit or not pack my day full of activities and errands. Today i woke up at 530am to workout. Then i worked on my fondant cupcake toppers. I did 6 of each plus 24 stars for my wreath cupcakes. Still have snowflakes to do.


Then i vacuumed and did dishes. Cleaned the kitchen after my baking. Tried to relax and do nothingā€¦ couldnt so worked on my embroidery piece.

Now im hungry and trying not to eat so that i dont go over my calories (supper will be soon anyway so dont want to snack. Just waiting for hubby to get home). I am feeling irritable and tense. Just really need to learn how to stop and not do anything. It seems hard to do.
Anyway, hope everyone is having a good day/evening.

Hey @Sirluca good luck with the job prospects.

Something stuck out to me about your shareā€¦

The glory of recovery is that clearer communication and thoughts come with time. And the best part is you dont have to ā€œbe the man you once wereā€ but can be a new man, a man recovering and kicking ass

One day at a time friend

Hitting day 11 in a few hours. Just went to a work party/gift exchange. Had no problem letting others drink and I had fun . The secret Santa thing worked out interestingly. I havenā€™t bothered telling coworkers that I am not drinking so my gift ended up being my favorite bottle of rum Itā€™s now in my liquor cabinet waiting for guests over the holidays. Not feeling tempted which is a good thing.

Itā€™s Day 27 fam. Iā€™m still out of town for work staying in a Air BNB with coworkers who drink & smoke weed. Iā€™m grateful in this moment my desire to be clean is greater than wanting to be loaded. I talk to my sponsor everyday while Iā€™m out here and also keep in contact with other addicts/Alcoholics. I was working today with the thought of how blessed I am to be where Iā€™m at today. Iā€™ve had a couple rough days with mistakes happening with work but my gratitude kept a smile on my face. I canā€™t wait to get home and take my 30 day chip Saturday. But like my sponsor always tells me, what his sponsor tells him when projecting clean timeā€¦ā€œitā€™s not looking good Anthonyā€ lmao. Everyone stay blessed in recovery. Iā€™m proud of everyone here I love you all no matter what youā€™re here for Iā€™m rooting for you :muscle::blue_heart::pray:

Day 75
Itā€™s freezing outside, today we hit -9Ā°C (15,8Ā°F) :cold_face::cold_face::cold_face: I really need some warm long socks now, or a pantyhose. Itā€™s too cold for just jeans.
On my way to work now, I hope the train arrives in one peaceā€¦that thing makes some spooky noises yā€™all :face_with_spiral_eyes:
Iā€™m planning this to be an awesome day. If I can wake up hating the day I also can wake up loving the day, right?
Okay, thatā€™s all for now :wave:
I hope youā€™re having a beautiful sober day, stay strong :muscle::kissing_heart:

Have as good a day as you all can friends. Love from my little square.

I was so tired yesterday night I mistakenly thought I had a doctor and a dentist appointment coming up this morning. Actually thatā€™s tomorrow. So got free time on my hand now as itā€™s my weekend. Yay! Iā€™ll do something nice. No addict stuff. Something healthy and fun. Yes those two go together.

Day 9ā€¦

My emotions are just all over the place. Feeling particularly bitter about the fact that I canā€™t smoke weed without it fucking up my brain chemistry. Iā€™m in PAIN and itā€™s feeling like a cruel joke that this is happening around the same time I decide to go sober.

But I did decide, and it is happening. Still successfully staying away, even if it is putting me in a bad mood.
