Checking in daily to maintain focus #50

Thank you!! Yes the first 3-4 days I spent in bed crying mostly, I was so anxious. So to be relieved of that anxiety today is such a blessing. :blossom:

146 days free from alcohol
127 days free from toxic relationships
36 days imperfect regular eating

Had a very good in this high loft bed under big roof. Effort of the journey is blown away. Arranged and organised the little house I am living in a bit and bought all stuff daily needed at the grocery.

Started with a wondeful breakfast, then I had a walk to the beach and 2 long swims in the freeeesh atlantic ocean :heart_eyes: sitting in the sun afterwards and in between. There was a red flag at the beach, but I convinced the guard that I am a good swimmer.
I am having my fins with me :sweat_smile::yum::sunglasses:

I also walked back and it has a lot of height differenceā€¦ Had 13.000 steps today.

Then made some Fiesta napping and some beauty stuff, showering, coffee and touron :ok_hand:t2::heart_eyes:

Had another walk in town in a commercial store and bought a lighter as there are nice candles in the airbnb and a cutting board, as here is only one biiig out of glass and thatā€™s to heavy for daily use. Then i took the bus to a harbor and ate perfect grilled squid. The guys from service and kitchen made me an extra big portion I think.

Drinking thoughts are sometimes coming up, itā€™s not a craving but itā€™s like I remember these holiday dinners and evenings just drinking wine normally and feeling relaxed. So i am still not 100% sure if I am already done with it with my young 39 ages, feeling like 29. Itā€™s sad, that my addictive behavior made me not able to drink regularā€¦ Probably.

Furthermore the stressful day yesterday pushed into some light depressive feelings and i had to push myself a bit to go out and show myself up!!! But I didā€¦ And I will do tomorrow!

Already having a planā€¦will joyn the beach and sea again, siesta napping and beauty :sweat_smile::sunglasses:
and visit next bigger city in the later afternoonā€¦ :ok_hand:t2:

Love :ocean: :black_heart:

Getting to the good stuff. Congrats!

@MooseTracks 100 days was magical for me. So many never get to the really amazing transformation that comes with continuous sobriety. We are the luckiest.

:first_quarter_moon_with_face: Evening Check In :first_quarter_moon_with_face:
Day 305
Today was much better in the sense of me being able to handle things better. I exercised early this morning, did my recovery routine, did up my fondant snowflake cupcake toppers, did some cleaning, and ran errands with my son. The only thing that bothered me was that a man got on the train and stood right next to me and my son, suitcase and meth pipe in hand. Man starts lighting his pipe right next to us. I asked him if he could not do that while my son was on the train. Thankfully he ran down to the end of the train. We got off at the next stop and did our grocery shopping. Came home to relax.
My son will finally be attending school again this Monday after about 1 month off. The horrible respiratory outbreak has gone and the school is back to normal mostly. He is also pretty much healed up from his surgeries. I wanted him to attend to be able to participate in the christmas school activities and see his friends. He misses school so much. This also means that my routine will shift again. The change will be good for me.
Not much else going on i guess. Hope everyone is having a good day/evening

Thank you! Definitely havenā€™t been on as much lately but I suppose thatā€™s a good thing. I spent a lot of time on here in the early days. It really was my crutch to lean on. Thank you to everyone.

Day 10 cannabis free!

Feeling a lot less bitter today. I get stuck sometimes thinking Iā€™m losing the freedom to do what I want by being sober, but the truth is Iā€™m taking my control back. Itā€™s true that there are some people who get to both smoke AND have control, but the reality isā€” Iā€™m not one of them. I have to accept that and I have to chose, do I want to smoke or do I want to have control over my life?

I want the latter, and Iā€™ll chose it every day.
