Checking in on day 44. Trying to type with one hand and rub my dogā€™s belly with the other.

I love waking up early and having slow, cozy mornings. I started a new role in my company last week that is way more challenging than my previous position, so having a few minutes in the a.m. to breathe and relax is really helpful.

Nice, I love DnD.

On YouTube is a report over a campaign which already has 40 years of continued gaming under the belt.

About to hit Day 17.
Really coming back alive and canā€™t wait for my brain to continue to heal up. Still no job but searching. About to head to the gym I think this will be 5 days in a row and it feels good to be active and regain my strength slowly but surely. Have reactivated the majority of my healing modalities. The one time in the last 20 years of my drinking career I broke away once for a year or two and the gym was my savior. I remember starting to feel super spiritual and connected. Groundedā€¦ I remember after 4 months and six months I had this crazy sensation in my brain and it was extremely emotional but it was like I was healing and everything became clear again. I remember being happy and skyrocketing my career. I remember losing 60lbs and gaining a bunch of muscle and being proud of myself. I remember actually smiling for once. I remember all the people that started gravitating around me as I started to shine light in others lives as well as my own. It was tough and I manifested the shit out of everything I worked for. Most of that is gone now but I know if Iā€™ve done it once I can do it again and more intelligently this time. I havenā€™t had the urge to drink ā€¦ Iā€™m finally free and know I can never have a single drop again. Iā€™ve spent the majority of my life as a alcoholic and addict and I want to truly see whatā€™s on the other side of that long term. Iā€™ve had enough and if I do die from my health complications I want to die sober. Going to initiate my morning and night routines againā€¦ maybe Iā€™ll post them after I set it up. Off to the gym much love.

As I approach 200 days SH freeā€¦i am feeling down and wanting to do it more. I have never gone this long without doing it and donā€™t feel like i am deserving of it. I have been holding on to so much and really donā€™t feel like i am coping well.
I just wish my mind didnā€™t want me to relive all the bad memories and times that i lived through, or times when i was less than great to my loved ones. I am really struggling today

Sorry your struggling Scorpn. I cannot imagine how you are feeling with this kind of addiction that you battle on the daily. Almost 200 days is pretty amazing accomplishment that you are coming up to. Sometimes when Iā€™m struggling it helps me to make a gratitude list at TS on the Gratitude thread, and list all Iā€™m grateful for today, right now, because Iā€™m AF. Thereā€™s so much I got to be grateful for when Iā€™m not drinking.
Keep checking in. You got a posse here that care for ya.

@Misokatsu happy birthday! :birthday::balloon::gift::partying_face::blue_heart:
@Nowenbrace great to see a check-in from you, glad youā€™re doing well :blush::blue_heart:
@KarenKW @Luna2022 welcome back both :blush: congrats on trying again :tada:
@Scorpn sending strength :blue_heart:

861 days no alcohol.
326 days no cocaine.

So tired. Not unexpected after fighting with myself mentally to get some tasks done both days of the weekend. Still more to do when energy returns.

I was really worried leading up to the 14/15th, as that was the anniversary of when my cocaine relapse began last year, but it seems Iā€™ve sailed past the malady of repeating it, relieved about that.

Iā€™ve got a lot of Lego city sets from when I was younger. Now Iā€™ve moved on to creator expert modular buildings, bigger Lego technic sets, like the Bugatti Chiron and Lamborghini Sian and Iā€™ve also bought like 6 trains. But I just buy whatever set I like.

@Faugxh My latest purchase:


That car on the bottom is a relatively big carā€¦
