I am up this morning with my little one before work. I slept on the couch last night to be closer to her. I didnāt sleep much, but my workday will only be 7 hours today, so maybe I will nap later.
I have run out of hearts to give so many times in this past 24hour period because I spent a lot of time here and love everyoneās check ins and posts. We are all on this journey of healing together and I am grateful for all of you.
Weather today is your day 1 or day 10000, I am proud of you! Youāre putting in the effort and that is what matters at the end of the day.
Hereās to another day sober. One day at a time

Checking in day 120! Off today, and itās nice out. Planning to work out today, and spend some time outside. Iām going to get some new running shoes (I love to run but I have planter faciitis and get super sore feet with the wrong shoes)ā hoping to get back into running this year. Going to try to make today a great day- hope the same for you all!

Hey all, checking in day 17. The New Year holiday was good, we just really relaxed and got stuff done at home. Back to work early this morning, the wifeās off another day so thatās cool. Our sonās coming home today from working out in Carolina for the last year so heāll probably be there for a couple months before he heads out somewhere else. Hope you all have a good day

Morning Check In
Day 323
I feel really good this morning. I forced myself out of bed ar 515am to workout. Love that my fitbit keeps track of everything for me. It has been very helpful! The fitbit app (i got a 6 month premium membership for free) has been so useful too. Drinking my green tea now and then will probably get started on cleaning.
My husband is home today due to the holidays. It is day 2 of no smoking for him! Yay!!! The nicorette mist spray has been helping him alot! I was scrolling thru Facebook this morning and a friend of mine who is very much into mental health stuff posted something interesting. Ive never heard the term toxic empath before.
Toxic empathy is when a person over-identifies with someone elseās feelings and directly takes them on as their own. Its when people prioritize the needs of everyone else over themselves which results in that person being bitter and resentful bcuz they are pouring from an empty cup.
Just kind of struck me bcuz i can relate to this at certain points in my life, even sometimes today. Just interesting to have a term for it i guess.
Anyway, hope everyone is doing well and has an addiction free day!

Good morning, Dana! How was your New Year? Usually Iām still asleep at 5:15. I really hate exercise which is why Iām still fat. Trying to make myself enjoy it; one of my resolutions.
Iāll write more when Iām awake.

@residentevil sorry about your friend, and sorry for your loss 
but congrats on 3+ weeks
@Hotic congrats on 4 years 
@Scorpn sorry for the SH reset sending strength 
@Etre welcome 
congrats on your time so far
@ifs solidarity I have recently been making myself go and sit outside on the nearest bench, or for short 10-15min walks, sometimes longer. Getting outside can really improve my mental state, and the barrier of leaving the flat each time is becoming smaller.
@Its_me_Stella congrats on 3 years and belated happy birthday! 
@Rebhan12 congrats on 600 days
@DryIn785 congrats on your week
@SadMemeQueen congrats on 10 months
@KarenKW welcome back congrats on reaching out for more support
875 days no alcohol.
340 days no cocaine.
I got some things done today. I decluttered and organised my spare room. Took some empty boxes to store in the garage. Progress. Tomorrow I plan to do more. Still in pain and lacking motivation but it feels good to have made a start.
Tomorrow morning the company is coming to replace my rear windowscreen. Which is good because I have an appointment the day after that I need to get to.
Finding it hard not to go to the shops to buy and eat binge foods. Really hard. In comparison, not vaping is easy.

Day 1520.
I am feeling okay. Tired, but no mental turmoil as long as I donāt dwell on anything that bothers me. Practicing gratitude for all of it.
Under the surface I am bursting with things I want to share. Not because I need help with it but because I have this belief that it will make me feel more understood (something I always feel to be lacking), and Iām not sure if thatās true. I also want to avoid diving into a hole of negativity. Furthermore, I donāt always share effectively either. The moment I sense pronounced concern in someone, I get this urge to put them at rest by backpedaling and minimizing what Iāve shared. I still remember a social worker calling me out on it, after I claimed to be fine (and actually believed myself) when in reality I was pale, nauseated, drowsy, and bleeding quite a lot.
Just going to take things one at a time, cross bridges when I come to them.
Have a good day, folks.

So happy to read you sorted out your living situation.
I was thinking of you allot and praying for you during the time you were very worried about it.
Be kind to yourself
Some one here said to me when I struggled with my weight and exercise to just start with short 10 minutes each day, I did that, some days Iām still working on it but one thing it really does do is help me feel good mentally.
I prefer to swim, but it took me months to go as I felt i looked so bad but once i started it helped me feel so good i have Kept it up.
So for me starting small worked.
