I maybe try that, but I want to see if I can make it without the usage of another App. In the end it has to happen in my head and I must understand why I donā€™t need to be on the phone almost 24/7 :wink:
But good to see that it helps you :+1:

Day 94
I got up a little too late this morning, Iā€™m so damn tired :sleeping:
Thankfully Iā€™m in less pain than expected, often the hammer hits on the 2. day after working out. Weā€™ll see.
I may check in later again, first days of work are often hard and I have a hard time remaining relaxed.
Have a beautiful sober day friends and stay strong :kissing_heart::muscle:

Cool! My aim was 2022 km but I didnā€™t make it because of my injury.


But still happy with my 1866 :blush:
You did a lot of walks! Proud of you! Hope to increase my walks as well :facepunch:

Hi Sabrina,
I have the same problem with YouTube.
Especially using shorts is making my mind monkeyish. On the other side I noticed that a lot of contact leaves me with the feeling, I need to change and itā€™s not okay how it is (lifestyle, eating, sports, psychology, whatever).
On the other hand I am following a few channels with very helpful content.
I will reduce my Abosā€¦

And, maybe thatā€™s also an option for you, I have the ā€œdigital balanceā€ option in my mobiles preferences. I reduced screentime of Youtube to 1 hour this morning. Maybe you have some option like this too?

Early morning day 3. Up early after horrible violent and disturbing nightmares. It left me really shaken. Now Iā€™m worried about getting myself together enough to work today. Donā€™t feel able to function.

Checking in on day 87. Life is good right now. Iā€™m sober, in a great happy relationship with a very supportive, loving and caring woman.

Iā€™ve been reading Matthew Perryā€™s memoir called ā€˜ Friends, Lovers and the big terrible thing. What an eyeopening book! It can be triggering sometimes but to read how he struggled and relapsed is both terrifying and inspirational. Iā€™d highly recommend this book to the readers out here!

Stay strong! Odaat.

Hey guys, how you all travelling?
It was my first day back at work today after nearly two weeks off over Christmas. I enjoy the travel, I like working in the city. The work with veterans is really interesting and rewarding. But it is really tiring having to travel so much 5 days a week. Looking forward to getting better at the job, and working from home a few days a week soon. Just need to buckle down and get through this next month of training.
I didnā€™t drink today, and my cravings were a lot less now Iā€™m not on holidays. That Christmas break was really trying. Everyone was so damn drunk haha.
Much love everyone, keep on keeping on with your sobriety :heart:

Day 935 clean and sober today. Finding the little things to keep my mood up and my mind in a good place. Planning a 3 day camping trip in the mountains for my birthday in March. It feels good having something to look forward to.

Side note: I think the longest I was ever single in my life was 9 months. Itā€™s going on 2/12 years now and unfortunately or fortunately Iā€™m settling in to the ā€œfuck it, this is my new normal nowā€. Fucking lonely sometimes but I do enjoy all of the time solo hiking and reading, just a little sad I guess today but whatever. Stupid little things to be concerned with but I canā€™t help feel like my romantic days are over now. Maybe I shouldnā€™t have vented that here on this thread but itā€™s where my heads at right now. Off to the gym and then to work. Have an amazing day you guys, love you :sunglasses::metal:t2:

Day 875

Had a good day today. :blush:
Did some tidying and selling old clothes and recycling the rest. Over the next few weeks will try little by little to work on more areas of the house. The husband suggested going for Chinese and a hike. On the way we found another little park with ponds and walked around that too. I organised my new sponsor and we will start work on an annual step 4 and 5. She is just a little ahead of me sobriety wise, but we have things in common, such as emotional/disordered eating issues too. Really happy to have a plan of action.

Amazing work on your 2 days Karen. Keep going and pushing through. Let this be the last day 3 you ever experience. Note down the emotional and physical pain you are currently experiencing as a reminder of the place where your using take you. It never changes, it only gets worse. Youā€™re doing a great job, now go and smash the fuck outta day 3 and work. Youā€™ll be home soon enough :pray:
