Checking in daily to maintain focus #51

#Day 1573 :walking_woman:
Having the day of and the weather is wet. Planned to walk early, but maybe later.
Decided to put some of my drums out for sale. I’m a bit emotional about it but I can’t keep them all and not play on them anymore.
Off from work and have to mess out my wardrobe closet :see_no_evil:


Picture made yesterday at the zoo.
Overall I had a lovely weekend but I feel mentally unstable. I can’t adress it. Maybe because I quit the band? It was a big part of who I am for more then 8 years. Now I have to fill in that gap with something new? Find a new balance?

Have a good monday all of you people :raising_hand_woman:

Been working hard so have had little down time, quite tired.

Been traveling well all things considered i remember when a hard days work in the hot sun was an excuse to pick up but not these days, mostly look forward to driving my car home clear headed and having my subwoofer massage my back. Its the little things.

Hope everyone is doing good, old or new travel well.

You’re there Sean. Proud of you. You’ve taken a huge step forward. Keep going. In the group you’ll be together with your fellows. You’re not alone. You’ll feel better being together although I understand it’s overwhelming now. You can do it! Glad you’re there and glad you’re here with us too. We do this thing together. You’ll be good just go with it.

Good for you, Buddy. Welcome to TS. Rehab is a great way to get on some solid footing in early sobriety. You will get out of it what you put in. And you have lots of support from people who’ve walked that same path here in this community. Glad you are here.

Checking in Day 10 AF

Doing pretty good. I’ve been keeping to myself the last couple days. I was texted by two people that I used to drink with, and I just replied with minimal responses. I feel bad, like that I owe them an explanation for avoiding much contact with them. I’m not ready to have the whole conversation that I don’t want to drink anymore yet. As many resets and failed attempts I’ve had in my past, I don’t know if they would take me seriously. So until I can get more sober time under my belt, I’m just not going to stress myself out about it. At the end of the day, if my sobriety is better by my choice, then if they are really my friends, they will understand when I am ready to explain.

The fear of death, ones own or others, is my absolute endboss. Because of this I can really empathise with you.:fist_right:
