Checking in daily to maintain focus #51

Still here 3 days 9 hours in. Woke up feeling awful. Did a test for uni like this last night I have no idea how and I’ve been working full time so rough week. Just holding on until I see these symptoms start to lift and I can feel alive again. ,:blue_heart:

Thank you.

Today’s message said

Everything that happens to you is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose…

Feel like this was very relevant to me now. Yes things might be bad now but let’s focus on the opportunity it can bring once I get through.

Day 11. Time feels like it’s speeding up for me and can’t believe I’m this far already. The week is always not as bad for me cause I’m so busy and the evenings I have my husband with me for support. This weekend will be more difficult as it’s our weekend where we would normally get wasted and I’m feeling apprehensive. But it’s not sat it’s Thursday and today will be a good day. Hope everyone a strong day x

  • Day 1
    Free from alcohol
    Keeping my life toxfree
    Eating regulary without drama

Feeling good today, joyning home office, trying to repare physically and mentally what I damaged last days with my overall relaps to alcohol, binge eating and getting back to nonsense sex with a toxic person. :roll_eyes::smirk:

Doing selfcare, reflecting and trying to stabilize further way.

Thanks for your kind words and ongoing support @Its_me_Stella @Jasty2 @CATMANCAM and anyone of you taking care of me in other threads. It’s so good to know you’re on my side!

I informed a lot about the way of “Recovery Dharma” suggested by @Thirdmonkey. Thank you so much for that. Didn’t hear about it before and it realy seems like a good way for me… As several other addictions are considered. Ordered the basis book and another one for daily practice and will joyn an online meeting soon. So I will add a “recovery programm” on my further way. :pray:t2:

Tonight i will find my way to the mat in my live class, looking forward to that. :woman_in_lotus_position:t2:

Much love :two_hearts:

Day 12! Had my first drinking dream last night. I got a drink and had half of it then my friend was like hey what are you doing?!? And I immediately dumped it out, like whoops! Not too intense. Feeling great!

Day 901
Anyone else have this happen where you replay things from the past that you literally haven’t thought about since…ever. Like sobriety gives you the power to unlock all these memories you totally forgot about. It’s like I am suddenly a detective of my own past, piecing things together. I get caught up with different memories. I just need to let it all go. Idk, I guess that’s why therapy goes well with sobriety. Like, I get why I drank all those years! The shit that pops up in my head … :eyes: oh man. Haha but it’s okay. Not gonna drink.

Checking in Day 13 AF

I found someone to put down subflooring finally. So I spent yesterday moving furniture around the house. So hopefully tomorrow on my day off, I can find the motivation to pull carpet & old hardwood up and try and get the mudding done in that room before the date is set to begin work. I know if I was hungover I would get absolutely zero done. So I’m not drinking today, and definitely not tomorrow. I will just be happy when all the mudding and sanding is done. The dust literally gets everywhere and it’s so frustrating. I’m just going to focus on the positive and know it will all be worth it in the end.
