Second check in
Our trainee finally passed her exam! Oh what awesome news! The whole office is happy.
So tomorrow we’ll have one medical assistant more and we’re not that awfully understaffed any more :tada:
It was a tough but good day.

Cutting down normally doesn’t help. You won’t stop after thd first few. :confused:

Believe me. Most of the alcoholics would agree with me.

Working on day 5. Feeling much better than yesterday. Straightened out some anxieties about dealing with the aftermath and explanations. Anxiety has been eating me up the past 4 days, but with that behind, the road ahead looks much brighter.

Day 7

I’m in my head a bit.
The pink cloud didn’t come in too clear this time around. I’ve been to online meetings and they help. This morning was tough be4 the online meeting. I was thinking about shearing but I thought I needed to listen more.

Addiction is really sad and just straight up horrible.
I have someone in my life in the grips of his own horrible addiction. We ust to be friends but now his behavior is bad and also really off and he always has something on him soi stay away for safety. I know a little bit of his family and they are sad for him.

I’m happy I’m not that deep in and it’s sobering to know I could be

Im not sure why he is on my mind. Maybe it’s my way of motivating myself unfortunately

I could just go on and on so I’ll let it be at that for now

Checking in day 130! Had therapy, a great workout, and now at work. Someone who recently learned of my sobriety has been asking me questions and is definitely sober-curious. Very nice to be able to motivate with the bit of experience I have.

Also looking into options for a personal trainer or maybe joining a CrossFit gym. Nervous about CrossFit because I’ve never done it. Working out is so key to my sobriety but I just kind of wing it in the gym and it would be motivating to up my game a bit.

Have a terrific sober Thursday all!

Day 333 Substance free
14 hours Binge free
Hey everyone, just wanted to check in. Has been a pretty busy day today. Slept in right until 7am. Had the heaviest sleep of my life last night. I guess being awake 41 hours will do that to a person. Thankfully i can say that being awake that long wasnt drug induced and was instead for a specific reason. Grateful for my recovery :pray:
Today my son had a Dr appt. I went bought a cute wallet for my new purse, bought my meds, and then got a nice surprise from a complete stranger. So, I belong to the Conqueror Challenges fb group (the virtual races i have been doing), and yesterday i wrote a post about how motivating these challenges are. I spoke in general terms about my sons condition and how we didnt have homecare for my son, and that even though i was soo tired, i still worked on my virtual race which made me feel better mentally. I get a private message this morning from someone who lives in England, stating that their neice is going thru something very similar. She too has a brain tumor and a tracheostomy etc. This person just wanted to connect with me to let me know that i wasnt alone and that they understand the struggles that I was faced with on a daily basis. Then they bought me another virtual Challenge!! Its this “Conquer 2023 Challenge”. Its one that is done over the course of the year and they seriously bought me this Challenge, sent me the code for it so that I can input it into my app, and voila… i was entered! I was so shocked and touched by this gesture. A complete stranger wanting to show compassion and relating to my sons situation. Anyways, i am using the 2023 virtual Challenge to accomplishing 5 particular goals. My goals incorporate recovery, meditation, healthy eating, exercise, as well as 1 financial goal for the year. Im super excited!! Hope this motivates me to accomplish my goals for overall health and well being :heartpulse:
Anyway, going to read abit on here and then finish my cleaning. Hope everyone is having an addiction free day!
