Checking in. Day 98.
Finished repairing the wheel bearing on my car yesterday. I was hoping to do the job in one day, but it took me a second because I ran out of daylight. Plus, it slipped my mind that I was probably going to have to replace the hub and the ball joint in the process. Which I did. So now my car runs good now. And back to work. Happy sober Friday everyone!

@Twizzlers thanks again for your support and advice 
@Bomdhil welcome back donāt stop trying.
@Sabrina80 congrats on your win 
@SGC1522 congrats on your week
@Luna2022 congrats on 2 weeks
@Butterflymoonwoman congrats on 11 months
@Bones_80 feel better soon 
886 days no alcohol.
351 days no cocaine.
1 day no binge-eating.
I got it done, the rest of the cleaning. I was at it from 6am-9am. It feels and smells so nice. It was so hard though, I had to push myself after every single job. I wish my brain wouldnāt be so resistant.
I have felt really unwell since. I am extra red all over, and extra purple when I stand up (ongoing problem since towards the end of my relapse about a year ago). I keep smelling burning but nothing is burning, I have a migraine, nausea, chest pains, and the feeling of suffocation in my neck/throat. Iām going to spend some time catching up with some meditations now and hopefully that will help, because itās hard not to panic when I feel like this.
I am fighting the urge to go to the shop to buy and binge crisps to distract from how unwell I feel, but meditation is a healthier alternative.
Iām wishing you all wonderful sober weekends

I also hate that.
But I had read books about it. They do that because they wanted to be in Your position and deep inside feeling bad about it. Itās not on conciouss, more on sub-conciouss levels, but still You are that reminder for them, and they want to switch it off. Something like thisā¦

Checking in on day 1653.
Today has been a very good day. Work has been boxed off for the week apart from an hour in the morning where I just have to show my face. Good though, as I know Iāll be up at 7am, done for 8am then have the rest of the day to make my own.
Week on the whole has been good. I was worried about fitting work around everything else Iāve got going on but my plan seems to be working. Daily lists and daily plans are now a must. Everything done along with exercise and giving the people who matter my time.
Iāve now not watched any news for nearly 2 weeks. My anxiety and general mood are absolutely fantastic. I donāt have random shit swirling around my head. Irrational worry has gone. Iām not wasting my time listening to the outside noise. Itās a game changer. Started the process of moving the business pages off social media too then itās completely gone.
Silence the outside noise and things become a lot quieter in your skull. Focusing on what actually matters and is happening around you is what itās all about.
I see a lot of newcomers have now left. I should be used to this after seeing guys I sponsor slip away after a few weeks but it never gets easier. I always pray for the still suffering addict. I want them to have what I have so much 
But I also see a lot of newcomers are smashing the absolute shit outta this 
. Youāre doing amazingly. Itās there to be had, and youāre certainly having it. Youāre stories of new found love for things, feeling emotions you havenāt felt in years, and feeling so much better about yourselves fills this heart with warmth. One day you wonāt be the newcomer. But youāll still be there to help those who come after you
Happy Friday folks. Have an amazing evening whatever youāre up to, and remember. That feeling of waking up fresh on a Saturday morning, never gets old.
Iām rambling. Itās time for sleep. Keep on keeping on my sober brothers and sisters. One day at a time

Today was full and active with an overrall sense of ādoing the right thingsā and contentment. When I left work I was exhausted but feeling good about myself (which can be rare), had/have an empty house and its Friday night. Felt like a trifecta steering me toward a stop at the store.
I thought back to the last 3 days knowing that if I stopped at the store, it would take a helluva lot to get back to 3 days again, and to the cintentment and the active, healthy behaviors. A perfectly timed song came on with a lyric, āIām one drink away from the devilā and I thought about what I was really craving at the moment. I realized I wanted warmth, comfort and rest. I wanted to set myself up for success and be ready for the run I promised myself in the morning. I turned on āRunning Ransom Roadā for inspirstion and to get out of my own head.
I didnāt stop at the store and am cuddled in warmth and comfort, and when my son comes home tonight, heāll find a sober Mom without a buzz, not trying to hide beers or a wine bottle.
The tools were in place today. I pray tonight for them to be in place tomorrow. Hereās to another sober day for all.

Day 4. I set an intention to drink after a long, stressful day. I took a minute (actually 20) and thought through how many day ones I have over the last three decades. I swept through my phone and looked at a plethora of day one photos. I thought about what will change by not drinking - a lot. I thought about what will change if I do drink - things will only get worse.
Now, I am on a meeting with 218 of my family of choice. Head hitting the pillow sober tonight. Cravings are gone.

Evening Check In
Day 334 substance free
Day 1 binge free
Today has honestly been a physically exhausting day. It was okay overall tho. I got everything done that i wanted to do. The hardest part was when my son and I got to the xray building for my sons appt. Hes 65lb and in a wheelchair. The elevator to get to the 2nd floor was out of service 
Thankfully 2 very nice ladies offered to bring the chair up the stairs while i carried my son. We did his appt and then again 2 nice ladies from the office offered to carry the chair down to the main floor while i carried my son down. And this was all after walking up a very steep incline pushing his wheelchair, just to get to the appt. And after an 1.5 hour intense workout. So i was physically exhausted by about 11am lol tried to just take it easy for the rest of the day. Did dishes but thats about it. I work this weekend at the hospital so hopefully that goes well. Hope everyone has a good day/evening! Also thank you to everyone who congratulated me on my 11 months! It is really appreciated!! Hugs!
