Checking in daily to maintain focus #51

Thank you, I have seen this. I looked back at my activity too and it was interesting to see how the relapse crept up on me. I know I am in a much better spot now after learning what I did from that relapse! I still have 25 days clean from cannabis at least :blush:

I live in a basement flat so I think it has something to do with old style coal and stuff not really sure yet but it is an old feature I guess :slightly_smiling_face:

I managed to get half of it done, my dad is going to collect the stuff I no longer need on Friday, so I decided to just leave the rest until then, instead of juggling lots of other stuff at the same time causing myself stress.
Easier to do it in the day and itā€™s gone. Then I can refill it :joy:

I can see the top of the mini door and itā€™s open slightly ā€¦ So creepy !

Ah, OK.

I wouldnā€™t call it a feature.:smile:

Your flat is really bright (I donā€™t know if itā€™s the correct adjective in English) for being in the cellar.:astonished:

Itā€™s almost at ground level with the street, but really low ceilings dark inside it can become sightly depressing. I notice this more when I go into others homes and they have no lights on and itā€™s so nice and bright :blush: mine doesnā€™t get that bright with all the lights on :joy:
Have a garden as well which is a +.
Some damp about so waiting to get this fixed to then redecorate, which didnā€™t help how I feel most days but I am so grateful to have a home.

Maybe you should start some witchcraft for good measure.:thinking::smile:

Checking in day 143! Iā€™m off today- unfortunately I do have a 3.5 hour training to attend (luckily itā€™s virtual). Going to get to the gym and the store beforehand. Hope everyone has a great sober Wednesday!!

I have a corner in our closet where I made a memorial for my mom, father in law and my grandparents. His picture gets a place right there.

898 days no alcohol.
363 days no cocaine.
1 day no binge-eating.

Was awake early, did my morning routine at 6am, went out for my lake walk at 7:50am, then another walk to get stuff for lunch before the collection timeslot.

Then waited in for the collection people to arrive, they came at 1pm, Iā€™ve caught up on meditations since then.

Iā€™ve reached out to a charity for support re my eating disorder.

Glad I got here early. At the hospital now. They put me in a wheelchair to roll me to my x-ray. Ended up somehow on the wrong end of the building.
I donā€™t know if my backpack got heavier or if Iā€™ve just gotten significantly weaker. Worst part: I have to get down a snow covered embankment -possibly in the dark - without falling on my ass. I wonā€™t be able to stand back up if I lose my balance. Itā€™s been a less than pleasant day.
Iā€™ll check in afterwards. :slightly_frowning_face:

Day 345 substance free
Today has been hectic and pretty frustrating. My son had a very early appt and our wheelchair cab was 38 min late making us sooo late for our appt. Not entirely his fault bcuz it was snowing soo bad and the roads were slick. Traffic was soo bad also and people were wanting to park their car in the loading zone in front of our building. I shouldnt have to stand there with my son in his chair, asking people to find a different spot to park while we are waiting for our cab. We get to the appt and its 2.5 hours long. I had not eaten yet, had not had my morning coffee yet either lol so i was slightly irritated. Held it together tho. We get home and eat. Got a call from one of my team leads about the February schedule wanting me to work at the hospital in February. I had to go thru my reasonings with her just like i did the other team leads. I just cant do it. The odd shift here n thereā€¦ okay. But not every weekend. Im grateful that she seemed to understand. I am emotionally heightened and kind of tired, but ill be okay. Have a couple more places to go once we are done lunch. Then home to relax. Hope everyone is having an addiction free day
