Checking in daily to maintain focus #52

Can’t you help people with a dialysis when they have an alcohol intoxication? I’m just curious.:thinking:

Nice! A full sober week! Good work?

What did you do to your hair that would scare away the delivery guy?:scream: Or do you wearing your alien costume out of frustration?:thinking::grinning:

Damn man I feel like I have missed a whole lot not being here much lately being caught up in my own head at the same time still having no thoughts of wanting to be loaded. It’s 6am and I leave for work in a minute with the guys but man it’s like a light switch went off in my head this morning. All of a sudden felt the urge to contact other addicts/alcoholics to wish them a good day. So trip out man as soon as I had this feeling of “omg I’m snapping out of it” I think at the same time I’m going to read the “Just for Today” from my book and BOOM! What’s the title? “An awakening if the spirit”.

I have alot of these what I see as God shot moments it’s kind of a reminder that keeps me feeling like man what I’m doing today is what I’m supposed to be doing, and I’m right where I’m supposed to be. I don’t know I never know when my mind will change up on me my emotions and thoughts run wild sometimes. I’m just grateful I have moments like I’m having now recovery doesn’t always feel good but it’s definitely better than I ever felt loaded even during the hard times.

@misokatsu im sorry ur feeling down and sort of stuck in ur head. Im the same way tho with being productive and having things to do really help me mentally. On the days that i have nothing to do, I usually make myself a to do list. I write down anythong that i have to do around the home as well as self care things too. Being abke to check off things from my list makes me feel good :slight_smile: just a thought. Also… i wanted to say that i think ur an amazing mom! They are very blessed to have you!

Hahahaha :rofl:
I don’t need a costume to look scary at the moment. I didn’t wash my hair in 3 days thanks to whatever virus is having a party inside me. Corrected that today :+1:

Checking in, day 831. My application for surgery got denied by the commettee after the questioning, so I will have to apply again (everything went well, it’s just beurocracy). Most probably I can have surgery in a year. I’m tired and don’t know why am I still doing it, would be nice to be able to take a break from all this shit.

Showering was always shitty, because I tend to faint during my drinking time. Couldn’t eat anymore and I was just drinking all the time.

And now I’m very happy to be able to shower whenever I want again.

Keep us posted on the new opportunity @Alycia

I’ve always looked at interviews as a reason to talk about myself to someone :slight_smile:

But remember, we still have two ears and one mouth; always listen twice as much as you talk during an interview.

Good luck!!
