Checking in daily to maintain focus #52

Day 42

Last few days not feeling 100% Probably because I sleep like 5/6 hours. Yesterday went to the gym after long break. Muscles hurts now, but it feels good. Over many years of training I learned the lesson → no matter how easy the weights feel, Do Not Overdue it after long break or you will suffer hard. Of course, endorphins kicks in pretty quick, “The Pump” kicks in easily, but you always need to step away before it’s too late :sweat_smile: Well, today weekend begins so I will recharge my batteries :battery::battery:

Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love.


Numbers do have significance for me. Here’s two that I’ve been thinking about for quite some time to see together. Today’s the day. I’m proud of myself. Just like you all should be, whether you’re on day one or day 10,000. Just keep going one day at a time. My life’s still not easy but it is infinitely better now. No more hiding. I’m here. X

Checking in on day 52, yesterday was just too busy and the night was horrible due to my girlfriend walking up from cramps in her legs. Completed my small Lego project yesterday, which was at least a little bit of relaxation.
@SoberWalker thanks once again for the beautiful photo, such lovely places you have the chance to see :heart_eyes:.
Have a good and sober weekend, and endurance and strength especially to the ones currently struggling. It will get better, just please don’t give up!

Day 34.

Today I finally finished the Annie Grace book, gonna buy another piece of literature later this evening, after I’m done with work. Things are settling in well for me. The PAWS are slowly receding, my energy levels seem to slowly increase, and I’m starting to wake up earlier in the morning. My goal is to start being up around 7, now it’s between 9 am and 10 am. It’s… a process. I also wanna restart my workouts, but for now I’m focusing on getting a few daily walks in. It’s better than nothing!

Day 262, it’s funny around here. Sometimes all we do is bitch about who has what chore bc half the time guys don’t do them. We have like six bathrooms and usually they are disgusting, two guys haven’t cleaned the bathroom that I usually use since they have had the chore. But today said, the courage to change the things I can, without holding a resentment just got the stuff together and cleaned the bathrooms this morning. Sobriety is about changing my ways and becoming a better person and doing the next right thing. Not bitch and moan about what somebody else isn’t doing, their recovery isn’t my recovery. Feeling proud today, starting to save some money so I can buy myself another mountain bike. Much love everyone

Checking in day 166! Took off today except for one meeting to settle in to my new place, get some odds and ends done, and relax. I moved very close to my old place, but underestimated the traffic noise on this block (I live in a city). I love the place though so gonna use my white noise machine and see what else helps- it’s not terrible but an adjustment.

With that said, didn’t sleep great for the second night in a row. Hoping to nap today and get back into my sleep routine tonight. Hope you all have a fantastic sober Friday!

Day 139
I think the worst part of my cold is over. I was able to do some cleaning and finally (after one week) put the laundry inside :grimacing:
Tomorrow I have to go to the pharmacy to refill my meds, I used a lot in the last days. And I need groceries too. For 3 days all I ate was toast with cheese. I’ll get some chicken for another pot of chicken soup. And I crave greens! I’m not hungry but I know I need veggies.
That’s all for now :relaxed: Happy to be back, happy to be sober!
I hope you’re having a beautiful sober day friends and stay strong :muscle::kissing_heart:

Edit:
I found some frozen chicken legs in the back of my freezer. It’s late but I start making soup now :heart_eyes:

921 days no alcohol.
386 days no cocaine.
9 days no crisps.
8 days no vape.
5 days no binge-eating.

I did manage to shower last night. :raised_hands:t2:

Did my morning walk, bought lunch from the shop and ate it on a bench on my way back.

Did some meditations, chilled with my cats.

Sorted out 15 empty boxes that were clogging up space, played Tetris with them and took them all to the garage to store. Now the hallway is clear and there’s more space in the spare room.

Did my afternoon lake walk, it wasn’t too hard to find the motivation today, it’s so much easier when the sun is shining. :sun_with_face:

Now here, in candlelight as the sun is going down for the day.

Next, another meditation and TV time.

Wishing you all wonderful sober weekends. :blush:
