Checking in daily to maintain focus #52

I am checking in on day 136 with yall. I really love this sober-time community. Thanks to all. Happy sober weekend to everyone. One hour day every day at a time. :blush:

Checking in day 173! Didnā€™t sleep great last night. Lots of worry about my ex who relapsed and is struggling. Iā€™m processing through in therapy but also thinking about attending al-anon. Otherwise Iā€™m doing well- glad itā€™s Friday and have a brunch with coworkers tomorrow (they know I donā€™t drink which makes that easy and fun).

Work 12 hours today. Have a mid year review with my boss. Should be good I imagine (Iā€™ve been sober almost the whole time Iā€™ve worked here, besides the first month!), but I still get nervous for reviews.

I hope everyone has a fantastic sober Friday and kickoff to the weekend!

Checking in, day 840. Havenā€™t smoked in 2 days! I feel better physically, although Iā€™m a bit more short-tempered than usually. Went for a run the other day, Iā€™m glad that the weather is a bit warmer, because Iā€™m still sick a bit. Iā€™m still out of meds, I hope I will get at least one ampul next week, because itā€™s getting more and more difficult without that. I plan to work the whole weekend to distract myself as much as I can to remain smoke-free.

Day 8. Still not eating much and very tired, but still going. Kinda patched things up with my boyfriend, at least for now. Dog-sitting again. Hope everyone has a good day!

Iā€™m helping a friend with a yard sale today. Letā€™s just say my sobriety is being tested.:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Thanks @Cjp ! Iā€™m really trying to focus on the positives. But today life is really testing me. Bad news on top of bad news. Not tempted to drink. But taking the morning off work to process things.

Today I reached a milestone. I have 5 months sober!!! I had five months back in 2021 and had a relapse. I want to get past five months this time. :blush: I feel good today. Iā€™m not depressed like I have been. Iā€™m working now and feeling good about myself. Iā€™m being productive these days.

Checking in
Day 376
Busy, busy morning so far today. Its -38Ā°C here so im bundled up as i do my running around. Payday for me today so that means paying bills, buying the bus pass for next month, and topping up on the groceries for next week. Work this weekend for me so have to prepare for that. Other than that im okay. Just some cleaning up to do once i get home and some relaxation. Hope everyone is having an addiction free day

Since youā€™re laughing Iā€™m thinking that youā€™re saying this a little bit just out of frustration and exasperation of the yard sale, and not literally because youā€™re being tested. If youā€™re being tested, stay strong and go back to your beginning tools that you used at the beginning of your sobriety. And keep posting. Big hugs

@Noshame thank you :blush: I appreciate your support :blue_heart: Congrats on getting the job :clap:t2: :tada:
@Deelzebub congrats on 300 days :tada:
@Cp25 congrats on 5 months :tada:

928 days no alcohol.
393 days no cocaine.
15 days no vape.

My delivery did arrive, just in time for me to get out for my walk last night, before it got completely dark.

TW: next paragraph mentions binge-eating.

Disappointingly, I binged again last night. I had showered, and still had another hour until the program Iā€™m watching started, so ED/addict voice said it would be a good idea. Iā€™m determined that thatā€™s the end of it now though, the more I carry on, the harder it is to stop, in my experience anyway. I want to feel positive about myself again, and that doesnā€™t include binge-eating.

Today, Iā€™ve done my meditations, and walks, and finished Meme Wars 70 :smile: , also listened to some of the new David Goggins audiobook that Iā€™ve recently started, in hope for some motivation towards restarting the gym sometime in the not too distant future.

Tonight, more meditation, then TV time, without binge-eating!

Wishing you all wonderful sober weekends. :blush:

Several health issues, money issues, the usual. Itā€™s just been a lot all at once.

Day 56. Thoughts of drinking tomorrow are weighing heavy on me. Surgery is in 4 days, and I have been stressed about the house. The little voice is talking and saying everything and anything right now.

Its better to be sober thinking about drinking, then be drunk wishing you were sober. Thats my go to, hoping you stay soberā€¦one moment, one day at a time.
