Checking in daily to maintain focus #52

Checking in at the end of 625. Went out for dinner and then for ice cream with the fam. It was a fun time.

I am getting nervous again about a big business trip this coming Friday. I feel complacent again, and I am really worried about what could happen. I need to have a plan in place. The last time I went on a similar trip in 2018 I had a huge relapse after my first real try at sobriety.

I’ve been putting off thinking about it but now it’s suddenly almost here. Dammit.

How is the scary level? Is is more scary than Wednesday or later Harry Potter’s? Thinking of taking my daughter when it finally comes to Japan in June.

139 days substance free
56 days
102 not restricting food

Been in a funk really. And I’ve missed 100+ check-ins again. :pensive:
I try to keep up but feel overwhelmed trying to read everything. I will go back and read up.
Today I’ve started a truly gluten free diet. As gluten causes a lot of trouble in my digestive system.

I did think i wanted to start my not smoking timer today as well. But i was stressed and overwhelmed at work and someone gave me one. So i will try again tomorrow.

Miss y’all. Sending hugs to y’all :heart:

I feel you on feeling off recently but I’m glad to see you here @Scorpn one thing at a time ay :wink: we’re all in this together. @icebear I feel you on that complacency and being on work trip somewhat. I leave town every Monday and come home on weekends right now. Been like this for a few months now my last drunk was on my first work trip was face floor in the bathroom the first night. I still continued drinking 1 or 2 the rest of the week and just felt like why am I doing this wasn’t even working anymore. Everyday the guys I’m with get loaded in front of me while I enjoy my soda and food to eat. I’m blessed my desire to be clean is stronger than wanting to be loaded some days are harder than others but I know drinking or using will not satisfy whatever I am trying to accomplish it’s never satisfying long term or enough. I hope you find the strength to stay strong you’re definitely not alone man.

#Day 1623 :walking_woman:
Had a nice weekend out with the hubby. Slept in a B&B and did some nice walks. Ate too much but enjoyed every bite of it :smile:
Had a blind date with a cat to see if she was a good fit for us but she wasn’t. It was a sweet cat, but she doesn’t liked to be cuddled ore sit near someone. It was hard to say no to a cat :flushed:
Like I said she wasn’t good enough. She was, but not for our situation.
Today? House chores and tonight a dinner with a good friend. We have some catching up to do.


Picture from a big American world war 2 cemetery and memorial we pass by and visited in Belgium (Henri-Chapelle).
Very impressive.
Have a good monday all of you :raising_hand_woman:

It’s probably in the same breath of scariness with Wednesday. A couple of jump scares, but very little gore.

This site offers a pretty balanced view aimed parents.

Day 52

So, when I first started to work with trucks the security guy who gives keys and checks if you sober asked: “Hey, New guy, so how, do you like work with trucks?”
I said: “I like it a lot, it’s like playing video game with trucks but you also get paid for it :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::sweat_smile:

Well, the next day he came to me while I was cleaning my vagon all in sweat and said: “Hey new guy, you also needed to clean vagons while playing those video games?” He got me right :joy::rofl::rofl::joy:
