Morning Check In Day 360
My day has just started but its a busy morning.
I missed the gym at 530am due to being sooo tired. Will give myself grace for this and try to workout at home later
My son is home from school today as he has an MRI appt to check to see how his brainstem tumor is doing. Hopefully things are stable
Once home, i have some cleaning to do. Would like to workout like i mentioned. Maybe work on a hobby or something.
And I have to focus on my eating to make sure im nourishing my body and not overeating/binging. Im focused on having a good day!
Checking in day 54. I had my work schedule switched so today is actually my Friday now . Thereās much less drama in here on Saturday and Sunday so I opted to start working them for the next six months. I was supposed to drive a couple hours on Friday to take one of the kids on a college tour but she aināt feeling so hot so now Iām wide open for the weekend. .
Today has been okay, but Iāve already binged and bought more vapes. My addict convinced me I could go to the shop and only buy an energy drink Lesson learned, and I now have a new counter for energy drinks, if they are out of the picture, there is literally no reason for me to go to the shops. Hopefully having the counter will get that in my head.
Since Iāve been mostly consistent with my lake walk in the late afternoons for a few weeks now, I am thinking of adding in a morning one as well, Iāll have to gauge whether my feet can take it or if itās too much, but I think Iād enjoy getting out in the mornings as well.
Keeping your finger crossed will hopefully prevent you from bringing a bottle or glass to your mouth Mark! Just saying itās your own actions that will keep you sober. Sorry for all the sh*t happening. Drinking will only make it all worse. Hugs.
Day 32. Stepping down to a lower level level of care at the IOP but still every day. Going back to work park time Monday. Originally thought that would be this week but pushed it back. Depression actually feels a little bit better today. My favorite author always says that ādepression lies.ā And I really understand what she meant. The depression is telling me that Iām a failure, that Iām worthless, and unlovable. Thatās not my rational thoughts. But for a while the depression has been shouting over all rational and healthy thought. It was so really helpful insight.
Checking in day 157! Been a busy day off. Moved some small things to the new apartment, got a haircut, and ran errands. Having dinner with a friend in a bit. Canāt wait til the move is done! But feeling pretty good overall
Checking in with 316 days
Well done @KarenKW on 32 days. Happy to hear you are having a better day today. That awful depression voice is really similar to the addict voice too. The one that says hey you can moderate and just drink for special occasions or weekends. I acknowledge and ignore them both!!
Hi all, checking in with 7 days and 1 week after my first attendance at my first SA meeting (coincidence? ). Today was an emotionally intense day with me having perfectionistic thoughts floating in and out. Last SA meeting, Monday, was a speaker meeting where he shared about how heād come to peace with those perfectionistic voices and learned to accept himself. I probably could benefit from that too

But not affordable for me any more this year.
