Checking in daily to maintain focus #52

Glad you back and venting.
I could never get sober with Willpower. I needed a team and many tools and lots of support.

Thank you Liz22 right back to you :grinning::muscle::+1:

Checking in, day 1583.
My boss asked me if I’d go work in another dependency in France near Nice for up to 6 months. I should be pleased and yeah and hurray. I am stressed and see organizing things when my last move is barely 6 months ago. I am grateful I don’t drink anymore. Truly grateful. Just having some stress related hot chocolates. I am grateful for people who can calm me down and see the yeah, when I cannot.
Now, I focus on my massage in an hour :innocent:

Yeah ive bought all my annual coins on amazon or other internet sites. Its kinda funny when people see it cause at first they have a sense of reverence towards it … that seems to dissipate slightly as i say “yeah i bought it on amazon, but it still counts.” Lol

I would attend sobriety support meetings during those witching hours. I still do, actually, even though I don’t have cravings to drink anymore. Lots of online meeting options. I lot of people go to the gym.

Another rough day at work but I’m not quitting. I don’t give a flying ef. If they fire me I’ll be pissed and they will lose someone who wants to be there working

I have two bosses telling me what to do and it’s conflicting. I couldn’t do my job because of this. I’m really pissed.

Day 16 no weed
Day 122 no alcohol

Hang in there. Sounds like that situation with the job is out of your control. I’ve been there. You do have control over your sobriety, and that’s more important.

If you really want to quit drinking you won’t put yourself in these situations. Will power has nothing to do with sobriety. My will power could only get me 45 days at the most. Once I surrendered and stopped fighting I was able to get sober. Have you considered a program of recovery or perhaps rehab?

Have you treated your ADHD? You mentioned that last summer. (Glad to see you back!)

I mention that because I have ADHD as well and it is definitely a factor in my addiction.

@Hesmyportion congrats on double digits :tada:
@Law1 congrats on 2+ weeks :tada:

938 days no alcohol.
403 days no cocaine.
25 days no vape.

Did my walks and meditations. Had a video call with my dad which was nice.

Going to try to start a new book now, have been meaning to for a while, it’s frustrating how hard I find it to make myself do things that I know I enjoy, same re showering, although the reasons for that are very complex.

Hoping to read, shower, then watch my program at 9pm.

The therapist and I decided to start smaller and have been treating my anxiety. I did try a few adhd meds (concerta and welbutrin) but they react so strange with me… cant sleep, get suicidal and very irritable (not me at all).

My anxiety is so much better but my adhd has been a bit of control at times. One thing at a time for now. @matt
