Checking in daily to maintain focus #53

@Eclipse That sounds like a bad day. Sobriety doesn’t eliminate those, unfortunately, but you have tools you can use to better handle those days. It’s good to be prepared for when those tough days come around but having a sound plan in place. Glad you checked in.

@apes2020 oh my gosh, lady! This makes my morning! I think about you often. Hit 2 years AF on 3/10! I hope you stick around as I could use some beauty tips. How is life in Australia?

@wahtisnormal welcome to TS! This is a great community, and you’ll find lots of support here.

There’s a new moon today so I’m going to set my intentions and visualize positive change during my morning meditation. I believe that good things can happen, that change is possible, that reality can far exceed our imagination. I am energy, I am limitless, I am connected to all of you :yellow_heart:

Day 4 here. Up early, lunches packed for the kids and about to take them to school. I’ve got plans to stay busy prepping cinnamon rolls for tomorrow morning, meditating and listening to sober podcasts. I slept better last night, but still feeling tired body wise. I made it two weeks before and the sleep had been amazing at that point and I can’t wait to get back to that. Hope everyone has a great day!

Feeling very grateful I’ve made it today 17. I met with my sponsor for the first time yesterday and it went very well. I was very nervous because I didn’t know what to expect. Keeping my focus. I’m trying to take it one day at a time wishing everyone all the best in this journey we are on together.

Checking in on day 42 Sober. I am at a customer sight working with my team.

I am very grateful to be here this morning refreshed after a 10 hour sober travel day & a full nights sleep. I have dropped 13 pounds in the these first 42 days AF.

I am standing on concrete inside a manufacturing facility and my feet are not killing me and my knees feel good.

I am unusually happy and it is because I am not hung over and I am carrying less baggage mentally and physically. I owe a great deal of this success to this fine group of people here.

Thank you!

Day 171
I’m back with my realistic - positive self :partying_face:
I had a very good day at work, a lot of fun and some good talks.
A patient wanted to be nice and gave us some sparkling wine, 2 sixpacks (yes, we have tiny sparkling wine sixpacks here :roll_eyes:). My coworkers wanted to split it, a bottle for everyone. I friendly rejected, their face: :flushed:
Me: I don’t drink :smiling_face:
Them: oh, okay.
I said that sooo often but they try again and again. Hopeless. They went to the next one who is muslim and doesn’t drink too :joy::+1:
Anyway, some took 2 bottles and everyone was happy.
Now time to cook, then shower and then bed. It was a long day.
I hope you’re having a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong :muscle::kissing_heart:

Day 66.

Today I had a hangover day, without the hangover. Was up last night working until 3 am, then spent the rest of the night binge-watching The 100 (It’s an amazing show! I can’t believed it missed my radar when it first came out. I was probably too busy drinking myself into a stupor or something). After my husband woke up and noticed I’d been up all night, he took me to bed and tucked me in. Managed about 3 hours, then woke and sat in my pjs watching… you guessed it! The 100.

I’ve been working really fucking hard, not just to make money but on this whole managing multiple mental illnesses without numbing my feelings with booze.

Good night everyone. Hope this post made sense, I’m just about not functioning properly
