Congratulations on 6 months of sobriety.
Just made it home from this weeks business trip. It was a good trip. Iām glad to be home!
Day 45 AF
Thx Olivia I appreciate it!
Day 32. Had another crummy day after a string of crummy days! Reading through this thread it feels like it hasnāt been easy lately for a lot of us. All I will say is Iām grateful for you all and there was a moment today when I saw two geese fighting right outside my window and then one took a big poop and it just was a moment of humor in an otherwise humorless day. I dunno maybe Iām losing my mind well Iām not drinking today and thatās good enough for me. Wishing all of you a good rest of your day
No I havenāt done it this year. But I will now, thank you for the reminder. I like to watch the owls
Been struggling a lot lately.
On day 21. Had a good productive day today after a possible trigger evening the night before. so glad I wasnāt triggered and rewarded myself with doing loads of self care jobs. Onwards and upwards
@Alycia Iām so sorry about the WFH being taken away temporarily hoping you can get signed off ASAP
@Butterflymoonwoman Iām sorry youāre struggling, it sounds like you really need to give yourself a break, do you get paid holiday from work, could you take a weekend off? Sending strength and a hug
@Markjackson feel better soon
@farhad_2002 welcome congrats on double digits
@icebear wow youāre seeing the Northern Lights!? Thatās on my Bucket List. Congrats on 650 days
@SGC1522 Iām sorry things are hard right now sending strength
@SoberGuyUSA congrats on 1700 days
@Lola good luck for the test
@Cp25 congrats on 6 months and your new PB
@runner sending strength
956 days no alcohol.
421 days no cocaine.
43 days no vape.
2 days no binge-eating.
Hope is restored. I was able to say no when the evil voice wanted to binge last night, for long enough until I fell asleep. Woke up at 2am with my phone on my chest, my SAD lamp still on, and a pounding migraine. Was awake for a few hours after that, occupying myself with the Pokemon game I play.
Did my walks and meditations. It only rained in the last 2 mins of my afternoon walk, so no rain poncho today!
Itās nice to have my usual amount of energy back.
Iām feeling very restless and impulsive, as this is day 2 of 11 where the only thing in my calendar is a nurse phonecall on Tuesday. Itās very weird!
Wishing you all wonderful sober weekends.
Congrats on 3 weeks
Hope you are ok
Day 46 afā¦did walking and reading today. Thankful for another day.
Day 76. Met my favorite coworker for coffee this morning. Excited she got a promotion so sheās not apt to leave the company any time soon. Day was okay except a headache all day. Glad itās the weekend. I just wish my sleep was better.
Hey I know Iām a day late but I just wanted to say that I think youāre pretty amazing and I think that this tough patch will eventually pass. Sometimes we feel like we have to fix everything and the fact that we canāt even seem to function ourselves only takes us down a notch which means stepping back becomes the pragmatic option (even if the problem is depression induced lethary). My overly simplistic advice would be to try to let go as much as you can, especially the self judgment. I think you are a go-getter and an achiever by Nature and I believe that that will shine through, but dont waste your talents struggling in quicksand. Sometimes steel just has to sit in the furance and cook, sweat and suffer till its the right time to strike. Sounds like your in a furance all right and i pray for strength to you and i have faith you will strike when the time is right breaking this mold like you have so many in the past to be an even better you. Take care
Thanks cjp. Im kinda spooked about my healthā¦but i will control what i can control
ā¦and try to be smart about diet and excercise. Even more reason to keep sober now.
I am glad you are back in here and you got your days sober correct.
ā¦thanks!!!
Night 327.
