Day 64. I slept so sound and deep last night. I feel very groggy this morning.

I am working from home today again so I am looking forward to the beautiful day.

Now I have to drink some coffee to wake up. :grin:

Day 2, my recent escapades were scary and it wasnā€™t fun any longer. Today Iā€™m not as shaky as I was yesterday and I feel rested. Iā€™m heading to the new job and then an AA meeting afterwards. Best of the day to you all !!!

Days

184 substance free
101 no self harm
147 not restricting food
A few hours in not smoking

This time I have decided Iā€™m just not going to buy them. I am keeping all of my cash at work in a locked safe, and otherwise my cards I am paying down, and bank is for bills. I am preparing to be a grumpy easily frustrated ass for the next few days, but i can do itā€¦
One craving at a time

Stepping out of my comfort zone for sure. I have always struggled to eat at any place on my ownā€¦ Not really alcohol related, but more because of social anxiety. As a result, Iā€™d often just grab a slice of greasy pizza or any other such junk and eat at a park bench or something. Not really healthy at all.

So itā€™s a step forward for me to sit at a proper restaurant with my bottle of water and enjoy my meal with myself and my thoughts.

@Juli1 Always happy to see you keep trying! :purple_heart:

@Bones_80 What is going on (sorry if you said and I missed it!). Hope you feel better soon.

@KellyKelly :coffee: :handshake: Here is a cuppa, no cuddle emoji that I can find, so Iā€™m holding your hand instead

@Merryshoes Sounds great!

Checking in on day 347.
Iā€™ve kept myself busy today with dealing with my home composting system and preparing the soil in the two planters that I have on the roof I have access to. It is said that the microbes in soil are good for mental health, plus thereā€™s all that fresh air as well. Itā€™s been much better weather today after a really rotten day of rain and wind yesterday. Iā€™m about to head out to the shops to get something for dinner.
One day at at time everybody!

Second Check in
I checked my phone multiple times at work today but every time realized ā€œIG and TikTok are gone, damnā€ :sweat_smile: Uuuuuh man.
I have to laugh now about this but actually itā€™s sad that this has such a power.
My coworkers realized that I deleted both and went ā€œNo, but why? Itā€™s so fun!ā€
Sheā€™ll keep on trying to pull me back. She even showed me some videos that she had on her feed. Sad ones actually about another human being having a rough time. I asked her why she watches this? She couldnā€™t respond, she didnā€™t know.
Made me think.
Now rushing home in a full train with wet folks because itā€™s pouring outside :sob:

Day 0

I will keep on reporting this shit as long as the numbers will rise finally. Sorry if you think ā€œouh girlā€ā€¦ I will keep trying!

Thanks for everyone that is still believing in me.

I remembered what helped me despite of taking care of my fundamentals (eat, sleep, move, nap)ā€¦

It was ā€œsplitscreen method / playing tape forwardā€ and" allowing every (!) action that is necessary to stay sober. No matter how quirky it might be"

Furthermore i will add some social interaction to my fundamentals.

Much love :black_heart:

Thanks @Juli1 :blush:! Itā€™s true that nothing changes if nothing changes. Itā€™s good you know what works for you. Iā€™m learning that ā€œworkā€ is the key. I canā€™t get too comfortable. Sobriety is a lifelong commitment.
