Checking in daily to maintain focus #53

Today was a awesome day.

Had a really good job interview and scheduled another one for tomorrow.

Walking home i seen that Who’s Live Anyway is preforming at a theater around the corner from me on my day off next week.

There was only a handful of not so great tickets left, but i bought one anyway. I forgot to unfreeze my card before i bought it and it screwed up my purchase. I walked around the corner and told the ticket person what happened. Not only did i get my ticket, but he pointed at the seating chart at the 3rd row and said “want to sit here for no extra charge?”

And my sober time app just reminded me im 2 weeks sober today.

Today was pretty damn good.

Day 13. Went for a walk. Ate healthy meals. I haven’t been sleeping enough…I keep waking up and can’t fall back to sleep. I’m just so TIRED, which makes me grumpy lol. I’m going to bed early tonight. Water, Coke zero, and some lemon with ginger and turmeric tea were my beverages today. Night night everyone! :zzz::sleeping::zzz:

Another day, another day, and another day. Not really sure how herniated discs heal but whatever it’s doing is feeling better. Today was the first day in IDK literally how long that I didn’t start leaning/hunching forward towards the end of the day. I probably would not have taken this seriously if I could still just get really zonked out on PMO and pretend it’ll just go away on its own, or gotten addicted to pain medicine in addition to everything. Could have even ruined our wedding plans if I neglected things further and sunk deeper into analgesics.
Good day today. To everyone who can hardly see their hand in front of their face, let alone the future, just fucking hang in there.

Checking in with 44 days AF.
Early morning spin class tomorrow morning, so off to “sleep”. I wish. How I wish my (lack of consistent) sleep wasn’t more difficult than my sobriety. It definitely lead to drink choices in the past, knowing that I wouldn’t lay awake if I had a few (many). And no, it was never good the next day, not real rest. Other than my anxiety for the time was rested.
Anyway, I am working on my sleep issues SO much. Really really trying. Hard. Without drinking more than tea.
Take care all!

#Day 1669 :walking_woman:
Had such a nice day yesterday!
Relaxed in the morning, doing nothing but drinking coffee and reading the news.
Catching up with a friend later in the woods for a walk and a fresh pepperminth tea at a terras in the sun. And walked back home alone because I wanted to.


In the street from the picture above I used to live as a student. I hired a room as a lot of students do. Not in this house by the way, but I passed by it and it caught my eye.
This house needs some tender loving care. When I saw it I thought: If I would win a few million, I would like to buy this house and make it shine again!!
That’s what I do a lot during my walks: dreaming.
Let my mind float on easy thoughts. I like it and it calms me down and uplift my spirit.
Such a huge part of my recovery: walking :walking_woman:
How’s Berlin sober @Mno ? :wink:

Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love from Berlin.


Had a great first afternoon/evening/night here. Met @Faugxh, we hiked, we biked, we drank coffee, we ate, we saw some sights and we talked. It was great.
Now having coffee and planning some more activities after a pretty good night of sleep. Meeting another TS person is on. So far my sober Berlin tour is going excellent.
Pic is me at the Soviet war memorial in former East Berlin. X
@Amy30 Big congrats Amy! Very glad to see you and your sobriety this morning.

I think many, if not all, people on here can relate to that. Having these bad feelings about yourself and not being able to bear them. I wonder, do non-addicts just not have the bad feelings? Or do they just deal with them? Both sound unbelievable.
And making friends as an adult is hard. People do make groups. It can be difficult to get accepted into a group. It can take time Additionally, if you are feeling awkward yourself, you may cling to people you already know, and struggle to be friendly. I had a couple of these experiences at work today. I can only sympathize.

Day 2 checking in

Woke up with this thought “oh god did I drink again last night?” answer was “NO”.

I will leave my apartment until noon and stay at my parents over weekend. I’m having my apartment renovated, the floor is being relaid on the lower floor. I am leaving the chaos… It will take until Sunday. Will leave some snacks and drinks for the workers.

It’s relaxing at my parents, they don’t drink anything and we will have a good time, gardening, cooking, chilling, laughing. But changing my environment is a bit triggering sometimes. Anyway there is a pool too and I will have my swim bag with me.

Have a good weekend…
I will checkin again :panda_face::call_me_hand:t2:
Love :black_heart:
