Donā€™t discount your current and future success by getting lost in where you were in the past. Everyone has bad days and arguments with a significant otherā€¦

Day 318 nice weather is making things hard. Idk if I can do another summer away from my girls. There is still no confirmation on when Iā€™ll be getting my apartment or if I even am. Iā€™m trying to just take it one day at a time, but this is a bit challenging. Much love

Day :five:

Still feeling kind of weaklishā€¦

Was driving quite lazy half day. On lunch break I ate doner kebab :burrito: and fell asleep so hard I overslept for 14 minutes and one truck overtaked me on one lap :sweat_smile:
Also on Friday they like to finish works earlier and dont like to load cargo on last hour.

Now pushing pedal to the metal I need to spin those kilometers :grimacing:

Checking in on day 349.
I had two sleepless nights in a row this week for no particular reason, so I took some prescribed medication last night and slept like a baby. Iā€™m feeling a little groggy this morning but nothing that will hold me back. I did have a drinking dream over night. Itā€™s always a relief to wake up and realise itā€™s just a dream.
Have a good day everyone!

I wonder that tooā€¦ do they have fewer or less intense bad feelings, or are they just better at managing them?! And right on about me probably putting off awkward vibes and @Cjp you are right too about sharing (I havenā€™t done that yet). I have to remember this all takes time and Iā€™m trying to undo two decades of unhealthy patterns. It wonā€™t happen in a few weeks or maybe even a few years. This is why one day at a time is so important - when I get overwhelmed or sad or angry itā€™s often because Iā€™ve either been nursing expectations that were failed or because Iā€™ve slipped into thinking about the future or the past.

@Deelzebub i had another drinking dream last night too (the third in as many weeks). Like a good addict I thought wouldnt it be nice to bottle up that relief feeling when I wake up to have for later :joy::joy::joy:

Day :five:.5 :goat:

So at the end of the day I delivered even 1 more cargo that usual at work :articulated_lorry:
What they put in those kebabs? :burrito: :sweat_smile: ehm


Just after workout. Feeling superb! That hurrying up and pushing forward really helped to get out of that stagnation. At the end of the day I can say that I know I am ruled by planet Venus and especially Mars - Th Fire

:fire:

Iā€™ve been told that movement and pushing forward is very important to me. Itā€™s like I do charge by movement. I also have lilith Moon in Moon. That means no alcohol for me. Combining those things really brings me in the places I donā€™t want to be and I go against my sort of ā€œcosmic natureā€.

Feeling peace now :night_with_stars: :smiling_face:

Have a good evening, Friends :star:

Day 14 Two Weeks Woot Woot!
Sleep is all over the placeā€¦I had THREE drinking nightmares last night! Itā€™s that damn addict part of my brain torturing me :roll_eyes:. But Iā€™m not gonna let it win. I feel so much better not drinking. I still have a shitload of problems to deal with, but my self-esteem/self-worth is so much better when Iā€™m sober.

Over 24hours no weed
161 days no alcohol

My wifey had enough of me smoking weed and she did me a solid; she got rid of her whole stash

At first I said she didnā€™t need to do it for me but she resisted which was very helpful

Finally no weed in the house

Checking in day 222! Feels like a good luck number :four_leaf_clover: Iā€™m not feeling well, but starting to think it could be psychosomatic since Iā€™ve been a bit depressed and burnt out at work. Considering a job change because my current hours donā€™t feel sustainable, but would need something that at least matches the salary which isnā€™t super common in my profession but weā€™ll see. Been working through the depression and burn out in therapy but just considering the change as another help. Continuing to try to set the life I want since I have the gift of sobriety to help me.

Hope you all have a fantastic sober Friday! :heart:
