Checking in daily to maintain focus #53

Checking in day 350 free from weed and alcohol. Countdown to one whole fucking year sober. I have a healthy fear that one bad choice can lead me to lose all my forward progress. I must remain committed to recovery.

I hope i dont get milestone jitters

Amazing! Keep focused on ODAAT and you will continue to do awesome things.
One year jitters are a legit phenomenon and have tripped some people up.
Keep up that healthy fear and you should be just fine. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Iā€™m so excited for you CJ.
Thatā€™s one milestone that did not give me jitters at all. Many others did. But not that one.
Iā€™m grateful to predict this is going to be the best 2 weeks of your life. Iā€™m so proud of you. Itā€™s been a pleasure and and honor watching you grow and find your freedom. Iā€™m grateful youā€™re here.
:pray:t2::heart::hugs:
You know we got your back.
Enjoy these 2 weeks to the fullest.

Thatā€™s a pretty cool observation Twizz. I wasnā€™t sure where you were going with that at the beginning. Iā€™ve seen that too. We are not missing out on anything. It takes a little while to get there. And I think itā€™s a huge realization.
Good for you.
:pray:t2::heart::hugs:
Oh. And congrats on 563 :white_check_mark:

Day 197 alcoholfree
Day 5 social media free

I did 2 sets of laundry and made a decent meal. I have 3 bananas that literally scream to be eaten haha so I think Iā€™ll bake a banana bread later.
I donā€™t have much flour any more so thatā€™s going to beā€¦letā€™s sayā€¦exciting haha.
I wonā€™t lie, I badly crave TikTok today. It was okay yesterday but today? Unbelievable how strong the urge is. Instagram not at all although a coworker married and I kinda wanna see the pictures.
I wonā€™t create another account for TikTok because I know the first 1-2 weeks are difficult. It wonā€™t help me to go back. Iā€™ll waste my time again and I donā€™t want to let this happen.
I hope youā€™re having a beautiful sober sunday friends, stay strong :kissing_heart::muscle:

Doing the check in thing cause Iā€™m
Slacking

Monday I played my show, and it was a disappointment, so after some discussion I decided to leave the group, amicably, it hits weird though, Iā€™ve been fired from hired sessions and live acts for my stupidity, but something I built falling apart kinda disappointed me. But it was for the best my vision for the music Vs theirs was totally different it was losing its luster playing started feeling like a Chore. So no hard feelings were all still in touch.

But one door closed and about 20 opened. Been working on a new album with my other group, and itā€™s coming together nicely just on a pause as our drummer is practicing RamadĆ”n, and he wants to wait till itā€™s over to be at full focus

I got two potential hired gigs, one in NY and one in KY, both for large festivals. Just trying to work on details and such,

Other than that, Iā€™ve been well, works good, even tried the local dating scene, met a lot of nice people, and I was super honest, Iā€™m a busy dude, so if Iā€™m not answering itā€™s not cause Iā€™m ignoring you, itā€™s cause Iā€™m
Probably working on something most some are like meh I need someone on top of me all the time, others are like cool, I respect that. I made the mistake of rushing into relationships too many times to end up in a shitty situation at the end, Iā€™m a project, I know that letā€™s take our time and see how this goes, Iā€™d rather unconditionally be loved by one vs adored by many. New apartment looking like home to me. I need my space Yano roommates are great but eh, it gets old after a while

Happy to see you all checking in, doing well and making a go of sobriety it looks good on you

Day :seven: :scorpion:

Know Thyself

So I am going into 12 days Solar Return before and after.

Today had a lot to learn and test myself. Also had strong provocation to drink, but I reminded to myself - I am on the Path and itā€™s just makes purpose by itself.
As Jordan Peterson talked on 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos - there is a Chaos - Darkness and We creating that Antidote by ourselves / more precisely / - Through ourselves - releasing that light into this chaos and darkness. We have to live our life - not just subsist - Live Life and see that itā€™s much bigger than we imagined before - it opens to us when we are ready.
