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.
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.
Iām so excited for you CJ.
Thatās one milestone that did not give me jitters at all. Many others did. But not that one.
Iām grateful to predict this is going to be the best 2 weeks of your life. Iām so proud of you. Itās been a pleasure and and honor watching you grow and find your freedom. Iām grateful youāre here.
You know we got your back.
Enjoy these 2 weeks to the fullest.
Thatās a pretty cool observation Twizz. I wasnāt sure where you were going with that at the beginning. Iāve seen that too. We are not missing out on anything. It takes a little while to get there. And I think itās a huge realization.
Good for you.
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 Iāll bake a banana bread later.
I donāt have much flour any more so thatās going to beā¦letās sayā¦exciting haha.
I wonāt 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 wonāt create another account for TikTok because I know the first 1-2 weeks are difficult. It wonāt help me to go back. Iāll waste my time again and I donāt want to let this happen.
I hope youāre having a beautiful sober sunday friends, stay strong
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, Iāve 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 itās coming together nicely just on a pause as our drummer is practicing RamadĆ”n, and he wants to wait till itās 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, Iāve been well, works good, even tried the local dating scene, met a lot of nice people, and I was super honest, Iām a busy dude, so if Iām not answering itās not cause Iām ignoring you, itās cause Iām
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, Iām a project, I know that letās take our time and see how this goes, Iād 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
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 itās 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 itās much bigger than we imagined before - it opens to us when we are ready.
So just finished my third meeting this week feel
Like everyday gets that little bit better Iām willing to go to any lengths to get sober and thatās the key I hope everyone is having a good day
Wow thats a powerful observation! Im glad u were able to āseeā things differently and change that craving moment for gratitude and empathy towards those still suffering.
