Day 93.
This morning I realised I have this one terrible habit I really need to start working on. When I feel like shit, I somehow end up doing something that makes me feel even worse. Take this morning; I feel like death warmed up from this stupid cold, so I went ahead and read the news, also known as the petri dish of anxiety. Now I feel like shit AND I have anxiety. How awesome is that?
Anyway, Iāve had enough of everything. Iām going for a nap.

I used to read the news constantly!! It was a big trigger for anxiety for me and going out. I donāt watch or read the news anymore and that intense fear hardly hits me anymore. It can be annoying not being up-to-date or only hearing from family about important news but Iām happy with that.
Hope that feeling subsides for you quickly and your doing amazing on your 93 days

Absolutely! I tend to just limit my news exposure to once or twice a week when Iām feeling ready for it. In the past, I tried avoiding it altogether, but then got in this weird paranoid state where Iād assume my husband was hiding something really bad from me and I would ask him 100 questionsā¦ Itās a balancing act.
A few years back, I had to quit one of my freelance gigs because it was a news outlet and the constant exposure to headlines messed with my head. I was in a permanent state of panic. Not healthy at all.

Back to some routine after few weeks off work actually looking foward to it to keep my mind busy.
Back to the gym this evening after a week off. The gym is my happy place and helps massively with my mental health.
Yesterday applied for help online to support my mental health.
Still feeling drained cant wait to feel fresh again.
Doing this for myself and my children.

Day 1418 sober
Been in abit of a funk today so I tried to let go of what wasnāt important on my to-do list and just take it alittle easy.
Think I might go to a meeting this week as my head is swimming with so many thoughts, I somehow always find peace when I sit in the rooms. I also sometimes need to remind myself that being sober doesnāt make my life perfect, it can still challenge and frustrate the crap out of me 
Itās 8pm now, and I can at least feel good knowing that my head will be hitting the pillow sober tonight. And thatās a win Iām happy to take

Day 5
Covid sucks. 
Itās a hard timeā¦
My throught hurts so badly.
My brain and thoughts are slow and messy.
Taking lot of care of myself of cause.
I donāt like meds, prefer household remedies more. Doing all this stuff, but I took some ibuprofen too.
Will cook some steamed veggies with tofu now.
Had a milestone today, but I just thought I wonāt highlight them too much this time, as this might be triggering too.
Think passing through Covid and the renovated appartement / lil house is a real good new start.
Much love

Day 
Absurdus.
Itās just so unlucky day that actually I am starting to laugh because the amount of circumstances clearly shows that itās just impossible to call it coincidence. It feels like someone up there making fun of me and I said OKā¦ I get itā¦ maybe it calls me to learn to calm down even on situations like this. I calmed down, put my truck in garage and said I will not run as crazy, riskingā¦ You can be mad, scream on me. Safety first. I am calm, I am not doing anything bad. Yes cargo is postponed. I am not delivering it, someone are mad, but I just donāt give a ****. Doing whatās needs to be done. By rules. By cosmic rules. Angry people donāt want to make it by rules? Itās their problem.
Day 1 Quiting smoking cigarettes. Pointing cigarettes, because I feel not ready to quit Cigars. I like to light one time to time. Like few per years or on special occasions.

Morning guys checking in on a rainy Monday morning. I worked all weekend so today is actually Wednesday which is nice. I really have no plans for today other than finishing work going to meeting around five and than just probably hang out and watch baseball or something.
@Juli1 Feel better buddy. 
@CATMANCAM I know youāre struggling a little bit with the bingeing, but youāre killing it with your other addiction numbers. I really have no doubt youāll beat this one too.

I feel that. When Covid started I was on Twitter sucking up the news constantly, made me sick.
Now no social media except this forum.
The radio in our office is running the whole day but itās different, that doesnāt make me nervous. And I often ignore it because I wear headphones at work
