Checking in daily to maintain focus #54

Hi! Quick late 12:30 am check in on DAY 80!

Much better than yesterday, snacked a lot, but did eat dinner. Not very healthy, but dinner none the less. It’s progress.

I took a personal day, didn’t do everything I wanted, but realized I try to do too much, that’s why I fail. So everything I did get done was a win. And have tomorrow off too.

Today overall was good. Going to bed now a little late, but that’s ok! God bless and goodnight all! :hugs: :purple_heart:

We can be as addicted to TS as we like, it’s far healthier than the alternative :upside_down_face:

TS is a great place :heart:

@CATMANCAM ha ha, you saw my numbers :sunglasses: Thank you! Congratulations for the new therapy coming up, that is really great news!!
@RosaCanDo the museum was nice and I wasn’t feeling awkward at all. I noticed different things then I would have with someone else. Next project: cinema.


@zzz breath in, breath out and make a new plan. Looks like you learn a lot that you can use for your recovery. See you in about a week :facepunch:
Sorry about your mother in law being fulnerable right now @Catmama23 . Mine has had many years when she was like that. But finely she got help and therapy. She turns 80 this year and she is doing so much better. What helped back then me is to watch my own bouderies closely and knowing I can not control her actions. I hope there will be some kind of help for her too :pray::people_hugging:

I forced myself to go for a walk yesterday. It is a start. I read posts about post acute withdrawal. I wonder if that is something i have been experiencing also??

#Day 1702 :walking_woman:
Because I had a cold, my ears are not working well. Better said I’m deaf on 1 ear. It’s nothing serious, but it is very anoying :pensive:
Also because the “good” ear that I’ve left is my bad ear :laughing: I hear 60% with it (always).
Ok, there are worse things in life, but it’s difficult and trying to hear stuff is making me tired.
Today? Visiting my mother in law and going for a walk overthere.


My red furry friend want to say hi as well. Got in a catfight yesterday for the first day in her life.
Has 2 scraches on her nose. Glad it wasn’t worse. My first cat died because of a heavy fight and a missed abscess because of it :sob:
Have a good day all! :raising_hand_woman:

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


My four day weekend just started. Group therapy tomorrow. Not sure I want to continue with it. Will have to talk about what I don’t like about it there. Making me anxious already. Also had a nasty deep dental cleaning last night. One more to go next week. So today I can take it easy right. Be with myself, with Luna, and with you lot. We’re in this together. Thanks so much for being here all. Forever in my :heart:
@Marc3 Congrats on reaching double digits and keep going!
@grannyweatherwax Welcome to the check in thread and congrats on 3 days sober Esmerelda! Addiction wants us to believe we have no choice in the matter but we do. Hang with us and let us help you, in the weekend, before and beyond! This place helps because here we help each other, we’re in it together. Hope to see you more of you lady. All success in your sober journey.
@Dmcg1987 All success with your interview David!

@HappyDays Congratulations! :clap::purple_heart::clap:

@Maxwell When we take away our preferred coping strategy, we reach for others, food, shopping, media. Be glad that you have noticed it. So now you can try to reverse the cycle. Do a small positive thing, eating some fresh food, reading something meaningful, and really notice it and give yourself credit for doing it. Once your brain feels satisfaction about something it will want more.

@zzz How about bookmarking this post so you can come back to it if you feel the urge? I did the same to a list of reasons why I didn’t want to drink anymore. It helped me a few times.

@Catmama23 What was the meditation on resentments? I so need to work on this more!

@Cjp I have certainly had times when I used it maybe too much. I definitely consider it a lesser vice tho!

Got some new tires for my rc truck it looks pretty badass if I do say so myself they grip the dirt so good. My rc truck is fast does about 50 mph lol I love it. Need to hit the gym my back and knee are feeling a bit better. Yeah much love everyone.

Mike, help me understand. . . That remote control truck in picture can go 50 miles per hour?

Also, buddy, I know you are dealing with a hard decision. Based on how you work with your higher power and amazing progress so far, I just want you to know that I feel confident if you continue doing that, things will work out.

Do we have a technical thread about the forum status? The forum is really laggy and I want to know if it’s only on my end.

Thank you I certainly am just trying to follow my heart on this. It’s very challenging but you’re right am confident I will do great no matter what. And yes this truck does 50 miles per hour, it can go faster if I put a different battery in it.
