Ugh totally exhausted
I got out of work at 10pm
Made it back here at 9:30 then starting at 10am

Today is going to be tough I think
Iā€™m just going to take it slow and do what I need to do

If I smoked weed still and if I did it this morning, the anxiety would be so bad. I can totally imagine what Iā€™d be feeling right now. Iā€™d feel so out of place. I have a bit of anxiety and my belly is pretty crazy. I ainā€™t giving up

Take care everyone

Day 254

Another hot day in Germany :hot_face::face_with_spiral_eyes:
Going to walk some km today again. Not as many as I usually would because itā€™s hot AND I wanna try my kettlebell later.

Work was okay, one coworker is on vacation and another one, the one who already quit and has her last week this week, behaves like nothing bothers her any more. That shows the true character of someone and my intuition I had about her was right, again.

I wonā€™t cook, itā€™s too hot. Going to order something delicious today :yum: Donā€™t know what yet, but there will definitely be a dessert after. A restaurant I often order from does a fantastic tiramisu without alcohol.

Iā€™m still chatting with Nik. It might not become something romantic but he still is a good guy and we like each other. So we both won a friend, worth a lot these days.

Thatā€™s it for now, have a beautiful sober day friends and stay strong :muscle::kissing_heart:

Edit: kettlebell hahahahaā€¦nope. Too hot.

First day in another class was super fun! I a lot enjoyed it. This class makes me feel better honestly. :grin:
After school I met my boyfriend and we went to one shop with tayakisā€¦ it tasted a lot good!! Matcha ice cream is SOOO FUCKING good, I swear! (is anyone here who loves matcha as well?) :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Day 484
Day has been good! Really busy though. I got phone calls done that needed to get done. Did a big grocery shop. Worked out and have stayed focused (so far) on healthy eating today. I started the Couch to 5k program and managed to get thru the first day. Yay! Things are good overall. No complaints here. Going to work on my cupcake toppers now and get another set of 6 done (i need 48 of them and i only have 24 done so far). Other than that, i am just waiting for my son to get home from school.
Hope everyone is doing okay today. ODAAT

Checking in sober. Should be working but canā€™t focus. After a couple days of feeling a bit better, the depression hit hard again starting yesterday. Iā€™ve already been out for a walk today and trying to take of myself. Trying not to get caught in the negative thought spirals. But I keep thinking I should feel better. I know, ā€œshouldā€ statements arenā€™t helpful. I feel what I feel. It just sucks.

@WCan congrats on quadruple digits :tada:
@JazzyS thank you friend :blush:šŸ©µ

1036 days no alcohol.
501 days no cocaine.
16 days no vape.
14 days no binge-eating.

Today has been peaceful. I did my usual things, and also went to the opticians to get my new glasses and sunglasses adjusted as they were cutting into my ear and itā€™s very sore, I had to wait a long time as they were very busy, so being around all those people with my social anxiety was exhausting, Iā€™m glad to be home now.m, and my glasses do feel like they are fitting me better, so it Wass worth it atleast.

Tomorrow I have a short meeting with a company that holds social events for neurodiverse people, to help people make connections, friendships, and romantic if desired, and supports those connections by arranging supervised 1:1 meet ups. Giving it a try!

Checking in day8

Good evening family hope everyone had a great day and is feeling good

Monday is day off from work and had a unusually productive Monday usually I would take Monday to be depressed of my head after the piss up Iā€™d be having having the weekend well not today.

Got up just after 9am tidyied the bedroom cleaned the house downstairs and started dinner prep to shock the Mrs when she got home :joy:

I then got ready and went to see my grandmother and we went over to the graveyard to tidy up my grandfatherā€™s grave. After this we went for some lunch before I took her home.

I then came home cleaned the car inside and outside then cooked the dinner for believe it or not the first time ever to suprise the Mrs. I listened to some music for 20 mins after dinner and then another chapters of my book and I am just going heading to bed now to watch a bit of telly and relaxā€¦

Overall iam felling great today head is really clear have a lot of energy and just feeling really positive about life right now :slightly_smiling_face:

Day 149.

Second update. The day actually went well, everyone had a nice time on the hike and I managed to steal some time away chatting with my mom. Iā€™m making a point of avoiding them in the evenings, drunken night time chats are not my cup of tea these days. Chamomile with lemon and honey is.

I was also wrong in assuming my mom told them about my recovery. She didnā€™t and I was offered booze at the table today. A few times. It was fine tho, I was more than comfortable saying ā€˜no, thank youā€™ and made sure I had my nice flavored sparky waters in front of me at all times.

Iā€™m also a lot less triggered. Like I finally settled into having them around, and I found a good new morning routine with a kick-ass meditation spot.

Tomorrow I actually have a full day with no work on, so Iā€™m gonna head to the beach. Itā€™s gonna be me, my new book and a few cans of San Pelegrino.

6 days AF. Today I focused on doing the next right thing and gratitude. Iā€™m grateful my work calls went well. I hit a wall and let go of all the things I was supposed to get done - itā€™s ok. It will get figured out. Not going to push myself. Texted a fellow alcoholic and read more of ā€œThis Naked Mindā€. This book promises big things - it will cure my addiction, for example. Weā€™ll seeā€¦ (!)ā€¦I do appreciate the influx of info and examples to help undo my subconscious conditioning.

This time last week I had just started my binge (12 shots of vodka). Not today. Not ever again. Iā€™m grateful to be given new chances but Iā€™m not gonna keep testing how many are left. Peace :peace_symbol:
