Checking in daily to maintain focus #55

Checking in sober. Travel did not go smoothly, but I made it finally to my Mom’s 3 hours later than planned. Had a great fish dinner. Now early to bed. I think I actually coped with the stress today fairly well. A few rants here and to my sisters, but I remained friendly with the workers who were doing the best they could. And I stayed sober. And so thankful I wasn’t hungover today!

Checking in
Day 489
Work was good! Got home and helped hubby so that he could get out the door to do a tattoo. Was a late night for him but hes on his way home now. We are going to order pizza and wings once he gets in. Evening was alright too. Just relaxed with my boy. I also got myself another cake order to do from a returning customer! Excited about this as cakes are my specialty and i love being able to make something beautiful from scratch. I dont work tmrw which i am excited about since its Fathers Day in Canada. Going to try and make it special for my husband. Other than that, nothing much else going on. Just enjoying the day! Hope everyone is having a great day/evening!

I’m sorry you had a rough day! I’m glad you were able to step away and process your emotions and thoughts without giving in! And a book store sounds so calming! Is it a big chain bookstore or a mom n pop one? I could probably open a little book store if i set all of the books i have up :sweat_smile:

@Dolse71 wow! Congratulations on 1000 days!!! Amazing!

@Butterflymoonwoman i am glad you had a good day! You so deserve it! And I’m glad you are able to make more cake orders and do what you really love doing! This makes my heart smile :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

@Juli1 congratulations on 10 days! I’m so proud of you! :heart::people_hugging::heart: Lots of love

@JazzyS much love to you too! From all of us here! You’re always so kind to each one of us, and I know you are appreciated here! I also am “sober today, dealing with life on life’s terms with a clear and positive mind” :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I’ll check in for myself in a sec. Don’t want to delete half of my post checking my timers :sweat_smile:

Edit:

@AyBee Wow! 1500 days! Congratulations! :tada::tada:

Days
251 substance free
168 self harm free
63 not restricting food
2.95 nicotine free

Today I got up early and went to work, then took the kids out and let each of them pick a destination. It turned out well. Then came home and let my little one go around the block with roller skates (first time on them outside!) And she made it 3/4 around before taking them off and walking :smiling_face: pretty proud of her. She didn’t fall !
Then my big girl and I walked around the block again just the two of us and went a little further so we could just chat. If was a nice moment.

I’m almost at the 3 day mark nicotine free. I felt myself getting frustrated a few times today, but just tried to work through it and let go of the negative… I’m trying to focus on positives :relieved:

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

Saturday was very good. Pedalled around town, picked cherries, ate the first new potatoes of the summer, cooled off my feet in the pool that’s part of the monument I played in as a little kid. It used to be dedicated to the 19th century commander of the Dutch Army in the Dutch East Indies -current Indonesia- who fought some bloody ‘pacification campaigns’ there. His commemorative plaque has been removed.

@Dolse71 Yay Paul! Big congrats! It took you a while (1000 days to be exact) to get there but here your are. Excellent work friend.
@AyBee 1500 mate. Not bad hey. Let’s see what your countrymen can do today in celebration :cricket_bat_and_ball:
