Checking in daily to maintain focus #56

I’m here, I’m alive and I’m sober.
Day 26.

It’s raining, still. Said to be extremely heavy rain this week.

And I think my phone is going to break pretty soon.
It’s been acting strange for a while, not charging properly, glitching and draining battery for no reason.

Today it’s glitch repeatedly, screen is blinking even with screensaver on. And there’s a strange line on my screen that’s not supposed to be there.

It’s pretty old so no wonder if it stops working. But the problems with getting a new phone a new bank id (you personally have to go to the bank to install it,and my bank is mainly online so they don’t have an office) is enough for me not wanting to get a new phone in at least a hundred years.

Besides that, nothing to report.
Except for the other small issue, my coffee has stopped tasting good actually it tastes horrible, so I’m planning on switching to tea instead.
Wish me luck :smiling_face:

Checking in on the morning of day 181 sober. Yesterday was 6 months and life without alcohol seems so normal that I didn’t realize it was my six month mark the entire day.

That is a large part the result of this community.

Exactly! And taking care of us.
Called a pharmacy this morning, I’ll start medication today instead of mid week :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
I’m so excited :smiling_face:

Ok all, today is day 27 for me. I’m feeling good about this, but also feeling pretty lonely and scared about my husband. I already posted a thread a while back about living with someone who suffers from PTSD. So I won’t take up any more space with it here. Just bummed, and walking on eggshells, trying to soldier on.

@Pattycake im sorry you feel like you have to walk on eggshells. Would your partner consider therapy?

Sadly, no. He did a long time ago when first diagnosed, but won’t do it now.

Just checking in. Been a wild year. I had to restart my counter. I don’t want to feel like I’m losing control of myself again. I never want to go back to that. So I’m here being transparent and honest with the decisions I’ve made. I need more sober days.

I’m getting there

Thats tough. Can you talk with someone and work on setting healthy boundaries so you can feel comfortable in your shared space?

Thanks, Cjp. I do have counseling and it helps. Always been crappy with setting boundaries, and being too emotional about things. There is no physical danger. Emotional hypersensitivity, depression, anxiety,

Days PMO free: Day 4
Days with PS5 in the closet to close the day: 12
Days went to bed the same time with my wife: 12
Days i dont take my phone into that room at night: 4

Great weekend. Trying to clean up the little things/big things in my life. Last week i gamed 2 hours in one week. Represents my lowest in 2023. Each night i put it in the closet and went to bed with my wife, killing 2 birds with one stone. Got my highest sleep score of 2023 on saturday. Toxic levels pretty much at a 1 all weekend, so i’m thankful for that. Nutritionist put me on a new eating plan for more protein a day and i’m sticking to it. But as many of you know, consistency is always an issue with me. But i have hope. I"m making changes to be 1% better every day and a clear vision of how i can string weeks together again. I’ve laid out my 7 day plan this morning for Integrity and Weight loss so now it’s just about sticking to it and avoiding ‘Cured’ Behavior, as in, oh i’m like normal people i’m good let’s get on social media/youtube. Nope. That’s not me and can’t ever be me. Remaining Self Aware at all times is a top strategy for me in my inner struggle. But real war is Being Self Aware vs being Self Absorbed. That’s a work in progress, but were getting there.

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening all!
