Checking in daily to maintain focus #56

Thank you so much, my group said it’s a part of healing and letting go of my old life. It will cause anger and lots of uncomfortable feelings I’ve suppressed. But, I want this. I want to never not be in control again.

Do virtual. You’re early sobriety and pretty depressed. Get comfy and do whatever you need to do to focus on recovery and feel safe. Your post sounded like my bottom.

Checking in on day… i have not the faintest idea since i stopped counting my days many many moons ago.

Hi TS fam :laughing: just here for the day for a special guest appearance lol.

Im having a read through the threads to see how everyone has been etc…

It makes me so happy to see all my favourite ts humans are still here fighting the good fight like the legends you all so dearly are :smiling_face:

Its peak winter here in OZ. Currently wrapped in my electric blanket on couch about to start the new season 3 of the witcher. God love him and his deep hypnotising witcher voice lol :laughing: ladies am i right lol ?!? :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Lifes great. All is well. Luca is well and kicking. Home is warm and cozy and wintery. Work is good.

Most importantly my sobriety is alive and strong. Nothing better than the feeling of possibilities ans opportunities and happiness. That is what sobriety rewards me with. And im forever grateful every single day for the person ive become this many years comitted. Time flies when your living life by choice and not by survival.

Love you all. Miss you all ! :kissing_heart:

That’ll get better within the next few weeks, as your body and mind need to get used to falling asleep without any substances shutting you down. Luckily, this happens automatically, but it might be a little uncomfortable for the moment. I used Melatonin to fall asleep easier and it helped a lot. All the best on your way to a better life :ok_hand:t3:!

My 5 day mini vacation has started. Yay! Beautiful weather, going to get out there a bit and enjoy it. Visit my aunt and uncle (and their kitties) that I haven’t seen for quite a while, and do a little bike tour. Just enjoy my day. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love.
Pic is of the rental bikes I use each work day in Utrecht. Not today! X

Day 26. went to see mission impossible last night which was great.
Still feeling a bit flat and tired. Off tomoro so hopefully some down time will help

Feeling quite humble about things and self confidence a bit flat. Work is good, home is good, i think i am just processing things

We are here for you Frances, there are survivors here who care . We’ve been there too.
Exercise helped me cope for a decade but in the end community is what helped me , good fit sponsor and luckily for me a super patient SO.
Sorry you are in a rough patch just now . Progress not perfection and keep up in person meetings and trust me that Higher Power is our Loving True Parent ( as they say in Adult children of alcoholics 12 step)
Keep checking in and I’d say meditate on some slogans that have some pull for you.
Mine is : (one of) reality is in the present moment , ground yourself in the present and look for the good , lots of small good things can be found . Big hugs to you, Owen :person_in_lotus_position::+1::heart::pray: :hugs:

Few days ago I started watching Witcher season 3 but didn’t know wtf is going on. Guess I’ve seen season 2 drunk and I don’t remember much.

I miss school and playgroup (not mine, my kiddos :wink:), vacations exhausting when you are stay home parent. But I’m happy I’m sober, I’m all for them, not hangovered, without beer or wine hide in coffee mug.
Happy to have my life back.
And it seems like I’m getting my waist back as well, thanks to July Fit Chellenge and evening jogging.
Thank you guys, love ya!

Day 2 and feeling good. The sun is shining, I get to go to work today and I get to spend my time later working in the garden. All AF and blessed to move on without the poison.

I say get to go to work as I have really neglected somethings over the years and feel lucky I’m still in a job.

Have a great day all
