Checking in sober.

Since my first attempt at quitting booze in May 2022 and the last 8 and a bit months at the second attempt I’ve lost 4 inches off my jeans waist size.

Had to buy new jeans last week. I’m currently breaking them in around the house. :joy:

Checking in on Day 28. This day isn’t going too well really, lots of problems and other people’s problems impacting me. Lots of little things building up and making me want to cry.

As soon as I finish work I have to go swimming to keep my daughter entertained, just really tired and finding the holidays really tough. I have never worked this many hours in the holidays before and not really coping.

Hope to make it to the gym later. Last week after a day like this my chronic fatigue became too much, but really keeping my hopes up as think it would do me good.

I don’t normally like to wallow, but allowing myself 10 minutes of feeling sorry for myself. Sorry for all those also having a hard time. Hope everyone else has a good day.

Sometimes you need a good cry to get the stress off your chest. When i’m overwhelmed with life and stressed out, 10/15 minutes of self care is critical. Even if that means going to the bathroom, putting your hands in the air and taking deep breaths. Put on some headphones and search for relaxing sounds, then play your favorite ‘smile’ songs that make you feel good. Sometimes we can have ‘relief’ moments in the chaos of our lives that makes it easier to keep going. But that Quick Self care/reflection/meditation is critical.

Have a wonderful addiction free my lovely friends - sending much love :heart: :heart:

I can understand your approach. I’ve had the same and this black and white, all or nothing thinking. I am thinking about it a lot. For me I came to the conclusion that it is not helpful when I deal with eating. In the past (long time ago but still) it ended up deleting most most things to eat which over time would have killed me. I might get misunderstood as it’s really confusing in my head. But I feel the more I learn to deal with my feelings, with the thoughts I have, accepting myself, the obsession looses it’s strength. Like having some chips won’t mean unavoidably leading to a full blown binge. But maybe being able to say: I don’t want them in my house, I won’t buy them but when I am out for dinner or invited wherever, it’s okay to eat this.

Checking in on Tuesday. Hell of a day at work so it will be a bath, easy dinner and early bed. Plan on hitting the gym before work tomorrow morning, the early rise is something I just can’t shake just now but I’m quite pleased with that.

Have a good day everyone
