I just love how my Training Log looks. I remember I used to have like 3 Notebooks (2 of them full / 1 ongoing) all with my Running workout logs since 2012 or 2013. Detailed, with colors and a lot of information like: type of run, air temperature, clothes, heart rate, feelings on load, mileage, PRās, goals. I loved to fill them. So now I kind of started to do it right here. My right hand is after two surgeries and half numb, so actually I have quite of a trouble drawing straight lines and my writing pattern look terrible since I only use my little finger, ring finger and thumb for most of the operations. My index finger and middle finger is almost unusable.

Thank you Jasmine. I appreciate all of the support I have here. Itās helped me to remain on track.
My DIL is not the first toxic person Iāve dealt with and Iām sure she will not be the last. Both her and my son are actively using so reasoning with them is not possible.
@Englishd I agree with Both of You. As @Amy30 says there are not all sobriety stories are linear and all are different. It tooked some time for me to understand @Englishd a little bit, his own story helped me a bit
as he said how he always tried to look for the other guys who tend to be reliable in sobriety, not tend to fall into relapse train. I now starting to get this and this is very important and as much as I can agree with You @Amy30 - on the other hand I need to defend @Englishd for his attitude.
Some people really need to get they **sses kicked, especially for folks stubborn like me.
I think for everyone their own. As we all are different we all can find what fits for us. We are like family tho; so I guess here I need to agree with @Amy30 we also need respect each other and try not to insult one another. Maybe, sometimes when we are truly honest it is not so easy to do, and sometimes I prefer honest insult than friendly praise. I remember many times when my addict mind was trying to trick me out there was indeed a @Englishd avatar flashing in front of me like a lighthouse during stormy winter. Ok, enough praising that bastard there was some moments Derek insulted me (like for example criticizing some things not related to sobriety in not acceptable manner), but I forgived him.
1093 days no alcohol.
558 days no cocaine.
73 days no vape.
So today I investigated my leg pain, and itās not actually my calf thatās hurting, itās my Achilles tendon. Iāve been looking online and it said the R.I.C.E self-help is best, so thatās what Iāve been doing today. (Rest.Ice.Compression.Elevation). I will continue with this for a few days and see how things are, really hoping it settles but the pain is bad at the moment. Itās difficult just walking a few steps to the kitchen and bathroom, and when I take my weight back off it, it starts pounding and feels like itās going to explode.
Iāve done my usual routine things, finished the book I was reading, did my meditations, and did 42mins of colouring whilst listening to two chapters of the audiobook Iām listening to.
Iāve accepted that I canāt go for my walks at the moment, and now, Iām just really hoping my injury settles down, so I can get back out there.
Thank you @CATMANCAM and @JazzyS Iām grateful to be sober today. I might even be grateful to be an alcoholic because itās challenging me to be a better person and discover what it means to LIVE. Always appreciate the support on this forum and resilience that shines through each story.
Checking in SAF. Seemed like a quick day. Worked till around 3, took the bike out a while, and than made dinner before wife got home from work. Than just sat around reading a little bit, almost done This Naked Mind, Iāll find another one after that. Going to bed early tonight, I just feel whooped. Have a great night guys
Part of your regular routine is vaping. Are you mixing up your routine? Walk Boscoe at a different time of day. Eat in a different room. Sit in a different chair. Shower or bathe at a different time of day. Sleep on hubbyās side of the bed. Drive a different route to work. Fuck with that routine brain of yours for a week or so. Drink coffee with your other hand. Etcā¦ā¦
That helped me so much. And it was fun.
Are you sucking on a straw?
That post could have been written by me and like me here you still are, still trying to quitā¦ Iāll be 3 years next month ( odaat )
āAre these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled among usāsometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them.ā
