Checking in daily to maintain focus #58

It’s 1.30 am in London UK and I’m here checking in day 3 very very late! Or early? What a bloody day, won’t bore you with details but it was a stinker and shockingly stressful. Instead, I’ve done relentless chores, helped in a major way with someones health-care needs and emergency hospital visits and cooked three different teas (pasta, corned beef hash and Thai basil pork stir fry, if interested). Drank water and tea and a soft pop. Even watched some shit the old lady put on my TV after her hospital visit, eating her freshly cooked pasta :rofl::rofl:. I am wired but didn’t give in. Didn’t even feel any urges or wants. Maybe for vape only / nicotine… Need to sleep at some point.

Checking in at 1 month and 22 days! I’m finding it easier to stay sober as time goes on. Time just kinda passes now and I spend less time counting how many days I’ve been sober. I went for some blood work today though and I’m pretty nervous about what my results will be :confused:

thank you♥️ first off I’m sorry you know how that feels but I’m glad you understand. it’s such a hard thing to describe to people, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone but Iwish they’d understand. you’re right food and water is what Ineed to work on. now that I know I’m not gonna be working for a while I’ve been stressing myself out about all the things I “should” be filling my time with. food and water is gonna be my priority

@1in8billion hows it going friend?

Checking in on Wednesday evening
266 days free of alcohol and weed
681 days free of cigarettes
Got a lot of small jobs completed and caught up with accounts. Made plans for Saturday night to host game night. I feel like even if i can’t move much I should be able to enjoy some fun and games. Looking forward to socializing. My PT was interesting today - ended session with a moist hot pack for 10 min. It felt heavenly at the moment - all my pain was numb for like almost 2 hours. Unfortunately it got much worse once the effect lifted. Luckily i won’t have to go back till Monday so I will have some time to recoup from this session. Hoping everyone has a wonderful addiction free day / night. Sending you all so much love :heart: :heart:

Today is day one for me and I’m feeling a bit nervous about facing my issues. But I’m trying to do things differently this time by reaching out to community.

Not too much of a day. Didn’t sleep great so I layed back down for a couple hours. Got into a movie while eating lunch and then had to get ready for work. Turning on the tv was my first mistake. My biggest demotivator is technology. It’s so easy to get lost and lose time.

I just found out the exterminator is coming tomorrow afternoon. I’ll probably get a burst of power cleaning energy in the morning to neaten it up a bit. I’ve got some shortcuts that can make a huge difference in appearance. Anyway, I’m tired. Goodnight everyone :sleeping:

Checking in.

Walking the dog, hanging coat racks and not drinking alcohol. Oh and running. I can run again, carefully.

Is there more to life? :slightly_smiling_face:

Today nine years ago I defended my thesis. So much happened since. So much left behind. Good and bad memories. I cannot change my past as it made me who I am at the moment.
Off for a hike although I won’t see much today. Clouds are still too deep. Anyway, already this made.mx day :upside_down_face:
