Day 62. Although sober home life not improving. I havenā€™t done anything but work household chores And Sobriety meetings. I have no funds of my own. I think depressed and meds were working so well

Checking in. Trying to get out of bed and get something to eat. Not use to having money, it wouldā€™ve already been spent. Feeling insecure as I head out. I want to isolate.

Oooh, you got a nice selection there! We always had game nights growing up, especially holidays. Unfortunately most of ours were lost to a flood, including a Monopoly dated 1952 :tired_face: Pictionary is our go to now.

Have fun at your game night!

Checking in on day 83, having some thoughts about missing my party/ festival days. Not too sure why. But Iā€™m grateful for where Iā€™m at today.
Having a nice Saturday so far
Hope you all have a nice sober Saturday :white_heart:

Good morning,

Iā€™ve made it to day 3 and it feels good. The only hard part is I mainly stopped because I couldnā€™t afford it and I have a little bit of extra money. Now I have to remember the reasons I donā€™t want to do it besides money.

Managed to ignore the weed shop as I walked to get groceries. Next goal is 5 days! I got quite a bit done this weekend compared to last weekend.

Evening checkin. I feel quite a bit better this evening. Iā€™m just eating my pizza and listening to the radio. Thanks @JazzyS for your kind words.
I got a lot of energy out with the rowing machine this morning. I basically ugly rowed!

@tailee17 Oh Lam Iā€™m sorry about things not improving. Do know that depressed and meds were not really working well ā€“ you are struggling with life now but you are doing so sober and your mind and body do thank you for that (even though you may not feel this atm). Seems like a tough situation but I do know you are strong enough to make a better space / life for yourself. :people_hugging:
@hopedealer2 Its common feeling to isolate and wallow but its imperative to not do that ā€“ We are here for you ā€“ stay active here. Go to a meeting or do something to keep yourself active. The more we keep ourselves away from thinking about the urges the better we can be at working it ODAAT.
@just_laura Yeah ā€“ it seems that we have accumulated many games over the years (our library used to have 50 cent book / game day sales once a year when I was in collegeā€¦ I have gathered many of both LOL. I am sorry that you lost so much in a flood. 1952 Monopoly ā€“ wow ā€“ that wouldā€™ve been a keepsake. I havenā€™t played Pictionary in forever ā€“ may try it out tonight.
@sadmemequeen Oh I know you love hanging with grandpa ā€“ I do hope you have a wonderful time today. Bingo is a wonderful way to spend the day :hugs:
@katiee It sucks when we think we canā€™t have fun times or enjoy a ā€œproperā€ weekend cause we are no longer drinking. This is a lie our brains tell us. You can have just as much fun if not even more fun now. I do hope you have a wonderful Saturday my friend.
@calgary5577 Way to go on day 3 and resisting the weed shop on your outing today. Yes- saving money is great but so many other benefits to being addiction free. Like Dana mentioned ā€“ write down your reasons and carry them with you ā€“ I also post them around the house on Post-itā€™s along with positive affirmations. Keep strong and keep active so you donā€™t have time to think about your addictions.
@deelzebub Glad to hear that you are doing better and ugly rowing (this made me chuckle) ā€“ let out that rage my friend. We got you ā€“ you are not alone :people_hugging:

Evening checkin.
Back homeā€¦

I am free!
I know I canā€™t deal with this drug (alcohol)
and admitting this from myself is freedom.
Many nice and colorful, relaxing, enjoyable things left in life. And to be discovered. The fog is reducing.

day 563 of no self harm

went to bingo with my grandpa today, it was fun, Iā€™ve only been once and I was like 12 then. now I find it incredibly overstimulating. next time we go Iā€™m gonna bring my noise cancelling headphones and just watch the screen instead of listening, thereā€™s far too many noises.
