Checking in daily to maintain focus #58

Checking in. I am ok with this - I need to do this - I am in the present moment - I am grateful - I am happy.

I have listened to your advice - I can see my problem - I can use my understanding against the problem - I have the tools of recovery.

Thank you. :balloon::smile:

Actually I seem to have miscalculated, actually 1143 today! Sorry for my deception!

I did a mini Step 4 with my new sponsor (just what has happened this year). It is amazing how a non-professional can still pick out key themes (or maybe I am just easy to understand!). Thinking about those key themes, and how they link to my childhood, just made me so mad at my mother. A lack of unconditional love when a child is just so damaging. And I know all this in my head, but I still canā€™t logic myself out of the way I react to things.
In other news, I totally forgot that my daughter has a school trip tomorrow, and I had to suddenly make a lunch box for her. She is very sure about what she wants, but sober me is up to date with work, not hungover, and could make it no problem.

Day 1012,

Taking it slow more attention for self-care. Aware of my negative thoughts on my current situation and worries. Gonna watch the new apartment of my parents this afternoon. Feels triggering just as everything but went to the supermarket and nothing bad happened.

Have a nice day!

@tragicfarinelli Congrats on your sober time and way to spend the time awake in meetings to keep you focused. I know the timers can be screwy but do not let it deter you! You have and are continuing to put in some amazing efforts for your sobriety. Keep at it and the days will just stack on seamlessly.

Checking in on Wednesday morning
I am super exhausted but dressed and have downed one cup of coffee. Need to eat something cause itā€™s going to be a long morning / afternoon. I will be helping out with the work shift at the hospital cafeteria today. I know itā€™ll go smoothly - i always love seeing my lovely customers and chatting (apparently - i can chat lol). Looking forward to crawling into bed afterwards.
Hoping you all have a wonderful addiction free day! Sending you all much love :heart: :heart:

Good morning love! :heart: Thanks for thinking about me! Itā€™s been a busy few days. Did a bunch of yard work over the weekend so wasnā€™t on as much. And work has been super busy the last couple weeks, so donā€™t have as much scroll time. Bought Allen Carrā€™s Easy Way to quit smoking on Monday so crammed that the last 2 days. Put out my final cigarette around 6pm last night. So far so good.
