Morning Check In
Day 606
Goooood morning everyone! Hope you all are doing well! I have been pushing myself today to get things done and to get back to my usual routine. Ive been in a rut for awhile now and Im hating how Im feeling so decided that today was the day I changed that!
I got my son on the bus this morning and almost went back to sleep. I laid in bed for 30 min which is dangerous lol bcuz me laying in bed usually results in a looong nap with nothing getting done. Instead i got up, went to run an errand and then booked our flu shots for next week. Now im home and drinking my preworkout to get ready for some exercise. Im feeling 75% better than I have been the past while. I even prayed this morning. Id also like to get back to my DBT workbook as it was helping me so much when I was actively using the skills. I really want to see if me changing my daily routine for the better, will reduce my cravings to use. Im trying to understand why ive been having sooo many urges lately and am wondering if how I have been living my life lately has an impact on it. Thats all for me right now. Feeling grateful

Dana-- i hope that by getting out for the errand you gained some fresh air and energy (sometimes just doing one task gets me back on track to keep moving forward).
I am just attacking one task at a time right now so that i don’t overwhelm my senses and end up in bed 
I am doing a hell of a lot better than yesterday so all is good.
hope you have a wonderful day

Love, anyway!

Day 271.
My uncle died tonight. I think I’m in shock or something, I only saw him last week and he was fine. And now he’s gone. Just like that.
I’m in no danger of drinking, just need to process my feelings on the matter.

Evening check in, 28 days.
Had a rest day from the gym as work was pretty intense. Went to the pub for some food with my husband, not tempted at all which was nice. Lovely to have an evening walk too. Saw this fungi which was pretty cool and unusual for around here so took a photo
My husband then identified it as a King Bolete using an app on his phone. We know how to live 
Just as we were walking home I remembered I have half days on Friday. I have been so engrossed in work that I somehow forgot. What a total bonus! So excited for my short day.
