28 Days Sober

Day 1
I have a problem with obsessively consuming social media content that makes me feel bad about myself. I think itās about control. I donāt feel control over my life so I do this. But its bad for me and it impacts my personal relationships. So I use this sobriety tracker to try to reduce my obsessive social media patterns. Itās been a struggle lately, I only make it 1 or 2 days. I think I should start posting to let go of some of the anxious energy that pushes me to it in the first place.

Just doing a night time check in. Had a good morning and good evening with my girls. Mom made meatloaf and I made my famous mashed potatoes. Girls ate good, and itās been pretty good. Watched Harry Potter for dinner. Also when I got home today I messaged another tattoo shop in Plattsburgh to see if they would take a look at my work and see about possibly taking me on. Out of everything tattooing is something I still always think about. With college Iāll be honest from the start I didnāt really feel like itās what I wanted, my counselors kind of pushed it on me and I thought maybe they were right Iād be good at it. But deep down when my counselor said i could get money if I went to college so that right away seemed like a good way to survive a little longer, at the time I had no bad intentions in my mind with the money. I thought I could get my girls presents for Christmas and pay rent and survive better for a little, of course that went s little different. Regardless I have faith everything will be ok. Much love and good night everyone

Day 59:
Woke up early and made it to the gym this morning. Good workout, but getting up at 4:30 has finally caught up with me. Iām exhausted and worn down.
Work was a struggle, but i made it through the day. I was supposed to go to my friendās for dinner and to watch the football game. Not happening! Iām so tired and had another one of my dizzy spells when i got home so Iām throwing in the towel on tonight.
Already in bed and so tired. Need some good sleep tonight to recharge for tomorrow.
Busy day tomorrow. Gym, work and then going to the Utah Jazz vs Phoenix Suns game tomorrow night with my daughter, friend and her son. Should be a fun night, but i canāt be this tired.
Sending strength to all those struggling and huge congrats to everyone getting one more day.

hey friend, sorry that you are dealing with the urges. are you able to go for a walk or do something to keep your hands / mind busy?
we are here for you if you need to just talk / vent it out. Keep fighting - the urges will not last. You are stronger than the addiction
