Checking in daily to maintain focus #61

@juli1 and @MrFantastik congrats on not drinking or giving in yesterday!! :clap:
@acromouse that voice is so convincing when it needs some attention. It will spin many tales and try to make it sound harmless. We know our addictions and we know our limitations. Stay strong with your convictions . 22 days is amazing work!
@soberwalker Keeping my fingers crossed. Hope all goes well with your appointment and you get the artwork you envisioned. :hugs:
@Tragicfarinelli Sending you big hugs of comfort. Here to listen if you need to talk. :people_hugging:
@rosacando sending you healing energy ā€“ hope that you and your hubby do not experience any major symptoms and are feeling better soon.
@sabrina80 Grateful that you are feeling better and that the meds are helping. Yippee to hair appointments that make us feel better (I am sure you are not looking awful) ā€“ will just be nice to feel like you again :wink:

Checking in on Thursday afternoon
Just realized that itā€™s Thursday and i have my treatment appointment at 4 ā€“ will rush to get ready now for it. I really was not feeling well today and also cramping really bad. Glad my mind worked it out before i missed the appointment all together.
Wishing you all a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all so much love :heart: :heart:

1221 days no alcohol.
686 days no cocaine.
201 days no vape.

I didnā€™t get to sleep until after 2am, so I slept til 10am. Iā€™m surprised the cats didnā€™t manage to wake me up bless them. I fed them, and took my morning meds, then napped until 13:30. Then I managed to get through my morning routine and finished it at 3pm. Then spent some time with my cats and finished a chapter of the book Iā€™m reading. Then it was time to feed the cats again, and take my evening meds, and I realised I hadnā€™t taken my lunchtime meds, so I took them all togetherā€¦it turns out that wasnā€™t a good idea, I fell asleep over and over again on the toilet for 2.5hrs! Had some dinner, chatted to my WhatsApp friend for a bit, and now Iā€™ve caught up here, and itā€™s now 22:15. I donā€™t plan to stay up as late tonight, but I may not be able to sleep for a while due to the micronapping I did in the bathroom earlier.

What an amazing time to find this necklace my mom got for me. Almost a month sober from all substances, starting my esthetician program in a couple weeks and pursuing my dream of owning my own lash and skin boutique, getting closer to God every day, fully releasing all that doesnā€™t serve me and embracing all that does. I am so grateful for this new beginning. :orange_heart:

Day 180 alcohol free

Rapidly approaching 6 months sober! Who would have thought. The craving for alcohol has subsided for the most part. It does get easier though my Diet Coke consumption is off the chart. That may be a goal for 2024.

Still fighting this damn cold and work is insane with the end of the year rapidly approaching. I work in government funded healthcare and all of the state agencies are going nuts with last minute requests.

My back has been feeling pretty good but still havenā€™t made it back to the gym since my return from CA. I guess I need to give myself grace since Iā€™ve been sick.

Sleep well everyone!

Day 4 in the bag! Had a shitty day, and instead of ordering in fast food to binge on I went out and got some much healthier Korean food. It was delicious, and I got to pick up a cute Spy x Family coffee while I was at it.

This is feeling too easy for me right now. Iā€™m waiting for the other shoe to drop. Its like my mind/body havent caught up to the fact that this is a lifelong trip weā€™re on yet and it thinks its just a holiday.

Typical day. Nothing out of the ordinary really. My daughter seems to be getting a head cold, or itā€™s lingering symptoms of our sickness a while back. I still donā€™t feel 100% in the nasal area. Idk, I just hope it doesnā€™t get worse. Happy I donā€™t work in the morning. Gonna chillax for a bit before bed :blush:

Day 1221

Usual daily stuff. My kids both passed their belt test to go up a level in karate :muscle:. My work is a little behind, but I hope I can catch up over the weekend and winter holiday. Daughter has a nasty fever today (tho she seems quite perky) so maybe have to check for flu/Covid.
