Thanks Lys, and congrats on your 60 days of freedom.
Thank you @CATMANCAM for your support! Youāre an absolute rockstar!
Iām doing better now, not so angry anymore. And although I had a poor night, I was surprised how awake I was throughout yesterday. I had better sleep last night, and today has been somewhat productive.
Wishing a great sober day for you all!
Day 32

Day 383.
Fudge. Today I wanted to clean my flat, but canāt be fucked. Tho, I suppose the dust will still be here tomorrow. Instead, Iām cooking a nice soup and going to the movies later.
Iām a bit out of wack because I stayed up until 5 am last night working to meet deadlines. Iām definitely too old for this shit, but I also struggle with time management.
Day

267 no alcohol
198 no vapes or ciggs

I have today off so im just going to take my meds as perscribed and stay completely sober.

Day 60
The last two months flew by. Since Iām more focussed on myself and what/who I want to be, Iām less focussed on not drinking. I know I have to be aware to not take my sobriety for granted though, as temptation can creep up on us when we expect it the least.
Tonight and tomorrow Iām having friends for diner, looking forward to that. Tonight will be cheese fondue and tomorrow Thai salad and curry. No work tomorrow so Iām happy I can sleep in a bit!
Yes! Iāll try to do more things that scared me, like crossing high bridges.
Being in a crowd doesnāt scare me any more, itās awesome
Congrats on the 500 days! And good to hear all goes well in life
That commute looks like heaven man. We have crazy traffic in and around the city, drives me nuts!
@Zse Congrats on the 60 days sober twin, you can be definitely proud of yourself!!
Happy day 60
Thanks and happy day #60 to you too you also can do it
9 days weed free. 2 days gambling free. 2003 days alcohol free. Anxiety is up there today. Really feel like smoking a cigarette or vape which i havnt done in years.
Day 79. Not much going on today, just kinda hanging out. Girls had a decent morning, and yeah just chillen. Not much to say today. Much love
Working my way through day 81. Had a rough start. Woke up groggy and then just one little inconvenient thing after another. They were so minor and I have been handling minor inconveniences like a freaking zen queen. Literally I have made so much progress with my anger and flipping out over EVERY LITTLE THING!! Today I was like the 81 days ago me. Then I realized I didnāt do my morning routine. Iām super hooked on it and apparently my day is not the same without it. I realized I am truly addicted to some really healthy habits and it feels so Fucking good!!! I didnāt run to drugs or alcohol, instead I journaled, did my affirmations and gratitude and prayer and drank my herbal tea, and I was better. It took me so many resets for so many years to get here and I just want anyone who canāt seem to get it to know to never quit quitting and all the other cliche things people say through sobrietyā¦They are all true, and living life sober, happy and healthy is possible and so worth the fight. I have never had more than two weeks sobriety before this and I never would have thought it was possible. With consistency and dealing with all the hard things, itās possible to recover from this disease. I know I will never be cured but Iām not having a āflare upā of addiction and that is a win. Have a thoughtful Thursday sober friends!
Checking in day 12 - already having thoughts of whether I really need to do this or if I can just not drink in some circumstances. I know I can have a few drinks fine no problem. Itās just these odd occasions where it all goes to shit but thatās maybe only a few times a year. I know Iām convincing myself out of it and the safest thing is just a blanket no to drink then I donāt have to worry and this never happens again. Butā¦ seems a bit extreme. But then whatās so good about having a few drinks anyway, none of us ever really only want a few, we can just restrain ourselves sometimes. And inevitably that fails at the most key times. Sorry this is just a string of consciousness, probably makes no sense. &
Struggled a bit last night and this morning. I went to sleep and started seeing the wounds and stabbings and even dreamed about the process and execution of a really deep cut. It was super duper hard when I woke up too. I struggled this morning with residual urges and images that were going around in my head. Itās been hard to push them away but I used my āriding the waveā skill and there are still some disturbing image in my head but Iāve done a good job of keeping busy and pushing them to the back of my mind. Iāve focused on whatever I can do to work towards my goal of becoming a naturalist on a whale watch. Iām studying about whales as well as practicing working with the public by volunteering in public service. By doing all of this, it reminds me that if I were to give into my urges, Iād lose this opportunity that Iāve dreamed of since middle school. So Iām not going to give in. I want toā¦ Really bad. But I canātā¦ I wont.
Where do you live? It looks lovely!
Oh my, that sounds hard, and Iām wishing you strength to stay on a healthy path towards your dream of whales and volunteer work.
Please stay strong
I live in Christchurch, New Zealand.
That is Castle hill about 1.5 hours away.
