Feels good to be able to say that. I’m getting back in the groove of a sober routine. Working hard and then dealing with what needs doing. Sometimes it is just doing the next right thing. Sometimes its pre-planned. No real cravings at this stage which I think is because of the consistency in coming here every day and going to meetings. Ive got my “just in case” tool box set up. Some things to do (puzzle and paint by numbers), some things to read (Living Sober and my Big Book) and a way to connect if I need it.(coming here).
@Mischa84 thank you kindly. It wasn’t much of a party but huge congratulations on your 200 days! That’s awesome, you’re rocking it!
@Mindofsobermike thanks, Mike. Congrats on hitting the two months mark! That’s huge!
@zzz thank you! Inspirational is a bit of a strong word, but thank you!
Day 367.
After being a miserable cow yesterday, today I woke up feeling a bit more human. Gonna do my workout, then clean, then find something to keep me entertained. This whole starting a new healthy routine thing is draining the beejesus out of me, it’s kinda like early sobriety without the PAWS.
Checking in with 10 days! Didn’t sleep too well as my dog was restless on/in my bed last night but I’m grateful for another hangover-free morning. This morning’s anthem:
Struggling with close friends that had some sobriety time and went back out. The disrespect and drama that comes with it is A LOT. Just keep reminded myself that I’m grateful for my sobriety and seeing what it has been doing to my friends family. I know she’s not in the right state of mind and I’m trying to just let go of her being a bitch but I’m getting tired of it and had to block her and her husband. Then she goes and contacts my boyfriends place of employment. I told her I’d be there when she sobers up but until then I don’t want to have contact. Ughh just gotta stay close to those that have sobriety right now and remember that this too shall pass.
Good morning everyone! Checking in on day 46. Feeling kinda blah today but also feel ready to fight the good fight. I hope everyone has the most amazing day!! and
Morning! I too have been feeling blah, and not completely sure why. Day 113, have been going to a lot of meetings and going to the Y even when I don’t feel like it. I am pretty sure the winter blues are part of it. Keep up the good work!
Thank you. Congrats on 113 days, that’s awesome!! Normally my mood changes but it’s getting more negative, today, the struggle is real. I will pulling out everything in my toolkit kind of day….
I don’t want to strong wahhhh. Miss you girl.
I’m trying this staying on schedule deal, and TS/news/covfefe is the first thing on my list 🩷 much love xx
Ooooohhhh 1313 lucky day! My favorite number. Hope you’re well friend
Checking in at 1328 days. Just about done guzzling coffee then off to the grind. Well, the wanna be grind.
Oh, this I just had to share. One day both of my kids will like me at the same time. This text is from my baby, she turned 18 in November. She gives me everything “her” so her temporary driver’s license, then her provisional, basically anything that has to do with her because she knows I love to save it. She has a very good and caring heart. She’s a lot like me, she would give her very last dime to a homeless person. Anyway, this was just so sweet and cute and a fancy way to end my day. The kids call me Barb, it’s like a cool Karen lol.
Awful day, I’m still in pain. Spent the last 48 hours mostly in bed. The flare up developed into a nasty infection. I’m on antibiotics now for the next 7 days and back to the doctors for a follow up after that.
Checking in Day 7
Feeling more clear and level headed than ever before.
I want to be good and do good and I can only achieve that sober and by trusting and sticking to my recovery.
Hope everyone else finds the strength they need to keep fighting
and
