Checking in daily to maintain focus #62

Hello, its been a while. Ups and Downs and everything in between yet still sober. Attended an in person meeting and felt a sense of strong connection to the people and belonging in the room. Contemplating a sponsor as well as the difference between learning to live sober and recovery. Curious.
Frightened at times. Inspired, determined and hopeful during others. Pondering a need or maybe a want for treatment without knowing what where or how and the cost. Funding? Resources? Feeling really tired, not sleepping well and having wake ups ofrom meshing of dreams and past memories. My brain has been foggy and scatterbrained all week. Grateful for you all and another 24. :heart:
!

day 17 here! nothing too bad happened today, still getting some mild cravings and thoughts of using but i think theyā€™re fading away a bit. iā€™m starting my new job tomorrow, and am very terrified for some weird thing to go wrong that prevents me from starting(this would force me to move back in with my parents). but i honestly think iā€™m mostly just over worrying, and that things will end up being fine. i hope it all goes well tomorrow.

Iā€™ve been to a couple of gigs in the past year in between relapses where I was sober and they were great. I saw Idles, with some non drinking friends and also Wu tang and Nas with some heavy drinking friends. Both were awesome, I remembered all of it, didnā€™t spend half the show getting booze or taking a piss and with the Wu show I was able to look after my mates and drive everyone home at the end of the night.

Book of life. You are reader, but You also are the writer in a way. Everyday is a crossroads. Everyday we can pick a turn. Whatā€™s is gonna be ?

12 years ago I thought it was the end of the story, but it was just beginning of the new Chapter.

Mistakes. It is impossible to find the answer when you do not know the question.
Light. It is the brightest in the Dark.

We become strongest in our hardest times.
Keep goingā€¦
Donā€™t stop.

Next Chapter is on its wayā€¦

I feel like a sleep deprived zombie at the moment, night after night of not enough sleep :sleeping:

Hoping for a kind week where my employer doesnā€™t try to hit my knee caps out. My end date is February 26th so itā€™s near but still five weeks. The boss from hell has already started the passive aggressive micro management. Heā€™s such a sad douchebag.

Have a good one all.

Checking in Day 13 drug & alcohol free
Thinking a lot about my dad today
And what would come out of his mouth
When he was drunk and angry
And Iā€™m starting to realize
Itā€™s most likely things that were said to him
By his dad or his brothers or even by grampa
And it made him feel less then
It made him feel like he had to be tough
And strong and ā€œmanlyā€
I guess Iā€™m just missing him a lot today
And I hope wherever he is
He knows how much I love him.

Thanks for letting me vent.
Goodluck to everyone today :four_leaf_clover::two_hearts:
