*Day 2024 :walking_woman:
Worked in another store yesterday more up north in my country. The needed help for getting 10(!) containers of new stock on the shelfs.
We started at 8.30 and had it fixed by 2 oā€™clock with 4 people, worked hard :facepunch:
Today? Having the day off so doing some chores around the house. Rainy day here so planning around the rain showers :hugs:


Wikkel has a day off too :upside_down_face: She crushed on the couch, my own orange couch potato.

This thread has become very active and itā€™s hard to catch up with everybody. But just wanna say itā€™s good to read you all! We all heading for the same direction: a sober life
All here to add another 24 houres to it.
So letā€™s do just that.

Early gym then home to start on dinner.
Got to watch the kids do some running races at their school. Quickly did some shopping then home to finish dinner before picking up the kids from school. Then it was the kids turn for the gym.
Wifes on nightshift tonight, Iā€™m working tomorrow day, just finished making sushi for the kids lunch tomorrow. No way I would have been bothered doing that in the evening 4 months ago

Day 16 :heavy_check_mark:

Jot woke up now which Iā€™m pretty happy with :nerd_face: considering I was up most of the night. Seems if I turn everything off and pop it my phone down it helps - of course.

I can hear the birds singing away and there are lots of baby ones all around the garden. Itā€™s lovely to wake up to. Supposed to rain here today which is fine, I donā€™t mind that.
10:45am is late for me. Half the days gone :rofl:
My watch says I got a nice 7 hrs sleep so might go swimming today later this afternoon see if I can get myself a little exhausted to get back into my routine.
It Is all nothing to stress about.

I will plan a nice dinner to look forward to this evening.
I donā€™t watch TV in the day- so I can look forward to that to later. The little things are still bringing me joy. So glad I didnt lose that with relapse.
Il have to share my relapse story over the next few days, the build up to it, how quick I regressed back etcā€¦ as it may help some. The delusional thinking I had it was going to make my life perfect and excitingā€¦ was a lie. Iā€™m glad I realised that I liked my sober life, it was exciting and no amount of drink was going to help me with any goals I had. But at the time I was so sucked into thinking it was!
I guess it made me realise and feel deep in my bones that I actually donā€™t like alcohol and donā€™t want to drink.
A story for another day.
Today is going to be a good day.
Life throws enough good at us, but also enough bad and the moments in-between when everyone and everything is ok is important to not let those moments slip by and be in the moment. So Iā€™m going to get up now and do just that live in the now and be grateful and mindful.

Edit ; and work out the price for the wood for the catio :cat2:

I like to say life is a mixed bag of bullshit and joy and you just gotta dig through the bullshit to get your hands on that joy! Happy you realized where your happiness really is and congrats on sweet 16!

Day 90, AF. 3 month mark.

Slept well again, but have been mostly for about a month now which I love. Once itā€™s lights out Iā€™m usually out within minutes which is such a massive change in my life compared to normal.

Down 8lbs since sobriety began. Not sure why the weight is slipping off sooo slowly, but at least it is. Should be much faster considering the exercise I get and healthy eating in a caloric deficit, but my muscles are achy every morning when I awake, and I love that feeling. The stretches in bed that you feel deep inside your legs. I think stiff muscles is one of my favorite feelings that one can have.

The day is starting beautifully out there, hard to believe there is weather coming within the hour in the form of snow, it wonā€™t last though as temps are headed up over the next week, so will be nice to see, hopefully for one last time.

Well, itā€™s time for coffee and back to gym. Currently I am putting in about 2-3 hours per day x 6 days per weekā€¦ definitely feeling a lot of muscle growth now.

I leave you with the morning sunrise this morning, from my window.

I didnā€™t go to my Dutch lesson today :frowning: It was super rainy and super windy (still is) not the best weather for 30min cycling to get there. But my morning workout at home was pretty heavy and satisfying, which is nice. I can really see how my body changed last few months.

Itā€™s 12:30pm here, I only had 1 (one!) coffee today, before 7am. Soon Iā€™m gonna drink 2nd and thatā€™s it for today.

My husband is away for 3 days, till Sunday. Im kind of happy, not gonna lie. I need some time alone, some alone evenings when kids are sleeping and I can just chill and watch whatever I want, go to bed whenever I want (which means earlier than usual) etc. Maybe Im gonna miss him, would be nice. At this moment I just feel relaxed.

Have a good day people, big hugs! :blue_heart:

Good morning to my long distance, semi-dysfunctilnal family :v:. I have the day off from work but I got a lot I gotta get done within the next month before we move so my weekends will pretty much be filled with that for the foreseeable future. And if this fucking rain and wind would ever stop maybe I could get the bike out for a while later, but weā€™ll see.
@Mischa84 maybe youā€™ll miss him but enjoy your free time to the max, you deserve it.
Love ya guys :v::green_heart:

Day 34

I slept. Itā€™s like adrenaline takes over and has to work itself out. Brain is doing some uncomfortable, ummā€¦healing. :wink: So I have myself a good spring day to live in. Insomnia can fro!

Today I need to get stocked up for the eclipse. No, not that kind of stocked up!! Iā€™m getting food. My town is about to be overrun with partying ā€˜viewersā€™. We are in 100% totality on Monday afternoon. Funny thing is, forecast is cloudy. People are paying gouged hotel prices and driving from all over the place. Oops. But itā€™s a crap shoot during rainy season! I will be home here enjoying it out of the fray.

Otherwise I want the crazy to pass, my early sobriety stuff to get better so I can get out in the garden. I canā€™t wait to be super sober. But Iā€™ll keep it simple today. See you later, good people. :heart:
