Checking in daily to maintain focus #64

Love the picture. I want to be that calm and content like your couch potato. . Early recovery seems to be a lot of ups and downs. 37 days for me. First month dove in to AA and exercising at the gym. So busy it seems others in household felt home life being neglected. Maybe it was but felt a sense of happiness and good intentions. I guess one needs to find a balance. I really feel balance will come but the extra work on sobriety at this time is time well spent and a necessity.

Thanks homie I really appreciate that and your detailed response :slight_smile:

Youā€™re right, Iā€™m gonna focus on myself and my own happiness, not worth getting back with him. Itā€™s tough, but Iā€™m putting in that work yessir :saluting_face: :smiley:

Thanks for helping me stay on track with my own progress towards happiness homie, I appreciate it :slight_smile:

Made it through the workday :hot_face: I can manage the anxiety when I know it is that, but when I start getting physical scary symptomes I get scared and never think its anxiety.

Day 901 AF
Day 23 caffeine free

Good morning, fam.

I forgot to check in last night for my 900 days. I ended up passing out. Only 100 days till 1k. LFG! :muscle:

I got my annual eye exam yesterday morning. I was supposed to see a doctor for my ear pain, but the nurse messed up. The appointment wasnā€™t till next Tuesday. I drove in for nothing. Itā€™s all good, tho. People make mistakes.

Anyway, I took my son to the park in the afternoon and just chilled at home. I felt exhausted.

Have a great day yā€™all. ODAAT.

I know what you mean. The physical symptoms are very scary but Iā€™ve learned itā€™s anxiety related for me and if I use my coping skills I can manage them. I think shortness of breath and chest pains were my scariest sensations.

Hi TragicF!

Nah, not too nosy :slight_smile: Texas, Austin area. I was just out and about running errands and there are tons of RVs and out of state plates streaming into town alreadyā€¦ I hope the weather will allow a few peeks of sun, at least! If nothing else it will get dark quicklyā€¦ I may see about taking some pics just in case it turns out sunnier than currently forecast.

He is going to creep into your thoughts, one of them is creeping around in mine although, itā€™s not as intense as I said everything I needed to say - step 9 is about clearing the street but thereā€™s also an element of boundary setting that comes with recovery and aswell as respecting other peoples boundaries, you will learn to properly stand up for yours aswell :slight_smile: I promise you though; when your head is cleared and your foundation is solid, the tower you build yourself will be so high that the view out will be far more impressive than the view below :slight_smile:

65 days AFmfA, checking in

Pressure by landlord again by email. Should make appointment again with a fucking company he choose.

The legal advice will be Saturday. Will answer this tomorrow during day.

A friend from my old company offered support again, to takeover communication and would even proceed the handover of the apartment with a power of attorney from my side.

Will pack all things for study, clothing and leave Saturday morning. Just will be here on weekends to sell the rest and pack the kitchen stuff, uninstall lights, blah. Blaaaah! Ahhrrr :grimacing:

What a mess!

Looking forward to a swim :swimming_woman:t3:

Love you guys :purple_heart:

Day 27.

I dont find myself think about drinking. I have thought about a drink once or twice since ive gotten sober. But it quickly fades.

I think the fact that I have decided I am truly done has helped me substantially.

If youā€™re just starting, hang in there. It gets better!
