I knew when I began this journey of sobriety that March would be my test as my wife was heading south for 3 weeks in the sun.
I, home alone with dogs and supposedly focusing on my exercise routine.
The first week I did ok, but kept falling into the social media trap and doom scrolling (that included here as well), and my intent was to also dial in on my weight . Well weight wasn’t dropping, and while I was getting more and more gym time I just wasn’t seeing results.
So this past week, I curbed my social media engagement immensely, focused intently on daily weight lifting sessions, dialed in tightly on my calories and have finally begun seeing progress. I have a friend who is also a non drinker that used to be a fitness instructor that I went to high school with and he is helping me stay focused and accountable, which I appreciate immensely .
I’ll continue abstaining from online chatter and scrolling too much for the time while I really get this all figured out and while I work towards my fitness and health goals.
We have back to back games on Friday and Saturday night for round 2 of my son’s hockey playoffs so some (ugh) super late nights over the weekend. But excited as heck as the games will amp up even more as they vie to win championship (another round after this best of seven series) and then onto the provincials !! Let’s go!
Wish you all the best and more importantly a healthy and happy sober weekend
Checking in for today.
Feeling is very soft today.
Just soft. Very soft.
Already got coffee in sunshine and notes to sort my busy life lol.
Wow realy feeling soft, will keep this with me today. Pick up of new glasses and trial lenses is the biggest to do today. And putting my bike in the car to take it with me to our house. Looking forward to a first ride. And a swim tonight.
Still a lot of movement, re-integration proces bit on hold now. The obligatory boxes are checked. My coach focussed a lot on job applications the past few months. While my feeling said it’s way to soon. It is an obligatory part, otherwise my employer has to continue paying my salary if that’s not met. Yesterday I had another appointment with him on my request (he ghosted me for two weeks). He asked what I wanna do next, I said I f*cking don’t know. He acknowledged that. Seems he was just afraid that the obligations weren’t met and my employer would have to pay. He even didn’t send the list of application activities with the application for my social security payment. The social institution didn’t ask him the send it. So it’s irrelevant to them. So to me all this stress from this would not have been necessary. My medical report is also with them now, so I think things are quit clear for them. Waiting now to get an appointment there with an insurance doctor. Don’t know what to think of my re-integration coach right now. Geus he’s just human….
Good morning sober peeps! Checking in on day 105. As I have been working through step 4, it’s got me in my mind a lot but not in a bad way. Normally I see how quick I can get everything done but I find myself making a conscious effort to not do that, that to me is growth and I am excited about that! I hope everyone has the most amazing day!! and
