Good Morning. 19 days underway. I am doing well. I havenā€™t been going on runs like I want to but did do a workout last night with my wife. Also talked to my sister about some family issues and that went well. Work is still going to be a lot for the next few weeks. Just trying to take it one day at a time.

Made it to day 6 with ease, this time around.
Hereā€™s my view for today:


An 8 mile walk in the sunshine is just what I needed.
Slipped and fell on my arse and got mud all up myself and just got up and laughed it off. Advice for general life, really.

Fridays are usually my trigger days, but Iā€™m feeling very zen and relaxed today.
Spring is my favourite season and we finally have a warm breeze, sunlight and the sweet smell of flowers.
So grateful to be able to enjoy it in its entirety; the wind on my face, the sun peaking through my hair, oh, and I can walk in a straight line and think clearly!!

Hereā€™s to a happy, sober trip this weekend. Iā€™ve already told my friend Iā€™m not drinking so to stay away from pubs, bars and clubs, but, luckily, sheā€™s stopped drinking too!

Iā€™m just so glad to feel so relaxed and happy after such a shit week.

Happy Friday everyone! :blush:

Day 77. Having a lot of life trouble. My sense of taste seems to have taken a back step. The probable reason is that I have struggled with eating. Stress has me away even from the gratitude thread. I need to force 1. Supplements 2. Food 3. Smell exercises 4. Who knows?

Great job on being so self aware. I get complacent too sometimes and need to get back to the basics of what works :slight_smile:

Hope you had a great time at the library @Mischa84. Iā€™m not good with socialising too but Iā€™m sure youā€™ll be fine.
And learning the language is necessary I think and weā€™ll yeah talking does the trick.
Good luck girl. Youā€™re gonna make it :+1:

Checking in day 75 :black_heart:

These allergies got me in a straight up choke holdā€¦ hanging on by a thread at work but making it through. :muscle:

Letā€™s get this weekend startedā€¦ ready to curl up in bed with a heating pad, glass of ice sparkling water and a good bookā€¦ letā€™s be honest Iā€™ll pass out before even turning the page twice at how Iā€™m feeling right now.

Today is day 26 and 26 days of meetings. Iā€™m feeling weak today. The thought of picking up had entered my brain. I feel unworthy today. I feel like Iā€™m not good enough. Iā€™m feeling expendableā€¦ I canā€™t seem to get out of this negative spiral and narrative.

On the outside everything is greatā€¦ itā€™s my thoughts that are winning today. I want to cry :cry:

Any thoughts?

Iā€™m just starting on this journey. But I know how easy it can be to have your mind taken control of your thoughts. Maybe call a friend or meditate to help focus on something else? Iā€™ve started reading more to get out of my head and into a different place. Wishing you the best luck :heart:

Youā€™ve done 26 days! 26! 624 hours of kicking ass, being determined and getting yourself back. So you are good enough, and you are worthy, and you can do this!
Donā€™t let those thoughts creep in, itā€™s a slippery slope, I know.

You are worthy. You are strong. You can do this.

I look forward to you checking in tomorrow so we know youā€™re on day 27!
(And donā€™t be afraid to cry it out if you need to! Youā€™ve repressed your emotions for so long; allow yourself to feel and let it out).
