Checking in daily to maintain focus #64

Thank you! It’s a solo trip, so I’d never consider drinking alone. But I will be there and I’ll bask in my sobriety!

Checking in Day 88.
At the school with my niece today. We’re painting an Easter egg together and then lunch. My brother couldn’t make it today due to starting a new job, so uncle Kenny said he would come.
Check in later. Hope everyone had a good day today.

Checking in. Long meeting with CPS and lawyers. Very difficult. Smoking is definitly triggered during these meetings. I am SO GRATEFUL to be sober in and through this. I am so grateful that I will be working thr rest of the week, and grateful for such a wonderful experience with the home exchange and for my beautiful family.

I do notice that I come dowb on my daughter about little things and need to ease off her a bit. She is so sweet and wonderful and I dont want her to feel like I am criticizinf her every move.

Happy 24 xo

I stopped most news and greatly reduced my social media consumption and I feel so much better for it. It was really weighing on me. Instead I read stories of recovery, and uplifting stuff… and pictures of cats and dogs and sober people. :slightly_smiling_face: Plus my hobby/interest sites can’t involve despair or anything. I’m in a bubble. I cut a massive amount of trash from my life. Feel like I have to go a lot further than not drinking. It’s the whole life thing. Everything has to be different. It’s a strange place but I like it.

Checking in on Day 7. It’s been a long time since I’ve gone a week without alcohol. I’ve been journaling every morning and night. I’ve found one consistent trigger in my life at the moment, family. My grandma, in her 90s, had colon cancer removed and my aunt who doesn’t normally make decisions, decided since she is oldest she should be. I feel like she doesn’t care and isn’t putting her foot down with the hospital to get the proper care she needs. I’m angry and at night I want to just grab a drink and forget how mad I am. I don’t but I do tell myself this is something I need to work on and acknowledge it.

Anyways, as I mentioned I’m journaling. I’m following a 31 day prompt and I’m worried about when it’s over. Do you have recommendations for other, maybe longer, journaling prompts?

I love this! I think that’s what’s different this time for me. It’s more about changing just drinking. It’s that I actually want to change everything. I couldn’t agree more about it being a strange place- but I feel better about it.

Yes! As uncomfortable as it is, it’s easier than not changing, somehow. I was so sick of my life. Now it’s different and more interesting and fun. :slightly_smiling_face: Glad to hear you feel similarly. Take good care.

Ok … day 29. Lots has happened this weekend in Regards to family. My sister has moved back home and needs support. A lot of change. I think everything happens for a reason. Maybe the universe knew that I needed to quit drinking because it knew my sister would need me. I would be no use if I was still drinking. Thank you higher power for looking out for us. :pray::sparkling_heart:

Latenight checkin…

Thoughts.

I heard 2 ugly old men talking shit about me today obviously, not sure. It was my landlord (bastard) and a handyman. He made a lot of dust in the cellar and they didn’t put anything over the washing machines and dryers, to protect them. I told the handyman this is not acceptable and made pictures for documentation. Yea very german lol, but last thing I need is damaged, expensive machines before moving out.

Heard him talking with the landlord about me later… Yeah, me, terrible difficult person lol! That’s why I lived door to door in peace with my old landlord for 12 years.
Funny
Not.
Ugly old men.

The point is… Fuck people that are bullying others. It’s about them. The problem and hate, it’s them. And we should not care at all.

When I heard what he said it hit me hard…
But I managed my feelings.
And my thoughts.

Big thing.
I am proud, happy and relaxed.

Let there be love! :heart:
