Checking in daily to maintain focus #64

I can understand that, and for what I know the discussion about having one time zone or at least something close within EU, and skip the daylight savings is about having constant summertime.

A few countries have agreed for what I know as most countries is for a change. But to make s chance everyone must agree on which time we should use. Summer or winter, for us winter time is best according to studies. And after a possible decision it’ll take another 1,5 years to coordinate everything with all the countries involved.

So I think we can easily say it’ll take a few more years.

I hope you’re not too tired tomorrow, I’m so glad that I don’t have to get up early until Tuesday and that we’ll have an extra day to adjust over here.

Hi friends! Hope everyone is doing well! Just checking in on another beautiful day clean and sober. Currently at work until 4pm. Its been a quiet day with not much to do. Im happy to be at work honestly and grateful i havent lost my position with all the time i have taken off this month. With my son being sick and then having other situations come up, ive missed alot of work. And being relief staff, my shifts arent permanent/guarenteed. So i guess im trying to redeem myself and show my boss that I am reliable.
I tried to pray this morning on my way to work. I felt really disconnected. Ive actually been feeling quite disconnected to my HP, from TS, and from myself. More so from myself id say. I HAVE to get back on track with everything starting next week. I need structure and routine in my life… thats what im used to and what works for me. Hope everyone is enjoying their saturday :heart:

@Lile01 I’ve been in your position far too many times in my former identity, I really hope this is just a scare and a learning point. I would echo what Amy30 suggested about the STI screening in a few weeks too :people_hugging: sending strength and hope 🩵 This guy is definitely not your friend. If you were too drunk to consent, then it wasn’t consensual. :no_entry_sign:
@NewBeginning1 congrats on double digits :tada:

1328 days no alcohol.
793 days no cocaine.
308 days no vape.
90 days no impulsive spending.
53 days no binge-eating.

Read the final chapter of the book. Meditated. Walked to get some lunch from M&S. Did my morning routine. Meditated some more and then fell aleep so had a nap. I have kept my trainers on for 6hrs hoping I’d go for a walk this afternoon, I was planning to go after I meditated but I must have needed the nap (I didn’t sleep great at all), and now I can’t make myself go out. Frustrating.

Tomorrow I think I’ll be seeing my family so that will hopefully be nice.

I hope you’re all having wonderful sober weekends. :blush:

Evening check in, just made 6 days. Have spent the day in bed really, a bit bored of being sick now, but at least I am sober. I had a migraine aura earlier so think my body is trying to tell me something!

It will be an early night tonight I think, and then hopefully an improvement tomorrow. It is weird enough spending the day weekend getting the day wrong and now the clocks go forward so won’t have a clue what day or time it is :rofl: Looking forward to the lighter evenings though, I definitely prefer this time.

Sometimes with cravings it helps me to play it forward and imagine how sick and depressed I’ll be tomorrow, the day after and so on. Also helped me a lot to throw myself into other things. For the first week or two typically I just try to recover, eat well and read books. Books help a lot for me, I can forget a lot of the outside world and cravings, anxiety, etc if I just dive into them. My personal suggestion is books and movies with good, strong, hot decaf coffee and cold diet coke (diet coke has magic anti-anxiety properties).

It’s also a beautiful spring day here in the south USA. I sacrificed some of my sleep (I work overnight shifts) to spend some time outside getting sun and working out. Sometimes you can sweat it out, ride it out with books or movies, walk it off. Whatever you need to do. Spring is a great time for sobriety and change. Take it like the birds and the trees, one day at a time you can come alive again and grow.

Happy Easter everyone else. Work last night and my day today have been great. No mood swings. Coworkers were especially nice. I’m trying to re-frame my expectations.

@foxmccloud Great work on 63 days friend – congrats on passing your 2 month milestone. Peace does not come easy but keep working on it – it does get easier. Here if you need to vent out the frustration.
@jennyh You are doing wonderful Jenny… way to go in recognizing the upcoming hurdles. Nothing selfish about just coming here to gain support. Your daily posts help so much others so you don’t’ necessarily have to reach out to help. Maybe layout some rewarding activities to do during your week off and for your birthday. Now that you are starting to feel better maybe go to a movie, park, museum… anything that is fun and does not offer alcohol. Remember we are just seconds away at any given time. You are not alone :hugs: LOL – I totally get the “fake fainted” sensation – glad you regained strength and did not pass out. Listen to your body love and give it rest and care
@mischa84 WOW 9 months and you are doing so great Mischa! I love that you are here with us and am happy to celebrate your wonderful milestone with you. :heart:
@mat_jay 800 days is impressive Mat – thank you for checking in and sharing your milestone with us. :hugs:
@chevy55 thank you so much Nick. I am blessed to have a great support group and I am doing much better today. Still have bouts of massive sadness when I stop to think of my friend but that is to be expected. Appreciate your sweet words and support. :hugs:
@mrsodh Thank you Sophia. What a lovely thought and I will hold onto the thought that my friend will stay with me in spirit. :hugs:
@steve14 thanks Steve. Appreciate the support :hugs:
@jwfletcher4792 WOW – that is a harsh reminder of why we don’t drink and a ugly look of what we looked / acted like when drunk. I am sorry for your car. Totally can understand the frustration. Hope your friend helps fix up the scratch.
@lile01 Thank you so much Indi. You nailed the emotions. I am trying to be gentle with myself. :hugs: Glad you were able to get morning after pill. Keeping my fingers crossed that it does what it is meant to do. I cant imagine the anxiety you are going through. Sending you comforting hugs my friend. Smart to keep your distance from your friend at the moment. Your sweet dog is adorable!
@iamthechange this made my heart smile. Have a wonderful time with your kids. Yeah to 120 days!

@catmancam than you Cam! Great work on 3 months of no impulse spending – you are absolutely rocking your timers friend. Sorry for the crappy sleep. I can totally understand not wanting to exert yourself when you are feeling unrested. :hugs:
