Day 137. Girls had a very good easter, they went over to there moms and then are coming to bring me home and they are staying at a hotel bc addie is getting some allergy testint done on Wednesday. We had a good night, ive been very tired and sleepy feeling. Ended up having another relapse dream last night but i dont really remember it this time. Yesterday addie went to a party and me and autumn went for a small bike ride and she played outside with some chalk, it was cold out so we didnt stay out to long. But i did catch myself thinking about how boring of a dad i felt bc idk i was just kinda sitting there watching her and i just dont know what to do sometimes. Idk it had me thinking and kind of feeling like the dad who would never go anywhere with my girls bc i always needed a beer in my hand so i always sat in my chair while they played out back or something while i got drunk. And then idk i found myself thinking of all the times that i would get high smoking crack and randomly pass out, and thinking about how any of those times i could of not woken up. Or the times id keep narcan close to me bc i would be feeling so tired after getting high or doing meth and being afraid i was going to overdose. Was i actually close to death any of those times. Idk but for some reason i was thinking about it. Much love everyone

Afternoon check in, made it back home. We are about to go to an Easter egg hunt that my brother does for the community every year. I’m gonna be on the grill I think, if not I’ll be out there just being of service wherever needed. Hope everyone’s day gets better and better. #ODAAT :heart:

Checking in Sunday afternoon here. It’s been a good morning was up early and got in a good workout and a good run after. Glad the ab challenge is over with :smile: and can get back to my normal routine. Not much planned today just some meal prep for the week and a meeting later. Hoping everyone enjoys the day :v:

Evening (ish) check in. Managed to make it out of bed for lunch, and then again a little while ago to watch 20 minutes of the most boring football match ever :roll_eyes: Now back in bed after that overstimulation, wish I was joking!

So hoping I can stay out of bed for some of tomorrow. The days are all blurring into one now, and my daughter is excited to do something for me. Husband forgot to book leave so back to work after that, so fingers crossed it works out.

Checking in on day 3.

Was meant to go round my aunt’s for Easter lunch, but I have the world’s worst cramps :frowning:
Just feeling sick and sweaty, so I’ve been trying to sleep through the pain. I’ve taken paracetamol and an NSAID and they don’t seem to be touching the sides.
Glad it’s Monday tomorrow, a fresh week.

Have a restful day all, and happy Easter to those who celebrate! :egg: :hatching_chick:

@K_S , I don’t think I’ve ever regretted a day in the gym brother. It’s all about just doing it, making it a habit, and it becomes exponentially more enjoyable the more often you do!

I am having the best weekend with my husband. It seems like it’s been a long time since we have had this kind of quality time together and I am so grateful. Yesterday was perfect weather and I was feeling kind of bummed that he had a jam scheduled with his friend for the afternoon - he’s a musician and I recognize he wants to play music but sometimes it feels like it cuts into our time together. Well the friend had partied it up the night before and couldn’t make it, so win for me. Being sober means I don’t have days like that where I have to cancel plans and feel like poo, so that was a secondary win to have that as a reminder. My husband even said he wasn’t too heartbroken about it because we could spend more time together. He also said he is glad we don’t “do it up” like we used to. So am I.

Hope everyone is having as good a day as you can. :heartpulse:

:wink: mmm, so when can I move far away? 1-2 years of sobriety??? :expressionless: Ok. Ok. I actually have a very long list of things to do right here. Funny how that works! I’d like to get strong enough in my sobriety to go visit, first! And even just run around HERE like a normal sober person.

Doing ok- very quiet day. Getting in a little walking but it’s mostly a rest day. Low overcast, pre-storm vibe. Ready for a fresh new week of productivity! I will go get a trunk full of plants to brighten my world

Happy Easter :rabbit::hatching_chick:

Since I’ve been trying to be sober, I have picked up a lot of plants to take care of. I have books, bought plant stands, something I enjoy. I’ve reached where I have enough, almost too many, and I don’t want to lose interest and move on. I have a habit doing that. Right now, all’s good.

Probably the same reason I rescue seniors, to take care of them. I love Buddy :dog2: and Alex :cat2: they’re both 11. I’ve had animals my entire life, they never judge and are always happy to see you. :blush: I should be good with the plants :cactus: since they’re also living things, I don’t even like to lose a plant. :shamrock:

Today sucks a little, my son, daughter in law, have decided I live too far (20 miles) for them to come over with the twin boys, 3 years old. Basically told me it’s too much trouble. I know it’s more my DIL, ironically she has moved her mom into their house over 10 years ago.

My son growing up, him and I used to have so much fun with my Mom every Easter, actually every holiday. It’s such a change when he married a person who her, and her mom aren’t social, at all.

Didn’t mean to turn this into a bitch fest. I replanted some Lithops (butt plants) and replaced my front room rug. And will be walking Buddy shortly. :purple_heart: I also made a milestone that I’ve never made before.

Enjoy the day!! :hugs::rabbit2:
