131 days
Late check in
Checking in 47 days. Hoping to make today a good productive, balanced day of work. I need to stop over working as my wife keeps getting mad at me for staying to long on the computer after 5pm. It has been hard and the amount of work I have been doing I think is only for a season. Then hopefully I can properly use this evening to rest.
Day 97 AF
Met my bud yesterday for coffee at a local shop. Heās heading up on weekend for our school mates service, a couple other fellas are flying in from across country and theyāll travel together. Still so sad. I did realize it was my first out of my house event with another person since this sobriety journey began start of Janā¦ Iāve literally gone to hockey, met son for dinner, have wife home and thatās itā¦ not another soul reallyā¦weird.
My wife asked me to pop into liquor store to grab her pot while I was right thereā¦ another weird experience as I havenāt been in a booze store since prior to Christmasā¦ it was very surreal.
Neck is still being bothersome, so my sleep suffered last nightā¦ anyway, thatās the end of the complaints department for today, haha.
Iām gonna work on my storage container today and then not much more. Iāll hit the gym again tomorrow. No hikes, no bikes, no gym todayā¦well, I think
Day 5 today. Working a 12 hour shift which is really helping. Had a slightly better nights sleep so mood is a lot better. Ive been horrible this last few days.
Day 4 AF,
Going to first AA physical meeting today. Participating online meeting daily.
Iām grateful to my god giving me happiness, peace, health
God bless everyone
Day 41
Feeling more energy today so Iāll do some deep spring cleaning and get some exercise in. Iām craving lentils. Not beer, lentils! Progressā¦
@Jasty2 youāre moving states? Eww, with all the new state things attached! Good luck man.,Iāve done it twice and am contemplating another. Will be so good when itās done.
Glad to be breaking out of the early sobriety fatigue a bit. I wonāt run out of things to do here. Iāve still got a couple of rooms to remodel. Lots of garden work. Iāll be in good condition for summer.
I love day 41. It means nothing, but it means a lot. This is life or death.
Have a good day yāall
I think so too. Thanks Marie
Checking in day 59!!
Calling for big storms here with very gusty winds. Plenty of indoor work to be done and planning on a good workout. I am quite sore from weights earlier in the week so I will do a nice stretch.
No real cravings but I know I have been eating WAY more sugar than normal. One thing at a time. I hope everyone has a great day.
Definitely a āWeā.
In fact Iām probably the main instigator
I believe that
Day 292. Second check in. Mid day break at work. Listening to some music and a bit of reading. Will log back on at 3.
.
Iām missing the peak district (where I use to live before Cornwall)
I miss the seasons and the landscape. Cornwall is beautiful but seems to be wet for six months then summer, then wet.
Long term I may head north again. Get back out across the moors. A case of just seeing where life goes.
1 day sober!
No weed or smoking / vaping of any kind
Nighttime has always been hard for me. Even back as long as I can remember my family had a really hard time putting me to bed because I would just cry and cry and keep getting up.
(Theory is I have trauma I donāt remember at nighttime, as a toddler I stayed with multiple different families. Or just abandonment anxiety)
Last night was no different and the first thing I wanted to do was smoke. Instead I felt the feelings, the physical sensations. I thought maybe at this point the crying is comforting and familiar, and not necessarily a bad thing. which may sound odd, but I fell asleep soon after!
Mornings are also difficult but easier than night. This morning though, Iām just looking forward to another run with my boyfriend when he gets home today, and in the meantime some self care and home keeping
Day #17 sober from my DOC yessir!!!
Thanks yall for helping me with the cravings last night
Day 105.
First therapy session. Strange but good. I felt like I was just talking really matter of fact about really traumatic things non stop, without any real emotion or pause. I was very honest, but I still feel as if Iām standing behind a really really thick skin saying things Iāve come to terms with behind my really really thick skin.
Itās done. Cancelled all classes today and will nap and think instead. Feeling the need to feel cosy and safe.
Day 148. At work and just enjoying the morning. Looking forward to this weekend so i can put some new parts on my bike, the upgrades are almost complete lol. Got this service star this morning which was pretty cool, i really do love my job and where im at today with sobriety. Much love
