I totally get it Marie…I myself need to be reminded multiple times about how recovery will be and what to expect. When you are in the thick of it - the brain disassociates in a way and you forget. This is why this community is so important and it’s imperative to use it for the good and bad times cause that’s how we learn that we are not alone …that what we are going through is normal and will pass
7 weeks is impressive work …keep going strong… sending you some good sleepy vibes
End of day 35. Crazy busy work week so a lot of people in the office were keen for a drink in the sunshine after work. Decided to bail on that primarily because I didn’t want to answer too many questions about why I’m not drinking. The longer I carry on sober the easier it will be.
Work trip is sorted for next week. Decided to make it as busy as I can so that I just cannot drink or I’ll screw it up. Downtime has always been tempting when I travel. Now I just have to get through one evening on my own which I can do. Feel good to have sorted that
Checking In 53 Days of No Porn or Masturbation. Working on lustful thoughts and actions towards my wife. I do not want to treat her as just an object of desire and sexual fulfillments. My sexual desires are strong and I feel so weak compared to them. My wife is more than a thing to fulfill sexual pleasure.
Oh that’s rough. I do hope you are able to rest and heal and don’t have to put in too much time at work.
Being self employed and taking time off don’t go well together. I empathize my friend. Hope you are feeling better today.
Checking in on day 112! Day 7 of RSV…this this is HANGING ON. But I’ll get through it. Happy to be sober, happy to see so many check ins. Hang in there @Lighter ! We’re here for you. Happy almost weekend @JazzyS !! ODAAT
Day 206 af. Went to my home group meeting, and did laundry. Tonight my grandsons play ball again. It’s a beautiful day here, sunny and upper 70*! Going to cool off a bit tomorrow. This weekend is Thunder Over Louisville. Which translates to a huge influx of visitors to enjoy the air show, with the culmination of the grand fireworks display! Tomorrow the jets will be doing practice runs, I absolutely love watching and hearing the fighter jets going over! Have a nice evening all!
Beginning of day 12 here.
Looking at the second weekend AF. I know this is when I have to be vigilant. No social plans so that makes it easier but can already feel the pull of Friday afternoon drinks.
Have had headaches the last few days. Still not at the feeling awesome about sober life stage… I’ve been there before and no in my heart alcohol makes my life less.
I hope you’re returning the favor for her because I am sure she’s exhausted too. I remember when my kids were little it had to be shared. We both got up many times throughout the night.
Tired and sore, got old deck taken out and new base footings, framing and posts in place. Tomorrow deck boards, railing, ramp for wheel chair to be done before 2.5hr drive home. Going to be awful tired tomorrow for sure.
Checking in before bed because it’s been an absolute shit show of a day. I really thought i was gonna coast through the last two days of work before vacation hahaha
Today was a nightmare and i have to try to put the pieces back together tomorrow so my co-worker who i never talk to and have zero faith in can keep things steady while im gone.
Gonna try to get a good night’s sleep and deal with things with a fresh brain tomorrow
