178 days
Up early, got the kids off to school then headed to the gym.
Got some nice feedback passed on to me from one of the coaches that a guy I sparred with the other said to her. I try to make sure Im a good training partner and this reinforced that I’m getting the balance right.
Chilled at home afterwards, made some pumpkin soup for dinner, then picked up the kids and headed back to the gym.
Now we’ve just finished dinner, and the kids are off to bed
- I am struggling with momentum and stop starting. I think finding a regime that’s kind to both me and useful will be key. Every time I get into a good routine, I seem to falter. Luckily being sober seems to just be ticking along well now. By almost five months it’s just the new normal. I did have some cravings this weekend as it felt like it would be nice to ‘relax’ with a glass of rosé with my salmon, or a cold beer after gardening. But we all know that’s not the truth, pepsi max did just fine.
I just feel like I need to step my focus up. I have ordered Atomic Habits and two other books with my birthday money to start my next chapter: discipline and gratitude.
Decided to cancel my therapy this week, there’s only two sessions left and I’m not sure my heart is getting much out of it. My brain can appreciate the sessions, but brief length, resolution and solution based therapy is not the answer for me. I’ll complete the therapy absolutely. But I need to again STEP UP AND FOCUS myself on the deeper stuff.
Happy 24. Prayers ![]()

Day 71 AF
Day 2 FFF (Fast Food Free)
Big day at work, usually I’ll stop at a McDonald’s or KFC on the way between jobs but I went home had food there.
Headed to gym before doing some groceries and picking up my little man from day care. Had a fun afternoon, made dinner and now settling in for the evening.
Nothing to report?
And what about those 3 months milestone? ![]()
Well done lady! ![]()
Thank you.
With “nothing to report” I mean that there’s nothing dramatic happening for once.
No vacations or travels.
Just basic, nice calm and peaceful life.
Clean and sober as it should be. ![]()

Turning the corner into a new phase of sobriety. Calmer of mind. It’s easier to exercise. I’m losing a little weight. All sharp edges are less so, now. I like it. I’m healing up. ![]()

1386 days no alcohol.
851 days no cocaine.
366 days no vape.
3 days no binge-eating.
Checking-in with yesterday’s numbers…
I didn’t end up doing what I said I was going to do (finish the chapter, watch TV in the lounge), but I did meditate alot, and I watched TV on my phone, BGT, which was a much needed 1.5hr distraction from obsessing about food.
I’ve decided to allow toast later in the evening, if I’m genuinely hungry, but I have to wait an hour after my evening snack, so that I know it’s genuine hunger, rather than eating just because I’m standing in the kitchen. It worked well last night, and now I don’t have the guilt.
I only slept from midnight til 2am, so my brain is lagging today. I am anxious as I’m anticipating a reply from the charity I’m currently having theray with, regarding CSA. I will find out if I can restart it once I’ve completed the therapy with the psychiatrist. I hope they will allow this, as I was so patient whilst I waited 4 years for it.
I have deliveries coming today so I’ll be waiting in for those (not like I ever go anywhere
). I will finish the chapter after this, and then maybe watch the last 2 episodes of Sex Education on Netflix.
