@leroy Way to go with your double 4ās 
@sober_ken love how we learn so much about ourselves and our environment as we trudge along the sober journey. Great work my friend. Keep it going strong
@jonase that does suck when a friend ends a relationship in such a manner. You donāt need that in your life anyways. Deserve to be treated better so donāt let it bother you (I know that is much easier said than done). I do hope you have a better rest of your day
@lighter Oh man a long list can feel overwhelming. Are you able to look at it and put the tasks in piles (urgent, can wait ā¦etc) ā after youāve had your tea and feel less frantic of course. I find that once I put my tasks into these piles I can attack them with less pressure and sometimes I even end up doing the entire list. Glad you are taking a break and hopefully that tea helped calm you down 
@danwood85 Awe thanks man ā really appreciate your words. Todayās phone calls did go a lot smoother gratefully. Hope you are enjoying your afternoon / evening.
@juli1 So glad that you are feeling better and great to hear that you did not crave during your rough patch. Keep pushing forward my rockstar friend ā you are a total badass!
@kvee No need to ever apologize ā Iām glad you were able to come here and let it out. You canāt hold that shit in. Iām sorry your day has been such a struggle. Grateful you are not letting it do you in ā keep strong friend. Feel free to vent here if needed ā we are here to help support you
Afternoon check in ā
so the weather and i are not on the same page today LOL - i did get in a walk but the cool breezy day turned hot and muggy near the end of my walk and caused my body to break out in hives. Luckily i was able to come home and shower and cool off. I then dressed nicely to run some errands where i got soaked and the weather turned super cold. GOOD LORD 
ā¦ glad to be home in my sweats ready to make a lovely meal. I am good today - i feel alive and well mentally and that is awesome.
hope you all are enjoying this magnificent day - sending you all so much love

@JazzyS thatās a great idea. The ācan waitā items tend to have outsized importance if I donāt identify them as can-waits. Itās weird, I get wound up and forget whatās urgent and what isnāt sometimes. Good to take the highest priority thing and run with it. Thatās done, plus a lot more. I did a lot today. Need a little exercise and reading time. Remembering how to live sober. Thank you

Should I make some green tea?

wow - check you out. Its funny how the ācan waitā items take over our task list and make us feel like we are not accomplishing as much as we are. I constantly need this reminder as i get lost in the long lists too. Glad we can be here reminding each other

Yes, we will do that! Itās one of my biggest relapse triggers. I struggle to pace myself. Iām just starting to emerge from my cocoon so I gotta take it slow! Decided to make chamomile instead of green. Breathing and letting the day close a bit early.

Off to bed check in. Was a tiresome day, no energy, nauseous. Cleaned out my freezers 
Feeling okish now. Watching TWD. I should sleep, I am tired, but I cant sleep

To-do lists never get done, thatās their nature!
Itās hard but I try and tackle the time sensitive thing that I least want to do first. The other tactic is to give yourself a maximum number of things to achieve - 3, for example, and just do them. Then stop, no more tasks added to the list or taken away. I also like to just scrap stuff that hasnāt been done even I it has been on āthe listā for a while.
Thereās a fantastic book called 4000 weeks which has a chapter specifically on this

Been an alright day. Relaxed all morning, did a little cleaning, and then went off to a looong vision appt with my son. Then grabbed his formula and now we are heading home. Weather is brutal today. Lots of rain. Altho i really dont mind. Its sort of refreshing. Just gonna make some good old hamburger helper for supper when we get home and relax the rest of the night. Hope everyone is enjoying their day
