Day 2282. Just waiting to clock into work. I got thinking about the drunken days. No matter how good work seemed to be going, the paranoia and anxiety was unbearable right before work. Now, i just take it as it comes.
Stay sober friends!

Im really having to work on changing my thinking this morning. Its been a bit of a challenge. Its 8am and already my plans for the day got turned upside down. Im working on acceptance and going with the flow. Im also extremely frustrated that I havent lost weight in like 2 weeks. Ive been on a calorie deficit, counting and weighing my food, exercising, and nothing is coming from it. Its upsetting. My first thought is, āF*ck it, I might as well eat whatever I want. No point in tryingā. But im choosing to ignore that thought. Just like drugs, using food to cope is not the way. That just enhances my toxic relationship with food. I WILL stay on track today. I will get an at home workout in later on (its something). And i will remember to be patient. I didnt get to where I am health wise in 1 day. It will take longer than that to see results. As for my plans, Iāll have to adjust. Which is fine. Hope everyones friday goes well!!

Day 812
Doing better today, just mediated, had my coffee and did better this morning with focusing on time. Still a little behind but not nearly as bad as yesterday.
Gotta stay focused on being stable and making myself do the work. Forcing it when I have to, but itās for a good cause.
Helping myself out by not eating poorly and in bulk or at night. I do feel better about that choice and woke up not feeling as awful as prior.
Not out of the woods and still feeling a mix of more okay than yesterday, but still not the best. About to go on a walk for at least a few blocks with my 12 yo. All thatās left after is journaling. Iām trying. Making myself be here. Still limiting my YouTube engagement. Made a rule to dodge it except for audiobooks, certain tutorial lists I have and a couple select podcasts. No shorts. Itās been good at lessening my time blindness.
Take care all, have a great Friday

Day 175 alcohol & nicotine free
Day 5 of no binge eating
I went to my local supermarket this afternoon & decided to buy some NA beer for tonight. In the UK or at the last in Northern Ireland NA drinks come under the same rules are drinks with alcohol in them. So you have to get ID checked at the self check out despite it being a non alcohol drink. Sadly I donāt need ID anymore, Iāve grey hair & crows feet instead.
The lady who served me was lovely & apologised for having to put my āalcoholā through herself even though thereās no alcohol in it.
We chatted about that for a minute & I said it doesnāt bother me even though I think itās silly but what does bother me is that I have to walk into the alcohol section to buy non alcoholic drinks and as an alcoholic in recovery itās uncomfortable. This had never occurred to her, we spoke about other supermarket chains who have there NA drinks closer to but not in the alcohol section.
And I know that maybe I shouldnāt be in there at all especially if Iām feeling like I want a drink but arenāt these drinks made for people like me so that I can drink one now and then & not destroy my life?
So Iāve decided to write a letter to their manager, regional manager, customer services etcā¦ it wouldnāt take much to move them 5 feet to the end of the aisle just outside of the alcohol section.
Iām glad that I said it but I left there feeling like I had a hit of adrenaline and I think it was because I used the words āalcoholic in recoveryā to a complete stranger. I talk to friends & family openly about my addiction. To be fair the lady was super nice about it all.
Hope you all have a wonderful, sober weekend

Youāre welcome and thank you!..I get this. Iāve been having a lot of intense dreams recently. Itās bound to have an impact on how we begin our day. I listened to Rich Roll interviewing Sam Harris the other day. Sam was talking about subconscious thoughts and how its almost like we are dreaming when awake and the impact that has on our mental health and that meditation is the key to catch these thoughts before they spiral. Today was betterā¦Busy but happy. Hope youāre well!
