Checking in, again!
This afternoon I went for a walk, my first thought was “no, I’m too lazy”, but luckily I gave myself a little kick in the butt, and finally went.
After that I had a nice bath while listening to an audio book. Tomorrow I’m back to work. The next booze filled tournament is this Saturday… 
I guess I’ll re-read “Alcohol lied to me” from Craig Beck this week.
I can honestly say I am so happy that my mom has found the apartment, this was one of our big headache factors, I know this was stressing her out, and now a huge lift has fallen of her, as well as my shoulders!

If that means you want to drink: don’t!!! And I also don’t believe that or you wouldn’t be here. You might be craving as drinking probably is the only coping mechanism you feel you have right now. Been there. Done that. But please don’t. Distract. Delay. Discuss. Drink water. Deep breaths. Don’t give in. It will kill you. I don’t think and feel it’s your time yet friend. Hang in there Indi

Day 946
Happy Monday everyone! Having a decent day so far overall. Went to do a big grocery shop early this morning and then hit the gym. Just got home not long ago. Really struggled today with me comparing myself to others at the gym today. Idk what that was about bcuz i rarely do that. Anyway, i completed my workout and Im so proud that i pushed thru. Now just to tidy up the apartment and put laundry away. Thats about it for the day 
much love to u all!

…hope things get easier for you… remember to breathe 
this won’t lasty friend… keep pushing forward cause it does get easier
@Jesile glad you are taking precautions to help your mindset before you have the upcoming function. Alcohol is full of lies and is a poison. We don’t need that in our lives.
@MrMoustache check you out David! 70 days is amazing. Keep kicking ass my friend
@Butterflymoonwoman ugh…yeah, I get that mental bs our heads play on us. You are a rockstar my friend…glad you didn’t let that mental anguish get to you and you pushed through … Super happy for you

Checking in: Day 56
Feeling a little down today. I’m telling myself that it is the rainy/cloudy weather. My mental health is just so much better when I can get outside for a walk in the sunshine.
Enjoyable weekend though, lots of yard work on Saturday (about 5.5 hrs) then watched some college football at our neighbor’s house and grilled.
Yesterday, I went to a friend’s to watch the 1pm NFL games. He is a big bourbon drinker (used to be my drink of choice) so I was proud of myself to be able to sit there and not drink any. Football season and the fall weather definitely have increased my cravings though so just reminding myself to take it day by day.
Time to read my book and relax before I head to sleep. Hope everyone’s doing well!

Hey im kinda dreading checking in today because im all over the place didnt know men could be like this or its just me idk but i real dont like feeling this way i would rather be mad, angry, instead of sad lonely heartbroken . Turn around watch hallmark tv and it hits all the dam feeling for me happpy sad funny angry all right back to depressed so stupid. Guess i now know that i never want to feel like this again and if or once i get passed this i will avoid people places and things so i dont have to deal with it again my plan is to pay all the bills off asap get another truck and maybe a trailor and disappear then i never have to feel the worst feeling in the world for me right now. I miss my ex so much and all im trying to do is make my self move on is that right to do ? It was so easy in the past. Maybe it wasnt but i would just go out and pick up and made myself mask up the uneasy feeling inside and then it was ok at the moment with finding or looking for someone else 
i was suck a jerk no wonder im feeling the way i am guess i deserve it hope it ends before i can’t take no more but i am getting it. Life dont play fare no matter how hard you try to get what you real want or care for like my mom passing a few months ago and and my ex asking me to leave alot has happened so so sorry for throwing my broke down on you all just need to get it out.
