Checking in daily to maintain focus #69

Lunch time Friday workday check in.
The light at the end of a hard household work week is in sight.
My wife was at a work event last night and said she spent a lot of time bragging about what an amazing partner and father I am.
She spent lots of time thanking and complimenting me when she got home late last night.
We are still way behind on house/life to-do list, and it takes a lot of work to keep things going here family-wise but:…My head and heart are in a wonderful place right now.

Happy Friday to you from me.

I had a Dr’s appointment today. He’s still not happy that my blood glucose levels are in the safe zone so he’s added another medication. I see him again next Friday.

I almost didn’t come to my AA meeting today but here I am. Glad I made it. I’m not sure if I’ll share or not despite thinking the whole week that I will. I’ll read the room 1st I think. Take care you all and be safe :v:t2:

Checking in! :wave:t2:
Today it was the last day of our trainee, she works just for the summer at our office. One of my colleagues opened a bottle of cava to toast. I declined, but seriously, the smell alone seemed nauseating to me. I never was a cava drinker in the first place. The results os my friends biopsy came back, she hasn’t got breast cancer, finally some good news! :clap:t2::blush:

Thank you my friend. :blush:. I appreciate it. And a slow day to appreciate life is helping already. I can get sucked into rushing around easily, still. Meanwhile the seasons are changing and there are beautiful butterflies everywhere. The deer are grazing. Nice breeze and not as hot. I don’t want miss the Wild Life :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: I’m really lucky to have them.

Have a great day and thank you for your support.

Thanks, Billy! I already feel better without him having no impact in my life. I totally blocked him.

Day 936
Today has been okay overall. Half day at school for my son, so I had to cram everything I wanted to do, in the morning. Got my workout done and went to the dollarstore. Grabbed an iced coffee on the way home. Today i am really focusing on my nutrition bcuz last night i overate which resulted in me not feeling well at all. So today i cut back a bit on food and made sure to eat healthy, get my protein in, and drink alot of water. I feel better today.

No urges to use drugs today. Grateful for that. As autumn is approaching, i am expecting to get cravings here n there. Its been that way for years. Every fall season I usually get urges to use drugs. Have no idea why lol

I am feeling a little disconnected today too. Especially from this forum, which onky o can blame for that. I havent been interacting on here very much or doing very much reading. Would like to get more involved in this forum again.

All n all, i am okay today. I get an extra day off of work tmrw bcuz my husband has to tattoo. So yay for me! But back to work on sunday. Have a great night everyone! :butterfly:
