Checking in daily to maintain focus #69

@Laner thank you. I’m sorry you’ve suffered so much, but I’m very happy to hear things are improving for you. It comes and goes for me too, but overall it has gotten better with time. Wishing you a peaceful evening and night.

Chin chin checking in :wink: Chill day today though was a bit productive - vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned floors in my flat, baked a bread and put everything into right places in kitchen. Sobriety feels kind of different after last relapse - I’m much better connected with inner sober myself and God, higher power, calm, body is recovering very well and so many lessons learned from my past that it’s truly very hard to even think of taking one drink again. Love ya all

I think this will be great – something just for you! It is highly useful in finding your way back to you and hopefully shedding some of that guilt. We really can’t change the past. Foresight would be great but when you were in the midst of it all and dealing with so much I am impressed with all that you did accomplish. Sending you love and hugs :people_hugging: :heart: Sorry that you are still dealing with CPS stupid issues – hope all that gets resolved quickly :crossed_fingers:
@lighter Oh Marie – I’m so sorry for all the grief and sadness that is surfacing – how are you doing today? Sending you big comforting hugs my friend. Awe Thank you too friend :heart: Sorry that sleep has been so brutal and trauma is causing the night sweats. Sending you positive and healing vibes – hoping you are able to get some solid zzz’s soon :hugs: Oh I’m glad today is a lovely day for you – I too love those brisk walks in the cool morning air :heart:
@mrsodh Wishing you the best and know that we are only a click away if you ever do need support :hugs: Much love Sophia – you will be missed!
@asp Way to go with 1 week + of sobriety! Keep up the amazing work :tada: :muscle:
@fullafarts totally the right topic and no need to apologize for the text – this is a place for us to let it all out – check in and feel out our feels. I am glad to see you back with us on day 1. Don’t let that pesky voice tell you that you can moderate or just have 1. This is the slippery slope that would get me and I know it never ends at one. Stay sober and your mind, body and overall health will be grateful you did
@vanessa8 YEAH! 5 months and going strong Vanessa! That is an amazing number of days and so glad to see you enjoying your sober lifestyle :tada: :clap: :muscle:

WTF? That is a crazy ass symptom – grateful you did not have to experience that again.
@bomdhil WOW- that is awesome my friend – 2 weeks strong :muscle: You are awesome Thomas – appreciate you and thank you for the best wishes :hugs:

Love this for you! No monsters but you are beating down the scary walls as you step out of your comfort zone! Way to go friend – triple 2’s and going strong. Glad your new job is turning out to be a good experience
@acromouse Hope your daughter has a wonderful party celebration today – Ghost giving you trouble EH? Looking forward to reading the stories
@dan.h84 WOOT WOOT 50 days and loving that your mindset is improving too. Keep going friend – ODAAT :muscle:
@catmancam Sorry to hear about your sad depressive day my friend. Hoping today is better :heart: :hugs: Sending you loving hugs :people_hugging:

Checking in Sunday afternoon
Got up super early for my brisk walk - was so lovely in the chill air. Grateful that I did get my reflective bands so that cars can see me walking (unfortunately I forgot to put them back on when I realized I needed a jacket) – still in one piece so all worked out :laughing:
My sister is amazing and came to help out with the festival so that I would not have to do it. Don’t think my body would have been able to do it anyways. I did manage a good 1 hour swim which was very nice and helped reduce my back pain for a bit (wish I could just stay in the water lol).
Going to take a nice nap now and play the rest of the day by ear.
Wishing Everyone a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all so much love :heart: :heart:

I had super nice weekend! My sister with her man and daughter (she is 18 already, how?!) visiting us from London and my aunt from Poland. They are staying only for a weekend but we are spending it pretty active. Today we were in Brugge in Belgium, beautiful city.

day 15
God grant me the serenity to accept my addiction gracefully and humbly. Grant me also the ability to absorb the teachings of the Program, which by its past experience is trying to help me. Teach me to be grateful for the help I receive…
@JazzyS I am glad that you have passed a wonderful Sunday

Sorry friend – relationships can be hard and moving on from someone when you are still in contact with them is very difficult and hurtful.
I have no advice but do know that time heals all (sometimes that takes longer than we would like but you do eventually heal). :hugs:
