Checking in daily to maintain focus #70

Yesterday was a bank holiday here so I’ll spend today confused about what day of the week it is, and the clocks changed at the weekend and most of my work is based off EST time so I’ll be confused about the time too :grin:

Got my morning run done so the day is already a good one.

@Butterflymoonwoman Sending a hug. You are doing great. We all have off days. And if you are anything like me, when I was in active addiction I was so messy, that my sober mess could not even begin to compare.

Day 349. Hey sober fam, weekend with my girls was good. One thing i noticed is i was very irritable this weekend and latelt in general, not sure if its possibly medication reduction. But im keeping an eye on it. Parts for my wheel he here today so ill get that together and possibly out for a ride. Will see, im looking forward to trying this thing in the winter, it will seriously step my game up in the summer. I wasnt going to say anything but i am super excited, i did order a new wheel yesterday, its so badass and i cant wait to get it. Im not broke because of this, i have plenty of money for the girls and christmas so i do not feel bad about buying the wheel. Ill take having this and everything over 11 months ago. Much love

Yoga daily :v: however, yoga is to my anxiety like deet is to tropical mosquitos.

I could be more mindful of breathing and learning new techniques. :sparkling_heart:

@GOKU2019 costumes can be super easy and cheap.
I know one year my bro went as a cereal killer and all he did he pin small boxes of cereal with plastic knives through them on his clothes. Have fun today :blush:

This is key in both points. You can opt out of being measured at the gym and just go do your workouts with your own agenda. This is your journey and I think you are kicking ass. Don’t let that mind try to convince you otherwise :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::people_hugging:
@MrFantastik aaah yes - that can create stress and scenarios in the mind. You got this and you are sober and alert so that’s a huge plus right off the bag. Hope the anxiety settles soon

This made me laugh :joy:. Hope you are feeling less anxious today :pray:t4:

Tuesday morning check in
Slept like crap. I am trying to wear myself out to sleep but the pain won’t let me stay asleep. I’m sure I’ll hit a zombie wall soon enough and zonk out. Till then… coffee. Did run outta hearts mid way through finishing check in @tailee17 - I totally feel your frustration.
Gonna try for a walk to start the day and see where the day leads us.

Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day… sending you all so much love :heart::heart:

Day 1109 AF

Good morning, fam.

Couldn’t sleep for shit on my buddy’s couch. I’m dead tired right now. Made it to the office.

@JazzyS My co-worker had an extra ghost shirt from pacman. It fits me small, tho. Lookin’ like winnie the pooh.

@acromouse I still got Costco toilet paper from 2020 :laughing:.

I’ll catch up with y’all later. Take care. ODAAT :heart:

208 days sober
Just a quick check in today. It’s been a long busy day here. Doing well but am ridiculously tired tonight and going to bed early. Hope you’re all having a good sober day!

No, seriously, that’s what they’re called. Clothes for fat people, it’s the actual name of the store. And they have pictures of exagerated cartoons of fat people on the storefront. :rofl:

Edit: I know it sounds made up, but honest to God, these stores exist all across certain parts of Europe. They’re called Fat People Store (or some variation of it), the storefront graphics are offensive and they hold larger sizes.

Feeling good, feeling great today… day 31! This is the 2nd time ever that I’ve gone beyond 30 days of sobriety ( there was a 3rd occurence but it was simply because I was without a phone for 30 days, so that doesnt count). The last time I crashed and burned miserably on the cusp of my 30th day ending. Then I started on a whirlwind of relapses, acting out and couldn’t even gather a few consecutive days togather for weeks. I was in bad shape. I’m glad to say that I’m on the mend and feeling better with each passing day. I feel safe and free knowing I have a community of non-judgmental support as well. Currently working Step 1 with my sponsor so let’s see how this goes, shall we.
