Afternoon work check in. Holy F I donā€™t feel like working. I need a break, but I canā€™t get it. I wish I could hit the gym, or sit on the couch with a book right now!
Just going to keep pushing through, and try my best to minimize cheap distractions and easy dopamine hits.

I misplaced a knit hat made by my mother-in-law for my daughter when I was tidying up for our Halloween party on Sunday. Hopefully it turns up! Iā€™m in trouble until I find it.!
Edit: found the hat right after work :smile:

Have a good one.

Day 6 check in.

Didnā€™t sleep particularly well (body having to relearn how to fall asleep without alcohol in my system) - got maybe 4 hours, but tonight I will try again. Itā€™s always this way and it will pass.

Luckily everyone else in my class this week (back to studying for one week only) is jet lagged from having flown from all round the world so they all look tired too!

Room service salad and fruit followed by some more reading before an early night. If I sleep well I intend to go running in the morningā€¦ been a while so more of a fast walk probablyā€¦

Iā€™m grateful to have climbed out of my hole and be able to see the light again.

Checking in day 25. Feeling ok, sleep was a tiny bit better last night. Trying to quit vaping too but keep failing on that. Decided not to be too hard on myself for that as alcohol is the main thing at the moment and quiting both at same time is maybe a bit much. Will try again once Iā€™ve finished what Iā€™ve got and take it from there. Hope everyone is having a good day!

Day
751 sober
489 sh free
65 hours smoke free

Not smoking is just like second nature. I havent even gone to pick up. Maybe its from all the other stress or maybe because i told myself i need to quit to be here for my kidsā€¦
I am in a weird headspace but im making it. For now

When I awake tomorrow;

Hereā€™s to 300 AF days! I once doubted I could make it this far, but here I am, stronger every day.

Life feels balanced now. Sobriety may not bring the extreme highs and lows, but thatā€™s its own kind of freedom. I wake up at the same time, sleep well, and start each day feeling clear and steady. I donā€™t miss the uncertainty that came with alcoholā€”the unpredictability of moods, the ups and downs.

To anyone on this journey: try to stay true to what makes you happiest. Youā€™re building a life worth being fully present for.

Many congratulations on tomorrowā€™s 300 days! :tada::muscle:

Thanks for reminding me, I hadnā€™t realised how much I donā€™t miss waking up startled from an alcoholic coma, immediately dreading to check if todayā€™s hangover is manageable :confounded:

Thinking out loud " I read the check ins, I look through the sober selfies, I read about all the wonderful things people do and feel. Isnā€™t the world a better place because of us and our sobriety"
Take a step back, take a look at yourselves and give yourself a huge round of applause. Your amazing.
