Today I’m 8 months sober! Had a busy work day full of constant interruptions so typical day here. I slept later than usual so didn’t get to start off with my morning hike so this made me feel a bit off…I always feel emotionally off when I don’t have proper exercise. Wasn’t a bad day just a bit off kilter. Am hoping to get my hike/run in tomorrow morning. In the afternoon I threw a little birthday party for my friends daughter. She turned 3 today and was a fun time with them. I put 3 candles on her cake but she was afraid of them poor kid! Came home for dinner and have been relaxing since then. Hoping to sleep well tonight. --- _[View the full topic](https://talkingsober.com/t/checking-in-daily-to-maintain-focus-71/188646)._
