Trying to be happy and help the kids set up a birthday dinner. I am really trying to focus my happy energy towards them. They deserve happiness. Love and affection. Peace and stability. They deserve the whole world. And i am going to do everything in my power to make that happen for them.
I cant think of me or what i want. I have to focus. I dont know how to do this. Even though ive done it before… it never gets any easier…
Day 3
I think this is the first time checking in like this. Day 3 has started with a headache and hunger lol. I have not had any cravings today which the weekend are always hard espically with football season. My husband has been amazing and is fine that we stay home for the game ( we normally go to a bar and there are free shots given on touchdowns.) Even though i said it would be fine hes like nah i dont want to go. Hes so good. Thats my day 3 now to go find something to eat.
Day 10 check in. Double digits again. Great day today (albeit bordering on doing too much…) with gym, running, gardening, DIY and weekend jobs around the house. Sunday lunch without wine. Feeling well prepared for the week to come
So it’s a little late but after everything that has been going on I decided to book a last minute trip to Portugal with my wife and our youngest 2 children (older 2 couldn’t get time off work).
Whilst I was away I celebrated my 3 years sober.
Had a lovely relaxing time and now I’m ready to smash my recovery into the next gear. Amp up the non contact training and hit my peak physical condition.
1 week tomorrow
First time I’ve tryed stopping alcohol. Usually drink about 3-4 times a week. But was starting to drink more in those days the last 6 months roughly.got weekend away in caravan this Friday till Monday and I’ve always drank when away so I’m so going to try get by this one without fingers crossed.
Didn’t sleep much last night. Kept waking up coughing. Drank some medicine in the morning. I played lego blocks with the little man. Watched the Chargers game. Went outside for a bit just to get outta the apartment. I feel better this evening.
Gonna do some PT exercises and watch a show.
I hope all is well with everyone. It’s back to the grind tomorrow. I’m looking forward to the 3 day weekend next week.
Checking in. Still sick. I did manage to get out and do a few things over the weekend. Also took cold meds and laid on the couch watching football a lot. Going to bed early and back to work tomorrow. Hopefully im feeling better. Today i went to one of my favorite places - a local alpaca farm. They are such sweet animals and it always makes me happy when i visit them.
Day 994
Good evening friends! Busy day all around for me today. Work, 3 loads of laundry, bath for my son, and tidying up. Havent stopped since i got home.
Im feeling a bit more positive about things, thanks to my HP. Im fighting off the urge to be anxious or worried about things that are happening in my life at the moment. Relying on my HP helps a ton!
I had a chance to do a quick meditation today and boy did i miss that quiet time. It was only like 5 min but it was a nice reintroduction to meditation. I think im going to get back on Insight Timer this week and check out a few others.
Also going to get back into my exercise this week. My son is home mon, wed, and fri and so i wont be able to hit the “real” gym, but i WILL get my ass up at 555 and hit the gym in my building for an hour. No excuses! Alarm is already set lol
