Checking in daily to maintain focus #71

@Mischa84 sorry for this sad news :people_hugging::mending_heart:
@Amy30 glad you made it home safe and sober, and with comfy new jeans and trainers too :grinning:
@Lighter congrats on 250 days :tada:
@JazzyS thank you :blush: it wasn’t meant to be with the house, I just found out, it’s due to something I cannot change, so I accept it. Atleast I know now. I hope your head pain eases up and that you enjoy the pizza :pizza: :drooling_face:
@Mno wishing you luck for your interview :crossed_fingers:t2::four_leaf_clover:

1549 days no alcohol.
1014 days no cocaine.
28 days no vape.
1 day no binge-eating.

Had a bad nightmare last night. Like I do most nights. Was awake from 11pm-3am afterwards, then woke again at 5.

I’m having a haircut in an hour, I haven’t had one for five weeks. Sometimes it makes me feel a bit better about myself.

Tonight I lower the dose of my first medication again.

Travelling for therapy tomorrow. Hoping there are no issues on the trains this time. :crossed_fingers:t2:

Oh I’m sorry to hear about the house situation. Hopefully you can find a place with better rent or possibly see if things can change with the house opportunity :pray:t4:

Wishing you luck with the journey for therapy tomorrow

Morning check in.

Great therapy session yesterday. Feel good about where it’s going, feel like we spent the first 3 sessions just me telling my life’s story followed by a series of test, questions, lots of analysis, but were getting to the root and i’m happy about it.

217 days sober
I talked to my closest friend this morning and she agreed to lend me money until my card problem is fixed. I felt silly for being so stressed about it and being worried to ask for help.
I did manage to get a lot of productive work done this afternoon. Now that I’m coming to the end of this project I’m needing to find another one to get started on. I always find the searching for a new project phase exciting. I’m hoping to build onto the theme I’ve been working on the past months.

Been a while since I checked in on this thread. 7 months sober today!
Holidays are coming up and I’m feeling pretty good about it. I’ve developed new routines with healthy drinks that have replaced the ritual of alcohol. And I physically feel so much better that I never want to put that poison in me again.
It’s hard to reconcile how much I hurt myself and my family with alcohol.
My next goal is to make it through New Years. If I can do that (which I can), I’ll be so damn proud of myself for crawling out of that pit.

Day 7

I got my 1 week badge and I’m so proud.
Had some difficult days but I keep reminding myself why I need to quit gambling.
Put me and my family first and remember that that’s the most important thing :heart:

Hello my friends, another runing training with friend of mine, time passes by so quickly in 2+ group :grin: I’m glad body is functioning well, and aerobic condition is improving piece by piece. I’m on a diet as well as heavy drinking left some fat on my belly :pleading_face:. Imagine fat gets to your head and around :joy: I think there would be much lesser people with unhealthy BMI then. Have a great day, evening

One week sober! I know a week isn’t much but I’m proud of myself. The urges are getting stronger now but I’m not going to give in

When do you see your therapist and what did she say?
I’m glad you’re here writing.
