☆ Day 2247 :walking_woman:
Slept bad and I’m nervous for my hospital appointment. Within 1 hour and 15 minutes I know what they decide to do.


For now I’m worrying to much and it isn’t helping one bit ofcourse :blush:
Back in the old days I would have a hangover right now because I definitely would have drank yesterday evening to “ease” my mind.
Not anymore.
Today? Doctor appointment, work, visiting a citytour light show in a wheelchair with my family tonight.
Have a good day ore night all and let’s add some sparkle to it if we can :star:

Went to the gym this morning got some hard work in. Then gave the lawns a mow when I got home.
Wife and I headed out to run a few errands before we picked up the kids from school.
Then it was off to the gym for kids training, and maybe foolishly another session for me.
Time for a camomile tea and relax.

Wishing you the best. Please update when you can. Have a nice evening whatever happens. Claudia, if you’re not 100% healed today, I feel that you will be at some point in time. I understand your worry and also your frustration at doing less for many months now. Admire your patience and fortitude through out it all. Big hugs friend. :people_hugging::people_hugging:
Be well
Be well, your foot. :foot:t2:

@Kitster Good to see you checking in!
@sobernow 3rd day is great. Do you have a plan what you are going to do today? Do you have tools how to deal with your cravings?

I like that attitude. I once heard someone saying: sober life is a somewhat aquired taste.

I am soooo tired today. No idea why. Glad I don’t have much to do today. I found a significant mathematical and design problem in my game and am going to focus on that. A walk and yoga later.

Today’s picture is a very green bike I spotted in Berlin about ten years ago.

Peace and love for life always :lotus:

10 days it is :grin: Body has been still recovering, but I keep active and healthy lifestyle so I hope it’s just a matter of short time to recover fully. I feel kind of empty despite the fact I have a good job. Don’t have a partner, kids are sort of away… Feel like I need to commit to some significant objective, goal anything that I can dedicate most of my time to. Any idea? :grin: Finance, running, walking, photography, traveling…

Checking in on day 528 AFAF.
I found out one of my friends has been in a psychiatric ward for the past month on Sunday. I went to visit her on Monday. She’s on the exact same ward I was in when I was in hospital four and a half years ago, and that is the first time I’ve been back there since then. It was an intense experience. My friend doesn’t accept that she should be in hospital but I’ve afraid she’s really not very well. This morning she sent me a text asking for help. I called another friend (who doesn’t know her) and he gave me the lifesaving advice that I should push her away in order to make sure that I stay safe. I think I really needed to hear that. My heart goes out to her but she just really needs to keep engaging with the support of the hospital setting.
I’ve also just come off the phone to my son’s guidance teacher as he’s been missing school due to exam stress. I have to look out for my family first.
I’m so glad to be doing all of this sober.
I have a yoga class planned for today and then a gardening session at the local community project. It’s a bright and calm day, although a little bit chilly.
Take care everyone

Right now I am developing it as a PC game, but I am not in the stage to commit to a final platform yet. So this decision ist still open as of now. The main game mechanic will be that of a platformer, and this can be achieved on every platform.
The problem came up yesterday when I tried to create a more precise rule set for a fundamental game mechanic. I then realized that I was working with a completely wrong mathematical model until now. At least now I know where the problems I have been having with the rule set originate from and can attempt to fix it. This will take a while. But I love solving these kind of problems :grin:

Day 3, slept 15 hours never been over 18 so hopefully today will be the turn around maybie I did to much yesterday aswell…

How’s things that day 3 is a tough one, use your tools, reach out for help and if you don’t know what to do instead of drink just do absolutely anything instead of pick up and if that doesn’t work the next best thing is do absolutely nothing :rofl: there were times in my recovery I knew if I moved then I was going to go straight to the shop and buy some so I gripped the chair and screamed my way to sobriety. This was never going to be easy but it is always going to be worth it.

Love it! Yes it’s that number 3 I for a long time I could never get past! I have already said to myself that I am not leaving the house today, had a demon fighting me all the way back last night. Here we come day 4 :slight_smile:

Yesterday was physio. Practitioner says he believes my issue stems from lack of stretching and the tendon… did some stretches with him and will continue and see him again next week. Did electro shock as well and I will use my Tams electric stimulation unit at home as well as stretches he showed me.
Did my first sauna session also. Enjoyed it immensely. Deciding if I want one. Then figure if a full size unit or the sleeping bag style. More research required.

Today upper body superset and more bike I suspect. Then going to do some insulation on office windows as it gets a tad chilly out there when the wind is howling like today.

Be good all.

Rest day today from running. Always find rest days difficult mentally but physically I need it.

I’m adjusting slowly to the space freeing up in my mind since deciding to step back from study.

Checking in - I have had a few pretty rough days, I’m all over the place, but today is a new day, so putting pen to paper and going to move in the right direction.

Feeling lonely, but will try and get connected
