Checking in daily to maintain focus #71

Checking in on day
561 no alcohol
70 nor form of weed
201 no form of nicotine

I haven’t checked in the past week pretty much
I had cell phone issues but hopefully it’s ok for a while.

Work in the morning after 2 days off. No biggie; just another day. I feel pretty good for having a work day in the morning and another 5 days of work ahead of me. I feel like I’m getting there.

Craving pot a bit… then weird dreams about booze. I don’t plan on ever going back but I feel like a escape from reality would be helpful, said the drug addict.
Not today saten

Family is good
Rooms messy
Cleaning time

Be back soon
Stay strong

Day 1012
Checking in on another clean and sober day. Feeling very much in the christmas spirit today (yes… I know its still November haha). I needed some cheering up today (feeling abit disconnected lately) so i put on some christmas music while cleaning, and now im watching Christmas Cookie Challenge on tv.

Also, my sons wheelchair is FINALLY being delivered today after having all the repairs done. Hes been using this incredibly heavy loaner chair for like 1.5-2 months. We are looking forward to getting his chair back. Im praying there is no issues with it moving forward.

Not much else to mention. Have a wonderful day everyone!

@Noshame good to see u checking in! Glad that things are going well overall. I get that feeling to now and then (wanting an escape). I sort of take it as a warning sign that i need to incorporate some “me” time, some down time, since we both know life can get crazy busy lol

Day 2309.

Threw my back out very, very badly a couple of days ago while bravely drying off from my morning shower.

Yknow what won’t make it heal faster? A drink.

It’s been a rough couple days. Fortunately or unfortunately I was also taking the rest of the week off for a retreat that starts tomorrow. It’s a lot of time to sit still and that was just leading to aches. Recovery brain kicked in and gently doing stretches on and off to try and regain some strength.

This too shall pass though, eh? One day at a time…

28 days sober! Hasn’t been quite as exciting as the epic film “28 days later” but it has been productive, calm and I can remember all of it!

Dinner out with a friend tonight in a bar. He had some drinks, I didn’t. It was fine, I didn’t mind at all which felt awesome. :raised_hands:

Less cryptic, good night on this sober day.

Did my superset, plus extra arms. Did my treadmill and for first time in 20 year’s I actually jogged… I’m so excited that I did and it went well and was not even difficult. Looking forward to expanding my distance.

Wishing you all a fantastic and sober eve

No. You’re not the only one experiencing this and it is exhausting. I know what I need to do, I just don’t do it. Still trying to dial it in myself. Hey, we’re not drinking so…:+1:

@Heath Congrats on a year! :clap:

Nice :ok_hand: :smile_cat:

Draining day. Lunch was slow, as usual. I hadn’t heard anything from my mom so I assumed all went well, but when I called after work she said they were keeping him longer bc his BP was all over the place. She didn’t seem too worried and said he told her not to go back and visit him. I layed down when I got home but my head kept spinning, until she text that he got discharged at 5 :relieved: Then I got up and realized how hungry I was and went to Taco Bell. Now just chilling, watching SpongeBob before bed. Tired.

Another day down and several tasks accomplished. Planned on taking my youngest to go bowling only to find out after a 30 minute drive that they were officially closed. That was disheartening but we enjoyed the raodtrip together by blaring music and singing along to songs, so good times were had nonetheless. I’m sitting back and just grateful for the smallest moments and just trying to make it all cou t for something. ODAAT :tada:
