Checking in daily to maintain focus #72

@Kareness your evening sounded lovely and relaxing.
How is your day starting off?
@Just_Laura my goodness that sounds like a super busy day and you got way more accomplished then you set out to do. I know it sucks when the original items on the list didn’t get done but remind yourself that you actually were busy all day and tackled many things that need attention first. We tend to set goals for ourselves (big or small) and then beat ourselves for not getting it done. Not thinking or congratulating ourselves for what we did accomplish or remembering that our original plan may have been unreasonable. Hope today is easier :hugs:
@s_unrelax yummy custard! I love hot fresh custard. 25 days is amazing work :flexed_biceps:t4: :flexed_biceps:t4:. Glad to see you stacking up the days. I totally get the fear of taking on a new addiction while trying to leave another. Are you able to cheer gum or fiddle with something when you feel like smoking? Have you checked out Grumpy A-holes (quitting cigarettes/ nicotine products) (Part 2) thread? Many great ideas and tips here. ODAAT :flexed_biceps:t4:. I’m doing well - thanks for asking. Just chugging away trying to make it through the holidays.
@soberwalker love the pic and the imagery of the wings. Having the pool to yourself is my absolute favorite thing. Super excited for you ..2 days and you’ll be plaster free and have a fully healed foot​:heart_exclamation::hugs:
@Noshame it sucks being tired and having to push through. Hope you gain some energy today. This is when we have to stay in guard cause our addiction knows we are tired and may not resist as much. Remind yourself of how far you’ve come and that alcohol will offer no comfort. Keep fighting the good fight :flexed_biceps:t4:

Don’t let this discourage you. I know it sucks. You have just gone through a cycle and are getting back to feeling like you…you will be able to get you time and range back. Just remember tintake it slow and be gentle with yourself. Glad you got better sleep :hugs:

It definitely is. You do what you feel will help you the most. Your mental state and sobriety are first priority. Maybe write out a pros and cons list to help you decide and see the benefits of each place?

Nothing sad about that…I was getting excited for you as I was reading :joy:. Absolutely love the smell and feel of clothes right out of the dryer.
@Refreshedperspective hope the head cold feels better soon. Sending healing vibes :folded_hands:t4:
@Juli1 sorry love ..we do go through our ups and downs. I used to hate going to work cause the temp would always be insanely hot or cold. Never knew how to dress. Had a space heater and a small fan ready to use :winking_face_with_tongue:. You are suitable for this world. You are worthy! You are beautiful! Hope your day improves for you my friend. Don’t give up on your goals :people_hugging::heart_exclamation:

Checking in on Tuesday morning
Didn’t sleep great and feeling a little sick with a migraine. The migraine could be the cause for the I’ll feeling. Don’t want to stay in bed so gonna attempt to move today. My phone calls may not get done today ..will play by ear.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all so much love :heart::heart:
