Checking in daily to maintain focus #72

Day 1026
I have my son home with me today as he is really not feeling well. Im hoping to get a tracheostomy sample in so that we can figure out what kind of bug he has and can treat it. We are just waiting on the Drs response now.

Other than that, I am okay. Just going to do some cleaning today and take care of my boy. Hope everyone enjoys their day!

245 days sober
Slept real bad last night but still got up for a morning hike and then some trail running.


I felt better after the exercise but have been dragging my feet since the afternoon. I hit a wall and my low energy set in. I managed to get some good work done but the bad sleep throughout the past few days are starting to get to me. Iā€™m hoping for a better sleep tonight.

Just finished shoveling. Me and my grandfather in law. We got out there just in time because it got warm then heavy not too long after we started.i guess itā€™s going to rain then freeze overnight so Iā€™m glad we finished

My numbers got mixed up for some reason but I am 7 months no nicotine as of yesterday

Not much else going on
Day off from work. :slight_smile:

Iā€™m charging my car and have half an hour to kill so itā€™s the perfect time to check in. I finished a work project this morning and now have to get started on a new one that my boss is for some reason following closely. Paranoid me could think he is checking up on me to prove I am not up to snuff. But new sober me doesnā€™t think that way, and I have to just think he is just a tough and demanding boss in general. Overall I am happy to be in my job and not feeling the economic insecurity I felt all the time when I was consulting is worth the occasional tough moments with my boss. And I am becoming a better engineer because of his pushing. Anyway, I didnā€™t think I would go on about work so much. Iā€™m coming up on my 8 year soberversary in 9 days and am planning what meetings to take a token at and from whom. Itā€™s always a bit stressful for me, but I like seeing others take a token, so Iā€™ll do it. Have a happy and sober 24 everyone!

Day 6. Good day. Went out for lunch with work colleagues, all but one of whom was drinking. Theyā€™re used to see me not drinking now which is good. No more questions about why Iā€™m not joining in. When I think back to how crappy I would feel in the afternoon after booze at lunch I wonder what the hell I was doing. At least I have achieved that in 18 months of moderation!

Checking in 282 days. Had an earthquake centered elsewhere but felt it here, Got pre warning from phone and my cat jumped off couch and came to me. Hubby called to check in on me. That was nice.

Iā€™m tired and want to sneak a quick nap in.

Have a great Thursday my friends!
