Checking in daily to maintain focus #73

That is a great idea Oskar. Plenty people have such a list in their wallet. Whenever cravings hit them they’ll read that list. It often helps. Should you feel like the urges are too much, connect with sober people. Share with us, join an online meeting. Whatever helps. You’ll get through this. And then there is the Friday Thread #3
@Blondie75 Sounds like a good plan Sarah. Stay away from difficult places and reach out when you feel like your sobriety is threatened.
@MrFantastik I have to ask: What is a bush walk? Like in the woods? I did lots of geocaching back in the day. It was lots of fun. When your kids are the right age, this can be a great adventure for all of you.
@AEGFletcher The early days are usually difficult mood wise. Your brain chemistry needs to rebalance itself and that takes quite a while. There is nothing wrong with you, your body is healing. Keep yourself occupied and maybe join an online meeting. They help me a lot. Have a nice sober day today.
@Juli1 I’m a bit late to the party love, but here it goes: Congratulations on your year! Herzlichste Glückwünsche! You did such an amazing job! :partying_face: :muscle: Enjoy the spa, indulge yourself. You have earned it!
@Mno The sun has aparrently decided to reach to us aswell. Enjoy your day. Fill up on sunshine. Tomorrow we’ll be at half time to the spring equinox.
@1in8billion Nice to see you :wave:
@Joyce19 Such a wonderful share :heart_eyes: Thank you. It’s so nice to hear how you managed to break this cycle of violence. Best luck for the parents to be and your whole family.
@handoferis I hope your wife’s scans will go well and bring some answers.
@GVLNative Best of luck for your exam tomorrow! :crossed_fingers:

Had a wonderful morning meeting. We discussed the idea of acceptance in detail. It is a difficult topic for me. But I loved this quote: “Acceptance has two parts. It involves both a surrender and and empowerment.”
The home help is here. He already did the groceries and is no doing the laundry. I am very grateful for that help.
I will do my monthly review today, some rowing in the afternoon. That’s it.

Today’s picture is a zen koan about acceptance that got shared in our meeting this morning.

Peace and love always :lotus:
