Checking in daily to maintain focus #73

Day 840
Woke up and felt like I cought some virus :smiling_face_with_tear: My coworker is sick, she might ā€œgiftedā€ it to me…yay :grimacing:
Red eyes and a sore throat.
My plan was to get out and stroll through the city, get some groceries I missed yesterday.
Lets say that I’m extremely grateful to live in this city where grocery delivery services exist. They’re more expensive than going by yourself but absolutely appreciated right now.
Stay safe fam :heart: Much love!

Good morning everyone. Checking in on Day 23 here and am quietly sitting here with the dog having coffee before everyone else wakes up. Slept a bit better than normal last night woke up at 5:30 instead of 3:30 like the past few days so that was pretty awesome :star_struck:. Going to get on the new treadmill in a bit to get this old body of mine up and moving this morning and also thinking I may go get my haircut today as it’s been over a year and I think sober Tisha deserves a new look.
Hope everyone has a Safe and sober Saturday and will probably check back in again later. :blush:

Day 1,680 clean and sober today. It is Monday for me which is fine. I got some things accomplished this weekend but spent the majority of my time watching movies and napping which most times makes me feel like I should be doing more with the time that I have here on this planet. I am also sick of being lazy and longing for a healthier body so I am going to force myself to get to the gym everyday for at least a half hour to start. Have an amazing day everyone, love you guys! :sunglasses::metal:t2:

Checking in on day
619 no alcohol
127 no form of weed
259 nic free

Had a bad night
I was very grumpy and kinda selfish. Made it about me
That’s one of my character defects. Thinking it’s all about me
I was grumpy and just went to sleep but things had to get done
I was very grumpy
I didn’t say anything. I just went to bed

It could be my med decrease
I went from 900mg of gabapentin to 600mg. I don’t want to make excuses though. I have to keep this in mind that I went down and it’s quite a decrease too

Facts
I was selfish
I was grumpy
I didn’t help

I acknowledge and accept this

Now I just simply don’t be like that and be helpful and listen more

Day 17 today.

Not feeling so good because I didn’t get a good nights rest.

Was working at the evening job late and then came home hungry and put the kids to bed.

They love their bedtime stories and to be tucked in.
I love doing it but I also had to eat.

Tucked them in and then started eating at 10:30pm which is too late for me. Didn’t sleep until an hour later.

Not sure if the bad sleep was due to have a full stomach of food right before sleeping or if it’s just the withdrawals.

Either way, staying sober.

Today I’ll go to bed early. That’s a promise.
Going to tuck in the kids at 8pm lol.

If that’s too early for them, well then they can come and give daddy a bedtime story and tuck me in for a change. Lol

Day 22

The mornings are hard because i wake up extremely tired. I feel better after a walk and it gets better towards the evening. Year ago it was different, the evenings were hard, almost torchuring. I’ve been accomplished to be less self-centered to day and be more present. I don’t know how, I just repeat the same routines day by day. Maybe it was because the nice springy weather today. It has been very windy weather and there are branches all over the snow fell from the trees. There were some ā€nacreous cloudsā€ in the sky. Looking forward for the spring, my favorite season of the year.

Have a good 24

Day 379 Addiction Free!!

Was up to take in the sunrise, then hit gym for a double this morn. Got a solid and fasted hour in of weight training, then 30 mins of treadmill time… all before breakfast!

Cleaned up, fed dogs and cat, now am about to go and assemble a new heavier duty weight bench. Then perhaps a trip in town to grab some 75lb kettlebells for my farmers walk as the 50lb’ers are a little too easy now.

Y’all have a wonderful Saturday. Get after it!!

Great morning view ! There is a line from a Barenaked Ladies song that says ā€œ It’s colder than it looks outsideā€. I think this describes this shot well.

I was luckily it was right before I worked out so I was just fueled up with some angry Emo screaming in my ears lol Woke up to 15 messages asking for plug number (who is my personal family but actually respects and encourages sobriety so I obviously couldn’t burn that bridge) But I refused. He was clean 7 days so a lot is mental now and he’s a narcissist to boot. He’s blocked now and I text my youngest and told her I had to block him and why (luckily I was honest with her from the beginning) She has the ability to reach me multiple ways. I just hope I did the right thing. I just know I can’t jeopardize what I’ve accomplished because of him (AGAIN)

Good morning everyone!
Cheking in today on my 16th day sober.
I really did have a very good night sleep last night.

Yesterday I came back from work and my girlfriend was a bit drunk because she had a couple beers, but at the moment she already has stopped drinking. That didnt bother me because I know the relationship is coming to and end so this will not be happening often in the future.
Right now she is going thru a deep process about knowing and loving herself and she is in the middle of the fight about accepting herself and fighting with herself. She is in conflict.
Her energy is all over the place and makes day to day living somehow strange and difficult for me to be as I am in my own growing process.

Her sister is coming next week for a whole month to stay in the house. I am trying to handle this issue carefully because this gathering could be wild and intense. I will focus on my health and work and try to be detached from them when the intensity comes.
I just want peace and calmness. Taking things easy. Having morning coffee chilling, write and read. Have a healthy meal and have some good work and then at the end of the day watch a good movie. Thats it for me at this time.

Well, thanks everybody for the support.
Have a nice 24 hours. Peace and love!
