2nd check in. My daily routines the past few days:

  • i wake up about 10:30 and have about 3 cups of coffee in my bed and check TS, the news and some miscellanous stuff on my phone
  • After about an hour i go to feed 4 reindeers and take a 6 km (about 3,7 mails) walk with my dog to an island near us
  • When i get back home it’s usually past 1 pm and i eat ā€breakfastā€ (i have no apetite when i wake up)
  • After breakfast i scroll my phone reading mainly TS and just relaxing
  • If it has snowed, i do snow work and if it’s cold i heat up the stove and get firewood out of the shed
  • Check in here once or twice ofc
  • Around 4 pm i eat a proper dinner
  • At 5 pm i take another walk with my dog through our home village to another direction, it’s about 8 km (about 5 mails)
  • When i get back home it’s around 7 pm and i turn the sauna on
  • About 8 pm i go to sauna alone or with my dad. We usually discuss there about the day or worries so it’s our private time. Sauna is for us Finnish people often a bonding place where we can discuss all sort of matters or just be quiet. Often alcohol related but not anymore :grinning: Meeting with friends in my youth often included sauna, drinking, eating and chilling and maybe go to a bar after that
  • After sauna it’s chilling and maybe a movie
  • 10 pm watching the news on TV, supper and go to bed
  • In bed i am awake for some reason about 3 hours but that doesn’t bother me, i am relaxed and trying to meditate

These routines have been helpful and the days go by quite quickly but i should replace scrolling my phone in the spare time with some else activity. I’m no afraid to change my routines but this has worked for so far.

Hey Thomas, haven’t seen you checking for a while (maybe I just missed it - this thread sometimes goes too fast for me!) Good to see you around! :muscle:t2::blush:

I’d be catapulted out of my bed after 3 cups of coffee! :rofl::rofl:

Checking in! :wave:t2:
Just finished my workweek! Today I’m a bit lazy, so other than the plank challenge won’t be doing any workout today! In fact I’m already in my pj’s. It’ll be planks in pj’s!
Tomorrow afternoon I have my MRI, not sure why they’re doing it, cause I’ve already been diagnosed for my shoulder, but anyway… I’ll go.
Monday I’m gonna meet with a friend for breakfast and in the afternoon with my mom. Thus, my social calendar is already overbooked! (at least for what I’m used to and comfortable with!) :see_no_evil:
Other than that, I’m feeling at peace, and relaxing now on my couch with the kitties! :call_me_hand:t2:

Day two being sober. Woke up with blurry vision but I think it’s because I took my meds late last night. Had a few breakdowns through guilt but tomorrow will be a new day.
This site has been a god send so thank you everyone for your kind words these past couple days :black_heart::black_heart:

Off work for a whole week (doing a happy dance)! Decided to stay home and do staycation. And give my home office (where I work from) a fresh coat of paint!! Maybe redecorate a bit too.

354 days sober

Chilling afternoon.
Had a lot of things to organise in the morning.

Today’s thoughts. What the hell am I complaining about? I have a good life, I am loving, I am loved. Take this life! Make the best of it.

And that’s resting today :heart:

11 days pending…

My 16 year old twins are like this, they won’t eat breakfast. I have had to explain it to the school nurse more than once when they go in with a stomach ache for something totally unrelated.

Worked really hard today at work
Trying to accept things the way they are and change the things I can

I melted my sole into today’s work on karts
It doesn’t seem hard but I was out there for 6hours by myself until 1pm or 13:00 from 07:00am.

I have just 1 hour of work left

Take care

I was planning to get to my consulting work this morning but am having stomach issues. So I will wait for a bit. Plus Cori is asleep on my lap. This hasn’t been the easiest week with the twins both home from school sick. Usually they have their lunch at school but with them both home I’ve had to plan for lunches for them while I WFH, plus a doctor’s appointment and blood test for my son to see if he had mono (he didn’t). I’ve been catching up with you all on TS this morning while I wait out the stomach meds taking affect. Hope you all have a happy and sober day today!
