Week 3! That’s amazing! Congrats
Your new place sounds amazing. I’m so glad it’s finally done and you can focus on other areas of your life now instead of being occupied by the move.
Thank you, my friend. Yeah, this new place is a really good for my mental health. I hated living in my previous apartment because the neighbourhood was full of crimes and drugs. Now that’s left behind, thank God. How are you doing today?
Such great news. 3 weeks no alcohol! Woohoo. Congrats on your new home. It sounds like the perfect place you can be! Alway here to read your posts my friend.
Congrats on new job. Very happy for you.
I’m still here. Doctor says I have flu A. Good thing all I want to do right now is sleep.
Sending healing energy! Take care of yourself.
Congratulations well done. Wish you the very best with it.
Lovely that you checked in Trey. Youve put a lot of peoples minds at rest, mine included. Cant stop thinking of you. Its frustrating that I cant do or say anything to make this better for you. So pleased you popped by.
Much better today, thanks! I visited a friend, took a walk, a nap and it was somewhat easier to do ODAAT.
Checking in with 399 days. Big 400 tomorrow… As in the past I am letting the excitement of another milestone keeping from my to do list. I have that feeling of just reveling in my sobriety and so very grateful I am alive to experience all the good stuff life has to offer. I will put my positivity sharing on hold and go to work. I get to have a phone call with my sponsor in a few minutes and hopefully get my tasks completed. I’ll be back.
Take care of yourself. Thinking of you
400 is amazing! Congrats!
Thank you, my dear friend! Congrats on your upcoming 400 days, that’s so awesome!
Day 9 checking in. Can’t shake this tiredness. Home from work for a few hours before I have to go back. Evening girl called out. I’ll take the hours. Just blah today. Is what it is. Should probably get some house work done.
Checking in on day 64.
The last few days i had a little bit of brain fog and not so much energy, also not so much motivation as usual. I am still trying to manage my time and often I have the feeling like everything is to much. To much things I have to manage and to constantly make decisions for myself and for others.
I just try to take it day by day and somehow stay on top of the things and meetings and to Dos. Today i took the half day of just to get with my fiancé to the shopping centre and relax a bit. Feel a bit guilty but it’s ok.
What scared me, I had sometimes the thought „maybe I can manage now drinking“ or „when I’m going on vacation maybe I could drink there and then stop“. - I know I can’t. I now when my girlfriend gets one drink from the grocery store and I ask where is the rest for her. I am just not normal in that way.
Any suggestions for me? Maybe someone here also deals with overworking and „maybe“ self induced stress. Did you also had those thoughts of drinking, how did you manage this?
Thank you all, even if I right now don’t have the brain capacity to check in everyday, I am still reading all of your check ins and staying strong with you all!
Wishing everybody a good 24!
Day 647.
All ok.
Weather has picked up… not enjoying the course i am on…i may not continue with it.
May focus on taking it slower
What do you think having that drink would do for you? Do you think it would relieve stress? What you are looking for is a way to reduce your stress, having a drink is not the answer to that. Are you taking on too much? Is there anything you can do to reduce your stress?
Im so very sorry what a terrible shock.
Please take extra care of yourself, one hour at a time
