Checking in daily to maintain focus #77

One step at a time. Dont borrow worry from the future or shame from the past. Focus on today and the next right action

Never too late and never too much! But actually that’s beside the point IMO. What we can really and realistically do in sobriety and recovery is move forward, do the very best we can, and live a better life than we did before, not making the same mistakes again. The past is gone. What we have is today and tomorrow. ODAAT and all that. As to the wedding: there’s no absolute in having to go. You can say you’re ill. Your sobriety should come very first. When you do go know we’re here, right in your phone, and you can call on us at any time. Hugs.

Day 505 AF

My 58th year on this earth today and I’m doing better mentally and physically than I’ve ever done in my adult life I believe.
I wish all here an incredibly long and enjoyable life. Maintain your sobriety as it truly opens up doors and improves you in so many ways of which I am probably just scratching the surface of.

We’ll see where my journey takes me, but for now, at least for the foreseeable future I head out on my own.

I’ve appreciated every connection I’ve made here. I appreciate all the wisdom shared that has helped me in immense and profound ways. You will always be in my thoughts.

Till next time, be your best versions of you :heart::peace_symbol::flexed_biceps:t2:

@Mobius congratulations on your first sober Friday. :clap:t4:. It does get easier and better… enjoy your hangover free Saturday :hugs:
@NewDay1990 a week sober :tada::confetti_ball:. That’s something to celebrate :balloon:. Keep working on your recovery. We can’t live in the past or let our guilt of past mistakes take hold of what we are trying to become. Work in your recovery one day at a time and your actions will shine through. Good luck with the wedding. Remember that you don’t have to go, you can leave early if you go and we are just seconds away if you need support :hugs:
@Timetochange woohoo :tada:. 700 days aka 23 months is awesome :flexed_biceps:t4:. Keep pushing forward

I love when the benefits start shing through. Your weekend sounds lovely… have a wonderful time
@Chevy55 happy birthday Nick. Day 505 is a cool number too. Grateful that we have made this connection in your journey. Hope you have a wonderful day celebrating you today :hugs::birthday_cake::confetti_ball::wrapped_gift:

Checking in early today since I have a flight to catch. Heading up to the Bay Area to visit a friend of mine. We’ve been friends for 35 years. I hope everyone has a good weekend, sober of course.

Back at day 1. I felt ashamed to come and post here again, but this connection, accountability, support and encouragement propels me forward. I am struggling and stumbling, but I am not giving up.

This right here:

It really is a fight. A mental battle for the most part. Have a plan for yourself. I find downtime to be harmful at the beginning…keep busy to keep yourself distracted. Surround yourself with support. Keep putting in the effort… ODAAT
Thank you @JazzyS

Day 13!
Busy saturday but that’s a good thing. Keeping my mind occupied. We cleaned our windows and our floor. Chores that needed to get done.
And I watched a ton of Forumula 2 and 1! Love it!

Have a great weekend all!

Checking in on day 169. Family is descending on my house today to celebrate like 6 different occasions at once. I had to draw a few lines about people bringing alcohol into my home- here’s hoping they listened and that I’m strong in my sobriety today if not. I hope everyone is doing well today.
