Checking in daily to maintain focus #79

646 days.

Dayshift today, was busy. But not too taxing.

Feeling low energy mood, but not too bad. A productive day tomorrow before nightshift will help.

I hear you but are you comfortable being stoned? With or without them around? Are all your old friends smokers? I’m sorry for the divorce but having a total relapse on THC doesn’t sound like a price you should be paying alongside it. As you write yourself cravings for other stuff pop up because of it too. You might end up losing much more than your marriage friend. Please beware.

The way I read it is that you aren’t comfortable stoned. So when I’m right, why not be uncomfortable with your friends sober? Or, indeed, have a little distance to this groups of friends with unhealthy habits. Do the healthy stuff you describe. You’ll meet new folks doing that as well.

Also, I feel it’s a natural thing to lose some of your old gang. Sure happened to me. And indeed what I needed was to work on myself, doing healthy recovery related stuff, not hanging out with a bunch of stonies and drunks. it works when you work it and all that stuff. Take care friend.

Good morning world, A week off work for me, started off with a lay in bed until 0800. Have a lot to do this week and its so much better doing my jobs sober and switched on .
Its going to be a good week weatherwise so no excuses.
Have a good day everyone.

One more day off, a doctor’s appointment is about all I have to do today. And play basketball tonight. And maybe plan a little holiday for next week :thinking:. Would like to visit my friend in the USA but not going there right now. Will see when the urge to go there wins from the urge not to. There’s other stuff to do too. Close by and further away. I’ll try to make a decision today.

Otherwise I’m fine. Slept long, dreamed a lot. So much better than the booze and weed induced coma, the black hole, I used to fall into when I was still an active addict. And woke up from it groggy, hungover and unrested. Never again. Let’s have as good a day as we all can friends. Sober and clean or nothing will come of it. Love from Texas two years ago.

@Mischa84 You’re in mourning for your Luna. Don’t I know the feeling. Be kind to yourself. Hugs.

Sleep was as good as it gets, waking up took a while as it sometimes does on a cloudy Monday morning.
Going to start working on my game design again after a longer break, and going to tackle my todo list later in the day. Also my plants are in need of some love aswell.

Some graffitti from our party on Saturday.

Peace and love always :lotus:

Day 1303
Morning check in :sun:
Thought Id check in earlier than usual. Its 530am and I cant sleep any longer (have to be up for 6am anyway). Im feeling good and pretty rested! I have a few things planned for the day. Coffee, going to the health store to get a new free protein shaker (its a really pretty pearl looking one that Ive been eyeing up lol), then the gym, and then home to clean.

Yesterday my husband mentioned the message i sent him on Saturday and he told me that he agreed with what I wrote! It felt so good to be acknowledged. I was kind, addressed his concerns/worries, but also addressed my concerns and set boundaries for future arguments (just in the sense that I dont like certain things being said). Im realizing that people have their own time in processing stuff. My husband takes more time than me for example, and I cant expect him to be like me. So im learning. Still working on the bit about communication. This is a daily thing for me.

Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys their Monday! Another week for new opportunities for growth! Love u all!

Day 55. Checking in early. I slept terribly last night (allergies, stress, ice cream), so I’m counting down the minutes until 2 pm when I can go home and take a nap. Fortunately, tomorrow is going to be a catch-up, catch-all day, so I just need to muddle through today. I have thought about HALT a few times overnight, but I don’t have an inclination to drink.

Garfield was right about Mondays. Have a good one.

Part 3. Hubby Birthday turns 65 today. Seems strange to say, where in the world did time go! Seems like yesterday that I was lighting the cake on fire for his fourthly. That was his first birthday we celebrated together. I won’t be lighting the cake this year. may burn down the house. I feel blessed to have him here with me today and we are both 60 days sober. It has been a journey to say the less.

No big plans, just having a surprise dinner with the kids and grandkids. Have a great sober day.

Checking in day 1,100. Started out having ā€œone of thoseā€ Mondays… forgot my keys were in my husbands car, he went to work, so I had to uber to work. Then realized my work badge was locked in my car :man_facepalming:t2: Thankfully he drove back home and got that for me, and brought me my keys. Busy day ahead. Feeling a little deregulated from everything but taking a few in my office now to settle in, and writing it out helps.

Wishing everyone a magnificent sober Monday :sparkles:
