Checking in daily to maintain focus #8

23 days and 15 hours! I’m happy about how the days are stacking up. This is the longest I’ve been free from alcohol since last spring! :smiley: So, I’m still recovering from surgery on my right foot and have around 8 weeks before I can go back to work. I work in a rehabilitation unit so it’s been nice being the patient for once. Today I was pretty lazy and played phone games, watched a movie and my son drove me to Papa Murphy’s where I purchased a Cowboy thin crust pizza!! It was delicious!

Another difficult workday, but I am sipping tea instead of alcohol. Gotta be grateful for that.

Day 479. I did it! I got through a normal day of ups and downs and am satisfied with the result! Ohhh yes I could go down that rabbit hole of “I wish I had done _____ though” but

not today!

Also, I didn’t drink. That’s pretty cool. :sunglasses:

Day 240. On my way to the hospital for eye surgery. Hate it and it hurts a lot but I guess I just gotta do it. This is the first time I’m going to one of these appointments without being really high. We’ll see how it goes.
Hope you have a great Thursday everyone :sparkling_heart:

@Lisa07, @Salty, @C_8, @Dolse71 Thank you all so much. Your support helps a ton and means a lot to me, I’m definitely glad to be back.

P.S. The number screen shot (99.99) was all for you @C_8!

Now for today’s check in…

Day 101: Had a much better day today. Thanks to everyone for all the support you’ve given me. Had a productive day at work and then took my kids to dinner and to the Utah Jazz vs Boston Celtics basketball game tonight. Unfortunately the Jazz lost, but had an amazing evening with my two kids.

A friend works up in the rafters of the arena during the games and was able to get this picture for me. Excited for quality sober nights enjoying the company of my kids!

Day 528 :coffee:
The Dutch people are affraid the Corona virus is coming. Had a lot of people in my store yesterday who wanted to buy an antibacterial gel ore mouth caps. But now Germany has Corona victims I think we are “next”. One of the infected German persons has visited us to celebrate Carnival so he could infected people here too.
I’m not affraid but carefull. I’m working at a “hot spot”, if people are feeling sick they go to my store to buy self-care medication.
Let’s get my lazy body to work! 🙋

Day 523 - me and the baby (6 mos) are sick with a cold. Sleep is at a premium right now. Everytime I get her down, I go down, then she gets up, so I get up. Been like this all week. I’m exhausted. I’d really like to take nyquil but not sure I should. :man_shrugging:

Well done, you obviously have an obsession with pretty numbers or patterns, isn’t autism wonderful. Have a blessed day.

@bikethief hope all goes well at hospital and congrats on your days

2 weeks sober is brilliant, if your days are too long have you tried to fill them up with different activities, says the man that sits on his bum all day, I used to think my days were long and boring now I call them relaxing.

It is, but are there any options really? We could do million things but the only thing to help us with the addiction disease/addictive behaviour & patterns is searching ourselves. It’s all about fixing ourselves, not the partner, not the neighbor or neighbor’s cat. Start with you, because in you lies the reason, symptom and solution, and you’re worth recovering :hugs:
