Day 67šŸ˜Š
Waiting to see if my sonā€™s school will follow the pmā€™s recommendation to close all schools for a month. But nursery schools are exempt (?). I am ok, but not sure how working families will cope. And of course corona virus doesnā€™t seem to affect kids so much. So not really following the logic.

Checking in, still sober :white_check_mark: moving through the work week better than I anticipated. Got my new fitbit versa 2 which I am happy with :weight_lifting_woman: No desire to drink today, but I am eating way too much. It almost feels like binging, to fiill the void. Going to exercise to burn some of that off and meal prep for next week on the weekend to nip the issue in the bud. Keep up the good work everyone, sending well wishes your way :yellow_heart::sparkles:

25 days. Some serious cravings tonight. Wary of Friday night feeling coming up tomorrow. Wanna stay clear and clean and sober. Havenā€™t been alcohol free for such a long time. X

5M 4D / Iā€™m back at work right now waiting for one of our electricianā€™s to fix an issue we are having with our heavy equipment. The shop is at a standstill and everyone is now doing their vice. Drinking, smoking weed and maybe blow. This is my first day back and nothing has changed but myself.

Iā€™m calm. My mind is focused and Iā€™m aware of how everyone is acting and reacting. I can smell the liquor wafting from peopleā€™s mouths and that part always sticks out to me. I was the same way. All of em are good, well meaning people though. When shit hits the fan around here, they finish any job thrown at em.

Iā€™m not like them any more. I managed to become this sort of quiet philosopher who manages to think before he acts. I have yet to lash out in anger ever since Iā€™ve became sober and Iā€™ve managed to play my cards really well thus far. I have and want to do so much more and I know I can.

Thanks for hearing me out everyone. Have a good evening. Love you all.

Day 480. My psychiatrist encouraged me today about my steady progress since I started this program. He was the kind of pleased that showed on his face without actually having to say it. And I canā€™t argue with it. Itā€™s been a very challenging time, but itā€™s paying off. Iā€™m feeling ready to be done, but Iā€™ve got more to do, and Iā€™m keeping with it for the time being.

Getting a random wave of unexplained sadness right now. Sigh. Iā€™m exhausted too. Oh well.
