Checking in daily to maintain focus #8

Day 22

Morning check-in.
Work is getting overwhelming thank goodness. I am so used to a high level of stress that the lull in work was more stressful than work stress. (Hopefully that makes sense). Busy work day, SMART meeting tonight, dinner, work, then bed. Exciting I know!!!

Stay strong everyone!!!:facepunch::stuck_out_tongue::facepunch:

Relapsed after 45 days. Around Christmas and New Yearā€™s. Then my birthday was Jan 11. Day 2. Still feel horrible about myself. Realize I have to be here on this site daily.

16 days smoke and alcohol free. I should be doing somersaults, my enthusiasm seems to be waning.
Had a shit nights sleep never slept at all that could explain why Iā€™m feeling lethargic.
The weather here is crap as well today. Iā€™ve had sleet, snow, hail, rain, wind and a tiny bit of sunshine.
Sorry for being a whinging moaning bastard especially when I see that a lot of you are having a tough time of it lately. You lot are keeping me strong and by coming on here Iā€™m less likely to press that 'Fuck it button".
Catch yous later. :neutral_face:

This is my first check-in here ever :slight_smile: :grinning: Iā€™m checking in on Day 3, finally feeling better after a two-day hangover. Iā€™ve been ā€œtrying to cut backā€ on drinking for a looooong time, but this is my first time ever committing to outright stopping. But I really, really need to stop. Going 3-6 days without is easy for me, but then my brain switches gears and wants (meaning convinces me I DESERVE) a drink. Already last night, as the two day hangover was in its final stages, I was watching a show where the ppl were drinking champagne and my immediate thought was ā€œoooh, I want one of those.ā€ And today day 3 Iā€™ve already had thoughts like, ā€œmy problemā€™s not that bad, I was just hungover after Saturday! No big deal! I donā€™t need to quit!ā€ But Iā€™m just going to keep trying to identify these addiction-fueled thoughts and remind myself of all that awaits me in long-term sobriety. Iā€™m finding this community very inspiring :slight_smile:

2,5 hours away from a full 7 days sober ,my day 1 or 2 or 3 wasnā€™t a hangover this time,it was a alcohol detox and it wasnā€™t pretty,it was very hard to get thru those days mentally and with a shit load of kalms tablets to get me through the anxiety,I have to remember day 1,2,3 most of all and say to myself I cannot stop if I start drinking alcohol.i donā€™t have control of myself when drinking alcoholā€¦I tried the ā€˜hangover,must stop drinkingā€™,that didnā€™t work for me,I drank on the hangover on top of the hangover and on top of the anxiety until I stopped drinking and got here,to day 7.:slightly_smiling_face::pray::slightly_smiling_face: Grateful for another sober bedtime,
