Checking in daily to maintain focus #8

Never been more excited to receive some plastic :sweat_smile::point_down:

One of the attendees gave me this :point_down: too, as it’s only 5 days away. That’s cheating!!!

I will definitely go back. I think they meet up 4 times a week at noon (and an evening or two).

One guy talked me through some of the rituals, and that I can just say ‘pass’ :+1: I was 99.95% sure I was going to pass on reading one (or more) paragraphs out loud … but as soon as others mangled a word or two, I thought ‘what the hell’ :sweat_smile:
The ‘shares’ were very real/honest, and sometimes really funny.

It was quite a large group, and very much a mixed bag of folks. I stayed and chatted a bit afterwards, but dang I don’t cope well when multiple conversations are going on. It was like trying to talk in a nightclub (but without a drink in my hand)

I probably could have written a single sentence response @Jane.c Sorry :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::kissing_heart:

Strolling into my 20th day and I’m happy with that for now. I’m more pleased for doing away with the smokes than the alcohol. But I do like that little green number 3 you have there @C_8 . :clap: I’m going to earn one too! :+1:

Day 5 :muscle: I hosted a party last night and didn’t have a sip of alcohol and still had fun. But all of my friends got drunk and I realize how this could definitely become challenging/ annoying later on in my sobriety.

I have a run planned tonight and a hike tomorrow, so I’m hoping exercise will quell my anxiety and desire to drink this weekend. Happy V-day to everyone on here!

:heart::pray: … and I didn’t feel overly self conscious :+1:
Everything seemed to come from a genuine place. Kind of freaky. Haven’t experienced that in f2f situations in … for ever :upside_down_face::sweat_smile:

It is! I do miss details/ nuances/ layers in the conversations. And in my own reply to others I miss those too. But nevermind, thank you for the compliment :pray:
