Checking in on Day 219. Solid band practice last night. The drive to/from was less than fun with the snow we were getting. Ready for the Arnold Classic next week. Time is realllllly dragging!
Have a strong day!!!

Loved reading this (eye patch is off temporarily 
) as I read so much of me there. I was a workaholic until about 18 months ago (awarded company stock etc) …when I had my meltdown, which was an accumulation of a lot of things, including burnout, grief, ptsd… and of course, alcoholism. Falling so far has been a lot to deal with, but at least being sober allows for somewhat rational thought!
I too have realized that my workaholic nature was about self esteem and unhealthily seeking outside validation. I’m working on that with my therapist and mindfulness (plus other stuff).
Thank you so much for sharing your journey @Jane.c I can always relate to your words and your struggles. Your ‘wins’ give me so much hope. Thank you!!

You’re going to make it Beth. You’re strong and compassionate and smart and a hard worker and exactly where you’re supposed to be right now. Even if it doesn’t feel like it. You aren’t whiny. You’re authentic and human. I for one believe in you & believe that whatever you can’t share with us right now isn’t so powerful that it can take you out. Dig deep and fight for your sobriety knowing we have your back and are cheering you on.

Day 169
What a week it’s been. Weird all around. Had some intense craving last night for the first time in a while as stress piled up and I was trying to control things I can’t. I still have a long way to go in my recovery. We’re starting a small step study next Tuesday night and I’m looking forward to that seeing as how I can’t get past step 3 right now. In the mean time, I have to navigate a weekend in Southern Louisiana with my crazy Cajun family for a wedding while staying sober. It’ll be the first time I’ve visited there sober probably since my teens. That’s what me and my cousins do - sit around a fire, talk and drink. I have my sober sister going with me and I’ll have you guys with me too. So I’m going to be ok I think. But I’m a little nervous about it. Right now I just have to get through today. One day at a time people!

I agree with this 100%
That’s basically how I got started about 9 -10 years ago. I thought the world was going to shit and said fuck it I’m just going to let loose to deflect from my fears of the apocalypse. I don’t watch the news and the coronavirus is hardly a concern.

It’s day 30 for me today and sadly I have to admit, that I somehow lost momentum 
What momentum I mean?
The one, where in the morning before going to work I used to read ebooks, exercise and then prepare alternating breakfast each other day.
Last 4 working days (today included), I couldn’t make myself to read ebooks after waking up and took too much time to be done with exercising, so I also for this reason didn’t do alternating breakfasts.
I guess it’s the time to focus on activities, straight up after waking up

Yes, I get a lot of people into my shop too who are panicking despide the fact it isn’t even here yet! There is a lot of fake news on social media too. I understand your choice not to read the news about it. I consider it like a (almost) normal flue myself. A normal flue gives a chance of dying from it too. But only to people who are old ore already ill.
