Checking in on day 83. Quiet saturday. Not much to report. Slept in, did some chores, entertained our todler, chilled a bit.

But very glad I did it all sober!

Sorry you’re not feeling yourself, Dana. It must be something in the ether because I had two relapse dreams and one about my ex with a new personin her life. :thinking:

I feelings of disappointment in my dream were so vivid.

I hope you boy comes through his illness alright!

Easy drive yesterday to get down to brothers house. Bday party for the nephew was great, then we took the kids to the speedway. Im not a big motorsport fan but it was pretty cool. Used to go when I was a kid so was nice to give the kids the same experience. The races ended with a big fireworks display.

  1. Great day so far apart from a thumb injury. I went to Spin class this morning, then weightlifting afterwards in the gym where I accidently smashed my thumb between 2 x 20kg barbells whilst restacking them. Holy fuck a ducking shitebag, made me wince. It’s bruising, but hopefully not too bad. It’s so sore though :pensive_face:. Football ended in a draw. We were lucky to be honest, I’ll take that. Apart from my thumb drama, everything is gravy (on Moo + Blue pie, please). Have a great weekend. :heart::blue_heart::heart:

We pull the 18 traps tomorrow and the Crab will be tested to determine if are ready to harvest.

I am ready to harvest themšŸ’Ŗ

Ive been having crazy vivid dreams too. A couple terrifying ones where I was glad to wake up. And weird ones with people from my past.

I like it. I remember not dreaming or maybe not remembering dreaming.

I think its a sign of healing

I was thinking the same thing, Jason. It’s better than being numb or dreamless. And maybe it’s a reminder from our subconscious why we’re on this path. Or it’s preparing us to be emotionally stronger.

Absolutely. I honestly think that finding a solid yoga and meditation practice has helped me in more ways than I’d ever imagine. :star::black_heart:

I could do without the crazy nightmares. Even those are kinda cool. We don’t need drugs to take a trip in the brain :laughing:

Checking in after typing my replies forever ago on Day 79. I have been a little off today but not terrible. The anxiety has been trying to get the best of me so I decided to do extra yoga of course lol. Much better now. I was shaking at the start and ready to nap after. Love it. About to get some more chores done and of course meditation and yoga. Light and love all :star: :black_heart:

Today, I got to shine on the water. My experience and my sober A game. My position on the boat is secure.

I 100% agree. I didn’t dream (or didn’t remember dreaming) for decades actually. That totally changed since I’m sober.I don’t have very many nightmares so I’m lucky in that respect, I do dream a whole lot now. And it seems something is in the air today, as I had a nap on the couch just now with some very unsettling dreams, with booze included too. I’m always surprised these days when I dream about using, always think (while dreaming) huh, I don’t drink now do I?

Something that helped me with cravings was holding my breath.

Sometimes I would do back to back breaths. In the beginning especially.

Sunflower seeds too. The kind you have to crack the shell off. I don’t like them much. Too much work for too little food, but it helped me occupy my fidgety hands.

Right where he wants me. In a box out of the way. Picking Persimmons was one of today’s tasks.

At the very least they are orange.
