Day 1570 c&s (clean and sober)
Day 1 FA (food abstinence)
Going to be a fun day today! My son has a field trip and I will be going with him as his ā€œnurseā€ and volunteer for the class. Should be a great day!

I did my morning prayer and am just getting ready for the day. Things are good recovery wise. Last night tho was a bit tough for food abstinence, but I managed to get thru the evening without snacking/overeating/eating something I shouldnt. Lets see how today goes!

Have a great day everyone!

It’s been a nice day, but I’m bored as f. It’s hard to concentrate on anything. One of the side-effects of my mental health issues. I have loads of good books to read, but I’m lying in my bed listening to music. I took a walk today and ate a healthy lunch. I’ll try to read later on. But I’m sober and no cravings which is good. Have a great 24 everyone!

Hey friend, congratulations on day 3!! Im sorry to hear about ur slip :frowning: But it sounds like ur making positive changes to prevent this from happening again!

I like online meetings actually! When i moved to Alberta and had my son, i wasnt able to attend in person meetings anymore, so online meetings became something that I enjoyed. Even now with OA (the other fellowship I now attend), I attend online meetings and really enjoy them.

I hope ur able to find some u enjoy :slight_smile: Let us know how it goes!

Day 19 AF - long day at work but squeezed in a quick workout and improved what I ate today (slightly).

Feeling grateful :folded_hands:

Soooo tired today, and a bit of a headache. I think I didn’t drink enough water today.

Going to bed early, looking forward to another calm and relaxed vacation day tomorrow.

Have a peaceful day, everyone :purple_heart:

Day 3 Checking in

I’ve been on a succession of constant resets for what feels like a month. I would love to say I have learnt from it, or taken some deeper meaning from it, I haven’t. I simply abandoned my own needs by people pleasing and in doing so chose my addiction over myself.

I say this in an attempt at being accountable. The next step is to show up for myself. I am at a stage where I can viserally feel the emotional distortion when I people please. I do not yet have the tools to show up for myself. But I want to learn them. Someone mentioned about both wanting to stop and not wanting to stop at the same time. That named something I couldn’t articulate. Part of me looks for an excuse to relapse. I don’t like that fact but it is true.

Tuesday late afternoon. Out running errands before picking up my 3 year old at daycare. I’ve spent the day so far hanging out with my 6day old little girl at home, and working on my wife’s taxes a lot of the day. Grateful my new little girl is healthy and doing all the things a healthy newborn is supposed to do. Yesterday was my first time wearing her with the Boba wrap, and it was a dreamy, special dad time.

No breaks, but not complaining. All is well.

Take care.

Sometimes my expectations are so low that I’m pleasantly surprised, a nice change from being disappointed! Looking forward to spending some quality time with family over the next week!

I’m grateful for quick layovers, a solid breeze, and overcast with a bit of sun :smiling_face_with_sunglasses::call_me_hand:

Checking in day 320. Still in the country, enjoying a break before it’s all hands during FIFA. Deep cleaned the fridge. Walked a lot, listening to old Sting albums: Sacred Love, etc. A lot of history there, a lot in this place. Caught up with a couple of friends. It’s funny, since I started therapy, I’ve been reaching out into the way-back machine (like that reference, way back to a cartoon Peabody and Sherman!) to talk to ppl who knew me in the before times / the good old days before addiction. They’re happy to hear from me, but it just seems funny, like I’m getting my affairs in order or something. Oh, well, talk about it tomorrow with the therapist. Back to the city tomorrow, going to hit a new meeting on my way home.

Doing Ok. Giving away too much of my serenity to wishing my ex would be accountable and change her behavior. It’s resulting in petty bs from both sides. But it can start with me. I can not take the bait and I can not set expectations that only result in resentment. Her behavior will net its own consequences and waiting on her to change is pointless. Judgement won’t fix anything. I just wish my son didn’t have to pay the price for her unhealed wounds.

Coaching baseball and working hard in the gym feeling very engaged at work and making some strides in observing my self-abandoning.

I will completely forget my values for a pretty face. I ran into a woman I’d met before in the sauna. Stunningly beautiful. Made small talk. Found out she is single (I get a little excited) and that she works in PR for a HUGE health insurance company (I ignore blatant incompatibility). I caught on that she wasn’t interested. Started to feel bummed about that for an hour or so. Then I remembered that her profession utterly disgusts me. Not only is she working for the enemy but she’s trying to paint them in a better light. Not another second was wasted on ruminating. Calling that progress but also seeing that I’ve got a long way to go.

Birth. School. Work. Death. Some days that’s how life feels. Well in between I got addicted too. I got out of that though. I guess I slept a bit too short. I do have a worth wile job and it’s not a punishment to go there four days a week. So on we go. One day at a time. Let’s make today as good a day as we possibly can friends. We’re in this together. Love.
