Checking in on 147 days sober.
missed a few check ins but Iâm not getting complacent. Just busy trying to sort work stuff out. My son is going through the âexistentialâ age where they realise that death comes for us all and bedtime has become a huge burden. Weâll work through it. There are lots of ideas out there to help deal with it so weâll keep trying until something sticks.
work is a chore and a challenge. Iâm not used to it being this bad this long with no end in sight. Starting to regret investing so much of myself in it over the years. In previous downcycles Iâve made it worse by drinking excessively whenever possible but that is far from my mind right now. I just donât want to be that way any more. Whenever I realise that I smile and feel elated. Over the years so many of you told me it would get easier someday⊠it took me so many days and so many tries but it is easier now. Stick to the program, one day at a time

You know what I love finding and cannot stop buying lol? In the sleep wear, bath robes and amazing vintage bed attire like pjâs that are something out of a 1950s film lol 
you Know how way back then the women would wear the most extravagant sleep wear with feathers on the cuffs lol and robes that flowed with silk for days lol Iâm obsessed with that genre of thrift haha

Day 2 Checking in
Today was hard. I went through the usual gambit of emotions and cognitive distortions. Lots of negative thought patterns.
I moved out of that place by finally resting. I reminded myself that rest doesnât have to be just stopping. I went for a walk in nature which put a crack in the constant hustle and bustle I had been doing for at least a week.
Then tonight I sat down with a notepad and pencil and just did some drawing. It was super relaxing. I have been on edge and in constant motion (mentally and physically) for what has felt like a lifetime, but in reality it has been about two weeks. It all melted away as I focused on one thing.
So I can now add an activity to the list of things that rest me. Drawing.
I feel like I am coming back to myself. Which is a blessing. Early night again tonight.
Today I have actively done the following for my recovery:
- Walk in Nature
- Watched a video about the difference between healthy and unhealthy guilt.
- Did a drawing session.
Tomorrow I commit to doing three more things for my recovery.

600 days AF today.
Feels worthy of mentioning.
Thanks to @JazzyS @Kjcj and @Juli1 for connecting over my last post.
Dating is weird and I donât have to feel guilty about protecting myself. I donât have to sacrifice my serenity for anyone elseâs expectations.
Had a small revelation at yoga class tonight: I donât need to be in a relationship to give and receive love. Thatâs just what Disney and Hallmark want you to think.

@CanadianGirl sorry for the smoke and air quality. I am in Michigan and it was so hard to breathe/ see after a few hours outside. Hope you are staying indoors and safe. 
Wishing you luck as you work on expanding your career path. WHOA - that is one insane looking sky
Makes sense - we spend so much time at work and should be happy about it 
Have a wonderful get away
@2JTravNZ Hope the painkillers help 
Good luck with the job - hope you hear positive news soon 
@lasse WHOOHOO this is awesome - triple 4âs! 
Have a wonderful time at your summer festival 
@apes2020 Sounds like an absolutely lovely day April. I do hope that your FB lets you sleep and has reset his body clock. Thanks for the Elle tip - already on episode 2. You werenât lying about her fitting into the character so beautifully. Hope you enjoyed thrifting. Been a minute since Iâve done but for sure it needs a game plan and can be considered a sport 
@Staringupfromthewell Sleep is such a blessing and a necessity for our recovery. Glad you got a good nights rest. Love the effort you are putting in as well. Keep up the great work ODAAT Great to see you using your tools to help you out of the intrusive thoughts

@ceejayboi Hope all goes well with your surgery. I donât know the details but for sure take the time needed to recover.
@Puddingface33 So very happy you talked it out with your friend - our minds really can be our worst enemies. I am sorry that you had to entertain those awful thoughts yesterday but grateful for that all getting resolved
@McDude YIPPEE! well done on your 9 months! Keep going strong
@TS66 WOWZERS! Well done Trey - great job on your 1 year soberversary!! Yummy German Chocolate cake to boot 
Keep up the amazing momentum
@Mtrav0040 Sweet work on 600 days!
Checking in on Thursday evening
1303 days free of alcohol and weed
1718 days free of cigarettes
I did manage some sleep. Woke up with my hand three times its size and hurting like hell. Didnât hear from my doctor about the x-ray till this evening. Wants me to come in first in order to get a referral. I get the system but at the same time find it to be so BS.
I just donât need to waste money on a office visit when the system has gas lit me on many occasions and I have no faith in it. I am sick of not showing the correct symptoms of âpainâ to be taken seriously only to be later told that I should have come in earlier.
My mind was elsewhere when I started the day and did not even think about the dense fog⊠my mind went to fall and didnât clock the firepit smell. OOF - I am so very sorry for what our friends in Ontario are having to deal with. My eyes and throat were burning and I wasnât even out in it that long
Gonna try to get some rest -shall I say some more rest. Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all so much love
