Checking in daily to maintain focus #9

Day 4
Good morning! Yesterday was a rough day. Wanted to use over stress lol Did everything I could think of to relieve me from those thoughts… walk outside, prayer, gym, self care, deep breathing, and grounding. Went to bed and woke up feeling great! Thankful for another day clean and sober :slight_smile: thankful to not be feeling regret or physically feeling like shit or broke. I’ve realized that I can get through these urges and don’t have to give in. My mind will lie to me often and I’m starting to listen to that inner voice. Hope everyone has a wonderful monday!

Thank God the dark cloud that was hanging over you has evaporated. I’m an avid runner so I’m sending you running strength and hope you develop a great love for it.
Blessings and sobriety!

stick with us, I’m not going to lie to you, I still want to get wasted but now I can cope better with the fact I’m not going to. We just gotta take what we can get in the early stages and for now sober is enough.

I hear you. I would rather drink coffee or other beverages than alcoholic drinks these days.

Checkin in on day 66. Today I’m struggling. We lost our younger daughter during pregnancy almost 3 1/2 years ago. Today I feel a lot of grief, because she is not around (and because we had no luck trying for another baby). Sometimes it hurts a lot. I know I won’t drink to numb the pain, but I eat very emotion-driven at the moment. I have been to my younger daughters grave earlier today and I bought some flowers for her. Now I cook dinner for my older daughter and spend some time with her.

I drank it at the beginning but eventually I decided it was an expensive substitute, I used to drink 6 cans in about an hour hoping to get drunk.
