Checking in daily to maintain focus #9

Day 487. Busy busy. Just need to get through this weekend…

On the upside, I changed my bow grip a tiny bit with my violin and it feels sooooo much better and I’m playing with way more stability. I mean, I’m still beginner level of course so it’s relative, but it’s improvement.

Day 510. Got a respiratory infection and seem to feel worse by the day, so starting to throw myself a pity party. Drinking is definitely not the answer. And moments like these make me glad that I got rid of all the pills out of my house over a year ago. So I’m just hanging tight, hoping for some sleep and am improvement tomorrow.

Haven’t been on for a few days. Today is day 65. Things have been very busy at work, since we are anticipating dealing with a covid-19 explosion pretty soon. My line of work involves people, so it’s difficult to tell folks to just work from home.

I am leaving town tomorrow and will need to check in continuously, since I will be flying. No one will have to know if I drink in any of the three airports, or on either of the two planes, but I will plan on checking in here as much as I can.

Thank you @Clarity!! You’re right, this too shall pass and I just have to ride the wave. This has been one big wave that keeps getting bigger and it’s f**king hard to stay on top but I have to. The other choice will only make things worse.

I’m so sorry you’re struggling Beth. I’m just now getting caught up on all the check ins so my apology for not acknowledging this earlier. Spring is just around the corner and I’m hoping it’s sunnier, we can both use some brighter days. Hang in there girl, we’ll get thru this eventually. Sending you hugs. :hugs: :hugs:

There’s absolutely no reason to apologize for your feelings Chris. I’m sorry you’re having a tough time and know exactly how you feel. Hang in there. Maybe force yourself to a meeting, I find they help the most when I’m feeling my worst. Sending you hugs. :hugs: :hugs:
