Checking in daily to maintain focus #9

Yay!!! You need to go to a meeting and get your chip. Congrats! You’ve worked really hard for those 90 days. :hugs: :two_hearts:

I’ve got no chips for weed. Got plenty of real coins in the bank though. Have you noticed I don’t write tobacco anymore, I had 3 drags on a roll up at the funeral so rules are rules, I’m not bothered about it though bc alcohol and weed are my main addictions, tobacco was just coming along for the ride.

Wow! Congrats! Look how big that number is. That’s amazing!

Checking in on day 66. Struggling. Playing the tape forward. I always finish the bottle. I never could have just one or two. Ive been really lonely lately and my environment has been very negative. Two triggers for me. I know I dont want to go back to my old life but I do just want to escape this one sometimes.

I’ve been extremely lonely and depressed lately.
Rebuilding friendships and past relationships with the good people in my life has been extremely hard.
A lot of people I feel have given up on me.
As for the ones who haven’t yet, it feels awkward being around them these days. I’ve been in such isolation the past 5 years that I feel like I forgot how to be human honestly…
A part of me is stuck wanting to isolate, but the other part knows that isolation is just going to make things worse.

Checking in, day 99.

So I’m craving a little bit. Can you believe it? A part of me simply wants to blow up almost 100 days of sobriety. That’s milestones for me. I’ve not done a great job of keeping custody of my eyes and mind today, but I’ll take it an hour at a time if I have to. I’m not losing this one!

My gig tonight was dead, really dead. I only saw one family with kids tonight. This coronavirus issue is creating a bad impact. I don’t like it.

Day 91! Today was okay, I didn’t have to do too much so that was nice. My classes have also been fully moved online for the rest of the semester because of coronavirus, so the next few weeks should be pretty interesting!

day 11… not going strong. passed out again yesterday while walking the dog. lay there in the mud hiihih… So I need to take the step and start pain medication today. will be in for a bit of a rough week(s) not alowed to drive, so at least no chane of buying doc ;-). But feels like bit of a last hope. maybe then I can start sleeping again and finally teach a few hours and go out in the world. the road I am on now is no good.

It is been 4 days since I have ended my relationship. I feel stronger. It is kind of odd. I have periods of withdraw mixed with insanely happiness/calm. I am starting to see things so clearly.

Baby steps. I am excited to be single and growth. Focussing on my own journey and not feeling shame or guilt daily.

I know my boy Sully is going to bring me so much joy. I get him in 7 more days (tonight at midnight it will be 6!!)

I just can’t wait to hold him. Snuggle and let the games begin in my new chapter.
