Closed - Checking in daily to help maintain focus #5

Checkin in on day 7 :grinning: yay a whole week!!! Super tired this morning but feeling good that Iā€™m not focused and anxiety ridden over finding pills. Instead I can relax and finish upba little Christmas shopping and not be stressed about affording pills. Happy sober Sunday :grinning:

@Charlie_C,

You managed to stay sober this entire weekend! Thatā€™s awesome. You mentioned before that weekends were hard because you were alone. How did you manage this time?

Thatā€™s a tough one. Regaining trust takes time. Just keep being someone who is trustworthy & know in your heart that you are & in time itā€™ll rebuild that trust. Hope she can see the truth today.

Day 102. Didnā€™t sleep well AGAIN. Iā€™ve recently had some good nights but last night was not one of them. Lots to do to finish up getting ready for Christmas. Itā€™ll all be ok. Thatā€™s what I keep telling myself. And Iā€™m sober. Itā€™s all good. Stay strong sober friends!

Day 4 sober. I am still sick with the cold or flu. I only want to rest but I have to do so many things. I am hoping the next holidays :face_with_head_bandage::face_with_head_bandage::face_with_head_bandage:

Day 25. Sore throat but glad to be drinking tea. For a lot of my life I usedbeing sick as a excuse to drink more than usual. Same for the holiday season. So much unhealthy normalizing of alcohol. Iā€™m happy not to be doing that today and to be learning, growing, working on better habits. Stay strong and happy holidays to everyone.

Oh man; a couple that has been coming here forever just gave me a bottle of wine, as they do every year! Iā€™m so busy right now and just lookedā€¦ Should I give it away or tell them I donā€™t drink anymore? I could give to my managerā€¦

Just give it away Donna so you donā€™t make them feel bad. Iā€™m sure they would have given you something else if they knew you better. No need to make it uncomfortable.

Thatā€™s what I was thinking too; otherwise theyā€™d feel badā€¦ thanks! :kissing_heart:

If being alone is such a huge trigger for you (which it is), is there anything that you can do for yourself to remove that trigger from your life while your wife is away at work?

I would love to see you stack up even more days when you get back from Denver.


Hiking in the cold rain today
