When you reach your 5 minute chip, don’t forget to go to the gas station and get your favorite candy dar. Or whatever you like for yourself. Obviously we don’t want to overwhelm ourselves with to much. But rewarding ourselves can be used as a goal setting to be able to do something. For example, I Love the new Michale movie. It’s out on Prime Video now. And I have the capability to buy it. In fact I did buy it. But then I felt sad cause I realized I stole a reward for myself. So, I retracted it and they gave me a refund. I’m not getting it until I reach my 3 day chip. For those who don’t know, I slipped and had to start over. But I digress, I told myself that if I didn’t make it back to my three day chip. I wouldn’t get my reward. And that’s on self discipline and motivation. But also like I said, I’ve got to remember to be patient with myself. Putting too much pressure and too much thought into this can make you stumble. So you have to be careful, but whenever I reached my first day again I treated myself out to Denny’s for breakfast. It was delicious and well earned and I’m glad I did it. 
Today me and the wifey bought icecream from a ice cream spot for our little family and her grandparents. We were a bit grumpy from when we left until we got home and took quiet time. I had 2 successful days off from work (just my little weekend) and this was the last trip out be4 the work week starts for me. This was probably the best weekend i had sence i started 3 years ago. There were no obligations. Just me and her and our little family all day for a constant 2 days streight. We rocked it. Spent a bit but rocked it. We hit up a childrens book shop for our child, ate lunch, got lots of refreshing drinks and ice cream right at the end. We are tired but for a no biggie weekend it was packed.
Im just really greatful right now to be sober. Everything about myself i learned in sobriety i never would have comprehend in active addiction. My actions were far from a normal mind. Some people here still see me struggle with my thoughts but im getting so much better.
The thought of a relaps frightens me a bit but not because i feel its vlose but because i just dont know how it would go. I could guess. I have a pretty good guess but saying im ready for anything and actually being ready are different things.
I need to think less and do more
This was amazing self reflection for me
