Not feeling ashamed emptying my recycling in the morning and all the glass clashes together letting all the neighbors hear how many bottles I have.
@anon86726034 you have the wonderful gift of making the sinister sound hilarious! I always enjoy your posts terrifically!
I also had the reputation of never remembering the ends of movies, lol more often than not I wouldnt even remember having watched a movie at all 🤦
Not wondering whether I’m too drunk to cycle my bike. I was a pretty steady cyclist even very drunk but there were times I was swerving across the entire double lane street. Horrible. I’m lucky I’m alive, no exaggeration.
Better relationships with people. Things becoming meaningful again.
Feeling myself to be reliable.
Same. I think he murdered the step father though Funny enough I think I had to read that on wiki as I also couldn’t remember. Just remembering I had a huge crush on the Irish guy with the face scar
Oh my goodness, yes!!! Good one
Being able to be there for friends and family at need me, in a healthy way.
No shame and hiding
Not wondering if there is something I need to apologize for…
This was me! Sneaking the recycling out of my room at 3am to put in front of the neighbours house the next street over🙄
A clear head is the thing I love the most about being clean. No more drug fueled choices. I do still struggle with ego driven choices but hey, I’m working on being a more selfless person. One day at a time.
I think waking up clear headed for me is my number 1 favorite thing that will keep me going.
I completely agree. I had times where I would be clean for a few months at a time and I absolutely loved the feeling of being clear headed. It was something I simply couldn’t forget, each time I would relapse, all I could think about was how great it was having a clear mind and that in itself made getting clean this time that much easier. There were other circumstances that propelled my recovery but that one is such a pivotal part of staying clean.
Sometimes I write in a notebook about the day and that’s always forefront on each page, lol
Interesting, I have been journaling everyday for a month and a half and I don’t think I have ever actually written my appreciation for it. Shame on me, do you do daily gratitude lists?
No I haven’t. I have to do more to stay focused. I do know how lucky I am to be where I am living. I have a good job with great people, I don’t take either one for granted.
That’s a good outlook, good for you. Keep up the good work!
You as well, Kyle!
I love this.
My list today is…
Waking up and feeling well without having to plan some kind of hustle.
Being able to get a decent night of sleep.
NOT being in a drug induced psychosis.
Rebuilding the friendships I’ve destroyed.
Being able to have a solid poop each day.
