Thank you! Yeah, one of my problems is that I’m too hard on myself. Thank you for reminding that sleep and resting are much needed when feeling like it. I just came from my first 1hr brisk walk. Gonna take another one in the evening. Enjoy your day, my friend!

This day has been really good. I took a 1hr walk and then I decided to go for a run/walk combination. It felt sooooo good to run! I used to be a trail runner, running long-distances five years ago until I started to drink and smoke heavily and I gained 20kg extra weight, shit. But now I’m motivated to lose weight to my normal weight through proper diet and running. Can’t wait to get back on running the long-distances. Life feels good at the moment, exercising really lifts my mood! Rest of the evening I’m gonna just relax and read a good book. Have a great one, everybody!

Again, I slept in, goddammit. I set my alarm to 10am, but decided to continue sleeping because I felt so tired. But I try not to be too hard on myself. Tomorrow morning I have to wake up before 7am because I have an appointment with my medical team. I’m anxious about it because I’m meeting my new doctor and psych nurse for the first time. But it’s gonna go well.
It’s a lovely weather outside, so I’m gonna do some walks and a little run today. It should be relaxing. Have a great 24 everyone! Stay strong!

I had today my early morning appointment with my doctor and new psych nurse. I was quite anxious to meet them, but it went well. I’m gonna start antabuse and lithium in the end of July. When I was heading back home in a commuter train I had pretty bad panic attack, heart was racing and it was so hard to breathe. But I managed to calm down by focusing on music in my headphones. Today I’m gonna take two walks, a nap and then I’m gonna just read Timothy Keller’s wonderful book “Prayer-My Rock, My Refuge”. Have a great 24 everyone!

Thank you, Jasmine! Yeah, trains are hard for me because they are usually so crowded. I find buses easier because there I have of my own, private space. But I survived. Happy Friday to you! Hugs!

Thanks! Yeah, time flies. It is crazy. And yes, I’ve been feeling fine after I got home. I took a walk and went to check where my local church is because I’m attending to Mass this Sunday. I hope your day will be great!

It’s a rainy day, blah. I hope the rain stops because I really wanna go for a run. But I have good books to read, so no worries. My mental state is pretty calm at the moment which is good. I slept okay and I feel fine. Rare for me, so gotta enjoy of these wonderful feelings. Other than that I’m happy to be sober, no cravings at all. Have a great 24 everyone, we got this!

I planned to go to Mass in the morning, but felt so tired, so I decided to sleep in. Got up around 1pm. Just had my coffee and soon I’ll go for my first walk. Sun is shining, lovely! I’ve been more balanced lately, ups-and-downs in my moods haven’t been too overwhelming. Gotta enjoy of this happiness while it lasts. Let’s make a wonderful sober 24!

This day has been pretty good. Yes, I’ve been anxious and depressed and my past is haunting me, but every day those are easier to handle. I took a 45min walk and later 40min run/walk, took a nice hot shower, ate some good food and binged the Mobland. Really great series, highly recommended. But in the end, life feels pretty good at the moment. I’m happy to be alive and sober. Good night, sober fam. Catcha ya later!

Thank you, my dear friend. Indeed it’s part of the healing to go through all the past mistakes. I’m happy to be sober, to not to escape and numb myself anymore. It’s hard to face everything sober, but that’s the only way. I’m sure you’re gonna enjoy Mobland, it’s so great!

Again I slept in and got up after noon. But that’s ok. I just had my counselor’s meeting which was nice. It was so therapeutic to talk about everything. Soon I’m gonna go for my first walk and then I’m gonna finish the second season of The Last of Us and watch three new episodes of The Chosen. Sun is shining, so this day is looking pretty good. Have a great 24 everyone, let’s stay sober together!

I see so many great things in your posts lately. I’m so happy to see you stacking up those days again and that you found a good routine for yourself at home again. It truly is great to see you doing this for yourself and it’s only going to get better the further away from that last drink that you get. Keep taking it ODAAT friend.
