Making some chili for a nice dinner. Gonna watch the Mandalorian tonight! Drinking diet Pepsi.
Talked about the demons in my head. I put action to what I have learned, that I am powerless over other people, places and things. I reminded myself that all I can control is my own actions. I went to yoga and meditated, connected with the light inside of me. I am still sober.
Worked hard. Tried accupuncture again. Bought a groupon for 5 fitness classes. Cooked an amazing dinner. I know i will hit my pillow sober tonight.
I went to my happy place, the bookstore, and walked around for an hour looking for new treats to take home.
I went to bed early because I was tired and craving a drink. Not sure why the craving is coming back… I think the good weather is making me want a drink. So. I just went to bed. Now it’s 330 am and I’m on here … will probably go back to sleep another couple hours before starting my day. But I didn’t drink. Now to do it all again today. Who would have thought weather would be a trigger? Just gotta get thru it one day at a time.
I was afraid to go out on day two (yesterday). There was no power at work and I had the whole day off… I stayed mostly at home vs feel the vulnerability of being out after my memories of passing out the last time I drank. Today I will hit the gym before work. I can’t wait for work so it can give me purpose to the day, I I know this feeling shall too pass.
Yeah to another sober day! I totally understand - i crave drinking when its sunny and beautiful. Great job in curbing that craving.

Great job in realizing yourself and keeping your sobriety safe in these early stages. Our addictive brain really will do many thing’s to get you back. Hold on to the feelings from the last time so that you can create a better future. Congrats on another day sober!
Thank you!
I drove streight forward instead of taking the wrong exit!
Took an hour lie down (i really can’t nap during the day) this helped rejuvenate me and I still made it into work in time.
Made a vegetable stir fry and ordered some veg spring rolls as I did not have time to make those in time (try to eat dinner by 7:30 at the latest).
Doing some breathing exercises to help get to sleep
Practiced gratitude. Texted with sober buddies. Caught up here on TS
Walked, session with counselor, cooked healthy meals.
Spent the day with my oldest daughter. We worked on cars and I taught her to drive a manual transmission.
Went for a morning walk with my folks. Spent a few hours in the yard weeding (feeling the soreness already ). Caught up on my April workout challenge
Yoga. Chores. Caught up here
Cycled to and from work, helped students do a big reading activity and then went for a killer run in the evening.
Yoga class which was about balance. Discovered the new trails to work away from the streets.
And: I didn’t drink.
Went to a dharma recovery meeting and shared
Didn’t allow myself time to think about my addictions and now i’m wrapping up the day and too tired to give in even if the feeling arises - so all in all a win!
