Lots of writing, it helps so very much.
I kept on moving
Yoga. Meditated.
Will be going to my home group tonight where my friend Jacob will be receiving his 1 yr coin! And I feel he helps me stay sober, just like all of you. Thx!
Listened to the voice that told me 1 would probably kill me and if it didn’t it would be the 10 that followed it.
These are not idle thoughts as I went to a concert tonight and that " Your OK to have one now" voice has been getting louder lately. Insanity really is doing the same thing and expecting a different result, thank god I don’t live in that insanity any longer.
Deep breathed
Hope ur ok
Way to go Paul on shutting that voice down proud of you!
What did I do to stay sober? I did one of my favorite things: a Sunday afternoon nap, in my favorite chair, with a napping cat on my lap.
Naps are hugs we give to ourselves, and I gave myself a big one.
Visited this forum, exercised, told my friend during our zoom chat that I’m sober now, got in bed early to read, had a snack every few hours
Had a great day but the outing caused my body to go haywire. My rash and skin abrasions along with the itch and slight pain came back all at once. Still unclear of whats going on or causing the symptoms but i thought i was healing.
I so wanted to just get wasted and pass out but instead made my brother watch a few movies with me while scrolling through this site so that i didnt give in. So far sobriety still in tact
Did morning yoga stretches.
Did a lunch walk in the forest.
Did rest.
Didn’t drink which I find very important.
been a rough day - read more of my book today - Quit Like a Woman (slow read for me as I don’t find time to read as much these days)
Talked for 2 hours with my childhood friend (we haven’t talked for 4 months - i love those friendships where you can be apart for long periods of time but when you get together it’s like no time has passed)
Decided to not to catch up on accounting this evening but will do so tomorrow
Scrolled TS site
Caught up to yesterday’s set on my workouts for the April workout challenge
Made a healthy dinner for my family
Logged on here and am catching up on the threads
Practiced gratitude
Meditated
Communicated my needs
Ate healthy
Checking here
Facial ice plunge (did 4 x’s 15 sec ea)
Meditation and deep breathing exercises
Watched comedy
Caught up on this site
Today I reached out to a friend. Also did some cross stitching on a new pattern. Read some interesting articles on Pinterest (while sifting through new meal ideas and weight loss programs).
I visited a friend from work that has been out for a few months on maternity leave. Had a great time catching up. Just now realizing that I wasn’t preoccupied with thinking about when I would be able to get home to start drinking. That is a definitely a welcome change. Typically I would be feeling that urgency to go home and drink even when I was having a good time.
Rested
Drank loads of water
Stayed connected to this site and did a lot of reading (eyes wirn now- gonna rest them and get some )
Sweet dreams my sober friends
Today i will do some rock paiting with my little ones, read a few pages from my borrowed library books and also attenpt tocmake sence of the NA book of steps.
Although the weather has been icky and dreary…im certain it will be a wonderful sunday indoors with my beautiful family.
Sobriety has allowed me to once again SEE what has been infront of me all along. HAPPINESS.
