I watched that and thought that it was bloody brilliant. I hardly watch TV but found that gem and really enjoyed it. Enjoy the big book have you got a sponsor. I found it great reading it with my sponsor. But enjoy best book after the bible
I don’t have a sponsor yet but I don’t mine Reading It alone once and I’ll read It with my future sponsor.
And yesss Severance is great juste watched 2 épisode and Adam Scott is a great actor. Yesterday I started Single Drunk Female about a 28 yo women on her sobriety path it’s good
Prepped my work bag last night with my snack, iced coffee, and pot of cerial for snacking n keeping my mouth/hands busy. Helps with stopping off in corner shops and being tempted.
I played the new Legend of Zelda game
I bought this for Friday night! Am so excited
I’m sorry that the group chat is so heavy with the drinking / partying. I know that I ran into my old neighbors the other day and it was great to catch up but the conversation did very quickly turn towards drinking. I had to just openly state that I don’t do that anymore and tried to move the conversation to something else. It didn’t so I went home. I know my old friends / acquaintances and routines will need to change if I want my sobriety to survive.
Are you able to join “meetup” groups or possibly do meetings where you would be around like minded people? It is possible to make new friends and hopefully you will not feel isolated for long. We are all here for you to reach out to and chat
That’s super cool – i’m curious now too.
Glad you do have other non drinking friends and are getting in touch with your triggers.
Best of luck with this - we are here if you ever need to discuss or talk through…
Meditated and slowly got my work done - stayed connected to this site. Sober and free of all DOC’s for another day and loving it!
Kitchen project, we got new countertops, so we went the extra yard and added a backsplash and drawer and door handles on our cupboards.
Before:
After:
An AA meeting and talking to a fellow lady. Really helps
meditation / prayer solo and then with my brother
worked on knitting my blanket
mindful scans and deep breathing
Did some grocery shopping for Mom, stopped for a coffee and journaled for a few, came home and piddled around in the yard, getting it spruced up a bit. Going to start dinner in a bit. Been a busy day!
I listened to the Revovery Elevator podcast, had a therapy session, and did a HIIT workout (hill sprints)
Only on day 3 , and a wreck with no energy.
Didnt have the energy to do my normal workouts… so i just walked and walked and walked at a brisk pace …helped the anxiety., Then found this place today , and spent any diwn time reading other peoples stories… tomorrow i will try to find a doctor …
welcome to the community - well done on day 3 --hey however you do it, just getting through the day sober is a win! glad the brisk walk helped with anxiety.
I do find being active here and reading around is very helpful! It is a great distraction. Best of luck with you doctor hunt tomorrow… hope to see you around the site
Hi ! I watered the plants, paid some bills, walked my dog, hugged my partner, apologized for drinking enough to kill a small army on Saturday, took her for dinner and was thankful for not drinking
Early morning meeting to get through the day sober
I made lots of icecubes and bought lemons and limes so i can make nice sharp refreshing drinks and staying hydrated at the same time
From yesterday: I was at schooling party and there was alcohol (of course, because it’s party). I was a lot worried about it, but I found there coca cola! So I drank it and stayed sober. Now I’m really proud of it.
For today: Giving myself a peace and care. My body doesn’t need anything harmful.
