  • Zoom meeting after work
  • busy busy bee all day! Work just flew by
  • recognized triggers and responded responsibly
  • took care of an issue right away instead of letting it fester in my mind
  • asked God at the start of the day for guidance. To be rigerously honest I also later screamed “SERIOUSLY!!! Seriously God what the f*** is that!!!” At one point also but…ill apologize for that before bed
  • checking in here and seeing people stacking days :blush:

I just got in from a way harder than it should have been day.
I ran off all the people at the dock wanting to drink beer and watch me offload.
I did not hang out with them.
I wasn’t even nice to them.
I came straight home.
checking in…
food, shower, pillow…

Checking in before I get busy and the day flies away.
Actually writing, not doing a cruise through check in.
Morning meditation.
Fear of success anxiety has been hitting me hard again. I’m trying it hit it back. Harder!
self sabotage fantasies roll through my alcoholic brain. I shoot them down and redirect my thinking.
Im having a bad weather day and I’m working on all my blessings of recovery.
My creativity is hungry. I keep feeding it!
Catching up on rest and sleep. and eating healthy.

Love the idea of hungry creativity! Im arguing with myself a lot today too, fantasizing about not being an alcoholic and going to get a bottle for Valentines Day… instead I will:

  • go to a 4pm meeting
  • Journal and work on some prompts from my counselor
  • Be HONEST in my writings and not just put stuff down for my counselor to say good job
  • meditate and pray for guidance/direction
  • do something nice for a stranger
  • look for sparkling apple juice (if i trust myself in the bodega)
  • watch a movie sober and remember the ending!!

Thanks TS :purple_heart:

There’s a bug going around and I’ve felt it trying to get me for a few days. It got me last night. I feel miserable, headache, no energy, hot/ cold sweats. I’m starving but food isn’t agreeing with me. It reminds me of detox, and how often I used to volunteer to feel like shit. All I’m missing is the yellow eyes and feelings of impending doom.

I’m listening to recovery based things while I rest.

Oh man I had to work all the tools today but I did it hour by hour. I:

  • went to 3 meetings! One zoom and 2 in person
  • Got a phone number for a potential sponsor
  • texted my accountable friend that I was craving
  • Posted on here
  • so much sugar but thats okay!
  • read the daily reflection first thing in the morning
  • going to journal a bit now and write down the jewels of wisdom I got from all those meetings

One speaker said “dont quit before the miracle happens to you.”

Thanks for the thread!
