Woke up feeling like I wanted another layaround day, but was feeling well enough not to be able to justify that. So i went to a meditation class and an AA meeting, which is quickly becoming my saturday routine.
I cried in that meeting. Ive been so triggered and so anxious these last few days, im full of self doubt and SO SO SO MANY FEELINGS. I let out some of it, but now that im home i think its time to just feel it all and ugly cry for as long as i need
After that, its a cold rainy night, so i think i might go pass out some warm cloths and rain ponchos to the unhoused in my neighborhood. I think i also have enough stuff to make some sandwiches (and i wont be able to eat cheese or meat for a few days so I dont want it to go bad.)
By then i will have earned a movie night in front of the heater
Coffee and check in.
More coffee and reading.
Play with the dogs.
Make lasagna soup w/wife.
Watch a movie and/or nap.
Get ready for work tomorrow.
Go to bed sober.
*Slip in an online meeting if needed. Sip 4-5 cans of seltzer water after the coffee is gone.
Morning meditation done.
I have been stressing about a couple of things work related, and instead of stressing over them all day, I talked to my fishing partner and resolved them.
Now, I can get lost in my creativity without anything to distract me.
Self care.
Participating here.
coffee and journaling with doggie snuggles on the couch
Checked in and stayed semi active here
played card games and watched a movie with my youngest while my oldest was at the mall ( fun fact it takes 3 hrs for a 14 year old girl to get her outfit, hair and make up just right for the mall lol )
shared about my sobriety for the first time on social media. This was big for me as it really felt like I was finally admitting to the world and essentially to myself about my addiction
Taking it easy to hopefully get the swelling in my knee to go down
Tonight’s SLAA meeting will be nice.
Talked to a friend this morning.
Pushing myself to learn more about my less desirable behaviors.
And spending time with my wife and child.
Early bird.

I’ve been enjoying the weather break.
I have been sleeping good.
Good sleep is a luxury for me. It feels good to be caught up.
I’m going to eat breakfast before I get started on my projects.
Breakfast is something I’m working on being better about eating too, I usually just coffee and go.
keep working on my blessings of recovery.
I’m going to listen to recovery based things while I paint this morning. I will start with Chapter 11 from the big book.
Feed my creativity!! its HUNGRY!
I’m riding the train into the city right now, too! Would love to get a bike again for when spring rolls around. I started my morning by taking my vitamins and chugging a big glass of water. I’m going to keep focusing on nourishing myself with good food and motivational quotes as I move into Day 2. I’ll also reschedule a session with my therapist so I can get back to using my voice to heal and grow. Wishing you and everyone on the thread a lovely day.
morning meditation.
Morning forum participation.
I’m going to film the sunrise.
Continue to get my blessings of recovery dialed in.

Feed my creativity.
Today is day one! I’m feeling heavy in my breathing which is scaring me enough to stay off the vapes for good! Hopefully this won’t need a doctor visit. Otherwise, I’m spending my day reading and enjoying fresh air! Hope your bike ride goes well!
Thank you so much! This community has helped me so much in the 12 or so hours I’ve joined up for. I know I can do this and will strive to have a better future!
Making time to post here.
