Your Doing exactly what you’re supposed to do which is live your life and enjoy your life sober. Proud of you man. But sorry to hear you broke your wrist. That’s skateboarding for you! I have broke both my wrist a couple times and it used to drive me crazy depending what kind of cast I would have and I would have to stick a pencil in between the cast and my arm because the itching would drive me crazy! Hopefully you don’t have to deal with that. At least you can still cruise around if you feel like it… That was always my thinking when I broke an arm or wrist I would immediately think that I can still skate so that’s good! Breaking an arm or wrist will interfere with your life a little bit Breaking a leg or ankle is a whole different story.

I broke my arm/wrist once. The doctor pushed my hand down at a 90 degree angle (oh the pain) and casted it that way. Imagine trying to sleep that way. 4 weeks later another doc removed it and asked why the 1st doc had done that. Soooo mad!!

Had a long a very good talk with my sponsor. Helped me to stop the alcoholic thoughts I was having and calm my anxieties about the future.

Prayed multiple times, mostly for strength and guidance.

Read some AA grapevines

As always, posted on here and did not drink!

(Edited to add check marks)

It’s almost around dinner time. Gonna try and see if I can manage the ones marked with the arrow. I’m too tired to work on my website though. But that’s okay. I already did a lot.

[Edit at night]
I ended up working on my website anyway because I felt bored. Feeling pretty satisfied with it so far.

I am putting my recovery first and reaching out to the Higher Powers often.

-looking for Their guidance
-having faith hoping and loving
-i am being/doing/feeling good, and helping/loving/serving GOD/others
-coping

being a part of this community too has been awesome since I live in a small town where the recovery community isn’t as big (Snowflake, Arizona)

lots more actually i keep myself busy doing good as much as possible
