Day 7 and feeling great.

Broken record? You betcha. The most day 1's and 7's on the site? Maybe, and that's totally ok. What a learning experience. Feeling goooood and rockin it for today.

Plan? Yep.

Daily Meditation/positive self care thinking. Putting on the running shoes no matter what no matter who and getting out the door every morning. Pursuing the musical and business activities i love.

That is all. :welcome:

Good to hear it G. Finally putting on the end to my busy season business wise and look forward to running a half marathon in Louisville, KY at the end of the week. Haven't had time to train but I signed up for it before the horrible winter and will look forward to a few days out of town. Meditation and self care thinking definitely the way to go!

Hey G... can I join in making this house.... I have got the foundations pretty sturdy and am building the structural components now... like waking in the mornings and thinking of things I am grateful for instead of things that are going to possibly peeve me off! Making a house of bricks instead of straw!!!!

Way to go, G. I am always surprised by how much meditation helps. Keep it up.

G... thanks for your welcome!!
I find meditation or meaningful thought really helps to 'focus' me for the day. I think of what I want to achieve (like not getting caught up in drama, or not over reacting to something etc).. and then if something does happen during the day that 'tests' me... I am at least a bit prepared and put my little plan into action. Even keep one mantra or affirmation close each day... and use it often during the day.... If I have a bad day..at least I know that life is like that sometimes... it doesn't make me go running for the bottle now.

Fleur,

Senior member status is for the biggest pissheads who used to drink 50 beers a day plus. Just joking sorry. Senior member is 1000 posts. Not sure why you can't set your mood. Probably work tomorrow. You can always email admin/support if it won't work.

Yes, meditation, and mindfulness are useful tools for me. I know for me, emotional balance and avoiding drama whereever possible is essential in my early sobriety. I know i can't avoid it forever, and don't want to, but for now i try to avoid drama and be as happy and stable as i can.

Take care. G bloke.

Hi Guitarista! I'm on track to achieve senior status at some point in the next four years (at my current post rate). I get a lot out of meditating as well. It's one of the best deals out there, do nothing but get these benefits. If I saw that on a commercial I'd laugh and turn it off but it does work. Take care!

Right on Coney! Hope all's good with you mate.

Wrapping up a joyous and productive day 7 here. G'night from downunder.

Hey G-

Sometimes I lurk around on your thread but thought I might join in as I am doing the 3 day thing again as well. I was a bit surprised when I hopped on and saw you were on day 7 cause the last I read here you were a pillar of strength with a bunch of days under your belt.. I had to read back thru about 13 pages to see what was going on but it didn't really say...
The most I have made is 46 days and after that I have bounced around from 13 to 5 to ??

Hmmm I guess I like to think of it as chipping away at progress. At least we are still trying to be sober right.

K9- I absolutely LOVE your new photo with your daughter. I think you must have a set of nuts posting yourself. It's inspiring.

Hiya BK. Good to see you.

Yep, wrapping up day 7 here. Al has been a cunning foe recently, well, as always. But i am in the arena taking action once again. I don't care how long it takes to get it through my thick head, but i am turning up for life and doing.

Fab stuff on day 3! Keep it going friend. G'night from me. :goodjob:
