600 days sober
Morning guys,
Happy Saturday and weekend to everyone on the forum I hope you all have some good things planned for the weekend and some sober activities to immerse yourselves in. I've started the day with positive intent, a work out and taken my daughter to gymnastics club.
I'll probably watch a bit of the European championship football later.
I bought a book to help me through my current relationship issue called codependency no more after some recommendations from you guys on here and I'm looking to absorb as much of the knowledge you have passed on about the situation and use it in positive ways to better myself. It is irrelevant what the final outcome of this space will be, I have to get in to the HERE and NOW and that I have responsibilities to uphold with my daughter, family, football and band commitments.
I suppose as an addict (alcohol, junk food whatever it has been over the past few years for me) I've sought to control everything. I need to be ok with doing the EXACT OPPOSITE in this instance.
I'm 600 days sober today, not that I really count anymore and that's not because I'm in the clear so to speak but for me the sobriety is going to be a lifelong challenge now and not something I want to put a counter on (it was useful in the early days though for anyone JUST starting out). I'm not under any illusion either, things can spike you and get you down (see any one of my previous posts, anyone regularly following me deserves a medal for sticking by me and advising). I know I need to improve myself each day and aim to be at peace.
If my girl truly loves me, she'll find a way back, if not, I'm afraid that I need to push on through and make things better for me, it's no good going over old ground now, it's done and dusted, no one is perfect / faultless and I won't allow myself to ruminate over past errors as its not in line with my current mindset. Space heals I guess.
I'm tackling my issue with junk food now, and going to get in the best shape of my life, there is so much to get busy with and so much to be grateful for. I've beat smoking / drinking it's on to the next one now!!!

Stewy,
Role model post for me. You have the winners edge. We know writing it down reinforces resolve. Hence the power of this site.
It is tough being w out a sig. Other.
Being sober through tough times, and happy times, is the right answer. We know that. 13 mo. Here.
Getting in shape is really a game changer. I'm 51 and dropped 40 lbs in the last year.
I did it not by dieting, i try to eat clean, but by making puddles of sweat at various workout locations. It strengthens me knowing I can eat a second, or third, dessert because I am in pretty good shape. I can power through workouts hat stall a less fit 18 year old. Ya!
I do everything from cardio to power lifting. What ever it takes.
The opposite sex can overlook a funny face for a great body and sound mind.
I love those trainer assisted workout classes. They really add to the value of a gym membership. Do you have access to one?
Thanks for the post.
