Daily Goals

Today I will:

1. Stay Sober with God's help
2. Mail the letters I wrote yesterday
3. Mow the grass
4. Do two loads of laundry
5. Call my mother
6. Be prepared to put any of it down, save for #1, for my children, when they need me.

I am on an extended vacation now so these things are all possible.


What are your goals for today?

What are your goals for today?
7.) Help another person in recovery?

(This daily goal gives me back more than any other goal.)

stay sober and try to think of my blessings, which are many, and not always the bad things which overwhelm me.

Maybe this thread will accomplish that. You are the people I "know" who are in recovery. Maybe in some small way I have helped or will help someone here.

well it's almost the end of the day but I'm going to keep going so here goes:

1. Finish the day sober
2. Not smoke
3. Write
4. Immerse myself in my yoga class and let it help me heel
5. Try not to be anxious about my current relationship issues
6. Make another go at an actual nights sleep
7. Mentally prepare to make it through tomorrow, day 5

Time's up for me! My assessment:

I met all of my goals except the laundry one. There was a problem with a breaker but that is now corrected. I also had a problem with the mower but my husband is gifted mechanically (unfortunately) so I WAS able to complete that task!

We also had an unexpected visitor...a neighbor with his young child. Our children played together while we drank colas and chewed the fat. It was nice to be a normal person on a hot summer day talking to a friend...sober.

Thank You, God.

I have to rethink my daily goals so as not to overwhelm myself.

Just for today I will:

stay sober with God's help
and
get thru the day with God's help.

I don't think I can do anything without God's help - I am too small and weak by myself.

:praying

I have 14 hours to fill here at home. I will be home for several weeks. Boredom is a major trigger for me so I am doing what I can to stay sober. Part of that, for me, includes keeping a list of tasks that I wish to accomplish.

Remember, you are my "group". Additional information along with the "thinking" smilie would help me.

Thanks~

OK-Here goes:

1. Stay sober with God's help. Open myself to Him. Listen to Him as I go about my daily tasks. Talk with Him often. Keep Him by my side.
2. Be there physically, emotionally, spiritually for my children and spouse.
3. Laundry
4. Call about car in shop.
5. Prepare a large afternoon meal with plenty of leftovers
6. Trim the hedges.
7. Be ready to abandon any of this, save for #1 and #2 as the day unfolds.

Today I will...
Make it IOP even though my gas light is on. As long as I make it there. That is all that counts. If I run out of gas coming home. OH well. I will have a nice walk to think about WHY it is I ran out of gas in the first place.
Also to make it to the job interview.
And to put effort into staying sober yet another day.
Wih me staying sober isnt as big a problem as putting the effort in to do so.
Thanks to all the wonderful people here who continue to support me that have made me relize that.
I will accomplish these goals today.

My end of the day wrap up went well. I pushed myself in yoga, set a goal for my practice to be sober and not fear my problems or the path it will take to earn forgiveness and trust from the ones I love for my past actions. I did not write but it was late when I got home and I did not smoke, or drink and though my sleep was broken I did make a go at it.

Today is day 5, a new day for me and time for new goals.
1. Stay sober, not smoke
2. Breath when I feel myself getting anxious instead of letting it consume me
3. Go through my payday grocery shopping routine without going to the liquor store
4. Take the money I would have spent on booze, put it aside, and save it.
5. Write and sleep
6. I will not late night snack when I wake up from broken sleep!
