MissOverIt

Remind myself often about how deadly and disgusting my lonely my alcoholism had become. Also, Christmas cookies! 😆

Guilt-free chocolate is my favorite sober splurge!

Clean my room and stay on SR. It is Day 3 for me and I need to get out of bed.

I printed out a sober recovery plan template. Today I'm going to take steps to put it together, plus making a to-do list and actually crossing things off (since I'm not hungover!) Day 3.

I definitely have a tea problem. I have dozens of different kinds....too many (imagine that). I like to mix teas. Like take green tea and mix it with a rasberry tea.....that sort of thing. I have a milk steamer so I make london fogs...so yummy. I'm into loose leaf tea now too. I also make iced teas...my favorite is peppermint tea with green tea then I add passionfruit syrup (you can get em cheap at cash and carry if you're in the US). Blackberry too. Honey in tea....always a winner. Or just straight up green tea. There's a loose leaf green called Fruity pebbles....it has bits of dried fruit in it that mellow out any bitterness. I also bought orange peel, rose petals and lavender petals (dried) from cost plus that I add to teas. Of course you can buy all those flavored teas but this is more fun.

And I'll be working out, walking my dog and house cleaning today. Its a no AA day. I have a friend who is in crisis mode right now so I may need to be of service to her. That's about it.

I read somewhere (I believe) that accomplishing items on a to do list helps trigger dopamine levels...or enhance...or something along those lines haha. Dopamine helps with motivation I believe.

I've been making a reasonable, small to do list every day, And boy, it feels great to cross things off. I certainly feel the effects in a positive way.

Its kinda funny....as I'm reading your post RUL23 I'm looking at three lists....a shopping list, a list of colleges and various data (for my daughter), my to do list and my calendar. Lists help keep me on track, get things done and ease anxiety. I guess they are really a huge part of a 'plan'. I prefer the term 'program' but its just semantics.

I've started by making the small, reasonable list late every night and it's one of the first things I look at when I wake up. Then slowly chip away!

Two things: SR and exercise.

BlissWithin

Drink cold water and wait till night to eat something. It's really hot today to do things.

Mark1014

Started the day with gym time.

After work will look around SR a bit.

At bedtime will devote 30 min or so to something relaxing and interesting on Netflix.

Petting my dogs and cats always makes me feel contented. It's a good reminder how much better I care for them sober.

Carrot juice as a snack before bed tonight.....lol....we will see how this goes!

Meditate in the morning for 15 minutes, followed by saying out loud three things I’m thankful for

Go to the gym

Sahwen

Doing service work at my home group. Power-lifting at the gym(while cursing and spitting like a savage). Going with my sponsor to the detox center I came from on Christmas eve to give gifts and candy.

Getting your license? I've toy'd with the idea since I invest in properties anyway,but just don't really have the time right now.
