The Language of letting go
That’s so freaking nice of you to say!! Thank you! I havent been called strong in a long time… it is empowering. You are super strong too.
I am definitely going to do my best to get some money stacked so I can move down there.
We’re all in this together, without the support I’ve received on here I’m not convinced I would be doing so well. We are strong and remember having goals on the app is nice but everyday is a milestone so you me and everybody all deserve to be proud. Wish you well on your journey.
Checking in
Just about day 11 meth free and a few hours shy of day 8 cigarette free.
Life is good.
I’m back in the cold state of MN. I’ve been hanging with my best friend’s since I returned and can actually say I missed the fuck out of everyone. It’s good to be home.
In case you haven’t heard it today
YOU’RE AWESOME AND I LOVE YOU
We can always rely on you for our daily dose of love. I THANK YOU.
That means alot.
I recall in my first year I felt so lonely that I urned for someone to just tell me I’m loved. So, I made it a point to make sure I always tell someone I love them every day.
Checking In: 44. Work 2 out of 3 tonight. Got an unexpected pay raise yesterday after the company I work for did a market analysis, I guess to keep up with competition and to help retain critical care nurses. This is before my merit increase coming up in November. So. Friggin’. Relieved My mom also closed on her home last week and deposited a few into my checking account… she told me this was my inheritance Anyway… took it as a sign that the Universe is saying don’t give up just yet. Everything will be ok, I got your back
In other news… my Dad’s mom passed away last night. I’m close to neither and felt a little strange not having that typical emotional response, when one is given news that a relative has passed away. She was 92 and one of the meanest, feistiest ladies I’ve ever met. Haven’t seen my dad in 9 years (his choice, not mine). Curious if he’ll be there. Will be attending her funeral sometime next week.
Anywho… that’s what’s up. Hope you ladies and gentleman are doing well!!
I’ve got family there, parents and brother and almost moved there. But like I said, Ive got family there…
You got this lady and we all got your back…
D 403. Would this be wrong of me…yesterday 2 incidents happened that made my malice of people flare. First, rude employee in walmart says to me, after asking her to remove headphones from locked case, “well are you going to buy it?” My response was in an equally annoyed tone was wow you’re a rude one aren’t you…but what I wanted to say was, no I’m gonna toss it the floor and smash it with my heel…
2nd a few hours later while waiting in a car line thats way too long at my son’s school, I had to pee. So I asked inside at the front desk to use their restroom, 3 woman were there, 2 didnt even look up at all and the third flatly said no. No explanation until i asked a second time then she said it’s against their security policy. I explained who my son was, one woman at the front desk knows my family and I explained that my wife volunteers time and money by way of cooking for school and again, no, just no. So all I could muster was, “amazing, I guess I’ll go piss across the street in the weeds”. But what I should if done was just pissed myself while standing in front of them with an explanation of “oops, and I guess now you have a mess to clean up dont you…”
If that makes me seem ugly or fucked up in anyway well maybe I am, but I’m also a guy who’s so tired of the duetschbaggery exhibited by people these days…so I’ll ask again, would it be wrong of me?
Day 26. It seems as though I can’t catch a break. The last few weeks has been one bad thing after another. And not just little things. Life changing things. I am barely hanging on. I am so tired of hurting. My brain can’t take anymore. But I am still sober so I have that. Without that all of this would be so much worse.
Thankful for the strength to remain sober . I just feel so broken.
Silas man, you know we love you dude.
Come here you big softie
I would have reacted in the same way Chris. I hate rudeness, especially from customer service roles. I get it, we all have bad days but, their role is customer facing, so training should dictate how they behave.
Well done for holding it in mate. Literally!
Yay!!! Happy Friday to you too. You will be fine I’m sure… I faced a few harsh triggers myself today and I know I’m in such early, early days, but this community has become a healing mantra already on a personal level: I had various words / sentences running through my head from here and I sailed it in the end… I’m no fool… I know there are massive downs to come but now I’ve read and totally get the fact that the ups and downs are natural in every field of life I feel better equipt to see it as just that. Good Luck… You’ve got this I’m sure
Thank you! I really appreciate your replies, you’re so encouraging
Anytime, it’s what we do. We’ve been there, we are still there. When I am low I’m sure you will have the right words for me too.
75 days sober.Hope everyone has a great weekend
Checking in day 5. Last overnight shift for the week. Hope everyone has a relaxing weekend
