Night time check in (out). Day 7. I just did my first recovery meeting. I’m SO, SO very proud of myself. It was nowhere near as informative as you lovely bunch, but it has given me some local accountability and 7 day goal setting.
I just want to say THANK YOU to every single person who has ever typed ‘have you tried a meeting?’ on this forum. Because finally I have.
Yours in gratitude x

- Good morning! Our days are finite on this earth. Make today the best it can be. We cant control many things but we do control our attitude.

Day 429
I feel a need today to try to be more compassionate, positive, and embrace other people a little more. I feel as though my default is to keep people out, keep people at a distance. I do think I’m pretty considerate, but I think that I can still do better, be better. I can be a better son, a better boyfriend, a better friend to myself and others. This is not just an external thing, I need to learn to be nicer and more forgiving to myself…because really, I’m not.
I long for deep connections with people, but I need to befriend myself first and stop viewing the world as my adversary if I’m going to find those connections and keep the ones I have.
What I am trying to keep in mind is: we are all just people doing our best to get by. Everyone has dreams, hopes, fears, troubles – often times we share some of the same ones. The world is a rough enough place, and no one is perfect. So, be a little kinder, a little gentler, and have a laugh sometimes.

To any of the female posters on the forum who maybe battling reproductive diseases like endometriosis (as I am), I have definitely hit a mile stone I’d like to briefly share. I’ve been dealing with severe endometriosis for a long time now and even lost an ovary and fallopian tube due to it! It’s day 16 for me alcohol free and about 1.5 weeks in plant based dieting. I’m only drinking water and tea for my liquids and for the 1st time in these 5 or 6 years I’m not bleeding in between my periods!!! This is HUGE for me, I wanna cry. I didn’t want to speak too soon but it’s been about 5 days and no copper colored discharge, bloodclots, and cramping in between cycles. Sorry if this is gross to the male followers but I’m just trying help any ladies on the forum battling with endometriosis, PCOS or anything of the sort. I think alcohol was definitely worsening my condition. This solidifies my will to remain sober.
