I thought that was a new little fox!

In CBT my therapist spoke about trying to break the cycle of boom and bust. It is something I am quite resistant too because I like the boom, it’s amazing to be firing on all cylinders and getting shit done. But it does inevitably lead to a crash and the more I think about it, the more I think it’s probably a good thing to try and untie my sense of self worth to what I achieve. I also need to take a step back and make sure that anything I start is something I can finish without making myself ill.

On acceptance v settling… I have asked myself a similar thing. Does it actually even matter? I’m not sure it does.

If you haven’t got one on the go already, make sure you have a completed list as well as (instead of?) a to do list. I bet you’ve done more than you think!

In the UK version of lockdown we are allowed to go for one outdoor exercise session a day. I have been making the most of working from home and some lovely spring weather to replace my commute with a walk through the woods and up the hill.

Morning everyone

Checking in morning of day 3. Still anxious and unease. But i think its getting a bit better every day or at least i pray to. Boyfriend and me are getting back on track, he is beginning to say sweet things to me again and cuddle me and he said yesterday: if i behave myself he will be with me always (behave meaning: dont do my binges) so i have something to fight for here aswell. It gave me peace from the constant thinking that he would leave me. Now i just have a few last things to get settled, they arent easy but neccesary:

  • sent an email and apologize for mig actions of calling my boss drunk and tell her of the changes and find out if she will let me continue my education.
  • call around to train and taxa service to find out if my keys has been handed in.
  • Call my parents and tell them how i am and apologize
  • close my facebook for a while so i dont do stupid stuff or read things triggering me
  • write a message to my best girlfriend saying im back in treatment and i working forward

Thats stuff i need to do to move forward and to end all these negative thoughts i have otherwise i will keep thinking and get more anoxiuos.

Thanks for your support :heart:

Love D

Day 8. Had sort of a rough night of sleep, just took time to fall asleep and then a lot of disturbances once I did. My mornings, actually my whole day everyday, is so chill with no real schedule I’m getting some necessary time to try to get better and be better. Starting the steps and reading the big book is something I’ve never attempted and after starting now I wish would of done it in the past. All the different tools plus forced to stay home are really doing me some good. Not to say that I’m happy at all about what is happening here and everywhere else in the world, I’m disturbed by that, I guess I’m just trying to find a small silver lining in a huge super gray cloud. I’m always with my daughters, 24/7&365, but yesterday my 7 year old told me she loves spending time with me :heart_eyes: I have always been home with her and doing everything with and for her but after just one week I can tell she feels like I’m more present and truly spending time with her, that’s a huge incentive right there for me to keep going. Being a mom is what I do and I need to be sober in order to succeed at that. Have a great sober Thursday everyone :muscle::grin:

  1. I’m so happy I can go out and ride my :bike: for a couple of hours. Being in all day every day would drive me crazy. Need some fresh air. I don’t mind riding alone, I do 9 out of 10 times anyway. My sobriety is good. I slept better. I’m not watching too much news. Doing some house chores. Keeping in contact with my friends and family. Only one friend I stay in physical contact with for now. The status quo will last till Tuesday here, when the government will come with updated rules. I keep going one day at a time. Sober and clean. Please do too friends. Being under the influence brings nothing good. have a good day all. Love from Amsterdam.
