Congratulations, and happy birthday to your boy. I recognize the feeling, my oldest turns 18 in February and have adhd. It’s a great thing we can be here to help them with things that are difficult.
The good thing with dream interpretation is that you actually don’t need to many details. Just the most important key elements, colors and feelings that are present in the specific dream. So if you ever get second thoughts about it the offer still stands
I make a lavender spray and goodnight tea to sleep better and to make one of my boys sleep at all. (we also make a rhyme every night, because it all comes straight from the friendly Sandman) I also just placed some lavender plants in our bedrooms. But I have no idea if that really helps.
The spray is made in a travel spray bottle and contains boiled water, and about 10 drops of essential lavender oil.
The tea is made of lavender, passionflower and Chamomile. We usually drink it with honey and a little milk.
I wish you the best of days and a wonderful celebration for your 19 year old
Well, I guess I am into day 16. I can’t seem to stop watching the riots in Downtown Omaha. Crazy days and I definitely don’t want to drink because of it.
Day 4 here… Ive been praying for your son, @anon79808082, which was a great reminder for me to PRAY. I pray he snaps out of it! Tonight I lit a candle after reading my daughter her bed time books and me, her, and my fiance all said what we are thankful for. I then proceeded to make everyone sing kumbaya. Apparently I am feeling more like myself with each sober day. Sobriety feels sooooo good.
Congrats on the big 60 @Quit4myDaughter!! and 150 @beaniebun
Ive been seeing soooo many 444s during my sober journey holy crap! @liv_m and none during my relapses. I want to help so many people out of addiction one day. I just need to help myself first.
Day 171! Today was not good. My girlfriend ended up breaking up with me after like 3-4 months, so that just really sucked. I also had cravings related to it, also bad. I’m glad I didn’t relapse, but it still sucked. I’m hoping tomorrow will be better
Well done not drinking over the break up. I hope you wake up tomorrow feeling proud of yourself and realizing you’re one step closer to an even better sober life. Do you have anyone you can discuss the breakup with and how it might impact sobriety? Something like a sponsor or a friend who’s supporting your sober life? Might be a good idea to reach out to them.
While in a casual conversation with my brother in law, my husband told him that my step-dad was actually my biological father, as I found out after my mother died. I am actually ok with the situation, but I don’t know if it was the suddeness of someone else dropping the bombshell, but I started shivering and voice went weird. Really wanting to self-soothe now. But will have a hot tea or something.
It’s been a while. I’m working in my garden a lot these days, as the weather is beautiful around here. Checking in sober on day 45.
Have a good 24, everyone!
I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling this way. Don’t be too hard on yourself! All is well. It’s OK to not feel OK right now. Sending positive vibes your way hun
sorry to hear this but well done on staying strong, life goes on and not always how we want, expect or feel we deserve but clean and sober is the only way to deal with it all better.
8 days and I stayed sober during the weekend, had to turn down a cider that was handed to me yesterday with the idea from the giver, that “It doesn’t contain that much alcohol anyway, it should be okey” but besides that I was all good.
Today my husband goes back to work for the week and the guests are going back home. I’m going to do some garden work, buy a few new houseplants and clean. Tomorrow I’m starting a project about turning an old bookshelf into a faux fireplace.
My back is improving. Very probably I’m back to work on Tuesday. While on sick leave I’ve been busy grading ‘my’ trainee nurse. I have to make him fail his traineeship and being the pleaser I am I find it very hard to do. Gives me lots of stress and anxiety. It is the right thing to do though. Like staying sober and clean is, which doesn’t give me stress or anxiety at all. Instead it gives me a clear mind and a body that can heal way faster and better compared to when i drank every day. have a good day all. Sober and clean. Do the right thing. Love from from Amsterdam where Luna’s happy with the birthday card she got and I’m happy with Luna.
Sobriety feels sooooo good.
