I don’t think children don’t remember the hard parts. I was a child not all too long ago. I remembered everytime my dad hit me and I remember everytime he yelled at me and called me an asshole. I think it is hope that made it easier.

kids remember everything. I’m 48 and I can only remember the hard parts of childhood yet I can’t remember yesterday.

Godmorning from Sweden, foot is worse today. Weather too, it’s rainy and windy and cold (+13 C) feels like autumn already.

But my mood is more up today, I’m on day 38 sober and planning our city weekend/vacation trip.
We’re staying in our own region about an hour one way drive from our house (Sweden is small) but it’s going to be nice to get a break from real life and just focusing on doing something fun.

I’ve also started to plan and pack for me and the 10 y/o trip to my aunt and the cousins 1st communion this weekend, and I’ve decided to take a swim in the ocean even if it’s really cold.

Wishing y’all a wonderful day.

I agree, I remember the hard parts too. But the god ones as well, I don’t miss much from when I was a kid but I do miss the feeling of belonging to something and the no doubt faith I had when I was really young. It’s complicated being an adult, but compared to be a teen I guess it’s easier.

I think about 90% of addicts, so like @Fargesia_murielae, welcome to the club

[anon89207786]

Hey Steak, I am happy that you feel happy, but be aware of addiction, because I’ve seen too often that people feel so good that they think they can use once, so please be careful

Did you buy plants or did you discover a new species of lizard?

Day 148. So last night while laying down, I really had a case of fuck this sobriety. I’m sick of always feeling sore from my workouts. Exhausted feeling in general, my tennis elbow won’t go away and my motivation is shit, my diet is going to fucking hell and I can’t stop eating food, I wake up every night and eat on top of already eating. When I first started sobriety, doing my bike hikes and runs was what I loved and now I just don’t want to do them. My mindful meditation doesn’t feel like it’s doing shit for me now. And even tho I have some ppl tell me they are proud I was just feeling fucking over it… One minute I’m cool with the loneliness and the next I’m sick of it, I see ppl who are out there that can have drinks and socialize and they are happy. I’m fucking miserable most of the time, and avoid pretty much everyone and everything bc I don’t want to be around alcohol, or anyone that really associates with it bc there is no true meaning in getting drunk all the time, they are loud and annoying, they have no purpose other then to drink and I just don’t want to be around anyone like that. But yet my mind tells me I’m missing it. I actually feel a bit better this morning, but wanted to write out how I was feeling last night.

Hi Mel. So happy to see you doing so well.

[Dolse71]

welcome down from your cloud mate, now begins the next part of your journey, your ego has been waiting a long time for this moment. Your still an alcoholic it’s what we are, we have to work this everyday or complacency will kill us. Well done on your days BTW, every one a miracle, let’s carry on making miracles.

Sobriety is not always great and I think everyone has these periods. I had this last week. I felt so shitty, I cried at night because I wanted to game so badly and I was so jealous of others who could just game. But I discovered that it was through bad sleep and a lot of stress. and now I’m doing way better. I think there may be a similar factor in your life and I think it will get better with time.
