Had a great morning fishing and we are having hot wings for dinner (the dinner choice should tell you how the fishing went lol). I also had my second weigh in today and I am down 12 pounds (large part due to no longer drinking and laying around trying ro recover), which is awesome! Still a ways to go, but I am fine with being a work in progress…perfection can’t possibly be fun!

Sending extra strength and love your way. Family issues are hard. I’m having like a personal mantra “Just because you’re family doesn’t mean that you have to like eachother, or even hang out” most often I don’t have much of a choice, but in my Opinion it’s totally okey to cut family out if they make you feel bad. No obligations,you don’t owe them the right to treat you bad. You owe yourself to feel good and be treated nicely. But again I know family issues are hard and complicated.
I hope it turns out to the best and that you’ll feel better soon.

It’d be nice to have a motherly mother yes. Sorry you’re lacking that Jenna. I’m very glad you got a good strong sober circle now though. I’m very glad you’re here Jenna. We can’t choose our families but we can choose who we associate with and you are making the right choices in tthat area. You’re growing while staying sober and even though you’re hurting now I want you to know you are doing fantastic lady. I’m proud of you for coming here and sharing. That’s handling this very painful stuff in a very mature way. Big hugs.

Day 362. Killer workout this morning. One cat tried killing the other, that was fun. Picked up the kiddo…and now it’s raining, so time to smash through a few episodes of Kingdom.
Have a strong day!!!

Good afternoon beautiful people. Wanted to say hi and check in on day 1026. Looking forward to a big book study later this afternoon. Make it an incredible day in sobriety my friends.

Started the day off with meditation and an AM prayer that my sponsor gave me. Made a small/manageable To Do list, to take care of some tasks that have been hanging over me. I’m working on my Step 3 homework for awhile and I’ll catch a meeting later today.
I usually want to tackle everything at once, when I sober up. I’m trying to prioritize recovery right now. If I don’t have that foundation, I won’t have all these other aspects of life to work on anyway.

It’s such an easy trap to fall into, but you’re here getting back to it and that’s awesome. Hope you can use it as a learning opportunity, there will be situations that test us and we just have to find different ways of reacting to them!

There will be challenges ahead but opportunities too - none of us know what the future holds, ever! CV19 has really brought those uncertainties into focus, trust that your 512 days puts you in a strong position to navigate that. Being able to take things one day at a time is a strength that lots of people outside the recovery community will be wrapping their heads around for the first time. You’ve got this!

Glad to hear you aren’t going to drink! What are you going to do instead? Sounds like a good time to do something restful and restorative, to get you ready for the week ahead.
Day 33. Definitely in relapse mode. Attack thoughts, suicidal thoughts all last night. Last night I had my first dream in months and it was about relapsing…lol. Life seems possible until I reach moments like this. I don’t feel like I can live with an emotional shield so fragile. I can coax myself to a certain extent until something triggers this nonsense. I hope I still have the strength to do check-ins. Time will tell haha.

Stay strong!!! It will pass, just dont give in! Try to make it through today. And then tomorrow just try to make it through tomorrow. It only takes one drink and then its such a slippery slope. I pray you have strength! You’ve got this!!

I like your positive spin on it, thank you. I wish I didn’t lean towards the negative all the time. I need to get some enthusiasm for life back

Check out for today. Still here, still sober, still afraid of going to sleep.
Couldn’t focus on the camping trip, it got canceled because of the weather that’s coming. So I’ve got the idea of camping under the dining room table instead.
So now I’m supposed to sleep outside the “tent” on the sofa to “watch out for bears” my boys are sleeping under the table by the fake campfire.
Tomorrow we’re going to a nearby city to hopefully play in a hug playground and do some shopping. If the weather is better than predicted we’re going to make camping food outdoors with S’mores tomorrow night.
Goodnight y’all
