- Redoing my floor has given me the most satisfaction of my kitchen project so far. The sanding was a tough job, as quite a lot of dirt was so deep in the wood it had to be sanded out, but now I applied hardwax oil it looks almost like new and is ready for another decade at least. Last time I did it was 21 years ago when I moved in but it might be a good idea to renew it sooner next time. For now only the radiator and some heating pipes left to paint, happy this is starting to look like something.
I would never have taken this on if I was still drinking. Sober it took my quite a while to get in the right headspace for it too. And some anti-depressants. But happy with where I am now. Lots of work to do. Physical, mental, spiritual work. No time for complacency. Learning to love myself is hard work but so worth it. Thanks for being here all. It helps so much. Love from my new kitchen.
@CapriciousCapricorn Great work lady! Huge congrats.
@M-be-free49 Everybody in its own time. Happy for you, those are some great realisations and insights.
@Claartje Please share, I’d like to read more from you. I’m sure your English is sufficient. Also you can use online dictonairies and google translate.

Day 28…
Tested yesterday, but I didn’t pick up nor get chucked in a coppers van for my flip out.
Today starts with a smile that’s the promise to myself.

Can’t believe it’s 50 days already. I know I don’t post much but looking and learning from your posts has been a real help.
Hopefully soon I will be more ready to start commenting a bit more and maybe help other people.

I am so jealous, there are autumn goods in the shop, and I am like wtf, still over 35 everyday.
Back to day 1. Today is an emotional day. I feel very weak, afraid, timid, unstable. Trying to stay present and ride the waves – be brave. Longing for the days when I felt so strong. There is nothing more empowering to me than sobriety, and I feel so far away from it. I’m so daunted by the journey back – it was dark and lonely for so long.
