First Father’s day alone in 9 yrs. Checkin in to straight up mauntain my sobriety. No urges yet and still holding in there but the struggle is real. Separations are no joke even when it ends on good terms. Broken

Thank you for the encouragement! Really hanging in there and doing what is required recovery wise. Functuoning is difficult no matter what how hard I try to let go and stay in the day. Peace off mind and serenity are short periods. Praying like there is no tomorrow :pray:

@Mno Going through a separation that ended well even? Fathers day today and farrk what a trial. Home alone and trying everything to distract myself from the pain. Intrusive thoughts are flooding in and trying to use whats suggested.

Just checked your bio. We been out to Hamilton Island about 7 or 8 years ago. We probably flew into Cairns right?? Lovely place. Had way too much fun out there. You must be getting over winter by now.

Day 11. You know what is bothering me today? Looking at my old posts and wondering where that person went. Anyone?? I know I gave in, for far too long after coming so far, but I dont feel the same energy as before. Why did I mess it all up? I know but I dont. It’s so confusing. I need to get a grip. COVID resentments really f-ing with me today. But truthfully, it’s all my choice. Blah! blah, blah.

Thanks for sharing and your kind words. So sorry to hear about your brother. That’s a lot of pain to carry in your heart. An unfathomable loss. Thinking of you tonight, Mychelle

Day ☆8☆. Had a fantastic day with my daughter. We went grocery shopping and a few other places and just had a wonderful time. She has her driving permit so she’s always excited to drive us everywhere. It’s really made me realize how drinking had put me in my own little world, it feels great being free from that! Sobriety is such a GIFT.

I am going to look up these AA retreats on google, but sometimes, the information isn’t easy to find. I’d be all in for a retreat like this. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, I like to believe he is with me during this transition time of my life. Our father’s are our protectors, and even though mine is not on this Earth, he is still protecting me and guiding me in the right direction. Thank you for your kind words my friend!! Your father is proud of you, as are we in this wonderful community. Thanks again​:heart::hugs:
