Yeah bro I’m learning the same thing in therapy too! It’s so true and it’s getting a little easier to do with practice. Keep up the good work!!! :sunglasses::metal:t2:

We sound a lot alike. I’ve addressed this in my therapy too. It’s taken me months to take a kinder tone with myself. Not to mention that the negative effects of alcohol abuse didn’t take place over night and they certainly won’t be reversed overnight. Thank you for your insights!

Aw, that is so beautiful! :relaxed: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
I heard something lovely when one of my pals lost her spouse, but it could apply to any loved one’s passing: “death changes a life, but not the relationship”. It doesn’t work for everyone, but it’s brought me a lot of comfort that we can go on loving the people we’ve lost, talking to them even, while we continue to live out our lives here on earth.
Whether this works for you or not, I’m sure your wife would be so proud of you. :orange_heart:
ps - 3 days til triple digits! Yay!

Day 572 and 56 days smoke free

I’m feeling a little flat right now, not down, just meh, but for me that’s pretty good going. I needed to work from home again for the first time in weeks yesterday and it brought back memories of the very lowest points of lockdown. Looking back now, even just a couple of months ago, I was in a bad way, really struggling with my depression. I think its probably the first time ive properly reflected on lockdown rather than just endured it. Not nice, but it really made me appreciate being back in the office and my job in general. And that I remained sober throughout it all.

Take care folks :+1:

Yeah I get that. I’m in the office three days one week and two days the next on a continuing rota.

Think I was kind of getting used to working from home all the time but it’s no way to live and didn’t have a spare room. So got up, in to the sitting room, worked and watched TV in the same room then bed.

Drinking on and off didn’t help.

Just finished a day working from home an hour ago.
It’s not so bad when I’m not drunk and focused :smiley:

Mate, it was the same for me. The 10ft journey from desk to sofa, moving from one screen to the next. Bloody awful. I’ve got a lot of respect for those that got sober during lock down. It was hard enough maintaining it, let alone starting the journey with all that added stress. Fair play to you :clap::clap:
