Thatās great you came here to vent because few others understand. I never was able to get this far - 6 weeks- plus until I came here. Good for you on 11 days! Like the veterans here say, it only gets easier.

Day #43. Sailing through my 8th weekend with ease. Had zero interest in the bourbon that was poured last night for my once upon fave, old fashioneds. My alcohol free Shirley Temple was much better. Have a sober and relaxing day, everyone. Hope you find something fun to do!

That. Sounds. Amazing. I have arthritis in my hands and feet, specially my thumb and big toe knuckles and it can be excruciating at times. Mostly I just feel inflamed and stiff/sore, especially in the morning and after doing a lot of activity, which sucks because I use my hands a lot while cooking and crafting. I might have to pursue this sugar elimination thing. It also sucks because I crave it so much in my early sobriety. Did you eliminate only processed sugars or also natural sugars like that in fruit, etc.?

Checking in. I came out with a very sensitive topic to my parents a few days ago. I couldnāt avoid it, I had to do it. Now they are freaked out, they think, that Iām a failureā¦ Theyāre blaming themselves, they donāt sleep, donāt eat, feel themselves miserable. I know, that itās their ājobā to deal with it, and itās not my fault if they cannot process it well, but still hurts.

Hell yea congrats
I think you hit on something important when you mentioned needing to be loved by everybody. I, too, struggle with that desire. Itās great to have that self-awareness so we can challenge it, though. For me, it helps me catch myself when I start having negative thoughts or am taking things personally and I try to reframe my thinking to take my feelings out of it. I ask myself, it it really about me? Also, if the group isnāt serving your interests and you donāt feel like you are meshing, do you have to continue? Good luck. Iām glad youāre here and posting!

Congrats on the milestone!!! Yeah, there are lots of ups and downs but its encouraging to realize there are more ups than we thought and that weāre better able to handle the downs. Keep it up - youāre one-third of the way through a year!!!

Iāll be thinking about you and your family today. Take the time to grieve, and I hope you can find the space soon to start telling the stories of his life, all those special, silly, loving moments that he brought to you all. Thatās where the love he gave will remain, in the memories and the stories that will live on. Sending big love.

Day 276.
The ex and I agreed on a real astate agency to sell our house. Next will It will be online and on sale.
Thank god wāre finally at this point. I do hope she doesnāt cancel the deal.
In the mean time Iām trying to place everything that has happened between us. One of the hardest things I have to do. Ever.
Learning how to function on my own. Not clamping on to another person or relationship.
Does anybody have any tips?
Hope youāre all doing wel!
