I’ve found it helpful to write down a few items at the end of the day, before bed. Things I did well that day, something I accomplished that day, something I did to help someone that day. They can be small things. They don’t have to be grandiose acts.
I think you and I both have trouble giving ourselves credit. This is an exercise that makes you look at the good you did for the day. It helps me recognize my accomplishments, instead of just forgetting them or not acknowledging them. Maybe it’d help you, man.
It was the first perfect pair I ever found. Because of my shoe size it’s almost impossible to find a pair wide enough at the feets to actually get the chance to fit my feet in and get them on. But they where from Zara so it shouldn’t be to hard. Ahe can’t borrow my shoes unfortunately because she’s like 5 sizes below me. Otherwise it might have been the other way around. I hate buying shoes and she owns a ton
Hi everyone, time for me to pack it in for the night. I understand that those of you in N.America have holidays tomorrow… Columbus Day in the US and Thanksgiving in Canada… I hope that everything goes well for all of you, and that you have a great and sober time with your families / friends.
Over here, tomorrow is just Monday !
Anyway, my counter is just about to hit 60 days, and I’m pretty happy about that. This is my longest sober stretch in about five years… actually, anything over a week was my longest stretch in about five years !! By the time Christmas gets here, I’ll be past my “record” of about 125 days… almost halfway there !
60 days… I need to do a bit of dieting too, I think, but… one step at a time, I guess.
Goodnight all.
Write down how much TS people love you…
And you help so many here…
And you’re a great dad…
You’re very courageous! It takes b@%$# to do all that you’re doing, Mike. ♂
What’s that feeling your looking for. You said yourself you know your better than you were so what do you want, self gratification or self knowledge. Just be who you are mate bc trust me we like what we see and if your an arsehole we’ll let you know.
Sophia, you need to buy a few pairs of those perfect skinny jeans because she’ll probably wear out the one she “borrowed” and come back for another. lol
@vaariesga@anon86726034 As a mum of a previously dino-obsessed kid I cannot cope with this “3 horn” and “long neck” mumbojumbo. You mean a triceratops and a sauropod of some sort ( ).
@SoberGuyUSA That’s great! (Two years was a hell of a long wait, tho). It has been two months for me and I finally can pop out to the store without concerned looks, and go out for the day and not have people checking me when I come back.
@Fargesia_murielae That is a hard “what if” to deal with. However, as a stepdad you able to give as much love and guidance as a father could. The rest is just DNA.
Day 15. Spent a quiet day at home with my dog. Worked on my knitting project and spoke to my parents on the phone. I also watched some episodes of Schitt’s Creek. It was just the slow day I needed today.
@RosaCanDo I’m knitting a hat for a friend currently. I just found a pattern for a cowl that I’m going to try next. What are you working on currently?
