Tank you ⊠My heart is breaking after reading about moose. I know how you feel when you say the house is so quite without them. Itâs a feeling that didnt really go away for me. I had two pups for 12 years and when they passed I fell apart. I still break down when I see the same type of breed of dog out if Iâm on a walk. They sadness sucks but itâs life I guess. Loosing what you love unconditionally is never going to be easy⊠Thinking about you X
Thanks love it really is so hard.
Checking in im 4 days sober & went to my first AA meeting tonight
I hope you can get out of your funk. I had quite a few days awhile back like that. A few months ago. I just couldnât shake it. I didnât fight it either. I let 3-5 days of being depressed happen and eventually I came out of it. I hope you can too. (Disclaimer: I donât have a chronic depression problem and Iâm not suggesting this to anyone who might have sever depression.)
Love the mercury in retrograde thingy. I had an old friend who believed in stuff like that. She was a really nice lady and kept insisting funk and weird shit happens when mercury is in retrograde. Iâm not into that. But I donât dismiss it at all either.
I at least got my walk in every day. Youâll get your mojo back. I just know it.
All my star seeds and light workers alight⊠It is that time again, mercury is in retrograde till November 4th ⊠So buckle up, itâs going to be a bumpy one for the last one of 2020âŠany of yâall that donât know much about this, google mercury retrograde October 2020. It will give you much clarity and understanding. @Chiron @CapriciousCapricorn
âŠor the beer!
Seriously though, 90 days! Yesssssss. Huge congrats. You sound (through your posts) so very at home in your sobriety, comfortable in your sober skin, and looking ahead sans worry to the beautiful days to come. Amazing.
You planted that song in my brain this morning, which made me smile too!
âŠyou want to be where you can see, our troubles are all the sameâŠ
âŠyou want to be where everyone knows your nameâŠ
So glad youâre here.
You are so sweet, thank you!
You know, I honestly didnât even think about the fact that I was mentioning a show about a bar until @Dazercat mentioned it! I sort of face palmed a little, but Iâm really good at saying inappropriate things in the wrong places without even realizing what Iâve done.
I think weâre cooler than Cheers anyway. TS needs a theme song. Roooooooobiiiiiin!!! (Iâm not going to @ him )
Iâm glad youâre here too. Cheers to being clean and sober!
Phew! Not just me. Iâm really glad this isnât high school - where Iâd be trying to check your answer (okay, cheat) during a test to make sure I got it rightâŠ
I love me a theme song. I am just rewatching the series new girl. And Jess is the og at theme songs lol. So funny⊠Some times I kinda feel like my own days are montages of musicals where Iâm singing along to my own theme song lol
Day 473. Not in a great headspace today. Questioning everything. Donât want to drink. But also, donât want to feel lonely and kinda⊠excluded anymore. I had problems with alcohol, but it seems, I still have problems now.
Itâs like youâre your own Disney princess!
Iâm so sorry youâre feeling down today Is there something going on in particular thatâs bothering you?
Day 109.
A bit of a test at work today, but less my sobriety being tested and more my sanity ! All good. I sometimes knee-jerk still throughout the day - a spontaneous âI could use aâŠâ thought, but I canât even finish the thought before I realize that I actually donât want a drink. Iâve just practiced finding an escape route for so long, when things get difficult. Now Iâm practicing breathing, not losing my sh*t (internally - so not good for heart health!), and taking healthy breaks. Came home to cuddles from the dog girl - now that takes the edge offâŠ
Gânight all - big love
@WLADutch congrats on Day 12! Stay strong. Most of my world doesnât think I have a drinking problem. Theyâre wrong.
@Katie11 welcome! congrats on 4 days!
@crystalclear Happy 400! You have rock star status / star power in my mind!
@TSan sounds like a great plan for the night, and kudos for being so intentional, to keep everything on track. I have to make a solid plan for my time too if Iâm having a trigger-happy day at work (or in life).
@I.cant.We.can 9 months - woo hoo!
@Girlinterrupted you are sounding more and more like GirlComplete, or whole, or full oâ self love. Itâs beautiful to watch.
Day 761
Working today. Still whole day wearing a mouth mask. Hope the face shields arriving next week so clients can see me smiling again
Rehersel yesterday with my band was with face masks too. Strange to look around and see 30 people with drums and facemasks.
Hope we can âlaughâ about those memories in about a year (hope sooner) and this will not be a âstatus quoâ
But hé: still sober and still see the beauty of life. Have to put more work then normal in it to mantain it, but I can do that.
Picture made a few days ago during one of my walks. A âWilde Peenâ flower (I think it is) surviving autumn.
Have a great saturday! And if you are feeling downâŠgo outside and meet nature!
Nature cures
60 days !
Crazy how fast time fly. My first days sober seems almost another life. No matter how good or bad the moments are, they will vanished quickly anyway. This entire year has been like a dream and I have the feeling to have accomplished so little.
Now that I have reach this milestone, my hunger is deeper and more demanding. I accept less and less my distractions, my lack of focus; I want nothing but hard work and competitiveness to prove myself.
I really thought that being sober could bring me peace and a feeling of satisfaction but apparently I was wrong - I just ignited my anger even more.
I donât know yet if it is for the best, but since itâs happening I want to see where it leads.
I hope everyone will have a good week end, and donât give up people , donât give up !
HĂ©! Congratulations!
2 months in your pocket! Thatâs great!!
Any idea how much money you have saved?
Eventually we would! Just have to pass some Norwegians and polar bears first!
Welcome back! Slipping is soooo easy but the important thing is to try and try.
Hope all will go well this time!
Thatâs interesting. What was your coping strategy?
Well done, you managed!
