Day 97: The to-do list can eff off today, I’m taking a much needed break. Still managing to get some productive moments in between the lounging, but it’s definitely a day to admire the beautiful white snow from the warm comforts indoors with my feet up and a couple of sweet puppies next to me. Chucho continues to hang in there, and we are trying not to hold our breaths so much. Just breath and be grateful for each day.
@Jdiaz high five on 3 weeks. You’re doing this, getting back to it with renewed energy, I can read it in your words. @Squirt, @Piglet, @Rockstar24777 YOU GUYS ROCK! Well done on a whole half a year. I appreciate your posts and engagement here. @WCan well done on 90! You’re working hard and I want to thank you for all you have shared with us about your journey. @TSan I have been reading your posts this past week and each time I think to myself, I want to sit down and write a longer thoughtful response, but I wish I had just thrown out a “hang in there.” I was thinking about you and sending good vibes your way. I am so glad that you are staying strong (SO strong!) in your sobriety through your challenges. I am sorry that you were left with bad feelings after lashing out at your ex, but I was (and probably others here were) cheering you on. If you got even a tiny bit of release out of that, it was worth it, but I’ve been there a few times and even if it can be justified or rationalized, it just leaves ugly feelings. I hope that you can get those boundaries set with your ex to protect yourself emotionally because you do NOT deserve that or to have to feel that way. Hope you’ve enjoyed your relaxing Sunday as much as I am.
Some of us throw around “sending big hugs” and today I was thinking I should add, “if, you’re into that sort of thing.” The beauty of our virtual community is that we don’t even have to worry about all that nonsense! I’m an awkward hugger, I like them sometimes but rarely know when that time will be. TS is great for people like me Peace out, guys, and I look forward to another week with you all. Triple digits just around the corner…!
So just a quick check in on day 712 cause I should be more involved with the meeting that I’m sitting in and the message is strong today. I’m just glad that we still have an in person meeting everyday. Have a blessed day/night everyone
Day off today, gonna do some dusting, go to the children’s support centre for a regular chat about my son’s progress, and meet a friend for a cup of tea. Was looking for some baking materials yesterday, and in my local supermarket those are right next to the booze. I usually feel a bit uncomfortable somehow walking through the aisle, but yesterday I breezed through. I guess men walking through the sanitary protection goods aisle feel the same, those items are just not for me.
Lol thanks man. Yeah I’m doing step 8 just figuring out my ammends and been honestly pretty depressed still since doing my 4th and 5th. Idk I’m just doing what I can. This weather is very hard for me, no sun and always grey.
bc of work commitments my sponsor and me haven’t had time to catch up as much as we want to so I’m stuck waiting to do step 5 but I have to admit that when I started step 4 it definitely knocked the wind out of my sails for quite a while, the flip side of that is I’ve since been in a position to help others already with what I have learnt to date and the feeling you get when you see other people do well out weighs any thoughts of myself. It’s hard to explain bc it doesn’t Stoke my ego at all it’s just a warm feeling for others. I got excited for you ages ago when I first read you were doing the steps. Proud of you brother.
I just did the same recently because my favorite AF ginger beer is in the liquor section of the store. I had been avoiding the area at all costs, which isn’t hard because it’s totally separate. I didn’t feel much really. Just sort of remarked to myself how I used to feel a rush going in there and how much I time I wasted being wasted.
Peace out, guys, and I look forward to another week with you all. Triple digits just around the corner…!
