101 days.

Today started a bit stressfully, I spent 2 hours with phonecalls trying to sort my meds out as they werenā€™t at the pharmacy when I went to get them at the weekend, hopefully theyā€™ll be ready to collect tomorrow as I run out tonight :pray:t2:

Spent the morning watching some Homeland, I really do like it. Then a few hours of reading to finish the sobriety book Iā€™ve been reading. 365 reminders of the joys sobriety can bring so Iā€™m saving that one :grin:

Starting to feel a little anxious about spending Xmas afternoon with my Dad and step family, things have been like a rollercoaster since my Dad met his now wife, so I have conflicting feelings sometimes. It will also be the longest time Iā€™ve spent with them since last Xmas. Iā€™m sure all will be well, it canā€™t be any worse than last year when I was in deep active addiction hell anyhow! Iā€™m going to offer to help cook so that will stop me from sitting there feeling anxious or being told Iā€™m too quiet.

Responsibility and moderation is mindfullness and I canā€™t take a break from that without feeling myself being destructive.

Itā€™s interesting, because i see a paradox in that sentenceā€¦ Because being responsible and moderative implies taking a break. Responsibility, moderation and mindfulness does not just apply to some behaviours you want to do or not to do. Responsibility, moderation and mindfulness apply to themselves also!

We are responsable until a certain point, because we have limits. We moderate what we can moderate, when we can moderate, because thatā€™s what moderation is: not all-in/all-out all the time, but sometimes all in, some times all out, some times somewhere in the middle of this - but surely there is no one ā€œsweet spotā€ of moderation we have to be on all the time. Mindfulness is to intentionally take things as they come and just be with them. Itā€™s the core of mindfulness to accept the fact that things are just there anyways - therefore the concept of mindfulness itself too.

It might be a slight ā€œtwistā€ that I am pointing at right now, but for me this was a game changer. The values I am pursuing arenā€™t just outside of me in some action, some virtual routines and life style I have to work on everyday; itā€™s mostly an inside quest, a search for meaning from within myself, a never settle-in puzzle. We have to beware of this perfectionist idea that we will one day reach the full values weā€™re looking for - like responsibility, moderation and mindfulness - because itā€™s while we try to find them that we are actually living themā€¦

Well someones was on my side todayā€¦ Get to hospital this morning been prepped for surgery and because I dont have anyone looking after me and they donā€™t have a bed for me I didnā€™t get the operationā€¦ When I do have the op its most likely Iā€™ll be for over a weekā€¦fuck that shit not with covid about NO-UH!!!
