216.36ā¦ Struggling with feeling bad for my ex. I know I shouldnāt, but Iām only human. His life just spiraled downward after I left. Heās out of his wheelchair and in a walker now. I called to check up on him yesterday or the day before, canāt remember. Anyway, he was just so broken sounding. He seemed to be cheered up after over an hour of chatting. I just see him not working and living with his mom forever. He has no will to live. I keep feeling like itās my fault for leaving. However, he was incredibly violent and emotionally abusive as well. I donāt know. Logically I know itās not my fault, but my heart aches for him.
Anyway, Iām good friends with his brother whoās coming to my office to hang out today. Heās worried too, so I guess we can pow wow. I donāt know. His brother loves him so much, itās just sad.
Other than that, life is good. Iām halfway to my CCIM (certified commercial investment member) designation. Itās been hard work but Iām loving it!!
Things with my daughterās are great and Iām progressing nicely with therapy. I feel peaceful and content. I love being sober. I love my life. NEVER thought I would ever say that.
Love to you all

love reading this and Iām happy your happy 
, itās a big part of our journey to have compassion for those that have wronged us, although at first it feels foreign to us and going against the grain this is where we find our own peace.

Day 90!
Off this week, which is nice. Thereās been lots of snowy walks, lots of playing his new game (good old popomatic Trouble) and lots of cooking - chocolate cheesecake, and two loaves of bread with my new toy. Snow today but itās the wind that is blowing sideways and hurts your face so weāll stay warm inside. The movers came back home to load some of my parentsā stuff up to ship here, as we canāt travel there with lockdown & the restrictions there. The cost is super expensive but I feel I need some of the memories. Much of it I helped arrange to donate, and some to a new refugee family in the area, so I feel good that it is going to good use, rather than taking time to sell it. I was still very sentimental to hear of it going though. But I decided to move stuff after some of the stuff dear to me was donated. Alas, whatās done is done. No looking back (although, knowing me, I still will slightly stew over it).
Those darn āIām not that badā thoughts sneaking in. A few hints from hubby about New Years drinks. But I wonāt listen. Not today. Iāve come 90 days (again), I donāt want that feeling of zero. Have a lovely day to you all.

Day 474
Back to work today after a week off. Only got 5 hours of sleep. The situation with my daughter is breaking my heart and causing anxiety I donāt have time for. Trying to immerse myself in my God and His scriptures for comfort and guidance. Have no desire to drink and for that Iām truly thankful. Stay sober yāall.
