hey there, not sure whether you are the yoga loving kind :wink: but read your post. was doing some searching yesterday to theme my classes for the week. and based on what I needed with also a problematic relation with foodā€¦ (those who teach learn right?)
Base chakraā€™s. related to safety and thereby also food, think there is also a video included.
Hang in there!

I am pretty agnostic, no belief in the afterlife, but I and my son both dreamed about my dead mother last night. She was quite a toxic parent, lied about who my father was and had problem drinking herself, but I have come a long way in understanding she was just a fucked up person doing her best. Usually my dreams about her are scary and angry, but this one was calm and full of forgiveness, and in my sonā€™s she stopped a nightmare by clapping her hands.

  1. Coffee. Not to keen on working today. Thinking about the 60% bonus I get for working Sundays makes it slightly better. Knowing Iā€™m sober and clean too. Iā€™m not forgetting about waking up super tired with my head buzzing and aching, still slightly drunk, mouth dry, tongue like leather, body heavy and uncoordinated, nauseated, constipated or diarrhoeated, and all the other effects from alcohol still in my body. Never again! Life may not be easier this way but getting out of bed certainly is. Have as good a day as you all can. Clean and sober. Love from Amsterdam. Pic is in the park after work yesterday. Thanks @Apes. I like to make them. Makes me look at my surroundings.

    @Misokatsu Thatā€™s really special Flo. A beautiful shared memory and experience between the two of you.

Day 41. I did a ton of work around the house. Weā€™ve become borderline pack rats so we cleared a bunch of stuff out and it feels awesome to get rid of old crap!

Itā€™s Saturday night, I havenā€™t thought of drinking at allā€¦but Iā€™ve been working super hard to stay busy, and educating myself on alcoholism and all the bad shit that goes with it. It helpsā€¦ if anyone is struggling today, Google negative things about your addiction, hit an AA/NA meeting (there are tons online now), or clean up your neglected messes in your house. It totally has helped me.

Have a good evening everyone :blush:.

Woke up at 5 in a nightmare while I was on the phone calling the policeā€¦ hahaha. I believed it was real so tried to go back to sleep to wait for the police to answer.
I was at the cemetery to visit my mom and saw people from the inside digging themselves out of the grave. (all my relatives that have passed) Weird and of course could not get back to sleep.
Now realising it is my moms birthday. She passed this month 20 years ago. For those who know my face through the meetings. I was her copy. (funny how facebook reminds you of all you try to push away :wink:

Glad to be teaching again today. so bike ride, yin yoga and meditation to calm the sense.
dazzled but sober.
have a good 24 all :heart:

  1. Doing slightly better.

Thank you all for being always there when I need to be heard or read. Maybe itā€™s really as easy as this: just for today I am alive. Nothing more matters. No other big things have to be accomplished today. Almond milk is being made. Coffee or two I will drink.

I have some issues with my sugar but okay then. I give my best and even when others can handle way better, keeping the numbers in a range that prevent me from kidney or capillary damage, its okay. I donā€™t have to aim for numbers of ppl w/o diabetes.

Have a good day, night, sleep, wherever you are. :sunflower::pray:

@Squirt congratulations on 200 really enjoying your posts, thank you
@anon60334405 way to go on your 11 months ā€¦ glad your sticking with it and sounds like you are finding some balance
@MrsOdh good for you staying strong, that easter deadline is a big big move to announce please work as hard as you can until then so if you have to go through with it youā€™ll have no regrets
@Fury man i feel you, its a hard thing when your roommates or close family or friends get taken back down, keep talking about it, careful feeling responsible like you could have stopped them, I felt the same way back in august and i came real close to slipping back in too. praying for you and your friend
