30 days today! Was a little irritated yesterday. Maybe pending this upcoming milestone? Maybe just a feeling humans feel sometimes? It beats being drunk or hungover which were my only 2 feelings before.

Oh, goodness, my sweet friend, I am so very sorry to hear of Mr. Chucho’s passing. My heart breaks for you, but you are right, he is at peace. What a lucky boy he was to have a human who loved him fiercely to the end. I don’t know if you believe in the doggy afterlife, but if you do, I can assure you my Loki will be there to greet him, and to play & chase things together, and to tell each other how great their mamas were, how deeply we loved them, and what great snacks they got from us. Sending you big mahoosive hugs. Xo

Wow! What a dream! Fortunately a cow skull is a symbol of protection and your spirituality… And your fear is of the unknown… I believe you are being protected from yourself- keep the path you’re doing great! :grinning: :v:t3:

Day 32… doing well at keeping myself busy, but finding myself feeling a little panicky when I’m alone. Which is not usual for me. I was very productive yesterday so I think today is going to have to be recharge day.
Just feeling meh- and burnt out I guess.
But I am not drinking, and for today, that’s just going to have to be enough. :slightly_smiling_face:
@RosaCanDo , I am so very sorry for the loss of your baby. I hope you and yours find peace and comfort. :white_heart:

I’m here, I’m alive and I’m sober.
Day 134

My head hurts, last presentation in this course done. Exam done and handed in.

Tweenie started a huge fight this morning, and I mean fight as in hitting, screaming and acting out. Because she wanted to go to school in a top that showed not just a little to much, in fact almost everything. And she also wanted to leave so she would be there About 40 mins before school starts. We know they aren’t allowed in until 10 mins before start.

When she finally got to school correctly dressed and at an appropriate time. We called her teacher and informed her about this morning, and everything that’s happened during the winter break. The teacher informed us that she won’t be allowed to have her school computer because they’ve detected inappropriate behavior online on that one too.

So we called the child psychiatric hospital, and they said they can’t do anything. They can’t help her because she doesn’t even want to try herself. And they can’t give her meds either because there’s no medication in the world that would help unless she is willing to work with her behavior. They Adressed it to the social service and recommended a locked facility with people that can watch over her 24/7 because she needs professional help. There’s nothing we can do, we already did all we can do, and they have too.

So we called the social service, who started an emergency case file, and recommended a locked facility with people 24/7. Because as for now, no one else can do anything for her.

The social service is getting back in contact tomorrow or Wednesday.

Once again my head hurts.

Oh Hon, I am so sorry you have to be going through this. I’m frustrated with the “system” just reading your post. How many teenagers are going to admit they have a problem never mind ask for help. I pray that somewhere they have their shit together and can help you out of this situation. You have offered your heart and home to your stepdaughter and seem to be getting the shitty end of it. I’m so impressed that you’re going through this all sober. Hugs girl

Thank you dear. I think they kind off means that they can’t do anything if she ain’t even willing to take the help offered. She had been to a lot of psychiatrists and never said a word. She’s been working on expressing her feelings in a lot of ways, but just as with the conversations with her parents she jad lately she just jeers and doesn’t care. I didn’t know all that until the child psychiatrists told us today. We still don’t have access to all the information because of the custody issue. And we probably never will. But yes it’s kinda frustrating, that no one seems to be able to do anything to help.

Day 23. I have been having mood swings and insomnia, but I guess that is normal. I woke up early - before dawn. Went for a morning walk. I have been pushing myself. It feels great. Am I getting addicted to exercise? Am I substituting one addiction for another?


I have been doing bodyweight exercises and climbing stairs too. I climbed 30 flights of stairs today. Am I overdoing it?

Hopefully she can find someone that she clicks with and feels they care about her. If things don’t change in my lil family I will be seeking a therapist for a 9-year old. Aside from the tweenie receiving help what about you? Do you have someone you can debrief and vent with that is removed from the situation? I personally believe this is so important.
