Have a great day. Or evening.

At first, I’ll be honest with ya. I wasn’t sure how I felt about you posting that pic. But the reality is, that’s what addiction can and does do to people. I think I will pray that maybe that pic could save maybe one us. (Hopefully more) And it will be worth the post. Thanks for sharing that.
God Bless you.
:pray:t2::heart:
And I can totally relate to those kind of dreams. I’ve had 2 of them in my life. Pretty fucking cool. It’s more than just a dream.

🥲 its okay i really thank you for the kind words if anything the memories have strengthen my walk in this journey to stand even stronger and braver then i could ever imagine in my fight against our DOC :pray:

Honestly i was thinking the same thing i wasnt sure if i should upload it or not but the same thought came to my mind that it could help someone out and show a reality of what can happen if we continue to give in :pray:
100 percent agree i know it was him it was awesome and comforting :heart:

I really like it @anon60334405 but without the bottle and razor. You’ll get too many questions from people even if they’re faded. Without that stuff, it could mean you’re rising above anything in life not just drugs and alcohol. Agree, smaller hands too.

@Sanuk congrats on 2 weeks :tada:
@DrkniteNZ congrats on 2 years :tada::star2:
@manishc congrats on 30 days :tada:
@anon60334405 I really like the concept, but I agree the hands should be smaller and the writing all together at the bottom, and I think you’re right to consider not having the bottle or drug paraphernalia at all because you already know what the tattoo signifies, I think it’s a really powerful piece with just the hands :star_struck:

161 days no alcohol.
129 days no cocaine.

Been a peaceful day today, my weekend of de-steessing seems to be having a lasting effect, and letting go of the things I can’t control.

I am working on accepting that I’m powerless over junk food and need to cut it out completely, not quite there yet, but I’m trying every day.

@Truckinmonster21. Oh man, thank you for sharing. I can tell he plays a big part in your life. Sorry for your loss💙. Proud of you for stepping into a place to be the difference. Not only do you need it, but your family needs to see that it doesn’t need to be the outcome.

I’m sorry for your loss. But am glad you’re feeling great. :hugs:

My dad passed away in May last year, and every now and then I have dreams about him. It’s a bit hard though, when I wake up, because it was just a dream and he is not here anymore. But it’s like my friend says to me, that I get to experience time with him in my dreams now that he’s gone. I’m glad that your uncle reached out to you in your dream. Have a great sober day!

hi, checking in today to vent a bit. I’m really pissed, because my husband was drunk when he came home 1,5 hours after he said he would be back with lunch. hot lunch. not icecold. a lot to do in the afternoon. well, not for him, HE was snorring. argh, i become so angry with this f*#@$ behaviour, I’m pissed to the high water mark.
well, tomorrow is another day and I just grab a book and go to bed. before I put a plate on his head. With oomph :grimacing:

Thank you everyone who sent me hugs and strength. I definitely needed it.

New outburst from tweenie just a few minutes ago, today she decided to throw things at me and the boys. Luckily nothing hard or big enough to actually cause big harm, but that was because it wasn’t anything like that close to her.

I’m sad to admit it, but this is it. We’re going to the social service meeting tomorrow , and she definitely needs all the help she can get and a lot of it. And a place to call home, but she can’t stay here. No one did anything to her, we just got home, walked in the door and she flipped when I told her that she needs to wear a reflex next time we go out when it’s dark. (to road we needs to walk on, have no street lights, speed limit 70km/h and has a lot of traffic) and she totally lost it.

We called her mother again, and they said she can’t live with them because she’ll cause to much harm to thw other children. And as I just wrote she can’t stay here either. I don’t want the boys to live in fear of her. And I definitely don’t want to risk that someone actually gets hurt for real next time she flips.

We’ll see what the social service says tomorrow. I’m going to speak my mind and tell them about today anyway. And we’ll see.
