Thank you so much
Something that has come up for me in therapy recently. Working on how to let go of predicting the future and all the hypothetical problems my brain wants to try and solve. I suppose there is enough to do in the day ahead, no need to add the next 30 years into the mix

I’m here, I’m alive and I’m sober.
Day 142
Talked to the child psychiatric hospital again this morning, they’re contacting us again this afternoon about Tweenie. They said she’s very likely to be Bipolar but she’s ti young to get a real diagnosis. It doesn’t mean that she can’t be, it just means that her papers will say that she’s supposed to be treated as she has, until she’s old enough to get a diagnosis for it.
Another very long talk with her Ma this morning to, and she revealed that tweenie had heard the voices as she says. Ever since she was about 5 years old, but she never told us. Furthermore more there been incidents where tweenie wanted to throw her at the time 1 month old baby brother at her Ma’s house from a high surface just to se how he would look dead. And she’s been running after her sister with a big butcher knife trying to kill her, tried to make another child to drown her and a lot more things like that we didn’t get to know about until now.
I’m seriously worried now. But we’ll see what happens. I’ve got a feeling that the social service is going to move the case to the psychiatric unit. But hopefully there’s something they can help with. Like maybe behavior therapy.
No Sun today, just more snow.
That’s all I had to report for now.
Hope y’all are having a good day.

@MrsOdh That sounds like a lot for a non-professional to deal with. I think it is good to get referral to psychiatric department.
@Girlinterrupted You are a good person to care about him and still want to help him. He is damn lucky.

I honestly never would have believed I’d make it this far. I am grateful I proved myself to be much stronger than I thought! I am Blessed. Have a great day everyone and remember why you’re here!

Wow… just wow @Girlinterrupted
The depth, the spirit, the heeling, the strength, the love, the trust, the growth from your text and your post is truly awe inspiring.
I know I can grow and learn from this for days and years to come. I don’t know your backstory, but it’s clear you’ve been able to find forgiveness and focus on your recovery on what you can do, rather than blaming others. I have a pit of hatred for several circumstances in my life. But that’s not going to help anyone.
Thank you so much for sharing! Selfishly, I needed this more than I can ever express. Sounds like your ex needed it too and so glad you’re able to pick up the phone and find a laugh with him. It’s true the love carries forward, just in a different format. Love doesnt die, it shifts shape.

Congrats on your 180 days!
You’ve got this! I was amazed with how much I slept in my first few days, something was extremely healing in my sleep. I don’t think I ever realized how therapeutic sleep really is rather than just passing out every night.
Happy day 2!

Happy Tuesday, all! Checking in sober, Day 378 - today makes 54 full weeks AF. With the holiday yesterday I had some time to look through my 2020 journal and it is amazing to see how much has changed in the past year+, I’m so not the person I was back then and am at a wholly different place in my heart and in my mind. Sobriety has so been worth the effort! And it is such a joy doing it here surrounded by so many positive people making such amazing strides themselves!
Congrats @Lhasaluv on your 180 Days AF!!! That’s half a year!!
And to you @Soundlab on your Day 2 - early days can be tough and you’re handling yours like a boss!!!
Congrats @Mtrav0040 on Day 6 - 1 Week is within reach!!
And congrats again to @I.cant.We.can on 1 Year!!! I sent well wishes earlier, but a notable milestone likes this deserves repeating!!!
to everyone sober today!!
Have a great day, all!!!

Day 351. Had a good lift session with that kid yesterday, we get along really well. Actually feel like I can be myself around him. Everything is going ok I geuss, still tired sometimes and unsure if the meds are helping. I know I am still much more calm. Excited for my tattoo, I am going to go with the clock tatoo, just my uncle is going to add the charms on the pocket watch, and the girls birthstones on the hands. He’s drawing up the final drawing and I’ll show you all when it’s done.
