Glad you checked in and told us. I am also glad you are not joining the army. Not that there’s anything wrong with it. I just don’t think it’s a good time now. But when would be? Probably never. Just my own personal thing. I am happy and we are all bless to have brave men and women that do join the services.
Anyway. Glad you here.
I would have missed all your enthusiasm if you left us.
Let’s GOOOO!!!
:pray:t2::heart:

Everything is smooth for now yea its a no go ill keep trucking i hope your doing great !

We are third culture adults, Fleur. It comes with the territory. Living abroad has a lot of pros, but a lot of cons too. They seem a lot worse when you’re away from family and friends back home for well over a year. My wife is French, so I identify with the in-law situation too. Most of the time life is great, but when things mount up against us, of course it will get us down. We are only human.
You are not an outsider here.

Well that’s not how you are here, you have a very important part to play and your playing it to a tee. Your here, your sober and your helping more than you will ever know. Congrats on those days BTW :grin:

So glad you posted this, WCan. Very helpful for me. I’m sorry you are depressed. You aren’t alone. In general, A LOT of people go thru these winter blues. And pandemic doesn’t help. Thank you for sharing this.

Trying to check in more often about me. Didn’t really feel like it. Good day. Got my workout in. Hate working out. Mopped a couple of floors.
Love my dogs. Living the dream.
Grateful I’m sober. Cuz we’re worth it.

Gratitude will shift you to a higher frequency and you will attract much better things.

Day 1011

In less than 3 hours, 19:30 PST, I am the guest speaker at the rehab center I went through almost 3 years ago. I’m pretty nervous, not because I’m sharing my story but where I’m sharing it at. I’m also the first alumni they have invited into their recovery house so that also adds a little stress to my plate. The last time I was there I was a total wreck have just attempted suicide and was reeling with the side effects of not only my opiate addiction but the total havoc I had caused to those around me. Fortunately I can bring Gunny my PSD not only to help me with my anxiety but to give a little Golden Retriever love to those in the first few days of weeks of their recovery.

NEVER CRAVE ALONE

We :green_heart: you, Fleur. I’ve struggled with the friendship aspect since I moved to a new place, whenever I met up with a new group I felt awkward and like things didn’t gel. It can be an alienating feeling. But I am glad you’re still going to socialize, it’s good to get out of the routine and home.

Fleur, I would have never thought you felt this way after watching how you interact with all of us. All I see is a beautiful, friendly, caring and selfless lady constantly helping others. There’s no doubt you would be missed around here if you disappeared. Stay strong my friend. Sending you a big hug. :hugs: :heart:

Day 130. Hanging on by a thread today. But I’m sober, and I will wake up sober in the morning. That just has to be enough for the day.
