Hi guys checking in today it’s been a kinda low weekend so far I think it’s the cold weather that is keeping me inside. Cabin fever? I have been feeling more emotional than usual lots of empathetic feelings for a lot of the posts I have been reading here lately. I’m going to hold that as a positive thing tho, because just a few months ago I’d just suppress my emotions and drink. No more of that crap for me! Everyone happy valintines to you! This is what I will do today

Bye for now…

Day 230.
It’s early in the day for me to post, but wanted to catch you all early. If this thread was a classroom? And we each had decorated shoe boxes as mailboxes to hold the valentines from our classmates? I’d be putting some seriously homemade, lumpy glue (still wet), construction paper and crayon (evidence of effort!), crafted-with-love valentines in each o’ your mailboxes!
No can do. So here’s this instead:

It’s a great day to feel loved, and to send it out too. And to be sober. Let’s go get another day.

Your post about Valentines at school @M-be-free49 reminded me of a conversation we had at work this past week. The schools around here had the kids bring them in 2 weeks ago so they could quarantine them. It’s bad enough that we as people need to isolate but isolating valentine cards is going overboard.

Relapsed last night. I opened a bottle of wine and drank 3/4 of it. Feel lousy and I’m sorry to you all. Feel I’ve let myself down and others on here. But I know this is my own journey. I overslept therapy as I’d been working so hard all week. But I will have to do some journaling and thinking how I want to go forward and how I want to commit. Just tidied the house, did my errands and did some yoga. But I still feel that my skin and stomach is screaming POISON. Working again now but will
Wind down later and keep forgiving myself and trying. I feel sick. Love to you all for a positive and happy week xxx the same trigger again was that my bfs flatmate couldn’t find any alcohol free beers so I just went FUCK IT I want wine I’ve worked 12 hours a day all week. I need another reward system. I also love how wine makes me feel confident in sex. It makes some parts less painful. I feel like this is something women need to talk about more. Heretosex can be uncomfortable. There are parts of sex that are difficult and easier when you’re drunk. I wish this wasn’t my truth. Anyway! Sending you restful sundays and hope I can still check in here as I work out how I try and proceed.

Day 377. Did a 4 mile jog, little bit of weights. I’m thinking I need to ask for my straterra increased, I’m getting anxious towards my girls again when they get to loud my mind isn’t knowing how to keep up with it and gets irritable. Getting a little short tempered, finding myself having a hard time thinking of things to do and getting motivated with them. I’m starting replay things over and over in my head again which I haven’t done in a while.
And obviously I suck at talking to girls, bc it’s been two days now and the girl I messaged hasn’t said anything back. Which is fine, just makes me feel like I say something wrong, maybe I’m sending to long of paragraphs, or just not saying things interesting. Idk, I know if I would of been drunk I would of continued to blow her up, now I’m able to just move on and learn if they don’t say anything the aren’t interested. And we’ll that’s how it goes i geuss, I’ll figure it out some day. Much love I geuss have a good day friends
