- Checking-in/out
I’m super exhausted today. I think I’m starting to get a flare up. It’s 7:30 here in Michigan and I’m already in bed. I have so much on my mind. But I’m too tired to write it all down right now. Tomorrow is a busy day. I have a meeting at my sons school about his remote classes. Pray for me so I can keep my cool with the principal whom I’ve had a couple confrontations with about my 2 older children when they were in the same school. Have a good night all!

Wow … 1,145 days. That number is enormous. Great job. I’m at 92. Seems so paltry in comparison. One day I’ll be there, although it seems impossible to be honest.

Thanks. Haven’t heard yet. I’ll call tomorrow afternoon and see what’s going on. They said it would be two or three weeks, but I figured I would have heard something by now about a definite date. Today was ok. Spent most of it working. Takes my mind off of things, which is good. But now it’s nighttime, which is my absolute worst time. About to go to bed. Hopefully I can just sleep and not be miserable.

Relaxing Sunday. It was restorative in so many ways. I rested after a 10k+ ski with a good friend yesterday.
I had one of the best talks with my spouse this morning. I can’t recall better since we got together. I had been approaching the subject so poorly before that it made communication impossible. This time it flowed without effort or planning.
I then scrambled to get my son to a sledding party with members of our congregation and had a great time mingling in conversations with the parents.
Then made coconut curry chicken for dinner.
I adulted real good today.

Hey D,
Yeah I posted in another thread, it’s been a good week, a lot better than I could have ever expected, yet I hit this milestone, I’m really excited for a sober baby 9 months, and a year.
Congrats on your progress as well! Your doing great!!

I think the direction/ causality of this stuff isn’t so straightforward. Yes, doing good things makes us feel better to a point. But also sometimes feeling better makes it easier to do good things.
I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect we can always just productive ourself into a good frame of mind, or even whether that’s desirable. It’s finding that balance isn’t it, between accepting and being kind to yourself and not wallowing/ perpetuating unhealthy cycles. But also remembering that there probably isn’t one right answer (annoyingly IMO, ha), we just gotta find the next right thing and be kind to ourselves while we do that.

- Had a good weekend, did 2 great bike rides, met my bestie, the sun was shining, I felt alive. There was no alcohol or drugs in sight for me even though there were a lot of people about having beer and wine in the streets, the bars and terraces still closed under lockdown and people getting very tired of it all it seems. I am too but that’s not reason to get back to stupid boozing and drugging. Sober and clean is the way to be for me. And for you all or you wouldn’t be here. Have as good a week as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love from Amsterdam.
