Youāre a great mom and a beautiful person.
The saying of āthrowing stonesā came to mind; stand tall and proud, my dear.
All is well with you.

- No time to properly read all your stuff, let alone react. Just a quick check in as Iām meeting my bestie for coffee in ten minutes. Therapy group to go to later. Iām sober and clean and Iām feeling pretty good. Hope you all are friends. Have as good a day as you all can. Love from Amsterdam and my hike two days ago.

Oh yeah pneumonia is terrible. What do they do for a collapsed lung? That in itself sounds very painful brother!
Yes I agree it as to be a active process in our mind and physically in our body if we get lazy we start to feel we have it beat and when that happens we get overconfident that we dont need anyone to help us. A bad saying I think is I GOT THIS. Its WE GOT THIS and even than that is dangerous. Itās a active disease and we have to treat it as such.

It sure has been an interesting couple of days. On Tuesday I got halfway to the office and realized I forgot my damn keys. Ugh! I walk as itās only a few blocks away. So, after grabbing my keys I get back in the elevator to head back out to work. Fucking thing drops (Iām on the 17th floor) I nearly shit my pants. I could tell it didnāt drop far, but now Iām dangling in this death box. I was stuck a while with some additional scares, but long story short so as to not keep you all in suspense, I made it out alive I hate Tuesdayās lol.
Anyway, I had to fire a guy thatās been with me for just about three years yesterday morning. I love him like a son. This is just not the right career choice for him. For those who remember, I have an attachment disorder, so Iām really proud of myself for doing this. Itās easy to let emotions skew your view of the truth. I will miss him very much, but Iām sure heāll keep in touch.
Have a great Friday Eve to all the Thursday peeps, and happy Friday to the other side of the globe

Yes, youāre right, although I havenāt got overconfident, to the contrary I feel that Iām losing it. Being active in sobriety gave me confident and some kind of a secure feeling, now I just go with the flow and itās scary.

We all did! my first thought was that Franzi @anon74766472 makes very sloppy looking cupcakes, but maybe theyāre very nice tasting

Good morning! Iām not normally a ālook at me, I did itā kind of person- but- look at me, I did it!
Holding strong! Iāve spent lots of time really thinking these past 3 monthsā¦ I have a lot of things I need to work through still, but I am so unbelievably happy and grateful that I did this for myself. Iām not ever going back if I can help it!

@Mno and @Girlinterrupted, you can all be sure and safe that there wonāt be any cupcakes from me here. I would have to Google what, how, what for. If I wouldnāt avoid meat for some reasons, I would always prefer a good old steak. So, thank you, now I am hungry and I need to go to court in an hour

Bear with meā¦ I am attempting to say this in a relatable manner, but know that you are feeling raw from the experience.
- You rocked the party, bask in all the glory you feel. Today no one mattered but your daughter and damn if she doesnāt know this.
- You give wayyy to much power away my friend, and focus too much on what others feel or make you feel vs how you make yourself feel (this is the bear with me part, I am channelling how I have felt in hopes that it is relatable, but fully acknowledge I know shit about your world).
I will speak as a mom and what I have experienced being a mom specifically. Our society fucking sucks. The judgmental treatment and expectations that both sexes put on moms are ridiculous. Let me repeat Ridiculous . You are judged for breast feeding or not breast feeding and god forbid you do it or donāt do it in public . For working and setting a strong example or for working and being judged you didnāt stay home with them. For staying up late doing homework instead of hiring a tutorā¦ It all kinds of messed up. Now, let add our addictions and them becoming known and it adds a whole layer. Regardless, of what you feel like you did or did not do to others, regardless of how much you want to be forgiven and accepted, there are people in this world we just have to let the fuck go because no matter what they will judge.
You donāt need that and you dont need those who canāt step up and just stand by your side.
You Rocked your daughters worldā¦ she will always remember that, YOU are her hero. And the only reason you were able to make this happen was because you started caring for yourself and what you want your future to be. Donāt let judgmental asshats bring you down, they donāt deserve your energy, thoughts or power.
I would stand by you mamaā¦ help you clean up the mess after the party. And there are others who would to. Find them and let those who choose differently have their own path.
ALL my own opinion, I donāt speak for all mamas out there just this one
