I have so many questions, LOL
The sun rises, the sun sets. And in between are the events I will experience in sobrietyā¦keep moving forwardā¦
Itās definitely therapy and itās free, I didnāt really see the point but just like my ideas about how I could stop drinking whenever I want, I was wrong again. 200 days sober and I only had to spend a few hours digging up the past, now itās all about the future taking it one day at a time
This book has helped me so much to understand ADHD.
My daughters dad has ADHD and according to the book it can be genetic but it also stems from his parents fighting so much while growing up (his parents are terrible).
When he is stressed or just certain times in general when he is busy, he is like a bat in a glass cage just hitting the walls unable to get out. I learned how important self care is for his ADHD like making sure he takes a shower, excersizes, and eats healthy foods. Medication helps too but currently he isnāt on any medication (and is on day 4 quitting weed) he has been so manic lately.
Anyway this book helped me understand a lot and have compassion for him. Lots of good information. Also, there is an audio version.
itās great to be part of this event with you today, might be worth doing it again tomorrow if we enjoy it enough
I totally respect that
300 days IS a beautiful number!! Well done!
Day 2. Just been for a socially distanced lunchtime bbq in rainy UK. Everyone drank tea or fruit juice. Apart from my Father who turned up with a bottle or wine and four cans of cider. If heās not an advert for staying sober I donāt know what is
This made me lol; I can picture it!
Just another person with another congratulations, never gets boring does it Proud of you, enjoy your day
Stay sober long enough and maybe youāll become the inspiration he needs to put the bottle down, then again maybe not but congratulations on your day 2 bc TBH thatās the only thing that is important right now not what everyone else is doing.
Day 215: Feeling a lot more peaceful than I did most of last week. There really feels like thereās some stress energy in my different worlds and man, do I feel it in my core. I declare today is take-a-damn-breath day! And take a break from my phone and internet, too. Wish me luck with that! Gonna spend some time in the kitchen, hopefully tidy my zen den (itās not very zen at the moment), and call my mom. Hope you all have a successful sober Saturday. Much love
@Piglet congrats on 300 days

@RosaCanDo good luck with the technology downtime
243 days / 8 months no alcohol.
211 days no cocaine.
Feeling really peaceful in this moment. Had a very productive day before doing my meditations then coming here. Packed 9 boxes of stuff from my kitchen! Still another 2 cupboards to go but most of that is items that are in their own boxes already so Iāll finish that off tomorrow with any other random bits Iāve missed along the way. It feels good to be nearing the end of this side of the moving mission.
One week today it will be 25 years since my mum passed away. I am trying to pay close attention to how Iām feeling and what Iām thinking because in a few days time it will be the anniversary of my relapse. I donāt feel at risk of repeating the same mistake but Iām being cautious because I know how deceiving it can be and how impulsive I can be.
Itās so nice when itās the weekend and I havenāt got the anxiety of waiting for an email to come through saying weāve exchanged, as much as it canāt come soon enough, the anxiety during weekdays is very suffocating at times. Itās a relief to feel some calm.
Thank you @CATMANCAM I appreciate that and I will be keeping you in my prayers this week. Have an awesome weekend!
Yayā¦ Congrats on a year sober, keep on trucking ODAAT!
Blessings and sobriety!
