Checking in on day 22, missed checking in yesterday , things have been hectic lately and I feel like my head is ready to explode , overthinking and really need to slow things down and breathe. Iāve not had time for reading which is usually my quiet time . I need to learn to make time for myself instead of doing things for everyone else. Anyhow still sober so canāt grumble

You and your daughter are to good to be treated this way. 
. Know that and itās great to see you own itā:clap:
I am desperately sorry to hear this, Fil. I donāt know what else to say. I hope that the prognosis is good and that your wife makes a full recovery. As you say, being sober will undoubtedly help you to help her. Take care.

I just want to take the time to let you know that someone is thinking about your wife, and about your sobriety. Somewhere it is written The Lord said "When you look in the sand you only see one set of footprints.This is because Iām carrying you! Well we must say he has a heavy load right now but thatās okay. He died on a cross for us he will carry us. . It is in times like this that you ask for strength, to be strong for you and for her. My mother suffered through breast cancer 7 years before she passed away. She did not pass away from breast cancerā¦ She was so strong. She did radiation and put out a garden the same spring. We could not believe it. People are amazing when they are going through life altering situations such as chemotherapy and radiation. Sometimes, when being around the sick, I think āhow can this person possibly be sick?ā They have the will & power of Jobe. They will give you strength in places you have never had strength, when your trying to give it to them. So donāt be down, donāt be sad, be an uplifting spirit for her. She will need it. Allow her to be happy, She will need that, But There will come a time when she, will also need somewhere to rest her head. On your shoulder, to cry sometimes, and thereās going to be that time she needs to cry alone, allow that. Remember sheās scared and new at this just like youā¦ Let her feel helpless, sad, and happy, and remember your going to need lots of support, while sheās getting treatment, hospital are a great source for meeting, finding out about AA, NA etcā¦ also. Al-Anon which may help you understand what sheās going though, understand you and it may help her. Oh and it will help you understand her cancer donāt be afraid to ask questions. And always answer them with honesty. Just a few suggestions you donāt have to take none of this you can take it with just a grain of salt. The things I tell you here are with my heart and care. Iām very experienced in the cancer situation, thereās a lot of cancer in my family. My mother died eventually, pass away but not from breast cancer, it was from lung cancer advanced stage 4. We found out 6 days before she died. She was a very strong woman, We found out on a Wednesday evening in the ER she died the following Monday morning. The morning after she found out she looked at us and she says āI donāt want to see nobody cry! Iām the one dying,and Iām not crying!ā it was the hardest thing we all had to do. Believe me we all went in and out of the hospital room crying not to cry in front of her. What I learned in those 5 days, I couldnāt have learned and didnāt learn in 53 yrs. I learned that our parents, loved ones are so much moreā¦ that they are whothey are because of the generation before them, and it the same w/ grand parents, etc. Stop and really listen to the person your with. Anywayā¦ Sorry what I am saying is take time now to know each other, remember shedont know addiction other than living with it and you donāt know her w cancer. Iām praying for you both and good luck Remember Iām here if you need someone to talk to

@liv_m happy sober birthday 
@anon74766472 @M-be-free49 thank you both 
329 days no alcohol.
297 days no cocaine.
23 days no binge-eating.
I woke up thinking it was Sunday, so I did my weekend eating plan, then half way through the day I realised it wasnāt, so instead of having exercise at 12:30pm I had it at 14:30 
Iāve managed to make it work though, and as usual Iām so glad I made myself go, very nearly didnāt.
This morning was strange, I couldnāt nap, I didnāt feel like reading or being on my phone, so I finally watched a movie for the first time in months, I havenāt been able to sit and watch a whole movie in years, let alone without snacks, so Iām proud of that and I really enjoyed it, have had 2 more movies recommended to me too so Iām planning to watch those this week too
