I know itās easy to say, but this too shall pass.
Whenever I find myself in a dire situation, I just think about a time in life when everything was great. The only difference between now and then is the passing of time.
This. Too. Shall. Pass.
Veel succes Claartje!
I am feeling new growth today after a session with my counsellor yesterday: he suggested I take time to sit with my fear (my fear of failure, my fear of not being good enough). Set a timer, 5 minutes, and sit with the emotion, face it, no running.
It feels good, like fog lifting; like a weight is gone and I can stand, balanced, independent. Hereās to fear, and seeing it, facing it, one day at a time.
Day 344
Talked to my sponsor for the first time in three weeks. Afterwards felt more focused and close to my path in sobriety. It doesnāt have to be an AA sponsor: a counsellor, a peer, anyone, but someone who āgetsā it and is there for you to be accountable to and talk things through with is great (even if we just rehash things we both already know really, that recommitment is useful).
Thank you very much Marie!
Good morning friends, day 249! Still no internet at home and getting frustrated with it. I was able to work from Emilyās house yesterday, but the techs are coming to my house this morning and I need to be here. I can use my work or personal phones for a Hotspot, but the performance is crappy and connection intermittent.
Have an awesome day! I am going to do mine sober!
Iām in a similar state, taming overwhelming fear (of the decision Iām about to execute). For me the breakthrough was realizing that no matter how strong the fear is, it doesnāt mean that it has any grounds. It doesnāt mean that I failed or Iām heading into the wrong direction. Itās not a sign, that somethingās wrong. The fear itself is a completely different thing than reality. Itās totally natural. I donāt have to overcome it and weigh it down, that would cause an abnormal situation. And I shouldnāt hand the control over to it either. Iām terrified, but I live my life regardless of it, because itās a feeling, no more, no less, and I decide wheather it has an effect on me or not.
Day 340
Have a nice day everyone
Just plodding alongā¦.
Happy Hump Day, if you work M-F.
Happy Wednesday if you donāt work.
Everyone else: Have a lovely day!
Hey all, checking in on morning 402 of no hangovers. Have a good one!
Day 1 . No comments. I feel hurt and disappointed again with myself
Checking in for my front porch 5 years 27 days. With my espresso and my dogs. Waking up this morning to one of the most beautiful views that you could be thankful for. Very little pain, no pain pills yet today which is awesome, God, has sent me this little creature on my front porch this morning, where he came from only God, knows and the person who dropped him off for some cruel reason. I guess heās ours now. One more cat will not make a difference=4. I guess itās that time of the year. We will name him Wilbert.
Hope everybody has a wonderful blessed day and I hope all your wishes and dreams come true. I love you all! and Iām thankful that you are here.
I love this. Thx Tomek - wise words
