I know itā€™s 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. Hereā€™s to fear, and seeing it, facing it, one day at a time. :innocent:

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 doesnā€™t have to be an AA sponsor: a counsellor, a peer, anyone, but someone who ā€œgetsā€ 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).

Good morning friends, day 249! Still no internet at home and getting frustrated with it. I was able to work from Emilyā€™s 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. :frowning:

Have an awesome day! I am going to do mine sober!

Iā€™m in a similar state, taming overwhelming fear (of the decision Iā€™m about to execute). For me the breakthrough was realizing that no matter how strong the fear is, it doesnā€™t mean that it has any grounds. It doesnā€™t mean that I failed or Iā€™m heading into the wrong direction. Itā€™s not a sign, that somethingā€™s wrong. The fear itself is a completely different thing than reality. Itā€™s totally natural. I donā€™t have to overcome it and weigh it down, that would cause an abnormal situation. And I shouldnā€™t hand the control over to it either. Iā€™m terrified, but I live my life regardless of it, because itā€™s a feeling, no more, no less, and I decide wheather it has an effect on me or not.

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 heā€™s ours now. One more cat will not make a difference=4. I guess itā€™s 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 Iā€™m thankful that you are here.
