Thank you Dazercat… it was nice to wake up this morning to this message. I really appreciate the support and encouragement. I am apprehensive about how things will go today but I’m trying to remind myself to have an open mind and not hold on to any set expectation of results. I’m spending some time clarifying what I need to say beforehand so I’m prepared to share my feelings and experiences. Glad to know I’ve got the support of you and others here

I am so happy you are starting to feel some freedom from the chains of depression. We can become stuck so easily and finding the way out can feel impossible. The alps are amazing and it sounds like you had a very spiritual experience there with your loved ones. It’s what we need… to fill our spirits after they have been sucked dry from addiction.
Glad to see you checking in.

Day 425 clean and sober today. I have today and tomorrow off so I’m just going to relax. Yesterday was the completion of my third week at the new job and it’s flown by. No physical pain, no more coming home covered in dirt. I’ve finally found a career where I don’t have to do that anymore. I had many years doing physical work (23 + years as a plumber) and I loved it but now this is the beginning of a new life. Have a great day everyone, love you guys!!!

I had to be taught how to share my feelings. You’re already a head of the game. One thing I did learn was to start your sentences with:
I feel………. it was so hard for me to learn this. Maybe because I had a lot of resentments built up and I came across as accusing. Remember your feelings are always valid.
I feel………

Checking in at 18 days sober.
Not feeling well today. In fact, feeling hungover. Headache, nauseated, dizzy, foggy, struggling to string coherent sentences together, heart racing, low energy, etc, etc, etc. This feels very unfair.

One year off soma.
Been so so busy dealing with all the “what the hell is this” that life has been throwing down on me that I missed the actual one year mark.
Since my addictions are based in trying to escape the pain of the chaos in the world, starting with a dark and lonely childhood, and right now I’m going through chaos that is far more than I would have checked out for in the past, I’ll leave a quote from one of my favorite stoic writers to celebrate.
“To be like the rock that the waves keep crashing over.
It stands unmoved and the raging of the sea falls still around it.
It’s unfortunate that this has happened.
No.
It’s fortunate that this has happened and I’ve remained unharmed by it - not shattered by the present or frightened of the future.
It could have happened to anyone.
But not everyone could have remained unharmed by it.
Why treat the one as a misfortune rather than the other as fortunate? Can you really call something a misfortune that doesn’t violate human nature? Or do you think something that’s not against nature’s will can violate it? But you know what its will is.
Does what’s happened keep you from acting with justice, generosity, self - control, sanity, prudence, honesty, humility, straightforwardness, and all the other qualities that allow a person’s nature to fulfill itself? So remember this principle when something threatens to cause you pain: the thing itself was no misfortune at all; to endure it and prevail is great good fortune.”
Marcus Aurelius
