Day 94 ā€¦ Friday a great friend of mine who I look up to in recovery 2 years sober relapsed and died and few days before he messaged me saying congrats on my 90 days and that he fucked up and told me to remember how we are all in thr same warā€¦ also my ex gf who I was in love with but didnā€™t kno how to love myself or love her fb officially in New relationship lol . I shouldnā€™t of been creepin but I did I said letā€™s see how sheā€™s doing and boom ā€¦ but I also remember what someone told me in recovery that never forget ur not doing this for nobody but urself ā€¦ im holding tight onto that . I hate peoples last memory of me is evil when thsts not who I truly am. But this is not about them its about changing so that I can handle breathing in this world without wanting to self destruct. Have good night day everyone . Stay up

I guess if itā€™s a friend ā€¦ It has always been and will always beā€¦ Donā€™t hopeā€¦ Believe ! I guess thatā€™s what I have learned today. We are who we are and friends accept that, thrue years, thrue good and badā€¦

In the blink of an eye an ocean can swell,
Mountains crumble and trees stumble ~
Humble in the eye of timeā€¦
Donā€™t wair a watchā€¦
Time is all you got !!!

I canā€™t see your pics, they are blurry. Seems like others can.

This hit hard for me. Because I would always think if i could go on sober for awhile the next time I have a drink will be different. Yea thats a joke. I feel this last relapsed has hit different for me and I truly believe it will stick. Thank you for your post.

  1. So much going on in my life lately and havenā€™t had much time to be here on TS but I think and pray for you all! I will be closing on my very first home soon. Something I never thought would be possible but because I chose to stay sober everyday the impossible are now possible. I canā€™t wait to see my kidā€™s faces when I take them to our own home! I mentor a young lady on her recovery journey and on Friday she had flowers sent to me at workā€¦I cried. It was such a thoughtful gesture and showed her appreciation I just feel so Blessed. Have a wonderful week everyone and keep up the good work!

Nothing to report. Another groundhog week in lock down. Feeling bored and lazy.

Update - lockdown extended AGAIN and we now also have a curfew. Ughhh :grimacing:

There is a show on Netflix called colony, our reality kinda is starting to feel like that show. Concerning.

I just want to eat Ben & Jerryā€™s and watch rick and Morty :joy:

Had a good meeting tonight. Talked about are higher power and I realized I really have shut it out and have been trying to do this all my way. My way gets me know where quick every time, going to really try and stay connected and spiritually fit bc Iā€™m tired of being miserable

Iā€™ve never been religious so I always resisted the ā€œhigher powerā€ idea when I first stopped drinking. Then I started reading around here how it can be really anything, so Iā€™ve been starting to view nature as my higher power. Not any crazy talking to trees stuffā€¦just trying to do more hiking, walking, spending time outdoors etc.

So far itā€™s really been working wonders. I donā€™t say that to try to suggest nature as a higher power; Iā€™m just using myself as an example of someone whoā€™s never been spiritual or religious but Iā€™m working on the higher power thing to try to better myself.

Keep up all the hard work man.

Good job Wakikki,

That win you had tonight has fanned your flame and allowed it to burn bigger. All we need is a spark to start then every time we get uncomfortable and show ourselves we can get through those uncomfortable situations we get stronger, the fire that burns inside us can grow bigger. When we were in active addiction that was snuffed out.

I am really pleased to read you feel pride, congrats on your days. :slight_smile:
