Checking in, really happy today. Absolutely loving life!
Currently sat watching American horror story with my best friend and eating spag bol cooked by my nephew.
Today life is good, I really hope you’re all as happy as me right now.
Happy Thursday everyone!! Xx
Poor little peanut, that breaks my heart to see her little spirit broken.
Day 3! Still kicking butt!
Same here. But I met her right at the stairs or the bus and she said daddy they didn’t bully me today but you can still come and talk to them . I let the bus driver know what she said and to plz keep a eye on it grabbed my peanut and carried her across the street, she was in much better spirits
Day 252 completed. Not on here often but sending positive sober vibes and love to you all
Tell her it says what kind of person THEY are. She’s a bright star everyone can see shining through!
Fantastic share. Do whatever makes you happy! A nice meal, a trip somewhere. Especially if it is something you always wanted to do, but didn’t have time/money when you were drinking.
@CATMANCAM Although I think going back to the gym would be great (fuck those guys) could you do exercise videos at home? there are all kinds. walking progressing to jogging? You could start a thread for it (if there isn’t an exercise thread already) as I know motivation can be hard to maintain with home exercise. I remember reading an article that exercise was linked to increased self-confidence, but not to reduced weight. It is the movement itself that gets those hormones and endorphines going.
@050Nl Talk to us in September then. Use your tools more than ever.
Please let me know if you found it helpful. I’ve never been to one as the closest meeting is in the next big city and I don’t drive. Having said that I’ve always been interested. Don’t want to travel for an hour for nothing.
Hope you find it rewarding, and good luck with your sobriety. And congratulations on getting to day 4 that’d always my ‘hump’ day, it gets better from there. Good luck!! xx
There’s plenty on zoom. intherooms.com and find it very helpful when in person meetings are not available.
Congratulations on day 4 good luck at the meeting. I hope you like it.
Checking in on day 56
Oh thanks for that. I had no idea I could do a meeting that way. Thanks for the tip xx
congrats on the BIG 90
Thanks @Dazercat and @Dolse71!
Thanks @CATMANCAM, and I am sorry that you are struggling because of what happened. I would echo what @Olivia and others have already said. Those guys… I know their kind. They are cowards and insecure, and they only learned how to feel better about themselves by attacking others’ vulnerabilities. I wish you peace and healing from this.
Is it ok to do a night check in ? If so just wanted to to post a update I’m doing great tonight doing some laundry and and on Instagram looking at pictures of my favorite. Rockstar sober life is beautiful and the best self harm won’t get me ever again
Checking in sober and tired, ready for bed. Hope everyone has had a great day and peaceful night.
Day 3. . I’m terrified.
450 days & I’m just beginning to settle down after a busy day. Got blood work results today and basically everything is perfect. I wish I could get a better handle on my nerves though as they’re really messing with my eating/digestion. My man left this morning for an out of province work retreat. I truly hope he can not think of this household drama once while he’s gone. I have committed, by choice, to biting my tongue and not confronting his ex while he’s gone. He won’t be back until late Sunday and I hope it doesn’t feel like an eternity. Despite being asked to not drink while he’s gone, his ex bought beer already today. I spoke with my additions counselor today about coping mechanisms for my unique situation and I’m starting to feel better but still extremely uncomfortable. It was noted today that my avoidance and isolation right now isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it’s removing myself from a toxic situation and keeping myself safe. Guess it feels wrong because it’s actions I’m trying hard to decrease and change. I’m so angry to have my life being disrupted by an alcoholic when I’ve worked hard on leaving that lifestyle behind me.
Checking in on day 10
