It’s not our friends and family’s responsibility to take our sobriety seriously. It’s ours. Expecting everyone to change their behaviors because of our actions is just an extension of our disease. Their friend is in no way ignorant for wanting to have a beer. That kind of blame casting and resentment building is not healthy.

459 days The Beer Bitch Brain isn’t knocking as loudly but she’s still around on a frequent basis. I took the time to write a letter to myself and am surprised at how it’s helping my outlook today. I’m still taking baby steps and am often getting through one hour at a time but the important part is that I’m getting through this. The fog is lifting and moving forward is my only option.

404 days no alcohol.
372 days no cocaine.
10 days no disordered eating.
Have been trying not to focus on the number or talk too much about it, but I’m proud of my 10 days with the ED stuff, this is my longest stretch unsupervised. Cravings have started to rear their heads but I’m staying focused 
I’ve left my flat 3 times today, all nicotine related, ended up buying a new vape because mine stopped working. That pharmacy company rejected my request due to my medical history so I’m back trying to quit on my own will. I know I’ll get there, I’m determined not to go into 2022 with any lingering addictions.
I hope you’re all having wonderful weekends

The one thing I obsessed over
Is the same thing that will ruin me
Addiction in a nut shell
Just keeping it in the moment without a drink in my hand

I don’t totally agree with this. Of course, partners and friends shouldn’t have to change their whole life for us. But a certain amount of consideration both ways is healthy, I think. My husband likes to sleep early so I keep the house dark and quiet after 9pm. My friend is on a keto diet, so if we picnic together I bring food she can eat. etc. Equally my husband doesn’t keep my preferred alcohol in the house. And there was a situation when he had some (it had been left by someone else) and after two weeks of him drinking his beer and leaving that, I asked him to please drink that first. He was really surprised that it was bothering me. Yes, he should have the freedom to keep what he likes in his own house. But equally I should have the freedom to not be continually tested in my own house.

Pretty common here. Plates of sushi go round on a conveyor-belt, and u grab what u want. Most plates are a dollar. If u can’t see what u want, u order it via a touch screen, and the chefs make it and it comes round on the belt
This is just from google, not the place we went to.

Consideration for those around you is love. Not everyone gets that. Ms. Monkey went on keto, so I went on keto. Why would I keep food around she couldnt eat? Is she in charge of her body yes. Is it my fault if she eats an oreo, no. But I consider her to be important, so I adapted. However, when those around us dont adapt, we cant use it as an excuse. My question…why be around those who dont think you are important?
