ChĂšre Amie,
DĂ©solĂ© que cela te soit arrivĂ©. Il y a quelques jours, j ai entendu lors d un meeting, que Dieu Ă©tait au delĂ  mĂȘme de la vie et des Ă©vĂ©nements de la vie. J avais tjrs l impression que ce qui m arrivait Ă©tait causĂ© ou voulu par Sa VolontĂ© mais j ai compris que la vie, c est la vie et Dieu est Dieu. Il arrive des choses terribles mĂȘme aux bonnes personnes, mais celles qui garde leur foi en Dieu, gĂ©reront mieux et plus paisiblement ces Ă©vĂ©nements de la vie. Hier, j ai reçu un courrier du Council de Ealing Broadway ou j ai vĂ©cu il y a 10 ans de cela et il me rĂ©clame prĂšs de 900 pounds. AprĂšs la colĂšre et l incomprĂ©hension, j ai fais place Ă  ma foi en Dieu et maintenant je suis prĂšs Ă  faire ce qui est juste pour plaire Ă  Dieu. Je me sens beaucoup mieux depuis. C est ce qu a dĂ» vivre Jesus dans le jardin des oliviers. Je pense fort Ă  toi :pray:t5:

407 days no alcohol.
375 days no cocaine.
13 days no disordered eating.

Checking in for yesterday.

So it was my niece’s 3rd birthday, the good thing about this was that I would be seeing my family for the first time in over a month, the bad thing about this was that I was seeing my family. Some of it is my own internalised shame about being the failure of the family, some of it is them and the way I’m ignored in conversations, being shouted at about my weight etc. When it was time to leave and we were all saying goodbye, my dad hugged my brother and my sister in law, then turned his back on me and got in his car, cue major lifelong feeling of rejection. So I felt like sh*t afterwards, as always.

The last two days I have eaten a couple of small things that are extras, it’s hard to allow myself to do this because it makes me worried that a binge is creeping in, hopefully not. I’m annoyed though because I’ve gained 2lbs since Sunday.

Will check in for today later on.

I’m really sorry for what you experience from your father. It’s such a deep pain. I know that you know, it’s about him not you, but I also know it hurts as fuck anyway. No understanding can take the edge off that pain. Maybe time, acceptance, self-love and the love of others. Hugs.

((( @apes2020 ))) Good grief !!! That’s just insane awful! I’m so glad you’re okay! Keep us updated please. Guess it didn’t even enter your mind to go find your old DOC in your time of literal freaking chaotic disaster. I’m proud of you. Relieved you’re ok. :purple_heart:

I’m glad you got through that sad torment. Right, it’s your Dad’s problem, not yours.
Try to see that, as hurtful as it is 

That’s not nice and not decent behavior on your Dad’s part. He’s acting like a bad child. Sounds like a lot of your family is like that. Shame on them and wth. I’m sorry.

Day 28 here and woke up today with the thought “Damn, it would be nice to have a drink.” WHAT THE HELL!

It wasn’t a strong physical craving or anything but it sure is scary when I get ambushed by thoughts like that.

Checking in - feeling melancholic today. I am sensing a pattern that the day after a severe headache event my mood is very low and I need to stay diligent on not sinking into that feeling. Low mood is a big trigger for me. No sleep is, too. So I will try to keep doing the next right thing, get out in the fresh air, try to eat, and focus on the things that help lift me up. I am grateful that my head is better and I got some good rest, if not much sleep. Hoping to turn things around today. :heartpulse:

Checking in 629 days sober as fuck.
41 days no added sugar.
Life has been better since I quit drinking. Not always good. But always better than if I’m drinking. And easier to deal with.
So,

I’m not drinking today.
And I’m probably not drinking tomorrow.
Who’s with me?
