@Wakikki I’m glad you are seeing your doctor and having tests, hopefully they will figure something out Yes, it’s similar with my family, I always feel like such an outkast and a failure compared to everyone else. Lately they blame all my health issues on my weight too, and that doesn’t help, they don’t seem to remember that I had all my mental health issues prior to my weight gain, or show any understanding that I have an eating disorder that has lead to my weight gain so none of their comments make me feel very good recently. It will likely be the case that I will only see them for a couple of hours in the afternoon on Xmas day, so I will get through it, but it does suck. @Rockergirl92 congrats on 4 months this is amazing @AyBee cool numbers congrats @zzz congrats on your week keep going, don’t let that addict voice trick you @anon53116147 that drawing of you with your girls is really awesome! @TripnMN wow, congrats on your blessings @1in8billion welcome back never stop trying @DetLionsFan sorry you had the harsh reminder of your past actions, but hopefully you can move on now, sending prayers @Tvander@MaggieDoe congrats both on double digits
423 days no alcohol.
391 days no cocaine.
29 days no binge-eating.
A quiet restful day today. I’m nearly up to date with the program I’ve been watching for the past few months, looking forward to catching up on all the new seasons of my favourite Netflix and Prime shows next
My diet is going well at the moment, and it hasn’t lead to any bingeing which I’m really pleased about. I keep dreaming that I’m about to eat a load of junk food then waking up right before I do, this happens every time I diet, I guess they are relapse dreams, I’m always relieved I haven’t binged when I wake up.
My feet and tooth are really hurting today, my eye allergies have played up, and I have another migraine. I’ve been continuing working my way through the memes threads to distract myself, and I relate to so many of them and it’s great to find humour in all of it. I’ve always been able to laugh at myself, my screenshot folder is growing exponentially!
Day 67! I realized this morning that the longer I abstain from alcohol the more I tap into the ability to find joy and enthusiasm in different activities. In the past, certain situations would have stood out to me as being “fun,” just because alcohol was involved. Now I am finding that I can tap into those qualities with a wide range of situations. And that is awesome
I am also super proud of myself today. I was asked to start up a weekend yoga class at the YMCA where I’ve been subbing as a teacher the last couple of months. It’s a Saturday morning and as much as I wanted to teach the class, I wasn’t sure if I’d want to do it every Saturday. No other teachers wanted to take it on as a regular class, so I knew they were in a bit of a bind. My hourly rate there is rather low, so I decided to try and negotiate for a higher rate for the Saturday class. At first they wouldn’t budge. I almost just took the class anyways but decided, no, my instincts are right and I deserve a bit more for this class… Then this morning they told me they have gotten such great feedback on my classes so far and agreed to a higher rate! I was so proud of myself because I dislike relating to money and negotiating makes me very uncomfortable. But I just went for it and really tried to embrace, “what’s the worst that could happen?” They could say no, and that’s not a big deal. But the best that could happen? They could say yes, AND THEY DID. Cheers to being brave and knowing our worth.
Hey Peeps, still doing what we do…With thx as always to this group…I’ve learned to be more open about my sobriety as I navigate this shit…I have no words of wisdom…just dealing with the shit I masked with Bourbon…Be well peeps, much love from Toronto.
Right now I don’t remember how old the escapists are, I think two. I know some people who used a Dutch door. The bottom being stationary and the top being open where you could see through it and hear. Maybe they could crawl over it. Some people say switching to a toddler bed gets them to stay in the bed. Either that or really easier to get out
My friends who had the problem had the same problem with the cat litter. Getting used as a sandbox in the middle of the night.
Good luck. Admire you so much what you’re doing. Hugs.
congrats on double digits that is awesome!
Like I tell everyone make sure you pay attention to self care.
Eat, sleep, exercise, drink water, meditate, and clean your house. For me the most important things I do each day and other than sleep doesn’t cause any stress but makes the day so much better.
I made it 10 days today. I’m feeling incredibly depressed tonight, a lot of old things coming up. It’s knocked me off my feet for the day. Bed early tonight. I’m grateful for 10 days and all of you.
