You absolutely deserve it, you deserve the best love in the world. I am glad that he has been solid and stuck by your side through it all. Your little and you deserve to be doted on and protected. Enjoy your special day together.
You’ve really been on a rollercoaster, amiga! I’m so glad to hear that you’re feeling solid and supported. Hope you enjoy celebrating and he appreciates the attention He’s so lucky to have you in his life, too, and don’t you forget it!!!
I am checking in on Day 1. From the last time I checked in 6-ish days ago, I have been wiggling - averaging a few beers a day. Last night after three, I said, “This is so fucking stupid.” I threw away the rest, all of the vodka that was left by a visitor (I don’t drink it but I could and probably eventually would).
I really forgot or pushed back why the hell I was staying sober, living sober. I can search back in this forum and find the thread about the day I laughed a REAL laugh again. Remembering why, each and every day, is mandatory. It is for me and it is for you. Anyone that’s been around for a hot minute will know, I didn’t plug into a meeting that other Day 1.
The house is free of alcohol and I am back to reading this forum, smiling at all the sayings that kept me going in the past - wondering why I stopped reciting them. I can’t even pinpoint it. It doesn’t even matter. Today matters.
I missed so many of you. I won’t start naming names because I’d forget some. I hope you know who you are.
Checking in AF. Everyday I feel something is not rigth with me, because of how I feel all the time, tired, pains, headeachs and so on. I did so some bloodwork last week, I have waited loooong to do it, I was scared, scared it would show something bad for my liver. I checked the answer today, the liver is fine (asat, gamma, not sure if its called this in english in Norwegian it is), and even my vitamin B levels are way better, they where to low last time. My vitamins D have got lower, so I have to remember everyday to take those pills. And some answer was in red(to low or high) but I dont know anything about this so I have to wait for the doctor to send me answer. But at least my liver is safe, I was so scared for this. So Im sitting here wondering, maybe I am all good and healthy, but all the pains and headaches, nervous and shit is coming from anxiety!?? I dont know, only know I cant have it like this everyday, it scares the shit out of me, feel like Im going to die everyday. Im exerciseing my muscels that doctor told me to do, and are going to get appointment at physiotherapy as told to, and start swiming. Hope this stuff will help on my troubles.
Ohhh this got long, sorry for that, and thanks for reading. Have a great one!
Thank you Tyler for always giving me some shout outs. Even with all you go through you still come here and give encouragement where you can. It means a lot dude
Carolyn! Congrats on 60 days! Even happier that your son is doing better. You’re an inspiration that we can over come impossibly hard things without numbing.
Thanks sweetie! I’m proud of myself, and that’s not a feeling that comes around often. He’s attending an online meeting today! It’s such a change from previous times. I know I’m just “the mom”, but I hope I can be an inspiration for him. That would mean so much!
Honesty is good, the more you post the more I am convinced you aren’t done yet and that’s ok. Suicide attempts and misery aren’t everyone’s rock bottoms Mike, sometimes it takes more. Some of us need more pain then that, I know I did. You say you don’t want to come here and post because you know what you will hear. Honestly that’s why I have stopped commenting on your posts, it gets repetitive, I agree.
I pray that you never pick up tainted dope and neither your mom nor your girls ever walk into your room to a dead body. Sounds morbid yes, but that is the reality of this disease. I hope you find your way Mike, don’t ever stop trying.
