Day 29. After a kind of hard day yesterday today feels a little better. Seen this video about these two kids singing island boy and all these ppl making fun off then and making videos mocking them. Bro imagine taking time out or your day to make fun of ppl for doing something they love, is they’re music my style…nope, but never would I laugh at them, you don’t like something learn a little humility and move on its that simple. Anys much love
Hey all, checking in on day 516. I hope everyone has a good one!
Day 518 clean and sober today. Today’s my Wednesday and I hope everyone is having a great day! Love you guys!!!
Thank you for this It was Veteran’s Day in the US, but I have always liked the celebration of Remembrance Day.
I’m sending positive vibes your way, Jenna. I was insecure when I was younger but with what I know now, you’re perfect the way you are. If you could see yourself how the world sees you, your light is what will be remembered.
Happy birthday to you! I hope you and those you love make it special. Sober birthdays are special all on their own, too. Thanks for the snow, we’ve got flurries here today and it’s magical.
Aww. So happy for you Becky. What a beautiful thing.
It’s soooo worth it. And so are you.
Day 39 Happy Friday everyone! It’s been a tough week. Trying to have all my Christmas orders ready to ship early this year since shipping is so unreliable. Very stressful time of year for small businesses like mine. I’m mindful that stress is a trigger for me and I’m trying to cope in healthier ways. Calming, fun music ~ walks in the fresh air ~ hot cocoa ~ dinner out tonight as a reward for the hard work week
Welcome! There are others here with addictions around food, so you’re not alone. Glad you’re here for support.
Welcome Lauren.
You are not alone.
Welcome Welcome!
Happy Friday! We are going to get snow today ahhhh! Have an awesome day my friends.
Today is going okay, so far. I accomplished some things yesterday and my husband told me he was grateful for me - that doesn’t happen often but it is really meaningful when he does say the words. He shows me every day, though, in his way. He has had a rough week and put in long hours working, and I’m glad I’ve been able to support him. He has to support a project at a site a couple hours south of us next week so I’ll be home alone from Tues-Friday…it’s going to be so weird to be alone. Trigger for drinking, big time. So I’m starting to make plans for my time. I had a long chat with my Papi yesterday - he has always told me I’m the only person who calls him on Veterans Day and I’m glad I’ve done it. It is a part of his story before he married and had kids and hasn’t shared with many people. He was in Vietnam starting in ‘70 and reflected on that time in our conversation. We come from a family of men who served in wartime and he joined to serve rather than be drafted, and to fulfill some sort of familial obligation that he felt was expected of him, but he also just knew that it was what he needed to do at the time. For whatever reason. He abhors violence and it has always been curious to me to picture him in that setting. With his addictive tendencies I am surprised he didn’t drink more than he did, but he reminded me that when I and my middle brother were babies, my mom said if he kept drinking the way he was that she would leave with us. That changed everything. He has also been a proponent of counseling and that is one of the reasons I first sought it out. I love my dad so much and am so grateful for our relationship. We are so much alike it’s scary sometimes. But staying sober is how I can not only be true to myself now, but to honor my parents. That’s how I feel.
Happy Friday! I’m packing for a camping trip this morning and then we will go whenever I’m done. I used to drink a lot during packing for trips, so wish me luck. Maybe I will finally use the camping hammock that was given to me years ago on this trip.
