How come you think that? Recovery for me is so much about relationships. With me, my family, friends and possible partner. Everything changes. And maybe now that you are sober you cannot run away from an emotional distant partner. And there are these questions. Do I have to endure this, how can I make it work. I think this is the place for relationships.

Please be careful I cringe every time you mention your friend. I understand how hard it can be to say no and set boundaries. I just donāt want anything to put you off track with chemicals but mostly emotionally. It sounds like the time you spend together last hours and goes down hill as they drink and make bad decisions. Being a ābabysitterā can be taxing especially as the person becomes erratic. I just care about you and want you to put yourself first.

Checking in day 180ā¦ Today for me was a little rough, i was lost in my thoughts for most of the day, i donāt know why but I felt alone 
with my family around me trying to talk to me and get me to converse with themā¦ I just shut them out and listened to musicā¦ I couldnāt figure out where it was coming from but I just didnāt want to talk to anyone. I felt like crying and I wanted a hug from my grandmaā¦ Iām getting all teary eyed typing this just nowā¦ still listening to musicā¦ hoping tomorrow will be better for now Iām going to try and get some rest. I hope you all had a good sober day. Proud of how far you all cameā¦

That is so sweet of you to think of! 
My kids are all grown ups so we are not celebrating it ourselves anymore, but I have lovely memories about them singing songs before their shoe with a carrot in it for the horse of Sinterklaas (and a wishlist for the presents ofcourse 
)

#Day 1173 
I havenāt checked in for a while, but here I am.
All is well, sober and well. A small minor is my gallblatter issues. Iām on the waiting list for an operation but because of Covid and they scale down all operations, itās going to be a long wait.
Some days Iām in pain, some not. The āone day at a timeā mantra is helping me to deal with that as well. That and some perspective. There are people with cancer ore heart issues on that long waitinglist as well. My issue is not that bad, I can wait.
Glad Iām sober to deal with it. My body is much stronger sober as well as my mind 
Picture above is from a very old tree I saw during a walk 2 days ago. It was part of a drive way from an old estate here in the south of the Netherlands. There was an intresting building on it as well, I would love to live there.
I show you the picture! This was the house from the backside. The front was situated near a big road where I could not come as a pedestrian.
The frontsite was sooo beautiful
Sorry for the long ramble Hope you all have a great day!!

I talk about relationships a lot, on here and to my sponsor. It is a big part of our lives, and can directly effect sobriety, and sobriety directly affects the relationship.

Good morning from Day 1 again. Woke up feeling bad about myself for drinking the last two nights. I just poured the rest of the bottle down the drain. Feel ashamed that I have no control over my drinking. That Iām a failure. I know I need to stop the negative self talk too. Im glad I have a therapy appointment coming up this week.
