Yes, I spoke with them about my feelings too, so that they can understand me a bit better. It helped to lessen the tenseness on this situation, but I still donā€™t know how to let them closer.

Yes me too. Colorado is one of my favorite places on earth. Iā€™ll be praying for all the families who are affected.
You sound like you have a fun night planned. I LOVE cards against humanity- but Iā€™ve only played the adult version.
Iā€™m really happy our paths crossed too Ami, have so much fun tonight :partying_face::blush::yellow_heart:

Checking in today.

  • I am struggling at my office this morning because I donā€™t like working alone. Being alone is associated in my history with acting out, and Iā€™m still working on being comfortable being alone, trusting myself being alone. One day at a time.
  • Related to the point above - I am grateful for Talking Sober. When my mind started spinning out into that mudslide of addiction thoughts, I came here and immediately felt better. Thank you for being here guys. I donā€™t feel alone here. (Also thank you for the Internet. Thank goodness. Hundreds of people are available with a few clicks. Amazing :exploding_head: I am grateful for that.)

Take care folks and have a safe, sober day. :innocent:

Morning check in
Happy New Years Eve everyone! I slept really well last night (a hot lavender bath always helps). Woke up feeling refreshed and ready to take this day on. No crazy dreams about exs or using. Feels good! Lol Today itā€™s really cold out (-42Ā°C with the windchill) but I am heading out for groceries. Going to do some organizing today in the apartment and then maybe hit the gym. My hubby was sent home from work due to the cold. The construction site got shut down for today. So heā€™s home too. Going to enjoy an na meeting online today also, do my prayers and guided meditations. Also going to spend some time reflecting on what needs to change and be worked on for the new year. Things that Iā€™d like to improve on within myself so that Iā€™m a better person for myself, my family, and for the world. New Years eve (and holidays for that matter) have never been a trigger for me to use. In the past, everyday in general was a day to use so thereā€™s no triggers around holidays for me, but I realize that many do experience a hard time. I will be home tonight and on and off of TS. If anyone needs someone to listen or vent to or talk to, u can always message me on here :slight_smile: Praying and hoping that everyones new years eve is safe and addiction free :smiley: hugs!

Thank you! Yaā€¦ actuallyā€¦ its weird to think thisā€¦ but with it being this cold out, Iā€™m grateful Iā€™m clean and sober right now. There were a few occasions in the past back in Winnipeg Manitoba (where Iā€™m from) where I would be stranded outdoors or so out of it that I couldā€™ve potentially froze to death. Itā€™s scary to think about. It worries me alot actually about those that pass out on the street after the new years eve party etc. Thereā€™s usually at least 1 or 2 people that are found frozen to death on Jan 1st. Very sad. Grateful Iā€™m clean and sober and warm

Thank you :slight_smile: I just really wish the best for everyone on here. My heart goes out to everyone who is struggling. If I could rid the world of one thing, if would be addiction. Just take it all away. We all deserve so much happiness, to be loved and to love, to feel that sense of belonging, and to feel whole as a person :purple_heart:
