Starting from scratch - again. I really wish this pandemic would end - I spend hours late into the night to WhatsApp half way across world. I can’t be there in person, I can’t be with kin who will love amd support me. If I didn’t stay here in the west I wouldn’t have the money to pay for the healthcare of my kin. This global economy and pandemic sucks.
Wish we could really make sure another world is possible for our young ones. Coz this one that we live amd abd are leaving for them sucks. Wish I had a better post - but I will pick myself up because what else can we do? At least I can clean my own crap.
All you have to do is show up. You will find much support there. There are also lots of online options if you can’t make it to an in-person meeting. Good for you for taking this step.
Coffee. Still in a bit of a funk. It’s bloody dark outside. For 11 AM especially. OK. SAD lamp on. Listening to Ólafur Arnalds And Nils Frahm (try it). Shower. Eat. Work. Sober and clean. One day at a time.
Have as good a day as you all can friends. Keep going. Clean and sober. Love from Amsterdam and Galena Summit ID, April 2017. Sunny memories of a great drive with a great friend.
Hey fellows, grateful to have reached 4 months of sobriety yesterday. All thanks to God, the AA Programme and daily work on my side. I’ve not been active on here due to a full schedule. I’m sure active in my group and the fellowship around me. We claim spiritual progress rather than spiritual perfection. One day at a time.
Day 9 check in. Had a HUGE wobble - wine witch came in STRONG. God I hate her. I have to remember the only way forward is through the hard parts. Checking in as I’m having a wobble in going to be my saving grace!! #efthewinewitch
I love your nails too. Yesss loving the fact that money is going to self care instead of self destruction.
Long time needed hair apt for my daughter and I tommmorow…might even do a Mani pedi after. Thank ful…thankful that I am loving myself enough to care about investing in my self again
By the way that sky high masacra you recommend from your beauty thread…is everything.Thank you April.
Thought about scotch the other day though. Luckily it was just a fleeting thought.
Going to do some intense workouts more often. I need to. I am just…it’s almost like I have giganticism or whatever. I’ll lift weights, get bigger, then eat, and then I’ll need to lift weights again, and I just keep getting bigger, but nothing is super toned yet. It looks weird, but I gotta be strong. I want to be in shape, but also healthy. Nothing better than your health.
Feeling good. Yesterday was a good day and today will be also. Got half of my Yoga assignment completed with the goal of completion today and he submission tomorrow. Will soon be officially certified as a Yoga Educator for children and teens and can start putting action to my business goals.
My youngest is turning 10 on Tuesday. So planning his at home party…as we are still only restricted to 5 people. Again being creative and ensuring the house is decorated like a Wonderland. He wants blue and gold decorations this year. I spend the entire night decorating and they wake up to a house full of decorations. I’ve done this for all my children…it’s what I’m good at. Thankful🙏🏾
A good friend gifted me a fit bit versa…wow has the world opened up too me on another level…I just donated my CDs
Isn’t it SO GOOD! its really the best I’ve found in a while, that is affordable.
That’s so exciting you get to spend that time with your daughter together doing that that’s special
My hair Is so overdue I’m dying lol. But I can’t splurge just yet till I’m all moved into the new apartment. Doing the clean and sober adulting thing means I actually prioritise my bills first now… never thought I’d see this day come lol. It’s a great feeling being responsible
Post me pics after you and your daughter get your hair done okies
Checking in on day 263. Temperatures here in the American midwest took a sharp downturn with windchill around -20°F this morning so the kids’ schools turned to a digital learning day. Poor kids can’t get winter closure days like we had as kids, now they do it at home. Call it covid “progress.” At any rate, it will take the morning to get them through their work and then I’ll hit the gym. The new year resolutioners should start to fade away as we approach the end of January so I’m looking forward to that lol. Have a great day everyone. It’s a great day to be above ground and sober.
I am thinking about this a lot. It is in our nature and the trere I mean human nature that we always would grab the good feelings that come right away instead of accepting or believing that in the long term our hard work will pay off. That is why we are here, I guess, as we all have seen that the short term good feelings are not forever and in the long term it just sucks.
I can see this that no matter how bad and end-of-my-life I feel, there is a chance it will be better tomorrow.
Thank you April.
