I know nothing of fish but my hubby does. He is teaching me alot. They seem super finicky to me lol can’t feed em too much or too little and clean water n certain things u put in the tank. Idk. But they are soo nice. I think some fish are easier tho to care for. U n ur daughters would probably love them 
maybe look into some!

U know… I really needed to hear this. I know u were talking about urself and ur view on alcoholism and how it’s never coming back into ur life. But I look up to u in a sense bcuz u have such a long time in recovery and u know, after my little melt down earlier, I have come to realize that I can not have any reservations in recovery. There can not be anything that happens in my life, where I would fantasize the thot of using drugs to escape. What I wrote earlier too is a red flag. That’s one of my reservations. Being so overwhelmed and stressed for soo long that I need an escape. Sure I may feel like I need one, but an escape doesnt have to be drug induced lol I can zone out at the gym or get out in nature etc. Idk. I’m going way off topic here lol. What I’m trying to say… is that ur view on alcohol in ur life is what I want for me. And I can’t have any reservations whatsoever. Drugs are gone for good. And no matter what crazy emotion i feel or situation I’m in… it never lasts. Thanks for sharing and being here on TS

Nice couple of days in my van, wish I was still there, really feels like my happy place, parked up overlooking the beach… now back to my current reality up early to get ready for work.
Book I am reading is discussing the feeling of not living your true life so apt for me.
Congratulations on all your milestones, still catching up on thread.

Day 573
Had one of those days when I didn’t really do much but it just kinda disappeared.
Did get a haircut and had my usual disappointment that my hair doesn’t behave like the hair in the picture. And that a haircut doesn’t change my face.

Checking in, day 486. I’m heading to my friend’s place, I will stay there for the rest of the week. I’m pretty anxious about that, as we haven’t met in a while and had a few fights lately. I’m tired, translated for refugees at the railway station and it was rough. Helps putting things into perspective. Next week I will already be home.

Coffee. New week. Three late shifts ahead. It smells like spring outside. A smell that includes cow dung, wafting in from the polder. I’m up and down quite a bit. Personally I’m doing OK, but I find it hard to deal with the shit in the world. It feels so close now.
I know it’s not fair to the people in Myanmar, in Syria, Iraq, Lybia, in Ethiopia, in Colombia, in all those countries where war is and has been raging, destroying so many lives of ordinary people. It’s not fair this war hits me so much harder. But it does. And that in itself makes me feel bad once again.
I know we need some distance from happenings in the world or we’d go mad. I know I do. It’s a form of cognitive dissonance, and I need it to survive.
OK. One thing I am absolutely sure of is drinking wouldn’t help. In the past I’d been down in the bar trying to drown my own, and the world’s troubles. Which would never help, it would just make me drink more the next time. Never again. Have as good a week as you all can friends. Make it sober and clean or nothing will come of it. One day at a time. Love from Amsterdam.

Checking in sober on day 23.
A week of early shifts ahead. Weather continues to look a lot like spring in winter time.
I watched the news last night. All the horrible things that are going on in the world right now make me sad and dissappointed in us humans.
I’m trying not to let all this affect my personal mood and sobriety.
Have a great sober week everyone!
One day at a time

Powerful statement, I like it alot Chris.
@Seb belated congrats on 60 days, you’re seriously doing well, feels like your numbers are growing fast!!
@Butterflymoonwoman your honesty, self analysis and strength blows me away. I hope you find that such important “me time”, even if they are small moments during the day, they honestly make a big difference to our health and sanity

Checking in Day 1012 AF
Feeling much better today. Kids are back at school and I’m feeling some normality and routine return which my sanity and mental health seems to really hinge on. Still have troubles with my eldest but I can only keep on doing what I’m doing and keep believing we will turn a corner soon…
I went into 2022 with the goal of self improvement and growth, and that started today with day 1 of an Assertive Communication workshop. Found it really fascinating and can see it really helping. I tend to be quite passive and afraid of potential conflict/confrontation if I want/need to speak up for myself and really want to start addressing it. So I’m completing that workshop this term and next term (April/May) I’ve enrolled to follow it up with a self-esteem workshop.
So all in all a positive and sober day, let’s make it a positive and sober week ODAAT

Hey Becsta
Way to go on participating in the Assertiveness and Self esteem training.
I’ve completed similar workshop’s and they helped a lot. The key is in practicing what you have learned

You describe it perfectly how I feel. There is too much shit going on in the world.
And this war feels different, it’s so close. And it’s all around the news every day all day. Like Covid. This kills me.
I now do consume less news, blocked some words on Twitter and do some art when coming home.
Drinking did not help at all, it made me feel even worse. I know that it does, I drank anyway. Not much, but I did.
Feels good to be here now, with you guys. This helps a lot.
I hope you have a great day
