Beautiful share!! Thanks for posting
Wow!!!
Congrats on your days!!!
Great work hun.
Keep it going!
@Butterflymoonwoman maybe the dishonesty was once believing all the self hatred shit you had said to you or you said to yourself. In this healing journey your truth is shinning and letting you realized āthe truthā in your worth. You are kind, you are smart, you are loved and you are a survivor.
Congrats on 151.
I remember having some pretty depressing days when I started racking up some sober time. I couldnāt do shit. I walked the dogs and my day was done. I sat on the couch on the deck and just didnāt feel like doing anything. Nothing. I figured as long as I donāt pick up. Thatās my only job today. Donāt pick up. It was brutal. I hope it lifts soon for you PB
Keep checking in.
Your doing great.
Hmmm I really like ur thinking on this! Thank you for shedding some insight on this! I have alot of distorted thinking about myself at times. What ur saying makes sense to me

@paper_boats Sending hugs and strength.

Day 557
Mixed day today. Headache and nausea from the booster, so husband was kind, brought blankets and let me rest and made lunch.
This afternoon my daughter had plans to play with friends in the park but it rained so she brought them home. Husband was a grumpy fart about them being here, and totally counter productive, like he huffily picked up wrappers himself that they dropped instead of saying āhey kids, lets tidy up, the bin is hereā, etc and getting them to do it. We argued about it, him saying I am only being patient because I am currently not working due to university vacation. Which really irritated me. I really dislike how much my husband can affect my mood. Maybe it is natural with a partner.
Well done on your 90 days so happy for you Des

Son home sleeping soundly at the moment, I am at gym this morning, really donāt feel like it, but will force myself as know I will feel better after, plus when I start letting little things slip, it tends to end in more slips.
@Pica congratulations on 60 days great job
@Maggie27 welcome and well done on your 7 days
@CATMANCAM 3 weeks super proud of you
@JustAlys Alyssa those days are stacking up keep doing what you doing odaat
@Mbwoman you certainly are doing it, you are smashing it
Have a strong 24 hours all
Day 1203. Still very windy here, listening to audiobook, doing nothing. Normally, I should have been given the login for my yoga teacher training today but nothing yet which bothers me a bit. What ifā¦ Naaah.
I will visit my friend and we will go for a walk. Grateful I can go the 30 k with my E-Bike with the f* wind.
Have a good and sober Saturday.
- Coffee. That was a big storm last night. Not looking too bad now. Might bike to the dairy farm and get some yogurt and cheese. Although itās still windy and yesterday I thought that maybe an E-bike isnāt such a bad idea after all (indeed @anon74766472).
Not sure what else Iāll do this weekend. I need some down time. But I also need to make some progress. Personal and professional. I can and have all, right? One day at a time. Sober and clean like I hope all of you are, as it is the only way to make our lives better. To progress. Have as good a weekend as you all can friends.
Love from Amsterdam. The pic doesnāt do right to the scene yesterday afternoon as I made my way home from work. Canal looked like a wave pool and the crosswind forced me to walk and grabbed my bike that went airborne. I didnāt let it fly free though
@Lotusflower 90 days Des! Huge! Congrats!
@SadMemeQueen Hope you got some rest Megan. Youāre NOT alone. hugs.
@1in8billion Congrats on 2 weeks. Beautiful share. Thanks.
@paper_boats Sorry for the bad days. Keep going. If thereās one thing I am sure of, itās that using isnāt going to help.
Hello all Kat here checking in on Day 199
Still at work. Have to work again tonight but then Sun. off. Did skip a Zoom meeting in favor of sleep again last night but feeling okay about it, at 6 plus months I can probably relax a bit on meetings and go to 3 or 4 a week. I will monitor, if I start getting using thoughts will up the meetings again. Have not had a using dream for a long while which is cool.
Love you all and hope each of us has a wonderful sober day!
Kat
Good morning everyone, checking in on Day 14. I made it through yesterday without any cravings so really pleased with that, especially as the worst cravings I had were the few days before. Not sure if this is going to last but just grateful to enjoy it for now. And my skin is so smooth and fresh looking which has massively appealed to my vanity. Had to endure some serious spots last week so even better after that.
The weather has finally calmed down, and only minor damage to the garden. Now itching to get outside and have some fresh air. My chronic fatigue is really bad atm (canāt have it all!) so the walk I am craving probably canāt happen as my legs are very weak. I am resolved to just do my best though, and if all I can manage is to sit inthe garden then so be it.
I hope everyone else has a lovely Saturday
Hi everyone,
Day 553 , have a nice weekend for everyone
I agree Dana and @anon53116147 self love can be so super hard! At one point, I actually wrote down a heap of positive self affirmations on different coloured pieces of paper and blue tacād them onto the bathroom mirror as reminders - they really did help!
Some were
ā¢ I am not defined my by past; I am driven by my future.
ā¢ I am constantly growing and evolving into a better person.
ā¢ Iām freeing myself from all destructive doubt and fear.
ā¢ I am going to forgive myself and free myself. I deserve to forgive and be forgiven.
ā¢ Note to self: I am going to make you so proud.
ā¢ I am enough
ā¢ I appreciate myself
ā¢ I accept who I am and I love myself
ā¢ My body is strong, capable and beautiful
ā¢ I am unique, talented and intelligent
ā¢ I am a work in progress, I dont expect myself to be perfect all the time
ā¢ I am doing my best
Oh and Mike, I vote Axys Valhalla because I love the word Valhalla On a deeper level tho itās definition includes warriors and heroes and you mister are defintely a warrior! and little girls often look up to and see their Dad as their hero
Love this affirmations list!
Wow I love these too!
