I do not know either 
Just heared from my aunt heās angry too because we choose his and his partnerās birthday as wedding date. If I could do it all over again I would have told nobody about the wedding and would have married secretly!
But I thought letās share the fun! How wrong I was

I hope you donāt let this spoil your special day. When my husband and I got married I let everyone push me around. I wanted a quiet small wedding but I ended up with a big over the top wedding that I couldnāt even enjoy. And I still had pissed off people! To this day I wish weād just run off/ eloped. Stand your ground with patience and resolve.

Day 7
Good morning beautiful people
Had a pretty good sleep. Had 1 panicked wake up during the night over an awful dream. I can remember who it was about but not what happened.
Today is Family Day here. Hubby is home. He is taking some time today to go shopping and get a few things. We will clean the fish tank today too. And Iāll tidy up around here. Think one of the fish might be having babies soon too 
Not sure but it looks like it!
Self pity is gone thank God. Sometimes i honestly just need to end the day a bit early (well yesterday I went to bed on the later side actually. But I know when I need to just shut er down).
Hope you all have a wonderful Monday free of your addiction!

Trigger Warning - Childhood Abuse
Checking in with 193 days. Iāve been doing pretty well with sobriety and not having the urge to drink. My days are mostly filled with exploring, reading, meditation, and dreaming. If thereās any advice that Iāve consistently given myself, itās to never stop dreaming and using my imagination.
The areas Iām not doing so well in are the heaviness that hits me at times and not being understood by others. I used to have a belief that being understood somehow meant that person owned a piece of me. I hope that makes sense to someone. My beliefs have changed, and now I want to be understood about some thingsā¦ itās frustrating at times when Iām not. I struggle with not taking it personally.
Iāve always been a little different. I honestly believe it began with being raped at such a young ageā¦ 9 years old. Adults love to say that children are resilient, but theyāre really not. When trauma or big changes come, kids hold onto that. They bring it into adulthood, into relationships, and into parenting. Since becoming sober, Iām still learning to cope, and being misunderstood makes me feel so alone. Iām not special because of what happened to me. But I am a deep thinker, I am a little weirdā¦ Iām struggling some days to like myself, because whatās the point of speaking, of sharing, if no one gets it.
I also know myself, and Iām learning from my sobrietyā¦ this will pass. I just have to keep trudging on.

Day 130, girls came over for a little so chillen and relaxing with them. I swear it hurts like a nother when your so proud of something and get absolutely zero feedback. But w.e Iām fucking proud all that matters, and before anyone says donāt worry what anyone thinks, literally think of hitting all of your milestones or better yet your one year and gettinf absolutely zero recognition on it. It fucking would hurt, but pick myself up move on like a big boy and carry on I guess no responses is better then laugh reacts and shit, itās not validation im looking for when I post the shit on FB but criticism what could I do better where can I improve bc literally having different perspectives is niceā¦ Still love what I do and will continue loving myself and my work. Tread mill should be here soon canāt wait

I feel youāre on the right way by beginning to understand yourself. We do that by becoming sober. And working our recoveries. In a sense I feel recovery isnāt always the exact right word, because what is there to recover? We build ourselves a new life, a new self, a new understanding.
We build ourselves a new life on the ruins of our former ones. We do this for us. Yes, itād be nice if others get us. But I feel the first thing is to understand ourselves. Only when we achieve that, others may see a glimpse of the real us.
At least I feel this for myself. And Iām finally making some progress. One day at a time, ups and downs, ten steps forward nine steps back. Sober and clean. Big hugs friend.
