23!!!
I am starting to freak out about this number already
Congrats on those awesome numbers
Thank you so much dear Menno
and thanks @Seb its been a crazy ride so far but I wouldnāt change it for the world!
@Jonachav123 have a fantastic night Jonathan, weāre here if you need us, those numbers are are growing nicely
@Nowenbrace beautiful! I love the number 7
@CATMANCAM wow this is fantastic news, you have every reason to be feeling proud! Iām so glad you are standing firm and not letting this āgrey areaā ridiculousness stand in your way of doing what you need to do for you!
about 15 years ago because of night job, parties and reading Nietzsche and Tibetan Books of Dead and so one day after party and lack of sleep I got this Panic Attack that ended up in Ambulance. I later had Panic Attacks every day for 4 years. Started to drink Clonazepam and got addicted. Later I got depressed and Depersonalization - Derealization syndrom. Everything was getting worse and worse. Nothing helped. And One day one Famous Bioenergetic / Parapsychologist helped me in one hour he only talked to me and said everything what is wrong with me and what I need to change to cure myself. I started to heal from that day. No panic attacks, no drugs, no dp/dr for like 10 years now!!! After my alcoholic father stabbed me almost to death while drunk few years later I was going to one doctor who helped me to remove tention from my neck and back. We talked a lot about life with that doctor and I mentioned the name of that Parapsycholoyst who helped me. The doctor was like I KNOW HIM! He changed my life like 20 years ago. He was a Fighter and someone beated him so badly that he became almost disabled. Nothing helped and he went to that famous Bionergetic. He gaved advice to go to China I believe and since that day his life changed, he was healed and later started to heal others and became good doctor.
Coincidences sometimes still freaks me out and gives me some flashbacks of that Derealization and axiety. Some says there are no coincidences, those are spiritual things. I am very familiar with Kundalini energy and such thingsā¦ but lets not dig that deep.
In other hands I know what is 23 Enigma, and at the end this shows how incredibly human mind works. If you attach to one thing you can see everything in itā¦
But still when something like this happens it freaks me out. And sicne I dont have Panic Attacks I dont like those flashbacks.
Good for you. Iām just about to start delving into trauma more, but needless to sayā¦ You do you, you heal you, you love you. Adults/parents can be harmful to us.
Checking in on Wednesday morning sober and grateful
Morning, 52 days , feeling crappy, tired, head not in right place,cloudy, itās half term here so gonna go out shopping with my youngest, ,. Hopefully walking about and shopping therapy will lighten my head. . Had the worst nights sleep, (fell asleep probably around half 4 am.)ā¦ I just want to feel a bit more energetic ā¦ itās not a nice feeling at all.
@CATMANCAM Congratulations on getting a sponsor! I only talk to mine once a week, but it is for an hour, and I sometimes worry about filling the time, so I understand your feeling.
@Mno Changing jobs is a big thing, it is the majority of your time, 5 days a week, natural to be wary.
Day 561
Kids were off today. Nice pancake breakfast, and then this afternoon a walk to a DIY store / supermarket / pet shop that just opened nearby. The petshop had a sloth. I donāt think for sale, which must be illegal, surely, but as an opening exhibition, I guess borrowed from a zoo. I have never seen one so close, literally just behind the bars.
Happy hump day! Another 24 hours sober. Have an awesome day my friends!
Day 187 today! Warm but rainy day! Hope everyone has a great day! Take care and be safe!
Good morning! Checking in on day 53 no weighing self and day 7 no purging. Back on my game and have been doing well!
Hey all, checking in on day 619. I hope everybody has a good one!
Day 98
Just checking in. Have a wonderful day everyone!
Day 1207 here. Feels like spring is around the corner. Worried about war.
I will have a run now, hope the fresh air will help my mood.
Wow. Well done.
Nice number!!! Way to go my friend
Wooooooo!
Look at those 7ās!
Great catch, congrats on your recovery. Itās been a pleasure walking beside you since you arrived.
Im really proud of you!!! I see the change in u and the progress ur making! I am excited for you about ur new sponsor! I too experienced some issues at certain mtgs surrounding me meds. I absolutely need my meds so that the risk of relapse is low. My meds balance my moods so they I donāt feel so āextremeā which can trigger a relapse. Some people just donāt get that. Thays okā¦ they do them and I do me Some people can be so super strict but no where in the Big Book (from what I recall) states that presscribed medication used properly and as directed, is going against anything regarding sobriety. What people think about prescribed medication is their opinions. And u know what they say about opinionsā¦ āOpinions are like a**holes. Everybody has oneā lol You Do whatās best for you. Honestly tho, not every mtg I went to was so hung up on the issue around medication. I found a sponsor who was on the same page as myself and who understood my mental health concerns. And at one point, I decided to even stop talking about my meds. I kept that a personal thing and just spoke about my addiction and daily struggles/successes at mtgs. It saved me alot of headache honestly Iām proud of you! I really do see the progress happening in ur life!! Ur doing great
This is a pamphlet surrounding meds from AA
https://www.aa.org/aa-member-medications-and-other-drugs
It states that: āIt becomes clear that just as it is wrong to enable or support any alcoholic to become readdicted to any drug, itās equally wrong to deprive any alcoholic of medication which can alleviate or control other disabling physical and/or emotional problems.ā
I had a friend attend DRA (Dual Recovery Anonymous) which she quite enjoyed that seemed to help her. She was able to speak more openly about mental health stuff and addictions
