Checking in daily to maintain focus #39

I’ve come across photos or even people who trigger me on here. Deep breath, mute person or thread, life lesson to remind us of what we are, get rid of resentment and remember there’s far more people love you and have something to offer you on here than 1 shitty post.

Day 158.

Today was a really great and productive day.
Made it my goal to see the sunrise today and from there on, all of the day’s pieces fell into place.
Today, it felt good to be alive.

Day 5 checking in …. I was discharged from
The hospital today drank a ton of coffee and now i can’t sleep. Think i will cry myself to sleep. I just want to be normal. I’m sorry to spill these feelings but this is how I’m feeling I need to work on my young adult hood trauma of rape and why that is linked to alcohol. A lot it unpack Everytime i find a counselor they bail on me or the schedules don’t work out and i never work through my issues but i can’t relapse anymore it’s tiring and embarrassing and I know my mother is tired. Please pray for me.

Aced my job interview! I start Wednesday at 8am. So instead of having anxiety about my interview, I can now worry about doing a good job! Yay anxiety! :grin:
So it’s a good day, but my tooth is hurting so much I’m going to have to go to bed early. And I just finished cooking a real dinner for the first time in two weeks. Can’t eat now cuz my face hurts. :frowning:

By Gods grace, the AA Programme and daily spiritual effort on my part I am getting to 5 months without alcohol today. That’s five months of putting down alcohol as my god and letting God be God over my entire life. We claim spiritual progress rather than spiritual perfection. God’s will, not mine be done🙏🏿

Im sorry to hear your struggling today, when i cant sleep i listen to audible books or sleep meditation music, this also can be a struggle when my mind wanders off but its worth a try.
Sending you a hug through the wifi :hugs:

I’m sorry to hear your struggling yeah that coffee will get you every time, even if you do nod off, you’ll wake up often to pee.

There’s no reason to be apologetic for dumping your emotions or as I call it cleaning your filter here, it’s very therapeutic, though we are strangers your amongst friends.

The cleaning your filter thing I heard from a therapist years ago, and when she explained it it totally made sense

If you for example look at your vacuum, it has this filter thing on it to keep junk from getting clogged up in the system, but eventually it gets filthy, and either gunk gets in, or stuff gets trapped in there and can’t get out, so you clean it.

Same with your thoughts feelings and emotions, you get all that shit plugged up in there and you gotta clean it out, so you pop out the filter and give it a good clean, works well, just got to maintain it

As far as therapists go, it can be difficult to find one you mesh with, one that’s willing to work with you and can fit in your schedule, it took me ions to find a good one, but he’s a really good one and makes me think a lot.

An option if Available to you is telemedicine, my work and my insurance cooperate with an app regarding therapists and psychs on call, at a discount, if I didn’t have my team established and working on me like a science fair project, I would have used that route

Hey Apes,

Suggestion you don’t have to take, did you message the person directly requesting them to remove it.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m a pretty stubborn person but if someone messsaged me requesting I removed a photo they may have found triggering, I’d do it, I respect our friendship more than an opinion, I may have.

Either way your good people and an asset, hate to see you go but you know what’s best for you keep in touch eh? Until then, keep repping the land of Oz

  1. Coffee. Working weekend. I slept OK. Now let’s make it a decent day too. I’ll make it sober and clean for one thing, or nothing would come of it, and nothing would come of me either. Have as good a weekend as you all can friends. Make it clean and sober. Love from Amsterdam where Luna loves her new toys.
