Got a new Lego set today which has kept me pretty busy. bought that and then I put away nearly all of my money so I can use it whenever I move out, so thatās the last thing Iāll be buying for myself in a while.
Feeling really sick today, but thatās typically how Sundays are when I have a Saturday with my whole family. Yesterday was just a mess and it wore me down. My family is always toxic, but yesterday it was especially bad. My family tried to have an intervention type thing with my alcoholic uncle. Iād be all for it, but my uncle is also the same person who sexually abused me for at least 5 years. (I only for sure remember 5, but I have vague memories of things happening before then) My family, however still does not believe this. So I see him regularly. Iāve numbed myself to that, but at the intervention I had to tell him that I loved him, cared for him, wanted to see him get better, etc. I do want him to get better, but I still hate him. It was just hard to see the look on his face. He loves to see me struggle to talk to him. The intervention only ended in him storming out and breaking things anyway. It was in my grandpaās house, so he ended up breaking some vases and things that were my grandmaās. She passed 9 years ago. It broke my heart to see my grandpa so hurt.
Piercing is pretty sore as well, it could hurt for up to 8 weeks, but itās worth it.
Sorry for the long post. I hope you all are doing well.

How hard this must have been for you 
Iām āheartingā your post bcuz I think you are an incredible woman who has been thru so much and who has had to work thru some tough stuff. It hurts me to hear that ur family does not believe what happened. That must have been so uncomfortable being there and feeling like u needed to say those things to ur uncle after all he did. Pressure from family is a tough spot to be in. I want u to know that I hear you and that Iām here for u girl xo reach out anytime if u need

Sunday night Checking in.
2 years and 8 weeks!
No alcohol, which also means no hangovers.
Just living life on lifeās terms. Sober.
Iām grateful every day for that.
Keep up the great work everybody. Yāall are worth it.
If you quit now you will end up where you first began. And when you first began, you were desperate to be where you are right now. Keep going!!

Not posted for a few days, as been down and upset, got a work situation which is not pleasant and been trying to work out how to deal with it. On a positive not lost my cool and walked out. Being planning how I can approach things with a favourable outcome for me, been some underhand behaviour in the team which impacts me. Yes dreading work today but calm. I consider that progress. Realised not posting or acknowledging on here that itās a difficult time for me is not helpful
Interview last week went well, but job is not for me. Its more of a mediator role between warring tenants, no thank you 
@Rockstar24777 you are amazing really. Corey would be so proud of you. What you been through is unimaginable but your strength is inspiringā¦ wishing you comfort 
Have a strong 24 hrs all

- Coffee. Ended my time in bed with a drinking dream. Might have to do with my upcoming milestone. Not feeling the most stable but Iām OK. Staying sober and clean. A late shift up ahead with some meeting before. Off tomorrow. Letās keep moving forward all. Clean and sober. Love from Amsterdam.
The statue in the pic commemorates the February Strike which took place here February 25 1941, a brave protest against the deportation of the Dutch Jews. Feels very timely to remember
