That could be partly why you’re down on yourself sometimes. They’re not being helpful, they’re mean. I closed my fb about 6 years ago. Maybe take a break from them.
No room for negativity!

I am wondering Mike… on fb have u ever thot of unfriending or unfollowing or blocking people? I literally do this. There was this “friend” who literally wanted to argue everything I posted. She was eating at my mental health ans pissing me off. I was finding myself getting worked up and mad over her comments. Finally I decided to “clean up” my fb friends list. Anyone who I didn’t like or who caused problems or aggravated me, I unfollowed or unfriended. If they don’t contribute anything positive to my fb or my life I literally got rid of them. I’m super picky with who I add now. I don’t know ur relationships with these people who post negative stuff… but if they dont add anything positive to ur life, do u think unfriending them would make things better? U do amazing work!!! I’m baffled that anyone honestly has anything bad to say! So im wondering if it is toxic jealousy or just plain old hating on you that they are doing. Either way, it’s not okay. U have control over who ur friends with. U don’t need this my friend

Yes! Tell us when you pour it out and youve made it through another evening, youll do good!
Better to literally run away or pour it out or cry and scroll here (like ive done many times) than drink.
Have you tried nonalcoholic wine before? Definitely get it if you think itll help…though for me id just want the real thing!
Something easy to make is homemade lemonade/limeade and you can even make multiple variations to try. Or water with cucumber slices in it! Or milkshakes

I think it was a bad idea to get the wine for my mother law. My husband just came home from the store with it and I’m craving like mad. I want to scream and cry. I know I’ll get through it. I’m NOT resetting my clock. It just sucks to feel this way and I feel kind of depressed. It is hard getting dinner ready for everyone without a drink in hand tonight. I’m gonna pull myself through. I really don’t feel like having them over, but it’s my father in law’s birthday. Ughh. Wish I was happier.
I know I will be… Thanks for listening.

Thank you Dana. I have definitely removed alot of ppl recently, but I tagged the person I did the tattoo for so they can still comment, and one person said what’s with all the wrinkles, and is the red supposed to look like that. And I geuss ppl didn’t like the flow with the wave I put in the middle of it… I loved it, the wrinkles and stuff I did on purpose to try and give it a old school look and have flow and texture to it, I left breaks in the red on purpose and yeah I did over exaggerate the wave in the middle but I did that because I know as It heals it’s going to fade and not look so big it will feather out and have that nice old school look he asked for. I checked it with him and he says he still loves it. I geuss that’s what seriously needs to matter the most. I used a very soft gray wash in those lines and the stars so it will fade and they won’t be visible and it will just look like a nice flowing flag is what I was trying to picture in my mind. It’s nice to see everyone’s perspective on art is different. Like I’ve said it is a small town and yes not many ppl like me in this town, I did make a name for myself so I’m sure some of it is just jealousy and hate but I don’t think anyone in this town is going to give me the chance to succeed honestly. I’m gonna try my best to keep pushing and growing it’s making me stronger as a person that’s for sure and definitely helps me realize not everyone is as friendly as I thought. Your biggest supporters are usually strangers they always say

Im just doing a night time check in, I know I said I’m gonna stay positive and keep good spirits but I seriously just feel so broke, it’s been a while since I have thought about not wanting be alive with my previous attempts there is no worry that I will act on it bc I know the real pain it will cause. My whole life I’ve just been put down and pushed to feel like I was just a rock in the dirt and not a diamond in a glass case, even I try to act like that diamond and that I am of value ppl will push and put me back down into the dirt. I was already kind of sad today but I still tried to keep good spirits, my mom and step dad went to the next down and got some dinner and they brought me home some I was super grateful I said thank you and I was starving so I took a bike and we’ll honest I didn’t like it, so I said thank you mom I really appreciate it im going to put it in the fridge for you guys and she snapped at me said well good to know not to buy you food again when we’re out. I just said thank you mom for real I just don’t want it I’m happy you thought of me, and then she went upstairs to grab a old sound machine and came down and said I’ll give you three guesses how I’ll know when that medicine your taking is helping, that room is disgusting upstairs, your girls room is disgusting you need to get it together. Yes I have alot of unfolded clothes, yes the girls room is not the cleanest, but it’s always let’s focus on what I haven’t done, never the fact that I keep the downstairs completely spotless, clean there bathroom spotless or am constantly picking up there messes off the counters that I never complain about. My whole life dude, never good job Mike never been to any graduation ceromies, never any football or baseball games. And it’s just like no wonder I feel so pointless in life. My ex use to always call me fat, ugly, nobody liked me everyone thought I was stupid and narcissistic and a woman abuser, she cheated on me so much and even told me autumn my oldest wasn’t mine when she was first born. I did have a praternity test for Addie but never for autumn bc I never cared to know she was already mine and had been in my life to long and I would never do that to her or myself, but I wonder alot if she is truly mine sometimes. If I didn’t have my girls I probably wouldn’t be here anymore, I really don’t want to live anymore but I know I need to for them. Idk I just wanted to get this out I’m sorry and I know this sounds like a pitty party which I guess it is and I just need to pull myself out of it

Better day today. My hubby and I actually had a talk about yesterday and how we were sooo stressed out. He actually opened up to me about how he felt yesterday. I love this!!! I love communicating. We both feel better today and are both grateful for not caving last night and using. Today I was able to witness the beautiful Chinook Belt. It’s a weather thing where warm air blows from the Rocky Mointains. This is probably the prettiest one I’ve seen.
These are beautiful gifts of recovery
Hope everyone is doing well. Just gonna relax soon and do some self care before bed. Maybe a meditation also! Opportunities are endless when we are clean!
