ur painting!! I’ve always been soo jealous of those who can paint abstract and let the creativity and energy flow. I have yet to be able to tap into that. Its beautiful! What was ur inspiration for this piece? Do u do anything beforehand to get ur creative energy flowing?

Starting day 6. Pretty worn out today from my youngest and her friend keeping us up all night from a sleepover (she’s cleaning before my wife sees the tornado they left in the kitchen). It’s going to be a beautiful day here in colorado so I’ll be able to get outside and work all day rather than being huddled up inside with nothing to do. My wife told me last night (she has a drink maybe 3 times a year) since I’m giving up something she would give up starbucks and Dutch brothers. I think she may have a harder time than me.

Day26
My client is getting ready for us to go out for a walk and enjoy the +8C weather here. Thought I’d do a bit of reading on this new book I got online. It has some really cool concepts. Like talking to your anger or sadness or frustration, with tenderness and as if you were talking to a little child… just calm and reassuring. It talks about treating our minds, emotions, and our body with nonviolence and nonduality… realizing that we need not to be afraid of our negative emotions bcuz we can transform them. Very cool! So much that I think I’ll actually purchase the book instead of borrowing it.
Anyway, day is good! Liking how I’m feeling today. Choosing to be happy and joyful!

Thanks girl. Yes I have tried the whole 123 thing. I’ll start with one and usually one of them will go 2 3 really fast and take off running. They are certainly not afraid of me lol I have smacked each of their but’s twice when they were younger and felt like the biggest piece of shit and told myself never again. I tried talking to my ex when she came to get them yesterday and she started raising her voice and let’s go get in the car and when the girls weren’t listening she raised her hand at them so I see she is using intimidation and fear towards them. She’s actually never done that in front of me before so idk if she was trying to show me this is how it’s done or what but I wasn’t the least impressed. I kept my mouth shut and just plan to keep doing what I’m doing and accept there is gonna be some crazy days lol. Much love to u as well

Aww you’re a sweet dad! Nothing wrong with being the “fun” parent. They probably enjoy being around you more because of that. I’ve definitely developed this mean mom yell. My daughters dad gets to be the fun one. We kinda fought over who got to be the fun one because we both wanted to be it and she just walked all over us. So I guess I’m the mean parent but oh well. I’m mainly the one who takes care of her so I need her to listen or I will lose my mind. She knows I love her.
I did try positive reinforcement for a while where she earned stickers for doing what she’s supposed to do and then after 8 stickers she won a prize. That worked for like a month!

Oh my gosh I’m sooooo excited. My husband and I are on our way to get a kitten. I hope it all works out…it was an ad on classified. We’ve been wanting one for a while. We lost our cat to old age over a year ago and we have missed her and my dog has missed having a budy around. They were best of friends. Wish me luck

Checking in, day 491 without alcohol. I got home at last, feeling very exhausted. This week was very demanding emotionally, it just proved that I don’t have stable self-knowledge to rely on yet. It was hectic and overwhelming. I’m glad I’m back in my everyday life, far from everything that’s unsettling.
I had been smoking in the last few months but now I left my last cigarettes at my friend’s place on purpose and I haven’t smoked today. So today is day 1 no smoking for me.

Clean Time: 4 Days
I have been going to work consistently which is huge for me. I am struggling with the withdrawal symptoms from cocaine still - i.e the depression and anxiety mainly + minor cravings. I am also struggling a lot with my untreated ADHD.
My co-worker yelled at me today for not paying attention, but I’ve been trying SO hard at work to be productive and do what I need to. Much harder than usual. So its kind of annoying that now I am getting flack for the most minor of things. 
Then a customer was talking horribly about an addict who walked into the store. She is a regular and we always have good conversations and she definitely enjoys my company. & she’s going off about how she can’t stand crackhead and all I could think was “Yeah I last smoked crack four days ago sooo…” No one really knows about my struggle so I hear a lot of people’s judgements and just kind of quietly suffer through it.
But I haven’t used and I am doing what I should. I’m hitting a meeting after I get out of work. Everything will be fine.

I doubt your a mean mom. And I apologize I should of worded what I said better. My ex is a great mom I don’t think she is a bad or even mean mom, she certainly does a lot more then I in a lot areas and is definitely a super hero to me.
