Sorry you’re struggling Megan, get through to the next calm spell. Try some of the suggestions that ur therapist gave you. Have you tried some support groups, you can focus on the love you receive here and from your friends and family and from meetings, let the love and fellowships really sink in. Exercise and walking is so helpful as well. I’ve been going to emotions Anonymous for years,. Wish you love and acceptance

Having a hard night. I tried so hard to not to bitch at hubby. But I ended up getting rude and snappy. I shouldve just communicated better but I ignored it and I blew up like a kettle. Now my mental health (Borderline Personality Disorder) has messed with my head and my thinking. Extreme emotions, highs n lows that seem to last forever, self pity, feelings of being unappreciated or loved, bringing up every “wrong” thing about our relationship, and using thoughts and more distorted thinking. It’s literally 1021pm and I need this day to end. Gonna shower n just try to be peaceful I guess. Much love

My mood took a real sharp downturn in the last couple of hours. 
Fortunately it’s bedtime and if I can get past the irritability I can get an extra hour sleep.

That sounds shitty Dana. I can definitely relate but in a different kind of a way with my drinking wife. I find this passage always helps me. I’ve posted it before. And I’ll post it again in hopes it might help.
I should have it memorized by now. I need this one a lot. But I do have it’s sentiments down that I go back to over and over again.
Thanks for being part of my 800 celebration today. Your very sweet.

Coffee. Working Sundays means extra money. So I like to work Sundays. There’s also no danger of me being hungover from a drinking Saturday night, because I’m sober and clean. One day at a time.
I do miss going on holiday trips. It’s been 2,5 years. But people face much much worse problems in the world. So let’s be grateful for what I have. A job. My health. A place to come home to this afternoon. My cat. Food on my plate. Peace in my country.
Have as good a Sunday as you all can friends. Make it clean and sober or nothing will come of it. Love from Amsterdam and the Guadalupe river TX.

Thanks again everyone for making my day special. I’m sure I’m not alone. But. This is the only place I get to celebrate my sobriety. I don’t really have any friends irl. And that’s ok. We move so often. It’s our way of life. It’s actually not so bad. The few long distance friends I know are great. But as you know. They can’t relate like you all. I finally told my wife tonight about my 800. She said congratulations and that was about it. It’s not like we actually celebrated it or anything. I mean we went out to a nice restaurant. But we do that all the time.
Anyway. Y’all made this old geezer feel pretty special today. And happy.
Thanks again.

I’ve a crazy busy day but wanted to check in and say I’m still so grateful to be sober even though I’ve thought about having a drink more than a few times. I wish everyone a great sleep(or a great day) depending where you are.

Yes yes I already said everything I wrote and I talk about constantly about it. But maybe my actions as I slip few times a month speaks more than my words? And she does not takes my words for granted. After all in her eyes I do not have problem and she does not takes it seriously.
Anyway, I already said everything to her yesterday, and how I was going to AA and they advises not to go to party and groups where people are using. I said her that it would be good idea not to go if there will be pressure given to me. I said either I will not drink or I will not go at all.
She said ok, you need to go, it will be first time I will meet her family. It is important meeting. Well there are still plenty time so we will see how it goes.
I think every cards are open now, and there is nothing much more I can do here. Serenity prayer here.
Thank You, Friends.

Boxing fights are a huge trigger for me and where I live boxing is going on all the time.
To stop the endless cycle I decided just not to go, or to watch the fight the next morning.
Last night I decided to watch the fight, I stayed sober and didn’t even consider drinking!!
That was a breakthrough, I enjoyed myself the same, better even and getting up this morning was a pleasure not a burden.
Some of my friends are still partying in another place but me, I’m in a much better place.

I reached my 10 day milestone today! I feel as if I’ve doubled the length of my weekend just by being sober. I pottered about yesterday and looked out for the kids and I’ll do the same today. I’ll get all the things done that I need to, and have time to spare to just chill!
I’m getting a lot out of being part of this community. It’s so good to hear other people’s experiences and to know that I’m certainly not alone.
Thank you everyone. X
