Thanks you, that means a lot to me. I’m feeling a bit better now. Just really really exhausted. So thankful I don’t have to work tonight.

Thank you so much girl!!! I haven’t responded much to anyone lately on here but I have read ur progress! I see alot of change within u… especially ur thinking and how u approach things. This is very good progress I feel :slight_smile: I truly feel like the disease of addiction/alcoholism centres is our minds. I have always thot about how changing thinking and perspective and adding spirituality makes a huge diff! For me it does anyway. Recovery is truly amazing and such a gift!

Day 5 is huge. I understand your anger with yourself, but if you can learn from it and move forward from here that’s what counts. I hope you can forgive and love yourselfā™„ļø

The anxious mind feels like this. Filling out a form for vehicle registration, hoping i did it right. Took me ages to be motivated. Going to do a walking meditation tonight and be glad I tackled some paperwork. Yuck!!
Impermanence :arrow_right: On to the next. :v: :heart:

Day 21 of no self harm.

Windy again last night so I didn’t get much sleep. Took a nap so I’m not overly exhausted. Going to the library tomorrow to work on school. Hopefully my head is clear enough to get some done

Good morning, embrace a new, sunny sober spring day. @emi congratulations for 1 week and I admire you for overcoming all those obstacles in your life. @skweeot Let that anger go out, do not keep the feelings buried inside eating your mind. By time, it will be better. @StarK31 Congratulations, so proud of you. @Butterflymoonwoman Sorry for your hubby’s suffering, I had goosebumps reading. :frowning:
Wish you all a sober and nice day, may God be with you, see you in the evening. Day 6: I do not drink today.

Coffee. Feeling much better this morning. Slept well. Woke up to my cat curled up and asleep on the bed. Not sure that ever happened before. Gives me a warm and cozy feeling. It took fifteen years of building trust to get her there. It’s worth it.

I saw a job I’m going to apply for, in an addiction clinic. First time I’m going to describe my own experiences with substance abuse and how I tackled them in an application. Scary but exciting. Feeling positive about it. Even when it gets me nowhere it will be good practise.

Nothing changes when nothing changes. I got to take a chance sometimes. We all do. While staying sober and clean or nothing will come of anything. Have as good a day as you can friends. Love form Amsterdam where yesterday I spent some good time in the spring sun in a friend’s allotment. Imagining how beautiful it will be in a month. Or two. It takes work. But it’s so worth it!

…126 million seconds…4 years if I did the math in my head correctly. This morning at work, I walked into a lump of poop. I am sober, I will get through it…life is good. There will always be an obstacle. Stay sober friends!

Hey Everyone! Day 24 here. Feeling tired today. Had to get up early today and I didn’t sleep well. I had the windows open alarm night to help cool the place down, and what happens? The garbage men decide to come by and pick up a few dumpsters for my building at around 2:30 this morning. Woke me right up. Had a hard time falling asleep after that. Going to be a long day today. If I’m lucky, I might be able to get an afternoon nap in to help boost me to the end of the day.

Have a great day everyone!
