Day 57. Trying to survive the worst digestive symptoms I had in 10 years of IBD diagnosis. It is hard to understand why, because I did not drink alcohol for almost two months and I am eating right. Maybe it is mind issue. Anyway, trying to stay positive and stablishing other priorities in life like doing things I wanted to do in a long time. Learning french for example.
Checking in at day 251.
My health and my throat are feeling a bit better, I kind of have my voice back. It seems that this variant of the flu is prevalent. I canāt remember the last time I was sick apart from Covid a month ago. Strange that in addition to emotions and physical pain, drugs can probably also suppress the flu.
I just took this picture during a walk with clients here on the property among the animals. After work I will seriously start with the assignment that my sponsor has given me. Recovery is in so many small things that are still invisible to me and I want to make them all visible. So letās goš¤
Lordy, need some strength to deal with my son. I know he is struggling at school and I want to help him, but he doesnāt seem to want to help himself. Instead of just getting his head down and doing the homework that is left over from when he left it at school, which would have taken 30 - 45 minutes maybe, and then he could watch YT or play guitar he cried and wailed and had a fit, and it took double that. He is thirteen, old enough to be able to comprehend that if he just finishes it he can do something that he enjoys. And of course my daughter starts again with the why are you always paying attention to him. It was so hard not to say harsh things, my patience really was tried to the limit.
Checking in on day 12, feel pretty good. Still having stomach issues, figure itās the decade plus of vodka and all the years before with beer and wine. Iād rather have this than start drinking again. Stay safe and sober everyone!
One week shy of 6 months clean. No fronts tho⦠Lol
Iām sitting in deep resentments, hurt, anger and sorrow.
My ex stole our three youngest. My blood family have celebrated all holidays without me. Sober or not, itās been this way for years. Iām beginning to hate them for it. They side with my abuser. And I hate him too.
These feelings will pass. My God is greater than my feelings.
I donāt want anyoneās inputā¦itās why I rarely share these feelings bc I donāt appreciate others filters.
Yesterday I was full of hope and joy. This morning Iām filled with hurt and anger. And itās ok. I will not wallow in this. It will not take me out to my vomit again of alcohol, drugs and some disgusting, gaslighting man. I sit in this and will work through it. I acknowledge my feelings and then will let them pass.
Day 696 clean and sober today. Iām sick but itās my day off so Iām going to rest, watch movies and nap all day. I hope everyone has an amazing day, love you guys!!!
Hey Micheal, being accountable and putting action to your accountability are very different things. Itās my opinion that anyone who has the chance to go to rehab is pretty fucking lucky, I have never had the opportunity. Ten days is nothing compared to the years of pain and suffering that you could be subjecting your family to as you yo-yo back and forth with active addiction. Honesty, Openmindedness and Willingness are what we all need in order to get better and I see that you are struggling a little bit with these pieces. Be honest with yourself, if you cant do that you are fuckedā¦
