I’m so happy for you! It’s such a huge accomplishment, but it’s also ODAAT. It does make it confusing in the feels. And we’ll do it again tomorrow.
Enjoy your cake.

Day 8. I taught a really fun class this morning, “Hip Hop Hooray” Yoga Sculpt. Classes were themed this weekend because it’s our studio’s Anniversary. It was a good sized class too. I’ve also been noticing more signs from the Universe reminding me I’m on the right track. Good start to Sunday. Hoping this sets the tone for the week. Have a great day everyone!:sparkles::white_heart::sparkles:

Thanks @Twizzlers. It’s been such a good positive weekend in so many ways. Yet when I dropped my son back to his mum I was hit with the biggest wave of hurt and all I wanted to do was dive into oblivion again.

I didn’t and I’m sat here processing the sadness at not being there and the hurt.

But it’s thanks to the support of yourself and the people on the forum that I can do that, one day at a time.

2006 days. I went through some hard things over the last couple of days and got through them sober. I had a fender bender that was my fault on Friday, and I found out also on Friday that my son was lying to me about a homework cut-off date so that he wouldn’t have to do the work. I emailed his teacher and that’s how I knew he wasn’t telling me the truth. I tried to get him to do the work yesterday since he has the chance to bring his grade from a ‘D’ up to a ‘C’ in history. He completely shut down. It was horrible. So I took his laptop away. I told him when he was ready to do the first little part of his assignment he could have his laptop back. At about 6 pm he came downstairs and said he wanted his laptop back and would do the work. Big Mommy win!

I just had a look up about RA i wasnt sure what is was.
My mum is has been unwell for the best part of her life, she is always in constant pain and that on its own brings about mental health issues. You seem positive about your experiences and ways to deal with them and see the situation in a brighter way, this isnt always easy but it does do us good to see the good.
Hope the surgeries you still need to have help. Even if its just a little.

This is the best way to take life on. Believing that when something is happening that doesnt seem good at the time that the lord has a reason and we just wont see that reason until later on.

I think this is something lots of us here can understand. Iv been thinking the best way for myself to tackle this is be here more and to actually get off my butt and get to some face to face meetings, where i can maybe make some new friends or just have a place to go where people understand, and i can be myself- who i am now.

@SelfLove_42 I was addicted to gaming back in the days. I remember when I bought myself an Xbox 360 on my 18th bday. It was my first time gaming online. I would go hours without taking breaks or eating. I got sick af one night. I still play occasionally. It’s hard with the kids now. They took over my TV lol. Good luck with your recovery.

@michaeljlogan74 good luck with your interviews. I love it here in SoCal. I live about 8 minutes from the beach driving. It’s crazy because I’ve only gone a few times this year. I need to go more often.

@Sunny11 Congrats on triple 6s!

@Cloyboy89 Congrats on 30 days!

Day 239 AF gonna drop off the kids with thier abuelos and chill with the wifey. We both need a breather. Have a great sober day everyone! Keep pushing. Take care and stay safe.
