Having some hard feelings this morning and really trying to address them and figure out what’s causing it. A little frustrated, anger, sadness. Maybe the weather, maybe just one of those days I’ll pull myself out of it, hitting a meeting and group much love everyone

Reached 90 days sober yesterday. Mom is getting better finally after 4 months in the hospital. Went hiking in New Hampshire this weekend and climbed 4 peaks over 4k in elevation. Life is good

That’s such a hard spot to be in. I do think what u are planning to do (continue giving space and staying sober) is the best plan right now. All u can do is continue showing her that ur serious about ur recovery and that ur willing to make things work. Ultimately we have no control over others. But if you do your part (like ur doing now), at least u know that uv done everything u could. Relationship stuff tho just hurts the heart. I’m sorry ur going thru this. Just keep doing what ur doing tho 🙂 ur doing so well!

Congratulations on quitting smoking 10 months ago! Not an easy task. I quit smoking (due to my Asthma) years ago and it was tough! So proud of you for that! I also gained weight when I quit. But thankfully weight can be changed. The benefits of quitting smoking definitly outweigh the weight gain. How do u feel after quitting? Have u noticed any benefits yet?

Wth?? That would make me crazy too. Put a big spotlight out there. Don’t engage if she’s that unstable. Put on some nice music.
AC/DC on full blast, lol JK!!

Wow!!! Yet she is obviously not well and potentially unstable. She is trespassing on ur property (as well others) and then making threats. She is obviously capable of harming others as she did that to her husband. Does something honestly have to happen before the police take this seriously?! Smh

🔆 Morning Check In 🔆
**Day 161**
Really feeling good this morning! Woke up at 530 for my upper body workout. Arms and back are sore 🙂 Ate a good breakfast and now having my coffee until my Bible Group zoom mtg happens in 10 min. Did some makeup and feeling good overall so far today.
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!

Your skin looks really good, Dana! That clean, cold Canada air helps! Not this burning sun down here. 😘

If I’m honest not overly I’m healing from a 28 Yr smoking habit so I believe I’m still in the healing process it’s definitely knocked my mental health but I’m going through the motions BC I know it’s definitely something that needs to be done for my health and like all addictions by the end I was not enjoying it and doing it completely out of habit. And not wabti g to deal with the detox process.
