Hi, I just read your reply I havent been on for about a week properly. Just had a little cry and prayer for you, and I have you in my prayers and your son and your family as a whole. :pray::pray:
You are a caring person. You do have so much love to give and you do give it.
Our addictions dont make us who we are, just simply something we experienced.
I wish I could give you a big squeeze real hug :hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs:
Your a special woman, I’m so glad your realising your worth so much, and you are very kind and loving. You and your son have a place in my heart. I will send some happy healings energy xxxxx

Day 299
I have took a turn this week, to get up and make my life better, Iv had to take a stand although all the emotional pain is there I have to keep pushing through, i feel like iv been reunited with my body and soul are finally at the same place and frequency.
I have been swimming every day, and doing a fitness class too.
Well today I am aching every where… proud of my self, as all this being more spiritual and self care and exercise, I feel I’m doing it, slowly getting better mentally and my brain is levelling out from quitting alcohol and soon will be at a place where I can start really giving back to the world, and helping others.
Just thought I’d check in, as I’ve been reading a book in the evenings where I’d usually be here.
And I have missed being here.
:hugs::purple_heart:

I get it Maxine. Being sober isn’t easy, but I do think it takes more time. I felt up and down a lot during my long sober streak, but after starting drinking again, here I am again because even though being sober doesn’t make everything better, it’s definitely better than the alternative. I want to look in the mirror and like who I see. I want to be someone I want to be around. I want clarity and truth and sadness and pain and the ability to feel true happiness. We are all on our own path, but I do hope yours leads you back here sooner than later. No judgements, just hugs. You played a huge part in me sticking around too❤️

Hi Kat here checking in 52 days clean and sober.

Slept good in fact too good, til noon, not good. Need to cut down on sleeping meds (been using Valerian). Need to get back to the gym in the worst way. Dunno what is stopping me. Need to Just Do It.

Need to go do a urine sample for my addictions doc today, what a blessing to be clean and not have to worry about it or sneak and hide. Homegroup meeting tonight. Reading recovery literature.

Love you all!
Kat

Good afternoon all. Checking in on day 340. My patience has been put to the test the last few days and I feel I’ve done well. Have had a problematic neighbor when trying to install a privacy fence. Moved it back a foot into my property to avoid any conflict and still getting nasty messages and emails. But what can you do?! Fence is going to look very nice when it’s finished and I’m glad the money went towards that instead of booze like it would of! Hope everyone has a great day and takes care and stays safe.

Edit: Covid is at its peak at the moment it feels. I’m just drained physically from even the slightest of tasks. But besides that nothing to complain of. Hopefully another day or two and I’ll be right back at it.

I paid to have a nice fence installed and gave up 12” of my property and still can’t please them. Not much more that I can do. I even put the nice finished side towards them and offered to stain it whichever color they would like. I literally did all I could do but met resistance the entire way. But I’m within all codes and laws.
