Evening Check in
Day 163
Been a frustrating evening BUT even with what happened, I kind of felt like I handled it in a better way. My hubby was kind of cranky. He was hungry and extremely worn out as he works outside all day in the crazy heatwave weāve been having. So I donāt blame him. He made a comment saying I didnāt do something when I really did. I had the text message to him to prove it lol He completely dismissed the whole topic like he always does when heās in the wrong. No apology or talking about it of any kind. Anywayā¦ I couldāve held onto this and been fuming and then fallen into that pity party trap, but I actually pulled myself out of it this time. I felt msyelf going there. I could hear my inner dialogue going into āpoor meā, and I shut it down and just chose to continue being kind and taking care of what I had to take care of. Focused on me. I put our boy to bed and then I showered and made conversation with my hubby. Iām eating frozen yogurt right now and enjoying my evening. I really feel proud of this bcuz I often go into a pity party when me and hubby argue. I take things very personally. But I think I did well tonight 
Iām so proud of the way you handled the situation! Youāre doing amazing
Taking the high road takes effort, well done 
Day 716
Just one more day of exams, next Tuesday, then the summer vacation 
well, after the exam grading is done 
. Heard there is some drama among the bosses at work, which I seriously want to keep out of, but have been asked for my āopinionā twice now, my opinion is I want a quiet life and to leave work at work!
Struggling a little with binge eating and resentments. Emotional sobriety is always a work in progress. But really glad alcohol has rarely crossed my mind these days, I am enjoying my cold lemon tea, etc, so much. I feel like this summer my repartoire of soft drinks has increased.
Good to see you here Jan. I can relate a lot and keeping in mind of your young age (if I can say this) you are aware of a lot. I still lose my awareness so easily, human maybe or me. Idk.
I think you are doing a great job. 
This is true and I am glad you came to this conclusion. I think it was there all the time but old ways of dealing with the problems were stronger.
Welcome back to the gang 
Day 1208. Recently Iāve been thinking about the question: What is the value of truth?
The anwser runs wide and deep. In the context of sobriety, the first step to becomimg sober is a truth about the self. I am an addict.
If I lie and say yeah, I can control it, a month or two long bender later the truth reintroduces itself when the lie falls apart. Itās staring me in the face when I look in the mirror and what Iām surrounded by.
If I want to get better I have to honest, and value the truth I have found in the case of my self. I am a drug and alcohol addict. I cannot control my use of whatever substance gets me high.
So in this case the truth is valuable because it lets me move forward by making a decision based on an accurate understanding of my behavior. It keeps me sober.
Welcome back JenĆ©, just donāt stop trying.
A little late at the party, but congratulations for the 3 years Shay! 
And glad I didnāt looked over your 4 years milestone 
Congratulations!!
Thatās amazingly hard to do. You were able to let go and move on and not let his attitude ruin your night. Iām glad youāre proud of yourself!!! Iām proud of you too!!!

Nothing to declare, still as deaf as an old lady 
Still sober and heading for work.

Coffee. Had a lovely day yesterday, visiting two of my favourite places outside of town, picking some apples and digging some spuds, cooking with the stuff I got, making a good distance riding my bike too. Didnāt get to doing my home work for todayās experiential expertise course so about to do that now. One task at a time. Sober and clean.
Have as good a day as you all can friends. Make it clean and sober or nothing will come of it. One day at a time. Love from the edge of Amsterdam.
62 days clean. My serenity is on the titter totter but at the same time Iāve never had it so good. Iām blessed. Iāve been growing my relationship with my higher power Which I choose to God and is the spiritual principles of recovery. Thank you @Mephistopheles for helping me in that section. Iāve been finding more balance in my recovery lately with meetings, work, family, and some women Iāve been spending time with lol. Iām having fun in my recovery trying to acknowledge my self centeredness daily with surrendering multiple times a day, I have some peace of mind today, and love in my heart Iām grateful for that. Soon I will be going over my 3rd step with my sponsor to move in to step 4. I Never thought I had the ability to gain that quality of lifeā¦ itās slowly but surely happening today. As a man I listen to on a podcast says āI donāt know why my life was saved but Iām going to do my best to live a life that was worth savingā. Stay blessed in recovery famāļø
