Probably a lot of spices with expired shelf-life. We had to get rid of many of those. :wink:

Wow Iā€™m really grateful that u didnā€™t drink. U fought and won! I love what u said:

I love this! In the problem I ALWAYS felt like I HAD to follow thru with every thought and urge. My emotions and urges to use dictated what I was going to doā€¦ which always ended up with using. Itā€™s different today but it was a huge change of thinking. You challenged those thoughts and were able to actually see that addictive thinking trying to pull u backā€¦ and u didnā€™t let it.
So freaking proud of u!

Day 260

This is my first post for 6 days and itā€™s written with a very heavy heart and tear in my eye.

My partners mum passed away 5 days ago, sheā€™d been poorly but it was unexpected having only been medically fit for discharge from hospital 6 days earlier.

She collapsed in front of my partner and I tried my best to resuscitate her but couldnā€™t all my training and effort could not save our queen. Even though only 7% of people survive with early CPR I feel guilty for not being able to keep her with us. I hope and pray that she knows I did everything I could. Rest in peace mum. I loved you more than youā€™d ever know and just like I love my own mum too! X :heart::broken_heart:

Iā€™m not struggling with my sobriety, Iā€™m thankful I can be there for my partner and children and help them through this.

Hug your loved ones closer than ever!

Much love to you all.

Day 10081

Something turned. Donā€™t know what exactly. Perhaps it was finally opening up about being in a dark place for over a week. Iā€™m not 100% yet but I feel so much better. I think I was riding a health related pink cloud and it burst into thunderstorms. Someone I highly respect reminded me to live in the moment. Thatā€™s all we really have and letting fear focused thoughts of the future ruins this moment we dwell in. So although itā€™s difficult to live with uncertainty I am going to do my best to put one foot in front of the other and focus on today.

@Butterflymoonwoman oh honey congrats on six months! You have come so far and I love watching your journey :heart:

Borrowed my daughterā€™s car to run to the store last night. Was only gone ten minutes. Thank god! A trip to Walmart would have been a bigger disaster. I walked into my room and my 50 gallon tank sprang a leak. The pressure had it spraying three feet across the room. I flew around grabbing buckets, pans and towels. My oldest grandson dumped the buckets as I filled more until I got the water level below the leak. Then we cleaned up the mess. Sealed the tank and had to leave it to cure overnight. Poor babies are midsize angelfish who love deep water. I worried they wouldnā€™t make it overnight but they are still alive. Crazy ending to my night lol.

I had to make a decision to drop out of the fitness thread. I canā€™t fulfill my promise to walk every day because I donā€™t know from day to day what my strength level is going to be. Iā€™m okay with that. It is what it is and no sense throwing extra stress my way.

Have a blessed day everyone :heart:

My deepest condolences on the passing of ur family member. U did everything u could and I truly feel like she knows this. Most people I feel are not even trained in CPR so the fact that u knew this and was able to provide her with this as soon as u could, is remarkable. And she was very lucky to have both of u there with her :rose:
