Checking in on day 393. Just got finished with work and was attacked within 20 minutes of coming in the door. Hadnāt even gotten my shoes off yet and was already being laid into. Started as a conversation about haircuts and she brought up a picture from four years ago that I sent her. She asked me again, as she did the first time, how many other women I sent that picture to. It was simply a picture of me from the shoulders up when I first woke up. Nothing special to be sending to anyone. Was brought up again four years later and when I reassured her she was the only person who received it, she started trying to point out facts to catch me in a lie about who I sent that to. Was told yesterday I cannot build a new rifle because she is not comfortable with me having another weapon in the house as I havenāt been sober long enough. Continued to say she will never be comfortable. Iām a proud gun owner and builder and own many now. There just seems to be an extreme effort of control or dominance from her lately and I have no idea why. It has been clarified she makes a shit ton more than I do, Iām a disabled, busted up, alcoholic vet and canāt do physical work anymore. So I make up with it in housework and part time work. But at about my wits end, Iāve reached out for help from the VA and just with my pension that they give me, I am unable to get any assistance in housing or food or anything. Itās laughable to think a person could live on a VA pension, and even my therapist has cancelled on me four times in a row now. Just taking it odaat, but teeth are grinding all day everyday.

Day 196
Saw more of my family. It was a lot. Got offered cider, beer, wine, liquor. I declined.
Its all too fucked up in my head. Trying to not be petty and myopic and instead be better.
Not caught up on this thread but solidarity with everyone whos been in the presence of doc and not used.

Never heard of something like that. But I do understand what he means because percussion gives so much energy! Itās a kind of addiction by itself. I almost play for 10 years now.
I will Google on your friends drum circle ore something simular. You made me curious about it. Thank you!

Good morning wonderful people

Day 6 and Im going to make it another drink free day. Ive been down to the beach and that was really atmospheric stormy seas, waves crashing and the sun was shining (photos on nature thread). Its got to be a good day when you start it that way.

Iām sorry to hear that political and religious topics split your family and that you feel to be on the outside. I canāt give you any hints, but I hope that it maybe a little different this time.
