Wow this spunds completely defeating. No one needs to get harped on as soon they walk thru the door 
especially over something from 4 years ago that uv already spoken about and tried to reassure her on. I wish i had some helpful advice but i honestly dont know why she is acting this way and why shes taking this all out on u. Im sorry ur going thru this chris

Thanks. Yeah. Me too. I guess I just donāt understand if they think Iām going to give their kids communist manifesto picture books just cause my thoughts lean that way. I wouldnāt. I just want to play makeup and feed them icecream and send them home all wired and sticky like an aunt should

Woof. Sorry for the whining yesterday. Iām over it. Day 24 and itās going to be another busy day of EITHER packing up my office and selling all my junk OR doing a big part of the rv remodel. We think thereās some mold in there and honestly Iām afraid to look too close. Itās fine. Donāt peel back the wall paper just let it poison us. I donāt need to know how bad it is

In the midst of day 3. Feeling a little better today. Starting reading the Big Book and logged into the 24 online meeting just to listen. Too much of a chicken to go to a brick and mortar meeting or even to join in online yet. All in good time I think. Iām very greatful for this opportunity again. This fire inside me to be successful is much different than before. Before I āsort of wantedā to quit, now there is no other option in my head. Thank you all and God bless.

Hey,
Thank you for your post, it resonates so much with my own experiences.
Sorry to read youāre having such a distressing time. Iāve been where you are, it is really hard living that every day. I donāt have a miracle fix except keep pushing forward. Nothing stays the same. Things do change, if you keep going. Thereās a quote from Don Quixote:
āFor neither good nor evil can last for ever; and so it follows that as evil has lasted a long time, good must now be close at hand.ā
That got me through some of the darkest hrs.
I used to think my life was so meaningless, that existence was meaningless. What was the point of anything? I spoke about this with someone and they said that life doesnāt give us meaning but rather it is us who give meaning to our lives, in whatever way we can. I didnāt really get it at the time but I see how true that is now. If there were no obstacles, what would your perfect day look like, what kind of life would you like to have? Even just thinking about it is a great step forward as it changes thoughts from negative to positive. What would that great day look like for you?
I see that youāve tried going to groups before but it hasnāt worked out. What kind of groups were you going to? Were they based around your own interests? You need to connect with others in some way. How would you like that to look?
Hang in there, Daniel, good days are on their way

Day 79ā¦. I am incredibly grateful to AA, all of the hearts that have held me and carried me. Most importantly I am grateful to know behind all those loving hearts is God. Perfectly arranging my path for recovery and service. Love to you all!

Typhoons are pretty common. We have storm shutters if it looks really bad. I used to be more worried about them but they happen every year repeatedly so I donāt anymore.

Day 38
Starting over is a luxury. if you decide to
wake up and choose something different, something
better, embrace it. Some people will try to project
limitations, labels and even fear on you, convincing you
to stay on a level THEY are comfortable
with seeing you atā¦ā¦donāt let them.
My feelings latelyā¦ itās like since I donāt want to be hanging around a bunch of people drinking no more Iām acting funny.
But in reality Iām evolving and becoming a better ME!
I no longer cover my pain and hurt up by drowning it with alcohol.
I sit with it and go through it nowā¦
Have a blessed sober day!
