Spoke with my wife today. We are separated due to my job and Iā€™m struggling with the situation. Iā€™m lonely, but so is she. This move has been tough. I know that I am becoming ā€œthe boy who cried wolfā€. Every time or most of the time, Iā€™m crying and telling my wife how hard my life is. This has to get exhausting for her. I know she is at her wits end. I donā€™t want to push her away. I MUST buck up and deal with my own shit!

My life is hard right now, but I pray that I will persevere through this. This is all temporary and I must look at it that way. I need to deal with my mental health ASAP. Taking the time to reflect and just BE with my thoughts is what needs to happen. I feel that I am pushing her away, due to my anxiety and ā€œpoor meā€ attitude. Iā€™m scared.

Any advice would be appreciated. How do I make a forward move and begin to get strong again. Iā€™ve lost my confidence. How do I get it back? Thoughts?

Hi, congrats on 100 days, a great milestone. The audio book read by you sounds a good idea, how old is your daughter?
Iā€™m a bit like you, I refuse to put the heat on until I really really have to. I end up sounding like my parents when we were kidsā€¦ Put a jumper on!

Hey, thanks so much. Iā€™m feeling accomplished :blush:
My daughter is 25 :joy: so she might just ask me why Iā€™m being weird :joy: but I think itā€™s a cute idea x
Iā€™m all wrapped up but it wasnā€™t cosy without the heating on. Iā€™ll be checking my app tomorrow though to see how much it cost :joy:
Thanks again

Yeah, that can be really hard, i remember those times. I am proud of you for seeing it for what it is, your self awareness has grown in leaps and bounds. Great work. :heart:

58 days clean from alcohol
39 days clean from toxic relationship (further cleaning up in this topic ongoing)

Bedtime checkin, super tired as I am just coming from the pool :swimming_woman:t2:ā€¦ Also had Yoga and a walk. Enjoyed family time today. :woman_in_lotus_position:t2::walking_woman::revolving_hearts:

My mood is still very positive. :pray:t2:

Modified some plan for weightloss, as I think I am ready for it nowā€¦ As I mentioned healthy weightloss with positive body picture! Not districting myself to the limitā€¦ Nourishing with healthy food, high protein, strength training and the sports I am already doing (Swimming, Yoga, Biking) and not at leastā€¦ Positive mindset, relaxing, napping :hibiscus:

Yesterday and also today I had short few minute sequences of bad ideasā€¦ :no_entry:
I would not call it a craving, as it passed faster.

But I had the very concrete bad ass idea of ā€œhow about buying 2 bottles of wine, drinking one, re-contacting and meeting my toxic on.off.shity.friendship.plus-thing-guyā€¦ Drinking the other on his balcony.ā€ Fuck off.
It was likeā€¦ ā€œhow about doing something crazyā€ā€¦ ā€œhow about breaking outā€!

Might identify loneliness as a causeā€¦
Anyway, I stayed strongā€¦
Whispering to myselfā€¦
I deserve positive and healing relationships!
I am valuable.
I deserve to be treated well.

Have a wondeful night, whenever itā€™s time in your part of the world :dizzy:

Sending lots of love :heart::revolving_hearts:
Peace and ease :hibiscus:
