@Minatasha and @BLOODSHOTJOKER you both have almost days!

#Day 1463 
Did a walk yesterday!! A short walk of 5 kilometers but it went! Had almost no pain in my hip. It was so good to be out in nature again and with good compagny to talk with.
Today? Work. And because the new stock arrives I have to work physical hard so no walk today besides walking to work 
And yes @Planipennia this time I am happy to share a nature picture from the yesterday walk. Hope there will be many more to follow, depends on my hip
Have a good wednesday all of you!

I have woken up at 7:30am properly after unsettled sleep, luckily as my dream was just turning into the dreaded trauma im going through nightmare! But i feel dizzy and weird since waking up ?
Anyway im usually up at 4-5am so what woke me up was the 3 cats trying to make there own breakfast 
they had tried to wake me taking it in turns but i wasnt waking up properly and i woke to them dragging the bag of food and the box of wet pouches over to there bowls and thats made my day, so im thinking to get up and go for a swim just do it as if i think about it for too long it wont happen.
Good morning, good evening or afternoon which ever applies to you

Decided to make a check in since a long time, must have been at least half a year ago. Last week my father died after some years of deteriorating health. I knew it was coming but still it happened suddenly. I felt sadness but above all relief. He was suffering a lot and it was so sad for him, it weighed on me. Still i canāt help feeling guilt for feeling relieved. The past ten days were a rollercoaster i realize now, sitting here in his nearly empty house. Thinking about it i realize my sobriety hasnāt really been in danger. I definitely binged on sweets and other foods but alcohol wasnāt a huge temptation. It makes me think iām doing better than i thought. Another feeling that starts to appear is that iām finally free to change my life. Have i felt so restricted because of my dad?? I donāt know yet, i will need more time to reflect on that. Lots of thoughts.

Got my 5 day chip today.
Feeling a little better each day. Went for a run yesterday because I felt like I was crawling out of my skin, only made it 2.5 miles but I melted the anxiety off and I slept amazing after. Not going to drink today! God Bless everyone.

Been for a lovely swim, can feel my strength and stamina are improving very much. I dont feel exhausted either like i had been after going, hmmmm maybe time to add another work out before the swim again.
Going to go to a meeting tonight, hsvent been for a while and i feel like i need to go.
Going to pop to the shops today to pick up my favourite oven pizzas and il lool forward to that when back from the meeting. Its at 7:30pm until 9pm so will keep me busy.
Trying hard not to watch tv yet and keep myself busy. Its getting colder so i think this winter il spend snuggled up in pyjamas with my laptop finishing off my courses i started, keep learning, keep busy and keep evolving.
Have a great day to you all

MĆ©lanieā¦ You are so reflectedā¦ Love your post and how you describe dealing with emotions!
I made similar experiences coping with emotionsā¦ It is a bit harder for a short time to feel things so clearly, but not putting it away (with any kind of diversion like alcohol, drugs, nonsense sex, shopping, eating) is not solving it and not making me able to reflect and work with it.
Feeling it, even for a short time ā¦ Naming it, makes it smaler and brings ease. I will try your technique to āsay basic thingsāā¦ Thank you for that!
Sending hope and ease
