Life in Recovery

Mélanie… You are so reflected… Love your post and how you describe dealing with emotions!
I made similar experiences coping with emotions… 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 … Naming it, makes it smaler and brings ease. I will try your technique to “say basic things”… Thank you for that!

Sending hope and ease :dove::white_flower::cherry_blossom:

Day 27. I didn’t feel like checking in, so I figured I’d better make sure to do it.

Day 61 checking in… :sunglasses:

Nothing special to report.
Life would be better for me without work and unlimited money… :rofl:
And Peace in the world! :white_flower:

Group therapy was nice and helpful.
My new playlist is nice (changed from dramatic to powerful and happy).

Did my strength workout yesterday… :muscle:t2:
Will do another one tonight… :muscle:t2:
And maybe a walk afterwork.

I don’t know, feel like something is missing today.

Hugs, peace, ease… :cherry_blossom::hibiscus::cherry_blossom:
Take care and stay sober! :v:t2::sunglasses:

Day 34. Tomorrow is a meeting with an attorney to figure stuff out. Get a plan. Monday is the first of four court dates over the next five weeks. Staying sober. Scared to death.
