@HillbillyChris congrats on your 374 days.
That’s sounds tough, like the boss has just let this go and is concentrating more on his ‘new’ project. Is he planning to transfer the patients over to the bigger place or he literally is just hiding away leaving you guys to pick up the peices and put back together what he is leaving behind with hardly any resources.
This is terrible.
I hope your okay, it must be really difficult to watch members of people families care being reduced and there not much you can do about it.
Your a very kind person to care.
You have to also look after yourself, and people walking out is putting pressure on you and the rest of the workers left. Hopefully something can be done.
@miranda 5 days is amazing!! Keep going strong one day at a time
@Mno congratulations on your 1179 days, I love the morning pics ( its morning here)
@michaeljlogan74 great to see you posting, and some nice news to hear you have an app with a therapist and that your meds should be in stock.
Your doing amazing 10 day keep pushing through … you got this !
@icebear hope you start feeling better, congratulations on 444 days that’s amazing time.
Take some time for yourself
@cat-i-am Thank you so much, that’s a nice idea actually to buy something for myself.
Oh thank you so much its morning here 6:37am and it is lovely to read this.
I definitely feel okay today, and I’m still happy and proud of myself. I know I cant stay sober on my parents and my familys validations.
Your so kind thank you so much
Your such a big part of this community and just want you to know you appreciated so very much
Good morning Chris, this is something we are seeing more of in the uk.
There is so much greed about at the cost of lives and dignity. And reading your account highlights the fact that it is not just the residents that suffer but the hard working caring staff that actually give a shit.
I can only imagine how stressful this makes your day . I always try and look for positives and those are clearly visible as you are better than your boss being yourself a caring compassionate human being with a conscience. You are here sharing and still have another day sober mate.
@DryIn785@maxwell@Misokatsu and everyone who has taken time or thought about me… Thank you so much, I appreciate you saying this. You all mean alot me, to be able to come here and have this space full of us all makes me so proud that each and eveyone of us are on this journey together, wether were on day1 or day 1000 we are all together doing one day at a time
#Day 1441
Travelday ahead. In istanboel now. Yesterday was a travelday as well but that was a domestic flight. Today we fly back to the Netherlands: home!
I had a great holiday and have seen an done loads. Glad I have a few days at home left to chill
Thank you today I feel much better.
Your doing great too, keep pushing through it does get easier, although life is an emotional rollercoaster- riding it sober is easier.
Day 3 and a week off work and I’m becoming competent in the art of procrastinating. I’m thinking of it as my chrysalis strage. When I venture outside shortly I’ll be a whole new me ready for anything. Joking aside I need this rest and I am enjoying it.
Plenty to do in the garden today but before all that time for a cup of tea and a sit down and think. Before I sit down I need to get out of bed.
Wishing you all a good day today.
Day 12. Middle of the night. Flooded with anxiety.
I’ve had so much change this year. I left a career of 14 years. I left my faith. I left my marriage. I lost all my friends. I entered into a new relationship. I was recently hospitalized for a drunken suicidal episode. And now I’m going sober. Rebuilding is difficult.
Congratulations on your 11 months! You should be very proud of yourself! You’re such an active member in this forum, and it’s so nice and helpful to have you around!
I’m really sorry to read that you’re not getting the recognition you’re expecting from your family, that must be very hurtful. When I told my family some months ago I hadn’t had a drop in over half a year, they couldn’t care less, so I know how that feels. I hope you did something nice with your 5 hours of time, having a few glasses in the pub would only bring you back to square one. What did you finally do with your time? Once again, congrats!
Congratulations @Twizzlers , Congratulations!
Your anniversary is such a big deal and so are you!!
Have a wonderful day and think about how special you are and what a big difference you have made in your life and everyone’s around you… (despite how some act… )
Celebrate and let us celebrate w you! Super Proud of you, Twizzle! Enjoy your anniversary day!
Thank you so much
It’s this evening I have 5 hours to myself and iv decided that I’m best to come home and go for a swim and go to a meeting and just keep it as a regular day, because I have learnt over the past months that a regular day I can manage so I’m best to stick with it, keep it simple.
How are you doing?
@Alisa oh thank you, everyone here Is making me smile so much, its is nice to have all these messages and care shown by so many thanks again
