I hear sorry from my husband quite often. I have asked him before to please stop saying it, and just show me. It really means nothing if nothing changes. Iām sorry you had an argument. That always makes me feel off and makes everything else seem 100 percent worse. I hope you feel better soonā„ļø

@aemb and @Benroth Thats amazing congratulations on your 1 year 
@maxwell well im just glad you have found space here thats right for you, il be sure to to pop to that thread more 
cant wait to see the cat one too
@Butterflymoonwoman a good night sleep, some time to yourself and maybe when you feel the timing is right maybe bring it up in a convo that your very sensitive and it affects you for a while after 
@SadMemeQueen Hi i also had a very close friend who passed the same way around this time right now. We have to try and remember them good memories and that they didnt mean to hurt everyone when they went so being happy and celebrating their life is what they would have wanted.
I understand its difficult, especially when we love and care for them, maybe do something this halloween thats on the happy side but partly as a remembrance for them.
Like maybe every Halloween let a chinese lantern up in the sky and say a few words, change this time for reflection on the good parts you enjoyed together and maybe each Halloween it will get easier and you can let off a lantern and enjoy yourself too, you know they wouldnāt want it to make you feel how you are
@Jmillwill congratulations on your 6 months
@Miranda Yayyy im so happy to wake up and see 6 days this is huge im super proud of you this is absolutely amazing to see you get here to this time. Your brain is slowly learning that when the difficult days pop up it cant trick you and this does it make it easier. Im also super proud of you for reaching out here instead of reaching for a drink when things arenāt feeling good - keep doing that it seems to working for you Yayy

#Day 1449 
Difficult day yesterday at work in the drugstore I work in. Had a customer who needed someting to sleep and bursted into tears when we talked because she recently lost her child.
And a regular customer who is very thin came in the shop and now shows anorexic.
It was a scary sight. We talked a bit and I carefully expressed my concerns. She says she has a therapist but I thinks she is heading a hospital intake now. She can barely walk 
She thanked me for our conversation, I hope she felt seen.
Picture is from a couple of lovely old houses in Dordrecht, wich I visited sunday.
I would love to live in such an old house
All the history and stories it carries!
Today? Working, getting our truck with supplies today so a lot to do today. Most of the time we get 3 containers filled and have to fix it with only 2 people(myself included). And in between helping the customers
Breath in breath out, itās only work
Have a good day!!

Its so lovely that you care, and show support to people when they need it.
It sounds very difficult, yet you still go above and beyond to help them. I think this is so nice to see when people care so much, it makes such a difference to so many lives you touch without probably even realising some of too
Thank you for being such a kind caring person to thise who really need it. You are seen too

161 days sober 
Iām feeling a bit better than yesterday. Itās been a bit trying and stressful with the price of living getting so high, interests rates rising more and more, raising children which is expensive! Just a lot of things adding stress- add an almost teenager, who we are trying to shape into a resemblance of a human, to care for himself properly, form good habitsā¦ boys are tricky. I grew up in a house of women, itās so alien to me.
Iām very grateful to be able to budget and keep on top without alcohol in the equation. Iād be drowning right about now, mentally and financially if I didnāt pull my shit together 5 months ago.
Still keeping to my gym and food plan, it feels really good to keep that promise to myself and really keep showing up for myself again. Itās showing as time goes on, and that fills me with pride again. 18 months ago I was in a really depressed and unhealthy place.
Itās still raining and miserable here, apparently spring has sprung and all we have to show for it is angry swooping magpies at the moment haha.
Anyway thatās whatās going on here, thanks for reading if you are.
Stay sober friends

Day 20. Funny way to start the day. This morning my partner asked me if I had a drink on my way home last night. She said she thought she smelled alcohol on my breath. What a relief to be honest and genuinely be able to say ānoā to that question. Iām not sure what she smelled that seemed like alcohol, but I didnāt do it! Been clean for 20 days and Iām so happy about it. Have a great day friends.
