Oh Kristi :cry:
That is so horrible.
What a shock for you and your family.
I am so sorry to read this.
My condolences on your loss of such a fine man in your life.
I will be praying for you and your mom and family in this most difficult time.

Second check in today
I did it again, I commented under a video of a person that keeps on spreading medical misinformation on TikTok.
And what did I get? Not a discussion, a whole Shitstorm. I tried to explain my point of view and used my knowledge, but it was useless.
In the end I deleted my comment and gave up.
But I’m so angry, why am I so angry? Oof!
I really have to learn to just let go, even if it’s completely wrong what people say on social media. It’s a minefield.
As I said in the past I maybe delete my TikTok account. But there is a lot of really good stuff too.
Have to think about that.

Oh Kristi :frowning: my deepest condolences to you and ur family. I have no words other than sending you a virtual hug ur way :people_hugging: Im glad ur thinking this thru and that u didnt go straight to the bottle to fix how u felt. Alcohol and drugs never “fix” anything. Those emotions will still be there. I do understand tho that “pull” to want to escape and stop feeling. But ur doing an amazing job working thru something so difficult. Please stay connected to all of us and let us help u thru this tough time.

Insecure feelings are coming back as he is triggering me. I will come back focusing on myself, Selflove and my way of healing. :heartpulse:

Today I ate very good and comforty, filling batteries… but still feeling tired and dizzy. Maybe it’s weather. My blood test was excellent… So let’s hang out a bit and maybe have a relaxing swim workout just for fun and not the longest distance.

:hugs:

I started reading the ‘Living sober’ book by AA. Really interesting! I noticed someone shared it here a few days ago so I thought why not!
As it turned out it was a great descision to download it and read it. Made my sunday a little bit better!

I hope you all are doing as good as you can.

For today I won’t drink. Odaat.

Day 52

Knots in my stomache
I feel alone
An emotional / frustrating roller coaster of an evening. My daughter having major anxiety getting ready for a 4 day canoe trip with her school. She wanted to go, but was stressed and worried. So much to organize. We all tried our best, but emotions were high. My husband and I trying to remain calm until we just couldn’t.
We got through it
We all talked after as a family after a few slammed doors but I still couldn’t sleep.
We all recognized the parts we played and how we could have responded and I think we learned through this experience but it’s still so draining.
I drove her to the bus really early this morning.
She will be ok. She was smiling.
I came home and cried
I feel alone.

5 years ago I was crashing on a floor in an apartment that was about to have the power shut off. My parents had thrown me out and were no longer speaking to me. My friends wouldn’t answer when I called because all I did was ask for money. I was stealing convenient store candy bars for food. Considered throwing myself off a bridge. Good times.

Anyway I’ll have 5 years sober in 10 days thanks to AA. Here’s a picture of my parents and my kids out at the pumpkin patch.
