Day 160 here and it’s an unusual evening here. My daughter is away for two nights at an activity centre in the highlands which is the first time in two and a half years that she’s been away from home overnight without me. I had been hospitalised for three weeks and then the kids were both kept in foster care for a further three weeks once I was allowed home, so it was a very difficult time for her and she’s been understandably clingy ever since. It was lovely to see how excited she was getting into the taxi with one of the other girls. She barely turned to say goodbye!
So it’s just my son and I for the weekend and we’re both kinda missing her.
I’m not sure why exactly but I’ve been very tired all week. I’ve really just been focusing on getting the essentials achieved, cooking dinner cleaning and laundry etc and then resting as much as I can. I had an unexpected trip into school today as my daughter had left her reading glasses on the kitchen table this morning. That was an hour and three quarters round trip by bus through heavy showers. I was thrilled to hear that she got an award for her use of Gaelic at school today in assembly.
Wishing everyone a peaceful and sober weekend!

Busy day :woman_technologist:t2:
Emotional overwhelming feelings, due to both (!) happy and bad feelings, so I cried in bed afterwork but it was very clarifying! :sleepy::grin::heart_eyes:

  • Eat: bit little, but i ate
  • Move: took a walk while sundown and had a swim workout (2100 meters), short yoga stretch before
  • Nap/Rest during day: non :grimacing:

Will go to bed soon… :grinning::yum::yawning_face::panda_face:

Hugs and love :heartpulse::v:t2:

Day 21. Went to my first AA meeting today and got my 24 hour chip. Pretty excited I get to go back and get my 30 day very soon. I made myself talk, even though I didn’t want to. It was hard to spit out those words but it makes it more real. Really felt welcome there and actually met someone who’s friends of the family (small town, which is partially why I had not gone yet). Overall I really enjoyed the meeting and will definitely go to more. I really want to sincerely thank everyone here. Reading everyone’s posts and everyone that responded to mine with words of encouragement really got me through the first 3 weeks. I can’t wait to keep knocking days out, one day at a time. God bless y’all.

End of day 50. Tuesday is the next court day. Dreading it. I feel like none of my progress matters … only that I had one really bad day 50 days ago where I threatened my own life. Nobody got hurt and I didn’t attempt suicide, yet I’m still considered dangerous. So dumb. Still pressing on.

Day 19 here,

Feeling a little flat today, have had a few things to deal with surrounding people in my life. I seem to be the person others reach out to forn help when in need.

Theres been a few in the last month or two.

Today im grateful for my sobriety and this app and all the amazing humans on here!

About to eat some lunch so hopefully that’ll pick me up a bit do a few more chores and hopefully get around to polishing the wheels on my car for tonight.

Coffee. Time to get moving or I’ll be late for work. I’ll be late for work anyway because they changed the train schedule (read: cut in it). Another reason why I’m saving for a :blue_car:. Anyway. I had a good rest. I’m sober and clean. And I see @jjc92 Joseph and @marcusmaximus2000 Marc both celebrating their quadruple figure Sobriety! Huge congrats guys!

I know my day will be good. Sober and clean. Just like I expect from all of you becasue it’s the only way for all of us. Have as good a weekend as you all can friends. Love from my little square.

#Day 1480 :seedling:
Today? Work. But for the first hour just me chilling with my cat and a cup of coffee. Nothing more, but enough.
Overall busy days so cancelled my band rehersal yesterday. My body was screaming a bit :scream: So I gave it some rest.


I picked a new card for today. The translation is:

“Today there is nothing I should get, nothing I must do and there is nothing that I should be than what I already am…”

Hope my translation is correct, but I guess you understand what it’s saying :hugs:

Have a great saturday! :raising_hand_woman:
