Day 252 again

Went over, didnt drink. Ate a lot :slightly_smiling_face:

Did my 15 minutes of cleaning at night. Pretty much just litter box and laundry basket but the room is farther away from Bad and that is a win.

I am sending you a big virtual hug :hugs::hugs: I’m glad you got to relax with your aquarium today! It looks so calming with all the fishies :relieved:

It’s so great to hear that his tumor hasn’t grown!! Is the chemotherapy goal to shrink it more?

What a strong little man and strong mama too! I really look forward to reading how your day went. And I always hope to see that things have gone well for you. Because you are so sweet and caring and just truly amazing and you deserve to have all the best days! I am not as good at expressing myself as you are, and I don’t always have the right words but just know that I am rooting for you and even though I am a mess, you make this sobriety thing attainable. :relaxed::heart:

Youre incredible! U dont need the “perfect” words honestly to express urself. They are truly perfect in their own way. And I know that u care. Just as i care so much about u and ur day and ur family :slight_smile: uv become a wonderful friend on TS to me :smiley: and i also go to ur thread when i see u posting to see how YOUR day went lol its like we think alike lol the goal was to shrink his tumor. They cant surgically remove it bcuz its woven into his brainstem but the goal was to keep it stable. If it does shrink than thats a plus!!! His first year of chemo didnt do much. His 2nd year of chemo actually shrunk his tumor by about 1/3. And it has remained stable that way for over a year now :slight_smile: its a win in our books!

I had a vivid dream in which I woke up hungover and couldn’t remember what had happened the night before. I was trying to piece together where I had been by looking at the maps app and camera roll on my phone. I don’t really miss that.

In other news I hit 519 days today. And turned 44. Grateful for calm and peaceful weekends.

I have thought about why i might have had that dream. Don’t know. I haven’t had cravings or anything. I think some of us might have drinking dreams forever. But the joy of waking up and realizing we are sober? Worth it. Heck, I still have dreams I didnt turn in an assignment and won’t be graduating college. I graduate in 1983!!

Day 27 Alcohol free. A lot has happened in these days. Feels like every day brings a surprise. Some bad, some good, some just boring. Today I feel almost “normal”.

Hey Dana :heartpulse:
Much better this morning…
Need to spit it out sometimes.
That already helps a bit.
Overwhelmings, if life is too much and loneliness are my 2 most incoming and most dangerous feelings.
Would like to have a new relationship or friendship, but I am also afraid of it and am not good in trusting people or trusting the thing itself.

Still got some work todo with my inner world.

By the way… Your fishtank looks like wonderland :smiley::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:… These colors!

Morning,
Checking in on day 237. I’m happy to see that I’ve saved over £2000 from not buying alcohol. Amazing.
I’m loving not drinking and can never see me going back to how my life was, totally revolved around the next drink.
Have a lovely Sunday :sparkling_heart:

@icebear Hope you had a nice birthday Drew.
@Butterflymoonwoman Finding healing is a really long process. Personally I doubt truly letting go if the past, my past, is possible. I think what is needed indeed is to find compassion and love for ourselves, our whole selves, the little one just as the current one. You’re worth it friend, the whole of you is worth it. The good and the not so good. We’re humans. Hugs. BTW, a letting go ceremony seems like a good part of that process.
@nerd Congrats on feeling normal.
