I think it’s just too much at the moment and you don’t have enough time for self-care.

How do you recognise them? Are the swerving? 
Hey everybody! I joined May 29th of this year…I went to treatment June 20th after realizing I had zero tools to cope with life… I always thought if I could just get rid of the dope I would be ok…that wasn’t real…the dope was a symptom…I am checking in today with 173 days clean and sober…but not just that, I am learning to be a person who practices spiritual principles… I have the most beautiful program of recovery…I have a squad of women who fight this fight with me every day…they are my allies…I never have to be alone again…I couldn’t wait to check in on here…the people on this app were my cheerleaders when I was detoxing off fentanyl and didn’t know what to do…they loved me when I couldn’t… gratitude is mine this morning…

Pretty much how it went. Only one uncle got it! For a moment he thought I had grabbed a shot and was like “

Ur absolutely right. Bcuz i am a VERY compassionate person. I care almost too much. I often wonder what their story is… like what happened in their lives for them to get to that point? I realized that it wasnt the person that i was judging, i just wasnt happy seeing what they were doing. Its hard for me to see certain forms of drug use in particular. I dont hate the person, iust dont like their actions, yet i understand why its happening

Ur post made my eyes water. I just hear sooo much gratitide and love and joy in ur post. Incredibly proud of you for taking that leap of faith into treatment as well as into a spiritual way of life.
On a side note, i havent been the happiest the last few days. Just very cold and distant. And ur post made me realize that I am missing out on that gratitide, love, and joy. If i wanted to be miserable, i might as well still be using. But recovery for me is about living a different way of life, relying on that Power to guide me thru my day, and living life with joy and a grateful heart. So thank you for posting 
Congratulations on ur 173 days clean!

Morning Check in
Day 287
Im tired of being tired. I dont know whats going on with me lately but it needs to end today. My emotional state isnt the greatest but it doesnt have to be this way. If anyone has heard the story of the 2 wolves in recovery (one wolf is good thoughts and good things, while the other is negative thoughts and negative things), thats what im thinking now. The wolf we feed is the one that survives. Ive been feeding my negative wolf and im seeing the slow downhill spiral. Gonna put in the hard work to be honest, kind, compassionate, understanding, grateful, joyful and full of love 
the way I always am. Connect to my HP, do a gratitude list, stay recovery focused, and help others. Bcuz truly the best way to get out of self is to think of someone else. Love u TS fam!

Checking in tonight, and hey: it’s good to have you here whoever you are reading this…! 
We’re alive… breathing… seeing… hearing… feeling… smelling… thinking… hearts beating away this very, all too for granted taken ‘moment’… What would you tell your younger self if you met them? What do you think you were born for? Who are you? What do you want and why? What can you do better right now…?

Wow! Ya id say soemthing is up for sure. I understand a hip surgery and needing to rest, but im sure shes been on her phone at least once during the past week for some reason. She couldve maybe called or at the very least texted.
