Im resting today with my wife and dogs a little gootball. Been sober 716 days. I never ever thought this could happen. Its a lot of prayer and walking away from bad choices. You always say no ive learned that. Go the other way is what God tells me.

Day 267

Will be nice to go to work tomorrow tbh. Up early and moving around.

Made omlet today. Giant omlet.

I did some tidying but i hope to do 15 min to elevate the relatively clean room to one that actively feels good.

Roommate meeting tomorrow.

I miss smoking weed in a clean room! I wish I could use once in a while.

Definitely need to go back to work

Checking in on day 1…… again.
Anxiety is through the roof. I am so afraid I have done unrepairable damage to my body, I am afraid I’m dying, I’m afraid that I will forgot how bad this is and do it again sometime……
My problem is not daily drinking, but binge drinking. Once I get going, I just can’t stop.
So many regrettable things happened last night. I am deeply ashamed and embarrassed. I am at the lowest of lows. It just feels so impossible to come back from this.

I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling this way. You will get through it. All is not lost. You didn’t fail if you pick yourself back up and try again. Then you only stumbled. Just don’t give up. Sending strength

If you are breathing you have a second, or third or three hundredth chance. With time you can move on from your past. :purple_heart:

Im glad ur back but sorry u have to go thru this :pensive: Youre still alive and u have another chance. Literally what i remind myself of every single morning, is how powerlessness i am over drugs and alcohol. I can never have 1 and i will never have control. It truly sounds to me like uv reached this point where enough is enough. Do u have any plans moving forward about what you like to do? Meetings maybe? Treatment? Etc. Somwthing that can help u get ur grounding?

Days

48 sober
178 no self harm
12 eating daily

Checking in after a day spent cleaning at one of my bonus kids actual home. And letting my kids spend time with their father. He wasn’t being very nice to my son and yelled at my daughter too because they told him why they were upset with him.
Of course he told them I was lying to them and making everything up (even things they remember for themselves) so i spent time defending them and setting things straight. But he said I was attacking him by telling him the truth…
I told him his father and sister were visiting his other kids in Florida and he replied with yeah I know, everybody is turned against me. He can visit them but not me! You are all attacking me and treating me like the bad guy.
I simply pointed out to him that if everyone is telling him that his poor choices caused people to remove themselves then maybe it’s not that everyone is lying or trying to make him out to be something… maybe it’s that he isn’t seeing what everyone else sees…and he should reflect on what his role is people backing away from him was…
I was careful not to “attack” him but whew…the gaslighting is strong with him.

I still don’t trust him alone with the kids because of some of the things he allowed/did. But I am trying to move forward and give the kids a chance to have a relationship with him if they want it.

Also, Gabby (bonus kid) told me she doesn’t see her house as home and wants to live with me full time, but her dad (my ex’s stepdad) told her no. I understand kind of, because without her, he will be all alone aside from my ex…but I feel bad for her and wish I could do more to help.

It was a stressful day, but all I can do is try my best.

Day 407 AF

Didn’t do much today. My kiddos woke up sick. They both came down with the flu. They’re doing a lil better now. Damn flu season. My eldest is gonna skip school tomorrow til he’s 100%.

It’s back to the grind tomorrow after a long holiday weekend. It’s gonna be hard working from home with two sick kids. Hope it’s not too busy on the phones. Thought about calling out. I have about 200 + hours of PTO. Not sure what to do with them, lol.

We might have to skip my company’s Christmas party next Friday, depending on how the kiddos are feeling.

Have a great night everyone!

Day 839

Yesterday was my daughter’s dance performance, so that was lovely to watch. I also met some friends for dinner, which was nice. I hate how paranoid and overthinky I get tho - did I talk too much about this, did I not ask enough questions about that, are x and y better friends than me and x or me and y, I am so fat in the photos, etc. I was also hurt by something my husband said and his reaction was “that is the fault of your sensitive personality” and “God, I can’t even joke around with you” which made me feel worse. I also have a head cold for the first time in maybe two years. But very sober.

I ran into an old drinking buddy tonight. She went on and on about how much she missed me and how special the time we spent together was and the whole time I was trying to remember her name. I choose sobriety today and always.

Almost a week! Still having trouble sleeping but thats probably from the xanax binge from the last bender… ive never felt more awful and truly saw hell after last time so meds and alcohol seem disgusting to me. I really think that this has solidified why I wanted to go on this journey in the first place. Almost finished “The naked mind” such a good read !!
