Day 409 AF

Kiddos are doing better today.

Work was work. Another day another dollar.

So we’re planning on going to my company’s Christmas party this Friday. It should be fun. I’m not worried about the booze.

Haven’t caught up with everyone’s posts.

Bout to crash out. Tomorrow’s a new day.

#Day 1533 :seedling:
Started a saffron supplement as well as a L Theanine supplement in the hope to uplift my mental state. Anybody here who has used one of them?

My daughter is in therapy and is talking about the way we raised her and wanted to talk with us about it. So we had our conversation and it was good but confronting. Still thinking about it. As a parent you want to do it perfect and still I know we can’t. As a child her age I had a simulair conversation with my own parents :hugs:
Now I’m sitting on the other side of the table…

Today? Walk and work.


Picture of walk to work yesterday, a foggy day.
See you :raising_hand_woman:

Checking in day 217 off the booze. Currently flying to Tampa with my wife and son to see my mom. Excited to play some golf and relax on the beach! Last year on this trip i made a complete ass out of myself. I spent the better part of the day slamming whiskey shots at the bar next to their condo and came home and pissed their couch. Needless to say I think we are all more excited about this go at it. Gonna use this time to detatch from technology and try to live in the present as much as possible. Thanks for being here fam, ill check in with yall soon! USA USA USA!

Day 6. I want to rant and cry! Headache is back as bad as ever. I’m out of my migraine medicine and need my doctor to submit a refill. I forgot to ask him that yesterday. I’ll try this new medicine as soon as I have breakfast. No idea how I’ll manage to work like this. Not helped by crap sleep. Thunderstorms all night, disturbing dreams about my ex. I don’t feel like I can cope at all.

Feel free to rant and cry. Feel free to do anything you want -without hurting yourself or others or breaking the law- except drink. Drinking is out of the question. Never again. Wishing you strength and relieve from migraine.

Good morning! I started a new job yesterday…my supervisor is in recovery! I’m so grateful! It makes working so much better to be beside people who are like minded…I did 8 years in Alabama Department of Corrections and am a violent offender…I NEVER dreamed I could have the job I have… Doing the next right thing really works…I hope you all have the most beautiful day! Do something for yourself today! Do something for your recovery today! Loan someone else your strength today by being kind…we only keep what we have by giving it away…

Stay strong, Karen. Maybe the painkiller needs a specific level to take effect.

There is a song in German “Gehen die Leute in der Straße eigentlich absichtlich so langsam” about people, who walk too slow in the streets. :grin:

Do you have an app or manual for your box breathing? I’ve one on Headspace, but I’m not really fond of it.

Pretty good day today. Did a presentation yesterday for the “Compassion rounds” which focused on Acute care burnout and personal traumas which reopened all sorts of memories over the past 2.5 years both personal and vocational. On top of that another friend from the old neighborhood killed himself black friday (i found out sunday). So yesterday was weird cause i kept on crying randomly throughout the day, being kinda mindful about a pity party i can say it wasnt even mostly that. It felt therapeutic like since everything was drudged up might as well let some out + some self kindness. As always its amazing what even a disjointed sleep can do for the mind and i felt decent waking up today

Gonna keep the positive vibes going so i hope everyones day feels like your future is still unformed and you can make it whatever you want. #MuchLove

One of the first things in the morning is switching my SAD lamp on, because usually I start to work at ~5 am.
