Day
83 substance free
0.5 self harm free
46 not restricting food

I stumbled. I wasnā€™t strong enough. And I had to reset my time. I will keep going and keep trying. And hopefully I will be stronger next time I am hurting. I will focus on my kids and remember why Iā€™m here at all.
And I hope this year will be easier.

Iā€™ve run out of :heart: to give. And have to wait another 35 minutes :weary:

But thank you. I will keep going. i was one day from 7 months, and now i am on day 0.5. Iā€™ll get there again. This had been my longest time free from it. And my goal will be to make it longer this time. I learned that I have to step back from some things. Because I care too much

Yup keep at it! Ur stronger than u think :wink: i hear u on the stepping back part. Caring and giving are very important, dont get me wrong, but at the same time I can burn myself out real quick always, constantly, thinking of things and others and not myself. And that feeling of burn out comes across as me wanting to eacape that feeling which is a trigger to use. Idk if u can relate to that. But there is nothing wrong with looking after ourselves too. We cant pour from an empty cup :frowning: ur an incredible busy person that has alot of responsibility on ur plate. U deserve time for u

Melā€¦ Thanks for being here :sparkling_heart:
It is okay.
I relapsed, I wiggled, I shaked since 1,5 weeks.
One thing enlarged and complicated and featured the other. I am human, doing mistakes.

Alcohol is increasing my depression from 2 to 9 of 10 and my anxiety from 0 to 10! Soā€¦ Letā€™s restart.

I will get back to the mat when I am back home.
2 days still at the Atlanticā€¦
1 day of traveling back on Wednesday

One of the neighbor grannies presented me bananas from her garden tonight. Grateful! :banana::pray:t2:

Earlier today I was wondering if there were more bad people then good people

I relised what mattered was who you surround yourself with

I also came to terms that when I was making people miserable, I was infact miserable

It takes only a slight second to make the world a better place by saying something nice

And if someone is being miserable, they might be in a very difficult place

Donā€™t be walked all over
Set boundaries and simply stick to them

Iā€™ve come to find answers are easier to find then some think.
Exp. Iā€™m mad because of this.
Itā€™s as easy as that

even though fixing the issue is more difficult. It takes 2 though. Listen, understand, use compassion. If the 2 can do that, it would be a miracle
