First off, aww that was Soo sweet of the woman to gift you with a Timā€™s card! Youā€™re one deserving lady!! :heart::heart:

But also, :frowning_with_open_mouth::flushed: that was REALLY not cool of her for sharing your number without permission, let alone without permission to someone you donā€™t even know! Wow. Iā€™m sorry. I think you handled it really well. And thereā€™s only so much you could do. Heā€™s in a different province, and like you said, you shared the resources you know of. I think thatā€™s absolutely enough. I am glad she removed the message of your number! Iā€™m sorry you had to deal with that. :pensive:

Iā€™m sorry to hear your (second?) Cousin is struggling, and I hope he finds the help he needs. :pray:

I made it thru the day and still feel awful but meeting with the bosses went well. In pain with the devil organ but just pushing thru. I understand I need to work harder and set up some more safeguards. I will be working on that the next few days. Felt the need to say something and thanks for the replyā€™s. Hoping for a better tomorrow.

I was feeling pretty bummed the last few days (or more) and I felt like i couldnā€™t climb out of the depression. BUT I spent some time with my son. Just him and I for a ā€œspecial dayā€. I got him some winter boots, McDonaldā€™s, and drove around a while and just talked with him. I told him how much i love him and told him how sorry I was for all the times I wasnā€™t as good of a mother I should have been to him. And he told me, he doesnā€™t know of a time when i wasnā€™t a good mom. Which hit me right in the feels (in a good way) and I told him, that even if he doesnā€™t remember a time, I do. And I am sorry. I am doing the best I can in the moment and always will. And I want him to know that he is loved and that I want the best for him.

It felt really good to have a real conversation with him and to apologize for who I was, and the not so great parts of his life that I feel responsible for. I hope he knows that he is loved. And he gave me a hug and told me he loves me too. And I nearly broke down right then and there. I have such a great son. And I am so lucky to have him. :heart:

To be honestā€¦ this is the first time ive ever heard of him. I mean i feel for him so much (as i do for anyone struggling with addiction). But i also realize that he needs to want the help and without actually talking to him, i have no clue where hes at. He lives in a province ive never been to so google is always a good bet for resources. Im not exactly sure what my mom was thinking when she automatically involved me lol. I dont think it was right at all that she gave out my number without asking me.

461 Days and arenā€™t an I glad !! As I had a using dream last night, and thought I was back in that mess it was a strong one and I woke up and seen i was in bed in my cosy little room and the relief set it but also a weird feeling because i felt like the old days.
Iā€™m so glad I had this dream, although it has made me feel slightly off I needed a dark reminder of what those days felt likeā€¦ I had such strong cravings over Xmas and this I feel will help when they come again a little nudge of reminding me of the dark side.

Have a lovely day everyone :grinning: Iā€™m still waking up

Day 4. Something feels different this year. I have been reading about the harmful chemicals in a hangover which is never the part I used to focus on!

Hope youā€™re all enjoying sober January.
