Work is over. Managed through that okay. Literally did a meditation in the cafeteria prior to going into the unit. Glad for the most part, all went okay today.
Hubby is sick though Also got a text from my sons teacher about her testing positive for covid. So theres alot of illness around right now. I definitly am feeling anxiety over this but grateful that i did send my son to school with a mask this past week. Hopefully that was enough to prevent him from catching covid at least. I have been working hard on staying present today. I dont want fear or anxiety to control me or steal my happiness away from me anymore. I do have ptsd (medical ptsd related to my son and trauma based ptsd of my past), so illness is always a trigger for my medical ptsd bcuz of a variety of reasons. I will really have to work hard on this tonight. Stay grounded and stay present and calm. Will do my best. Just heading home now. Hope everyone is having a good day/evening
Really proud of you for sticking through it even while your partner is still actively drinking. That must be incredibly tough, so well done. It’s hard, you can see the damage it does but you can’t force people, they have to choose to help themselves.
Good luck on your THC journey. I’ve spend years bouncing in between weed and booze thinking one wasn’t as bad as the other. life is a lot sweeter when you are free from it all.
Welcome and well done of three weeks. Keep going! It only gets better!
Thanks Alycia, why are you here for,
Welcome and congratulations on 3 weeks!

Day 9 binge free
Its almost time to do some self care. Just winding my son down for bed. Today has been very challenging for me in a few ways. But i feel like im handling everything pretty good. Its amazing how some grounding and mindfullness exercises, plus faith in a HP and taking action on my part, really helps. I definitly had to use the tools today to get me thru this day. Tmrw will most likely be the same but im trying not to predict the future (im bad for that). Eating was okay today. Got my steps in for exercise. Overall today was okay! Hope everyone is having a good day also!

Just spent just of my day thinking. I cleaned up in my kitchen and spent the day home with just me and my kids. It was very relaxing. Something i can get used to. Just finding the right time and preparing for changes is going to be the next steps.
Also feeling a bit alone, and wishing my circle was bigger… While also still having to navigate my trust issues and anxiety around people.
Things will get better. One day at a time
6:20am here. Enjoying the quiet of the house.
13 days dry.
Thank you all for contributing to this site and inspiring me.
Have Super Sober Sundays all!
Day 9, had a lazy Saturday. I don’t think I like having lazy days. I kinda feel like I wasted the day in comparison to how much stuff I get done other wise. Oh well

#Day 1586
I’m sad and worried. My old cat Buts is missing
I let him outside yesterday but he didn’t came home. Normaly he is outside for 10 minutes maximum.
I’m afraid he fell trough the ice. We live near the water and my neighbour has a small pond in her garden as well. He has fallen into it before.
I already asked for him in the neighbourhoodapp. Hope he’s just locked somewhere in a barn and set free soon
So today no walking picture but a picture from my 16 years old animal shelter furry friend:
I hope I have better news later. But my guts are telling me otherwise
Oh dear
Praying his just gone for a wander around
Thinking of you today and hoping for the best outcome
I’m here for support. I’m nearly 300 days sober from drugs and alcohol. Alcohol being my main poison. This forum has been a huge source of support and inspiration to keep sober. I hope it can be the same for you
Hoping for some good news soon, maybe a neighbour will find him and bring him home
Arghhhhh I am so sorry. Big hugs for you
and lots of thoughts that your sweet kitty will show up in a little bit. Like you said I hope that your sweet and precious is in a barn or in a little girl’s room all cuddled and warm but unable to escape to get home. So hard, big thoughts for you and hopes for good news soon.
