16 days AF. Starting a meditation series on cultivating gratitude because this is definitely an area I need to strengthen and a new way of thinking I need to develop. Feeling a bit emotionally squirrel-y today so it’s a good day to focus on recovery activities! :chipmunk::no_entry_sign::chipmunk: have a great rest of your sober weekends, all, I’m glad to be here with you!

Day 98… checking in… all and all things have been ok. Just found out today that my ex is completely homeless and it just absolutely crushed me. Struggling to keep my tears in right now just writing this. I want to help her so bad…even after everything thats happened i obviously still love her and care what shes going though… i havnt talked to her at all in two weeks until today. I feel so lost right now… i dont know what to do. Its sad because she truly has nobody…no family, no friends and she suffers from a few different mental illnesses as ive explained in a few other posts that ive made… i dont even know why im writing this but you guys have been my rock through all of this and my journey with sobriety. I want to help her but im afraid it will not be helping me with my healing and emotional struggles right now. Nobody should be homeless and living on the streets in this world…theres plenty enough to go around… i guess what really triggered my emotional melt down today was pulling off the exit from the highway and this woman was standing there with a sign that said hungry please help and that got me. Made me immediately start thinking about my ex being in that position and me feeling guilty because i know i have enough to help and what kind of person would i be if i knew all of this and didnt help. I hate this world sometimes and i wish i could help everyone whos unfortunate enough to not be living a quality and healthy lifestyle… im crushed right now and feel very torn… ive been praying for her almost every night but prayers aren’t enough when someone is actually struggling and not ok. I wish i had the answers to all the worlds problems as im sure most of you do to. I where my heart on a sleeve and today, boy is it showing. I hope you all are doing well and i apologize for not being so active lately… i just have alot going on with work and the new dog…i definitely need to get on here more ( daily ) because i can definitely tell the difference when im not. Sorry for the venting, again :pensive:

Oh Billy, my heart breaks for you and your situation. You can’t help someone that can’t help themselves . She’s got to want to be clean before anyone can help her. If you give her money today, you know where it’s going and you would continue that cycle of enabling her. Hold your ground this time. All you can do is pray for her.

Never apologize for not being here. We all have real lives to live. Sending you love and strength. :heart: :muscle:

Could you get a standing desk? I’ve now one on my new job and I really enjoy it. Especially in the morning when I’m still sleepy.

U have such a kind heart friend. Its extremely hard to see someone that u have a history with suffering and hurting. One of my exs was in a similar position when i broke up with him. And it pulled on my heart strings and tore me up emotionally bcuz i still did have feelings for him, even though we had a very toxic relationship. I will tell u what i was told to me, in hopes that maybe this will help.

I was told that i am no use to anyone if im not well. Basically… if i dont take care of myself and my recovery and my mental health, there is no way that i can be of help to anyone else. Yes it will hurt to see her in that position but there must be resources out there that can help without u being placed in a position that could potentially damage ur mental health or ur recovery. I provided my ex with a list of resources (addresses and phone numbers) of treatment centres, detoxes, and emergency resources for shelter and food. Thats all i could do. He needed to take some responsibility for his actions and if he really wanted help, there a places that could help him. Sometimes by “helping” others we end up enabling them. This is not always the case of course… its a fine line. But i can honestly say for myself and my ex, that i had enabled him and vice versa. By u being clean and sober and walking a different path, it can actually motivate her to get help. When u do cross paths, she will see the change :slight_smile: i hope that ur day improves. I know things are tough right now, but we are here to help
