Day 902,

My first hours working on step 4 are done. I worked on them at my sponsorā€™s place, leaves no room for procrastination. Grateful for that. Feels a bit awkward now that Iā€™m at home again. Gonna try a nap, itā€™s very warm today. It has set something in motion but it is hard to explain what. Some resentment is of course linked to my trauma, so might be a bit shaky due to that. Again the tendency to overanalyze, maybe just let it be.

Have a nice day all

Accountability check in! Day 20
Itā€™s crazy how triggering life is. Learning to sit in the bad and really enjoy the good. Onward, have a great day all!

Wow. That is so nasty. There are some mean people out there. Thereā€™s nothing quite like the internet when it comes to a good head fĀ„ā‚¬k.

I only chat on here. I donā€™t have instagram, or twitter anymore. On Facebook Iā€™m there to keep up with stuff but Iā€™ve added zero friends and donā€™t interact with people.

People online say stuff theyā€™d never say face to face or over the phone. Itā€™s like some kind of mist comes down. I often call it ā€˜the wanker virusā€™.

Iā€™d agree with whatā€™s been said- avoid those places where horrid people lurk, and try not to worry about the nasty words of someone who frankly has no class.

I find for myself itā€™s alot better and easier to my self to to the work/writing that relate to our trauma out of my own home. That way when I get back indoors I can try to leave it all outside. Easier said than done.
I had alot of paper work to go through the past few months, really stressfull and important. I went to coffee shops to do it otherwise I was indoors constantly thinking about it all, feeling like I constantly had to be thinking about it or doing it and it helped to keep home a place where I can sometimes get a break mentally from all the thinking.
Itā€™s great your doing it :sunflower:
Itā€™s something I feel I need now is to start the steps.

You are strong, you have alot of recovery knowledge now.
Itā€™s ok to go back to basics. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself. Your back on the right track and that matters. Itā€™s ok to just be you when your confused and take things slowly. Things fall into place when we least expect it.

Big hugs :hugs:

Flying out of central Mexico mid day today to return back home. I will miss the culture, people, being able to walk and explore the area and interact with the local people.

But this morning at the hotel I add some amazing food. This place has served authentic local food and everyday was something different.

@butterflymoonwoman A very happy birthday to your little guy!!! Hope he gets his bike in time and has a wonderful day :tada: :partying_face:

Absolutely love this ā€” Iā€™m so sorry that you are having a migraine today ā€“ hope it does not last long!!!

I think this is the most important type of support as we know what itā€™s like and have our tools and techniques to get past the hurdles. That may be why the meetings and this site are so powerful and detrimental in our journey. I do hope you find time to get back to your mediations.

@goku2019 congrats on your 600 days!!! Love the pics ā€“ Iā€™m sorry you are feeling drained. I do hope that getting on a healthier diet will give you some energy and help your health as well.
@soberwalker ā€“ man itā€™s the worst waking up with a headache. I do hope itā€™s passed and you have a great class tonight
@liminal.rehab Yeah man ā€“ 100 days reached ā€” doing so awesome my friend. Iā€™m sure you are super busy right now but do find a way to celebrate your achievement! :partying_face:

It sure is triggering ā€“ the trick is how to deal with the triggers sober and with a clear head. Finding new ways to attack lifeā€™s struggles. My mum always says to find it in you to treat all the highs and all the lows the same ā€“ this is when we can find peace (still working on this myself)

Checking in on this beautiful Friday afternoon
I did not get nearly all i wanted to get done yesterday. I did put in 9 hours so not a lost day. My headache won over all the other pain and I decided to watch sappy movies in bed. I am more active today for now-- iā€™ve got a few things on a must do list and then I know my body can relax if i need it to. I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday ā€“ sending much love :heart:

Second check in today

I slept solid 5 hours and the migraine seems to be gone. Iā€™ll have another dose of painkillers and vitamins to be sure it stays away :wink:
I have to be pain- and Aura-free tomorrow bc I have an appointment at the hairdresser and I really donā€™t wanna wait one more week.
Havenā€™t had an Aura in months, only the headache. Didnā€™t miss that as it makes walking difficult when your vision gets effed up like this while itā€™s super bright outside :sunglasses:

3.5 days alcohol free. Iā€™ve been working to stop the chatter of my mind. Thinking gets me in trouble. Taking an action - even if that is active listening or resting or meditation - is the space I need to be in. Energy is still really low and depression is still really high. Looking forward to getting some mental health help in a couple weeks. Iā€™m giving myself a mental rest from worrying about my sponsor situation and just working on going to a meeting every day or almost every day. Reading the big book too.

Huge congrats @Mno on 4 years and @liminal.rehab on 100 days!!! :100::100::100: you rock my socks!
