Last night I slept like shit, kept waking up in a panic. One of my clients hasn’t paid yet and it’s stressing me out, they’re usually really good so I don’t wanna jump the gun and go overboard chasing it.
I tried to meditate but made the mistake of sitting next to the garden bin where people throw in cigarette butts. You can imagine how soothing a nice deep breath of cancer smell was.
Today I’m travelling all day, so I really need to get my act together.
Day 6. I had a nice evening yesterday. My mood was good and I had some positivity flowing. I need to try get some exercise later, I know that will help keep a decent consistency through the week. I’ll get dips and anxiety will kick in but I can either choose to acknowledge it and know it will pass or I can let it consume me. I’ll choose the former.
“This too shall pass” is powerful, I’m going to use that whenever I need it today
I have the day off. Taking my friend’s daughter to town to visit the cat museum (where strangely enough I’ve never been before), and do some more tourist-in-our-own-town stuff. It’ll be nice.
In the meanwhile Amsterdam Pride is upon us. The boat parade is on Saturday. I’ll miss most of it as I’m working the weekend. That’s OK. I do like how this big parking in town has been done as a celebration. Have as good a day as you can all. Sober and clean. One love. @GenG Big congrats on a month Genevieve! @HappyDays Big congrats to you too Clay! @BT824 Glad you’re here friend. ODAAT for all of us. You deserve better.
Not the greatest morning. H was 2 days using his DOC and now he’s all the time irritated, blaming me for all the shit in the world. And his uncle is visiting us and I have to listen what a great man and father H is, bullshit.
And now I’m making even more problems cause I don’t wanna eat meat (I was never true wege but since I was a kid I never liked meat and I feel better when I don’t eat it, I started eating much more when I met H cause he’s huge meat eater). So now it’s a fucking end of the world cause I don’t wanna eat his carbonara and make some pasta with veggies for myself instead.
That is amazing! I have just remembered I woke up last night and saw the most amazing moon. It was so bright I thought a security light was on. Beautiful though, made me feel very restful

Checking-in for yesterday, fell asleep whilst catching-up…
Therapy was okay yesterday. The therapist wants me to stop focusing so much on what I’m not doing ie not bingeing/using etc, and start counting the ‘small wins’ ie all the stuff I am doing. She wants me to add a tick/star even if I go to the shop and only buy 1 pack of crisps and mango instead of 2 of each. I can appreciate how this may theoretically help me be more kind to myself, but with my all or nothing mentality, having any of it is bad. I also know from experience that there is really no “just one”, but, I will do it, because I get ticks/star for all of my daily routines and activities as well, and I’ve added a few new ones I’d like to implement so this may be the motivation I need.
Last night was the final of Love Island, I’ve been watching it every night for the past two months. Now that it’s ended, I am planning to go to sleep earlier and wake up earlier, and hopefully start my days with a refreshing and energising early morning walk. I also will hopefully not be tempted to binge as I won’t be watching any TV on my phone in bed. I will allow myself to watch TV in the lounge, as I don’t associate that with eating or bingeing.
Thinking of you i know its not my place to comment, but you are not the problem the way he is trying to make you feel you are the problem. I wish you strength.
When you said 7 meetings today i thought you meant 7 AA meetinfs and I almost fell over then I saw you were talkinf about work and i was like…um yes thats makes more sense LOL
Day 69. Holy moly today is the day, today was the last day I had to sign in for roll call, today was the last day of doing chores or taking meds. It’s wild, I can’t believe it and now I need to enter the real world again and make sure I’m implementing what I’ve learned into my everyday life. I’m excited and ready, I ordered my new keyboard last night and I’m excited to get that and try it out lol. I’m gonna go hit the gym before I move at 2 much love everyone.
