Second update for today.
My husband is home.
All the medical care doesn’t seem that scary or difficult anymore, and It was great to see him in person again.
Thank you everyone for you support

I passed 40 weeks sober earlier this week. Nice total.
My wife is going away to see her family down south on Friday for a week. That was always a real trigger for me, as being alone opened the door to being off my head all day.
I’m confident that won’t happen and I’ll be checking in to say just that!

Morning check in
Day 556
Woke up clean and sober! That in itself is a gift! Today is another relaxing day with my son. But I completely missed the gym this morning which I feel bad about. I was just sooo tired. I will make sure to exercise tmrw (my optional gym day) then to make up for today.
Tasks for the day is my morning recovery routine. Some cleaning. A meditation. And then grocery shopping once hubby gets home from work. Thats about it! Hope everyone has a great addiction free day

Feeling sad. I’m at the playground with my boys and so there are other kids from Sacha (oldest) school (4/5yo) and they are laughing he’s always saying Ja or Nee (yes or no), doesn’t matter what they ask. Like “are you eating poop?” And he’s answering yes, because he doesn’t understand. And they are making fun of him. I explained them he’s speaking other language at home and he’s still learning Dutch but I don’t think they care 
We are living in small, mostly catholic village. He’s only one non-dutch kid around and anyway he was very late talker, he started talking after 3. So it makes me very sad he’s struggling. Teachers always said he’s doing good, he understands most of things etc. But I’m not sure. Next Tuesday I have meeting with his teacher.

I would’ve talked to those kids for real and explained very carefully, and asked them how it would feel for them if they didn’t understand.
If they still won’t listen and keeps trying to tease him, I would’ve talked to their parents.
There’s like a golden rule here (Swedish small town) that you don’t make fun of someone who doesn’t understand, if you want to do something you should try to help. That’s it.
I really hope it turns out to the best for all of you.
Language can be a struggle.

She is stable now and has her medication. Think it’s gonna be a handful of it. I believe a biopt is when they take some tissue, in this case of the heart, brrrrrrrr to investigate. They gonna look into genetics as well. Don’t expect much there, it’s on neither side of the family yet. But better be sure for our son. From what I hear she is very well taking care of. But still, we only have one heart. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers

I’m sorry to hear that. But I’m glad that she’s getting help. As someone who just got her husband home I’d say that she is in the right place to get all the help needed.
I’m sure your son would be just fine. As long as he knows that you’re all there for him if he needs it in any way. I’m sure he’ll be fine even if the current situation isn’t optimal.
Hoping it’ll all turn our for the best for all of you.

Hi guys how is everybody
Apologies I haven’t been on here in a while but have been busy with different things and got COVID unfortunately was very sick with it this time and am only coming around now but I also took a break from all social media until today to try new things
Over all I’ve been doing ok going to meeting with my case counsellor every Tuesday have been attending cocaine anonymous meetings every Sunday for the the past 3 weeks now have been busy soccer training and had my first match last night doing slot of reading also
In my time out I decided to quit my job and go onto something new I am now exploring my options if going back into education again but it’s early days yet also looking for a new job at the min also to keep money coming in I just wasn’t happy where I was and felt I had to go as it was affecting my own mental health
I will be back on here alot from now on as my counsellor thinks been on here will help alot with how things go for me and I could not agree more myself I have decided to get rid of Facebook and Snapchat and I am now only using this app along with Instagram from now on.
I’ve made alot of changes these last few weeks and have put a better plan in place I also went to the substance misuse clinic yester for a assessment from a nurse who will work with my case worker to try and balance my anxiety and depression which will help in the long run with using aswell 
Hope everybody is doing ok and would just like to say it’s good to be back on here with al you great people

I feel the same any time we’re visiting Germany. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side 
Glad I’m not the only one who struggle with this, I recognized myself in pretty much everything you’re describing. All is well, couldn’t be better and then and there I just loose it and it gets me from out of the blue.
Hopefully it works better this time. And I’ll stay sober.

Great job on your double digits! Hope your headache is gone – if not, maybe try placing a cold cloth over forehead and eyes while simultaneously placing a warm cloth at the nape of your neck helps relieve migraines / intense headaches.
I totally get your feelings and it’s not selfish at all. It is a lot of responsibility and i can imagine the anxiety of possibly things changing quickly. I am grateful that you will have nurses and in home care. We will continue to send you positive healing vibes my friend. Deep breathes my friend.
Much love Sophia! I do hope things got easier for you.
Just saw your update - grateful your husband is home safely and the home medical care doesn’t seem so daunting. We are here for you

Thank you. The headache eventually disappeared. Probably with a lot of tension that I’ve build up during all this.
I’m sure things will turn out the the best, it usually does. Thank you for all your support and kind words

Got some time before my hair appointment so I wanted to check in. Put my head on the pillow sober last 2 nights and will do so again tonight. Odaat. I’ve consistently gone to The Luckiest Club meetings and have given out my number & taken some. I have never done that before. Turns out there are 3 sober people near my new home in New Mexico and they want to connect in person. I hope to close on the house mid September and get connected with them. What I’m realizing is I’ve never really been able to connect with anyone deeply, not my Buddhist community (I’m too off the cuff and I love the F word 
), not horse people (I don’t ride my horse and give him choices of what he’d enjoy doing, which is unusual and can trigger others who only want to ride). So finding connection through sobriety is an amazing surprise. I’m feeling really lucky
