Mira, you are doing fantastic and I admire you. Just needed to say that. Keep going, you are killing it. Your time with your kids sounds so comfy and loving, hell to mom guilt . Coming from someone who had the least present or nurturing parents on earth , I would have loved to be cared for this way. :revolving_hearts:

I slept better and my head’s feeling better too :hugs:

Shared a meal with a school friend in a restaurant last night which was nice, even though it brought up a lot of memories of using, and of friends lost to addiction and other mental health problems.

At the same time it made me realize how glad and lucky I am to be where I am now, in my fifth year on my road of Discovery, working with my fellows, working on myself, enjoying to live my life most of the time. Still I’ve got much to work to do. One day at a time. Good days and bad ones. Living a good life is work. A work of love it is though. And so worth it!

Have as good day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love from Amsterdam.

@Hidden I’m grateful you’re here Chris. In this together we are.
@Juli1 You’re not lost. Keep working. You’re in the process of finding yourself. You’re building yourself a life worth living. It’s beautiful to behold x.

This is the best ever feeling, that surge of pure LIVING. happiness. I don’t know exactly how to describe it, it feels like a warm wave of everything good. I can’t wait for these feelings again.

Reasonable ok, nothing planned for the day. Need to work on that. The gym is nice, maybe a bit of own will or maybe self care to pick this health club. It’s nice to be in the water and/or sauna after exercising. It’s salt cleaned water so no chlorine. For the rest a lot of group sessions and some luxury thing like massage seats. Didn’t try that one yet. No plans is not good for my overthinking ugh. Tomorrow my therapist and Friday a community councellor or whatever it is called and my first appointment at a re-integration office. Brings some tension. But at least there is movement, just not right now :grimacing:

Feeling pretty solid this time, misconceptions about alcohol and about my ability to control alcohol are gone. That shit is stroner than me.

Not smoking, but occasionally sticking that dirt in my lip still. I’ve been keeping my eye on the Grumpy A-holes thread, even went back and reread the start of that, long time ago. I will be posting there again soon, has to happen, just not quite ready yet!
