I
Hey all, checking in on day 1237. I hope everybody has a good one!
Day 49 and feeling good
Checking in on day 152 AF.
Lifeās just not making much sense to me these past few days. Iām no longer feeling anxious or depressed but Iām feeling very directionless and empty. I tidied my studio earlier in the week and Iāve managed to produce two paintings and a sculpture that Iām happy with, but I have this sense that itās all a waste of time.
I guess these feelings will pass just like all the others.
Wishing everyone an addiction free day.
This piece even has a title āWhat is it like to have hair that hangs down?ā
Early morning here. No caffeine yesterday, and still going alcohol free. Deep, restful sleep.
I feel like my brain is healing in slow motion these days. Like a sponge springing back extremely slowly.
Dadās looking good. Fingers crossed.
Day 12
Have a nice day everyone
I often have these thoughts too, then get sucked into various different theories and often find Iām OTHER to every theory, either religious (I have no faith really) evolutionary(my closest alignment, but I have no children ā¦soā¦) spiritually (I battle spirituality endlessly)or whatnot. I roll around things like āleave this earth a better placeā until I realise the futility it raises in current political, social landscapes.
So, I can only believe in small actions of kindness and helping people, and smiling and being nice to those less able and loving those you love. I canāt change the world, but I can change someoneās day or hour or minute. Have some faith in yourself and value if nothing else. This , I can see, is my purpose. Valuable and caring community.
Is your art an aesthetic or cathartic venture? Itās great you have something so powerful to exercise your focus and artistic juices. Love it

Day 92,
Great start to the day with a 7am Swim. Huge Serotonin boost, love it.
Just checking in.
39 at the top of today.
Feeling excited about going on holiday. Am flapping around like a bit of a headless chicken, but have managed to make us beautiful black bean burgers for lunch in between the madness and half packed bags. I really see cooking from scratch as my true expression of love. If I love you, I will cook for you. By default, I am thankful that I get to indulge in something I enjoy every day. Itās self love.
Thereās a rail replacement part way tomorrow in Scotland so have to leave my sleeper bunk on the train to join a bus at 7amā¦bahhhh, I really wanted to stay in bed until light break and watch the beautiful landscapes through the train window like they would in some wonderful documentary. Alas, Iāll be squidged up on a soggy cold bus from Kingussie.
Anyway, all good here, just busy and stressing out as normal before any trip away.
Sorry to hear about your bad neck. I have those problems with my shoulder sometimes and itās nothing life-threatening but itās annoying. I found out that keeping that spot warm helps a lot. Have you tried any heat cream or pain relieving creme? Or maybe those kind of heating patch? Hope you get well soon @Mischa84
Thank you @Tragicfarinelli for these wonderful words. I totally agree with you and I absolutely feel the same.
I just wish people would be a little bit kinder to each other. But I canāt change the world and I canāt change no human being but I can try to spread some love and kindness to the world
And I totally hear you @Deelzebub. I have those feelings as well when it seems like nothing I do would really make sense. Right now I feel a bit directionless like you called it too. Iām so focused on being better by being better but I just donāt know if I do it right. It is confusing. Started to read The Power of Now by E.Tolle Letās see if I might find some answers in there.
Anyway keep going your creative road Delia, it is amazing stuff you create. Itās a beautiful.
Thank you Anne, youāre so kind. Like you said - keeping it warm is helping a bit. And yeah, its super annoying. Always when it happens I think āFuck my life for next few daysā. Iām out of my routine, I eat junk food, Iām moody and just waiting for a better days. Its pissing me off that I canāt workout. Good that this pain usually resolve in few days, could be worseā¦
Keepers, Eric! Iām late ! But HUGE congratulations!!! What an inspiration you are!
Of course, I meant jeepers for Cripes sake. Frickin auto correct
And I want to say how fab it is to see all the strength and love and support here. Iām on day 113.
Iām loving reading your posts TF.
I hope there will be pics.
No pressure though.
See you at Forty
Iām the same Making and eating good food is my way to show love to myself and others. And it makes me incredibly happy to see others enjoy what I make
I once was in a relationship with a man who didnāt like to cook. He didnāt even want to touch the ingredients but wanted to have something nice to eat. Itās also a kind of, dunno how to explain it, respect I have for the food.
The next guy Iāll meet (if that ever happens bc Iām mostly happy the way my life is) must love cooking and eating
Day 398 af
Day 19 social media detox
I got up at 10 and went on with what I started yesterday So, jumping around like a whirlwind and complaining about the sweating in-between on here
The book I ordered wasnāt where it should be. In fact it was lostā¦it wasnāt paid yet so I cancelled the order and went on with the day. If those women would be more nice I maybe kept the order and gave them a chance to find it. But theyāve been annoying to me several times when I went there to pick up and pay my books.
I got some groceries to copy that yummie salad @Dazercat made yesterday, got my new pc screen and dragged everything home like a bear that just killed a deer. At least it felt like it. It wasnāt heavy but the package was too big and extremely hard to handle.
I just had 4 slices of bread with some fruit and cheese and now itās time to move on.
Have a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong
