Well it is also easier for me to do knowing that societies view of being emotional is so twisted. You’re not weak because you feel things.
Infact BY feeling these things you’re more in tune with your body creating a healthier version of you.
I so relate to the not being able to understand my feelings because of depression and anxiety. Might I suggest looking up “the emotions wheel” to perhaps open the awareness to deeper understandings of many core feelings?
Day 156 alcohol free.
I didn’t feel that I slept very deeply last night but when I woke at 7am I felt well enough rested after all. I was feeling a bit out of sorts first thing. I have some financial concerns at the moment, and also my daughter snapped at me (she apologised right away)
I went to my yoga class and did some really deep stretches. Then, home for breakfast.
In the afternoon I had my first proper appointment with my support worker and it went really well. She has printed me off a list of activities to take a look at. There’s art and craft sessions, a walking group, gardening groups. We also had a really nice chat and got to know each other a little. I felt quite positive afterwards.
I’ve been looking through some sketchbooks from way back. 15 to 30 years ago. It’s like time travel!
As ever, it’s ODAAT.
Checking In Day 632
Been a busy morning. Got my son on the bus to school and then immediately went to the grocery store to get odds n ends. Came home to workout. Now off shortly to get my eyebrows threaded. Feeling pretty good today Hope everyone enjoys their day!
Still have the nerves in my belly. Maybe its time to dial back the caffeine
I have changed my schedule and become more focused this past 2 weeks. I certainly like it. There was me who needed to survive for a while there, and now I have to get back to life.
Just found out my daughters 2nd grade class watches tv everyday at lunch to keep them “quiet”. What in the actual fuck. Screen time and navigating that is up to parents. Its hard. We losing. And all kids will at one point have devices and spend more time on screens then we ever did. Some parents feel more okay with it then others, most of us use screens to help give us a break, but damn at schiol everyday? Ohhhhh man. Anyway threw my 2 cent in there. Parents should be aware of this shit in my opinion and maybe like one or 2 times a week, but using a tv ti babysit at school is not okay with this ma. You having a hard time keeping their attention? Well you not helping with Paw Patrol at lunch that for dang sure.
My little rant of the day
Also. Uncovered lately that I have absolute trust issues with men (not my husband or his friends) and life not being an dumpster fire. It makes sense, but oooo i have to work on that.
Going to pray. Pray for love and forgiveness (not for that particular person at the moment, because forgiveness for them is not for me to give) but just acceptance, and hope. I think i am just afraid life will always be this hard, and that is a scary thought xo.
Not a whole to report. Working split-shift this month. Watched the football game last night and went to bed. I had a weird dream that I snuck into an abandoned aquarium. I found stingrays swimming in a pool, but these weren’t normal stongrays, they were gigantic. In the dream, I was having flashbacks of being there as a child. What a trip. I think the antidepressants are messing with me, lol.
Anyways, all is good with my sobriety, the kids and the fam are healthy.
Keep going youre doing great. Weed seems to be the last tricky one on the list. You can do it. Dont give up. Hit the drWing board and see what didnt work last time & what did work. You can do it. xo
114 days. I did lose focus for almost 2 weeks stayed sober, but didn’t feel good was out of sorts. Monday went to my meeting in person and regained my perspective in journey to sobriety fulfillment. It is amazing how much the meetings help day-to-day, and also including this platform to share and learn, thank you all.
Hi TS family. Been home from resendtial treatment for 9 days now. Glad that I went. Did a lot of healing and gained some great tools. Now it’s time to put everything into action, yet walking slowly. Now with a clear sober mind I can see the wreckage my life had become due to my addiction. Hopeful that I am moving forward and upward. Trusting the process and God one day at a time.
