Good morning everyone, day 41 and a merry Christmas. I had a nice weekend off, just played my game a little, mostly just relaxed. Forgot my meds all weekend and didnā€™t realize till today when I got to work and had the worse heart burn. I was like ohhh, ooops. So yeah need to take that when I get home from work. Itā€™s just me here at work, well s couple other housekeepers, but nobody to do the other half of my stuff so I have all floors today. Which isnā€™t a big deal, keeps me busy and helps time go by faster. Iā€™m just grateful I have a job, grateful my girls are having a merry Christmas and grateful for my sobriety. When I get home today, Iā€™ll probably play a little Xbox and relax. Idk much love everyone I hope you all have a beautiful Christmas

Checking in on Christmas afternoon
It has been a lovely morning. Spent some time with my parents, got my gratitudeā€™s done and a bit of tidying up accomplished. Now I need to get my gifts wrapped and get ready. Heading over to a friends place for lunch and games.
So proud of each and everyone of us! This is a tough day for some - please do check in here if you feel lonely, feel triggered or just need some motivation. This place is always live and active and you are not alone.
A very Merry Christmas to all who celebrate. Wishing everyone a peaceful and safe - addiction free day! Sending you all so much love

Grateful for close healthy family.

Grateful for all my children but especially grateful to my little girl who did extra chores around the house and her friends houses to make some extra money this holiday just to buy her mom and dad a gift each.

Day 112. Been really rough few days. Moved to a new state, and obviously my trouble followed me, but itā€™s more than that, and there were some things I was really hoping wouldnā€™t follow me, but they did too. Hurts because I feel like Iā€™ll never find a place I belong, or where Iā€™m welcomed, or where the evil thatā€™s been following me wonā€™t pop itā€™s head up and taunt me. I just stay alone in my room pretty much all day everyday and itā€™s getting to me. I hit my weed pen(āˆ†8, āˆ†10, THC-O and stuff, legal from the smoke shop) a few times over the last few days. Not much, and I donā€™t count it toward my days because my Dā€™sOC are heroin, fentanyl and meth, but it definitely was escapism and didnā€™t help as much as Iā€™d hoped it would.

Being with family(mainly stepdad) on Christmas has been hard. Almost everything he does triggers flashbacks and like images of the past and of trauma and all kinds of stuff and Iā€™m finding it hard to forgive him.

Got a lot of stress and things I have to accomplish for life, and Diversion court related issues. If I donā€™t I will have major legal problems. And Iā€™ve been wanting to give up. Thereā€™s literally no light at the end of the tunnel for me. Itā€™s just pain, suffering and hardship, to fight my way through to reach more pain, loneliness, isolation and sorrow. My soul is dead, seemingly never to be revived. The world and everything it offerā€™s illusions are shattered for me, and I can never see things or people the same. Iā€™ve been trying to seek God because itā€™s the only thing worthwhile, but all Iā€™ve received is more suffering. I want to die already.

Merry Christmas everyone, hope youā€™re having a wonderful day. God bless, and much love :heart:
