Day 242 gambling free. I’ve started dating my daughter’s father a.k.a. my ex again last year and now we’re looking into moving in together. Today we went to see one apartment and we’re thinking of taking it. This is a big step for me and I’m really excited. Looking forward to this new (and old) chapter.

Day 64
It was a long day. Spent a couple of hours in the hospital with my parents.
I was looking at my dad from a distance, an old man sitting in the waiting room and I felt so incredibly sad. All the attention was aimed at my mother, but we sort of forget my dad.
After hospital I had to rush to the office for a completely senseless meeting and after a commute through hell I’m finally home. Once in a while I hate my job.
Tomorrow’s another busy day with work and an appointment at the notary. The weekend already feels like a distant memory…
I’m gonna lay on the couch with the dog and watch a brainless show. I am done for today. Good thing is I’d normally have wine after a day like this, but I don’t have any cravings

Hi Lauren
I hope your a feeling a bit better today. Continue to push through. I can really relate to.how you feel that things get worse when your sober. It’s not that they get worse it’s just we or at least for me see the unmanageablity that my life has become from being in active addiction for so long. We are finally feeling out feelings which can be at first.
Use your tools that you are learning, sharing and posting here is a good start. Lots of self care and take it slowly. Remind yourself why you decided to go on this journey of recovery in the first place. We are here for you. You can do this!
Reading through others recovery journeys and experiencing the miracle of soberity for countless others you see that life becomes so much better sober and this journey is so worth it.

Yes, that looks a bit like the environment I walk most of the time. We have some nature close by that used to be farmland but they gave it back to nature 20 years ago. I hope you had a great walk
