My life circumstances right now are really challenging me to learn to accept uncertainty and detach from my thoughts. These would be tough situations even if I wasnāt also trying to navigate early sobriety. But I figure if I can stay sober now Iāll have a good foundation for the future. I am staying committed to my recovery activitiesā¦. Hanging on to the branch in the storm. It wonāt storm forever, things are always changing. My theme the last 6+ months has been ādeath of egoā.
I continue to be amazed at how much healing meditation is bringing me. I had this light bulb moment while working through shame. I was able to tie back a lot of shameful behaviors and limiting or toxic beliefs about myself back to a single traumatic incident. I was always cognitively aware that this impacted me but doing some visualizations and breath work helped me feel it in my body and see how this unresolved piece was coming out in all these dysfunctional ways. Energy doesnāt disappear, it always gets turned into something else. I also heard this great quote, healing is the domain of the past, transformation is the domain of the future (and I would add the present, since thatās all we really have).
Thanks @SolarEclipse @Mno @JazzyS @Dazercat for the support I hope I didnāt forget someone. Itās really good to have the reminder that milestones can be tough.

Itās good youāre here now Cat. The past is just that. I hope you can learn something from this episode so it wonāt be all for nought. We will not drink today and just as long as we remember that each and every day we canāt fail. ODAAT and all that.

Have you seen this thread? Meditation for Serenity 2021-2024! (tips, tricks & discussion/ 3 years running woot!)
Stella started it with a few challenges. I was very leary about the 10 Day Mantra challenge, like 
I canāt do this! And I was pretty happy with what I was already doing. But, I got out of my comfort zone, because thatās what itās all about right? And now Iām chanting mantras whenever I feel like it. Walking the dog. Getting up before wifey. Going to meetings. And especially going to doctors appointments before they take my blood pressure. I know its significantly lowered my bp.
Keep up the great work. Happy 29

Checking in and making myself accountable on Day 5.
Heading off to go to the Foo Fighters Concert in Wellington NZ which is tomorrow.
Every time Iāve been to see them itās been a social drinking event so Iām going to do it differently this time and really be present!!
I know I can do itā¦. It will be amazing and Iāll feel great the next day because Iāll remember it.
Congrats to everyone alsoā¦. Youāre all Rock Stars!!!

Day 53
Just got home, totally drained but had a good and fun day. After work we went bowling and had diner with the team. I didnāt think about alcohol at all.
When I got home I got greeted by son and dog. I cherish every moment with those two, I love them so much! Live, laugh, love! 
I canāt keep my eyes open, so gonna get ready for bed. Tomorrow Iāll visit my parents and sis and little nephew, looking forward to see them. But first: sleep

So, feeling disengaged from family because of their discontentment with my need to stop fostering these children. I gave in and called the foster team back and said weād keep doing it and Iād like to recant my request to stop.
Iām not upset with them because I know the reasoning behind their desire to continue but now I need to find ways to protect mental health.

Day 711
Today has been pretty busy, well the morning was. This afternoon i had a chance to get in a short nap. Got woken up by a phone call. My sons nurse cant come in tonight so I will have to do the awake overnight shift instead. Not happy about this. But what can i do? No one else is available to work. Im trying to come up with a plan for this shift. Mainly bcuz of my eating. I tend to eat alot bcuz im tired. Thats a trigger for me. So trying to figure out a different way to approach this. Maybe drinking tea or snacking on vegetables and dip or something low cal so it doesnt throw me off. Idk yet. Anyway, just waiting for my son to come home from school. Then will make tacos for supper and relax. Hope everyone is doing okay today!

What were their reasons to be discontent exactly? Ur mental health is just as important. Its hard to look after others to the best of our ability, if we arent well ourselves
