@tragicfarinelli I am so glad that you will be out of the toxic environment soon. I do hope you donāt continue to have such exhausting nerve wrecking days for the remainder of your time. Hoping you were able to get to rest early and are going to start a bright new migraine free day.
@lile01 Iām sending you strength my friend. I do hope you also have someone to call if the withdrawals get too intense as you do want to go through them safely. I am so sorry for the upcoming anniversary, sure can not be easy emotionally. Do call your doctor in the morning to see if they are able to help prescribe something that may help with the withdrawals. I am not familiar with what works but have heard others mention prescriptions that have helped. Much love and strength Indi 
@jennyh the rest was nice but has not helped ā I may just need the full day to recoup. Was a very laid back non -productive day.
@scorpn Oh man that sounds overwhelmingly frustrating Renee. I am so sorry that she and her dad are and have been living in such conditions. You are such a beautiful caring woman with a enormous open heart. Grateful that she has you in her life. Hoping that everything works out and that he doesnāt protest too much in her moving out. Maybe even give him time to fix the house or find a safer place for himself. Hoping the vent helped.
@jules000 I am sorry love ā I know how intense the feelings of SH can be and how isolating it can make you feel. It must be utterly exhausting having to be there for everyone else and not taking time for yourself. True friendships / relationships are a two way street. They are there for you no matter what. I am sorry that you have lost friendships in the past. I do hope that you are able to put in the time and love for yourself that you are trying to provide all those around you. Getting stronger and healthier will give you the energy and love to form and keep your friendships. You come first (I know this sounds selfish but really you canāt give from an empty pot so please fill your own pot first).
My goodness this is pure strength Cam ā should be super proud of your willpower. Grateful that you found a way to not give into the urges. I do hope it all goes well with your therapy session tomorrow. They should be willing to work with you at your pace and meet your needs which is what I do hope happens and that you are not having to terminate the sessions all together. Sending hugs right back to you my friend
@mira_d OMFG!!! I am furious with CPS at this point and am frustrated for you. I do hope that you are able to bring their lies to light and get the help you need with your nephew. I know the court date is also coming up quickly ā sending you so much strength and love my friend. I can not imagine all that you are dealing with ā you are a rockstar for doing this sober and being present for yourself as well as your family
@Frank68 howās it going Frank? Been a while since weāve seen you checking inā¦hope you are well

I couldnāt fall asleep last night so, tired this morning. I managed an hour nap, which helped, but now I canāt stop yawning 
My daughter seemed off when she got home. Kinda low mood I thought, until she said her throat hurt. By bedtime she said she was achy. Great. Probably no school tomorrow. At least I donāt have to work. Hope I donāt get sick. Better get to bed. Goodnight

Day 101. Iāve been thinking a lot about what life will look like in 5, 10, 15 years. Itās well set up for me. I have a beautiful family decent job not overly weighed down with the mortgage, it could be very nice for me. Or it could be terrible depending on what road i take. Thatās kind of scary. I want a long happy and healthy life not a short miserable sorrowful existence. Thatās the decision I need to make every day. And all it takes is keeping myself on the straight & narrow. Simple really.

I had so much emotional stress yesterday, I felt no hunger all day. This is strange. Usually Iām a total stress eater.
My partner opened up about some very difficult stuff on Sunday and Iāve been processing that yesterday all night and day. After being overwhelmed, angry, cursing and yelling, sadness, crying over the dishes and going through the whole emotional cycle of despair I finally reached a point of resolve.
I visited my mother, we had a good talk. She strengthened my resolve. I really did not want to have that conversation with him, but there was no way around it. Not this time.
I realised I had no control over the situation, not the outcome. But I was in control of my standing and words.
When he came home in the evening I put everything in very clear words. There were a lot of tears, but now there is calm. He accepted my decisions. Weāll see form there on.
I still feel shaken, but calm. One day at a time.
In the midst of all this I managed to be mindful about my eating. Not once did I want to act out my emotions in an unhealthy way. Iām very happy and proud about that.
Today Iām meeting a friend whose mother died about a week ago. I hope I can be of some help and comfort to her.
And Iām really hoping for some time for a yoga session in the evening. With all the turmoil going on I neglected my evening practice and I miss it 
.
Whatever comes about Iām wishing you wonderful people a day of peace, kindness, light, and freedom

@Scorpn Oh No, that sounds like a really difficult situation. I can understand why your feelings are all over the place! Just a thought: as her father, wouldnāt he be required (by law) to support her financially no matter what? I really hope you find a solution so your bonus daughter is safe and taken care of.
@Jules000 Iām so sorry to hear youāre struggling with these feelings, that must be so scary and exhausting. It would be nice if we could just turn off our emotions sometimes, right? At least thatās what I wish for in many situations. I wish you lots of strengths, and I hope this storm will pass soon.
@zzz I hope youāre doing well today. 
@Butterflymoonwoman Oh wow, I just got up and now Iām hungry. 
I LOVE cream cheese frosting!
@Catmama23 Hope you feel better soon! Iāve never taken any medicine with alcohol in it, but if Iād think one by of those would help me a lot, I would probably just take it. Itās probably just a tiny amount.
@CATMANCAM Great job for not buying those foods!
@Mira_D I donāt know what exactly happened, but I can hear like youāre going through some really though times. Wishing you lots, of strength! Was involved in a battle with courts and authorities regarding custody and child protection (my partnerās children) that took years, and that alone drained every last bit of energy.
@JazzyS Lots of love back!
@Mno Oh, interesting picture! Looks like a storm is coming in from the right. Tbh Iām just jealous of everyone that gets to see the sun. 
Iām checking in still sober, two months soon. First session of coupleās therapy yesterday. Not great to be honest, but it might be the wrong therapist. She didnāt seem to understand that lots of things work really well in our relationship, and we mainly want help with our communication. But there were a few interesting bits of information, and my partner and I had a good talk about those later.
