Getting stronger.

“All beings are responsible for their own actions. The freedom or happiness of others is dependent on their actions not on my wishes for them.” (Refuge recovery)

Had 3 RR meetings last week. Heard this phrase so often and during meditation. Since yesterday it is like a bouquet of flowers.

Have a nice sober weekend

Hey Dana :wave:,
you know what? You are right. It is unfair. Having to go through what you are going through is utterly unfair and total shit. I remember the few times my daughter has been in a hospital. These were probably the most nerve wrecking experiences in my life. So please do vent, cry, scream, yell, be angry, sad, furious. It is unfair to feel sooo much. It is unfair to be human, to be a parent, to go through this.
And you are also right about the blessings. We feel so much, sometimes too much. But we also feel the love and the gratitude. Being able to hold your child, to just be there. With love comes pain.
And you are also right about being sober. The horror scenario this would turn into if you were in active addiction.
I’m sending all the love. I can’t be there for you, but this is going from one mother to another ❤‍🔥

There is a great thread where we talk about this

Women’s hormonal roller-coaster

For me, yes, my drinking, sh, disordered eating, all tended to appear around pms time. Even now, when my period actually starts it feels like the sun has come out from behind clouds, even with the period pain.

Checking day #111
Drinking now the holy coffee :coffee:
Yesterday it was a looong day :grinning: at the new job we had one huge meeting from 1 to 6 pm and before that from 8:30 am we were preparing the last things for it. The meeting went very well and after that we had a business dinner. Everyone was ordering alcohol with the meals but im happy and proud of myself that i was only drinking water. And when the boss asked me " Do you drink alcohol?" I answered with confidence " No , I don’t drink alcohol" and felt good. Really, i watched them ordering the white wine but i was thinking - ok they can drink it because they can stop anytime when they want. In the past when i was drinking till the end of the bottle.
Feel good when i came back sober last night and this morning to woke up sober without hangover :sunglasses:
I can share that WE only be happy and proud of ourselves to be sober :blush: Life is good :v:
Have a great weekend and enjoy your coffees :grinning::coffee:

Good morning, day 78 AF

An hours drive to airport this morning to pick up wife from trip then hour drive home.
Then off to grab son for a 3.5hr trip for game 3 tonight in his best of 5 series. Rented a chalet on the ocean and if required game 4 tomorrow afternoon, then a 3.5hr journey home.

Getting my fitness in and healthy eating choices will be challenging this weekend but all worthwhile.

Enjoy your sober weekend TS folks :pray::heart::peace_symbol:

Day 293 AF.
I’m feeling a bit off today. Both kids were home from school this week, my son was unwell and my daughter is struggling with anxiety.
I had my woodworking class yesterday and started on a carved drinking cup. During the lunch break I ended up chatting to one of the volunteers and it turned out we were both brought up on the same street. We swapped numbers and talked about meeting up for coffee sometime. When I was drinking I would have found that so unappealing. I did all my socialising in the pub and couldn’t imagine doing anything differently.
Today, I think I’ll take a decent walk and get some fresh air. It is a sunny but windy day out there.
Wishing everyone an addiction free day.

Checking in on Day 22. I feel so encouraged by the improvements the last couple of days. It is truly wonderful. This one feels pretty good too. I want to stay focused and disciplined, though, as days like these in the springtime can make me think I’m cured! I want to stay sober more than anything.

So thankful for this place and all of you
