Our 14 y/o has always had “problems” with eating. Selective eating is pretty common if you’re autistic.
Our baby nurse (here you belong to a specific baby/kids nurse until you turn 6 and starts school) said not to worry. That small kids eats exactly what they need of they have access to food and the possibility to choose.
I’ve always followed that advice and let him be.
Last 6 months both his teachers and the school nurse has been at us telling us that we need to make sure he eats more so he’ll have the energy for school. He weighs about the same as his 5 y/o cousin.
I’d still let it be, and let him eat whatever and whenever he wants. Trying to sneak in some extra protein bars as a snack at school. He got a special exception from the No sugar, No snacks rule from all the teachers.
So hearing that we don’t have to worry about his weight and just can keep on doing what we’re doing. And that I was right all along today was such a nice confirmation.
Your sponsor is wise. As you know I don’t believe in God (or at least I want to pretend that I don’t, you never know I guess)
My life coach says something similar. She says that life doesn’t start when you reach your goal weight, meet true love, get the higher paycheck or whatever you’re chasing.
Life starts now, and we should use the time to enjoy it, here and now. Living in the moment with what we got. And if we don’t like it, change. Change location, change mindset, change goal.
Checking in day 579 and months sober! Pretty cool to see my next personal milestone is 600 days. In the beginning things felt second to second, then minute to minute, then hour to hour, then day to day, and now sometimes it’s month to month. Though I, of course, still have my days where I take it by the minute or hour, I’m loving a life where I feel free.
A good sleep, again. It’s almost 8 and I’m just getting up. Birds singing, me sneezing so violently they stopped for a minute. All my flowers are blooming. I need to get some more. But it’s too peopley! I’ll get everything ready for when it clears out. Make a map with circles. Dig.
Yes @Just_Laura , the gouge runs along the path of totality. What would I do if I had a hotel? I wouldn’t because I would want everyone to be happy. Ha! I’m a hippie. ‘Oh, don’t worry…you can pay me later’
I like this calm, relaxed feeling. Think I’m getting better
Just checking in, day #11 sober from heavy cocaine abuse yessir!!!
Woke up feeling pretty good today, the advice that yall gave me yesterday about my ex helped me a lot, I appreciate it
Had a good meeting with my addiction therapist yesterday, he is happy that im still sober and gave me some important advice to help me stay sober. He said because I have a tendency to be very hard on myself, really practice self-compassion and be ready for days where I feel like I’m losing momentum from being sober.
Checking in Friday morning. Busy day at the shop so will be a long work day. Will try and get my workout in later tonight but might have to use my rest day tomorrow if I’m here too late tonight. That’s about it for today so Happy Friday wishes for you all.
@whereswaldo congrats on Day 18, congrats you’re here checking in. I like how you put “me” first. Very important that you’re doing it for you, be the best version of your self, so that you can be there for the people you love.
@mikeA congrats on 87 days AF. That’s the right attitude to have, taking it #ODAAT
@juli1 congrats on another day (66)! Sorry you didn’t rest well. I’m not up to speed on your situation with the landlord. What’s the situation, if you don’t mind me asking? I hope your day gets better.
That is very good boys! Mommy is so strong! It takes some strong individuals to admit they have a problem and get help. & thank you boys! #ODAAT
@just_Laura way to keep on! 414 days! I think we’d all be pissed in that situation, especially when it’s their fuck up. That shit grinds my gears. Just like you pay for something and the money comes out immediately but if you get a refund it takes 3-7 business days, well it didn’t 3-7 business days to come out of my account. stupid. But yeah Continue focusing on the positive. #ODAAT Happy Birthday, daughter.
@mno congrats on 1763 days . That’s a nice picture.

Checking in on day 107! Feel like I just posted saying 90 days. Well everyone, I’m alive, I’m blessed and I’m sober. I’m no longer restless, irritable and discontent—I’m spreading positivity, I’m vibrating high and loving the sober life. Headed to the zoo right now, wife is driving, better take a picture of this hahaha this never happens when we’re together. Happy Friday everyone, have a fantastic day. #ODAAT
