Day 125
I’m here, I’m alive I’m sober and I’m happy.
Taking it easy, and taking things for what they are. Can’t affect it, and best thing to do is go with the flow. Luckily I’m good at that 
That’s all Folks❣️
Wishing y’all a wonderful day.

Please remember you’re not alone Julia. Especially when your thoughts are dark like that. Big hugs and hang in there.

@Alycia Good job on sharing your struggles with your thoughts 
I will ask: What have you been doing for your sobriety recently? What have you been neglecting that your sobriety needs? Thoughts of using come up for every addict. But it sounds like you might be giving them some credence? Why? What do you need to being sure they are just lies that will not serve you in any way?
@MrsOdh Your flow attitude is an inspiration Thank you for sharing it with us.
@Elyse Good work on realising sobriety is healthy routines 
@Juli1 Dark thoughts, dark weather. Sending you some sunshine for your soul 
@SoberWalker This nature park sounds very interesting. I know the area there and always enjoy the geest landscape, especially the bogs, but I have not been to this park. Enjoy your stay and maybe take some pictures for us.
@HolySquid Thanks for the owl watch update 
@Mno Whenever I look at your pictures I am so looking forward to my vacation later this month 
@Jeanine Speedy recovery for your dad. Hugs for you 
@DanaM56 Thank you for sharing your process with us. It really is helpful to see how we deal with hardships in our lives. Turning to friends and meetings is something that is helping me after my breakup too.
@Refreshedperspective Good job on all the work you are putting into your recovery

My morning run is done and my daughter found her missing shoes. So we are already heroes for today 
Everything else is going to be a bonus 
More digital prototyping today, groceries later - ingredients for my daughter’s birthday cake mostly. Although I think the tradition in the US is that the person having the birthday will get a cake made by others, while here the person having the birthday will make a cake to share it with her guests. So I’m going to buy the ingredients and my daughter will bake the cake for her guests for Saturday.
I have yoga planned for the afternoon, my ex wants to come by for supper and then Recovery Dharma in the evening.
Wherever we might be, let’s go for peace, kindness and freedom friends

Sending light to help lessen the darkness. Glad you’re here. Glad you’re talking about it. Big hugs for you with the dark thoughts. I hope they’ll go away with satisfactory answers/conclusions/ outcome whatever it is.

I think that too. I just wonder where that nest might be? They are cavity nesters… broken chimney pot? Hole in the gable of a roof?
My garden borders onto a public park. The owl stays mostly quiet when people walk past, but as soon as there is a dog walker, it starts up. And of course every other house has a cat roaming the gardens 
I’ve limited the time Pops 
is allowed outside, with a strict night time curfew.

Day 100. So this last week or so has taught me a lot. Last Wednesday I went to a meeting 45 miles away from home to support a friend. During the meeting a woman started speaking and I shut down because I was judging her she didn’t seem as clean as she was saying so I immediately started judging her in my head. When she started speaking. I heard my story come out of her mouth and was blown away by how similar our path has been. Then last night at a meeting a guy walked in that I at one point wanted to beat down for things he did to my sister. He sat right next to me. It took everything I had to be nice lol. When I got home last night I reflected on both of these things and how my higher power is testing me. The one thing that kept popping in my mind is principles over personality.

Try to think positive just because the day starts with dark thoughts doesn’t mean it’s has to stay that way, wishing you well
