I feel like breaking into pieces.
I wonā€™t drink but my thoughts are, darkest.

I still canā€™t believe why he did this shit. His last words werenā€™t kind. All the empathy and loyalty. Gone. Already when he opened up that he is in a relationship. And especially when suggesting further dates. He was rejected. By my standards. And now he is lashing back. No farewell. Just shit.

I received the original contract and 13 extra PDS per Mail for my few job today.
Now itā€™s real.
Should be happy.
All I feel is pure anxiety.
Panic.
Darkness.

Love you guys :black_heart:

He doesnā€™t deserve your anxiety. Or any negative shit you are experiencing. You are so much better than him my friend. Love you. :people_hugging:

Edit: I came across this one just now.

Attended my second AA meeting tonight at my old home group after two years, it was really nice to be welcomed back so warmly by so many .Iā€™ve always found it difficult to open my mouth in a meeting even tho I have no problem opening it anywhere else ! So I steeled myself to share openly and honestly tonight

Thank you , Iā€™m learning to sit with my emotions and know that itā€™s ok to not be ok sometimes :+1:

Iā€™m sorry youā€™re not feeling well.
I hope you get better soon.
Remember to take it easy when you move around, itā€™s good to move but itā€™s not healing to move too much.

Get well soon.

I guess it probably might come with age.
I used to care a lot about what people said .
Nowdays I mostly donā€™t.
My husband has a T-shirt that says:ā€œDonā€™t like me? F**k off- problem solvedā€

He has always been like that, me personally always thought it might have been a little bit to much to wear that in public, but last summer we had an older Danish lady (maybe in her 70ā€™s) walking up to my husband asking where he got that T-shirt from, because she wanted one as well.

I think about that a lot. Sheā€™s the most badass lady Iā€™ve ever met. She didnā€™t care at all,she saw something that she thought was cool and decided to go and ask a 2m 115 kg fully tattooed man for it, even if we didnā€™t spoke the same language and even if she didnā€™t knew anything about us. Weā€™re still in contact. Sheā€™s a very sweet lady and makes beautiful Christmas decorations :blush:

Day 1312,

Sober living is taking itā€™s form.

There only needs to change one thing and thatā€™s everything.

Nothing changes if nothing changes.

And of course progress not perfection :pray:

Forgot to check in last night. Was busy, had gym for the little one then took both the kids to a new activity for them. They tried roller skating a couple weeks ago and now they love it. Found a club that does lessons for beginner kids.
Awesome to see them take a few knocks and keep getting up to improve at something.
Gives me motivation

Checking in today at 4 weeks sober :metal:t2: I havenā€™t slept good the last 2 nights for some reason and I woke up feeling irritable. I got my workout in before work and that definitely improved my mood. The kiddos at work today made laugh a lot. Getting to watch them learn and grow is so rewarding. :heart: I offered to stay late and pick up some extra hours. I was so sore when I got home though! Took a relaxing epsom salt bath, made a ā€œsleepy girl mocktailā€ and curled up in bed early tonight. Watching some stand-up comedy to unwind with my hunni until I fall asleep. Goodnight sober friends!

What a loooong day today was. It just felt like that because of the extreme heat. We have wildfires happening near us also and so its beginning to be a bit smokey outside.
Not great for breathing.

All n all tho im alright. Nothing to really complain about. I still havent really got a good routine going. This summer break for me has been hard in that sense. Id really like to get to the gym tmrw mrng. I think that would really help start my day off on the right foot. When I dont workout first thing, i get sooo lazy and end up staying that way practically all day. Eating has been good tho thankfully. No disordered eating has happened. Had some urges today to binge eat but somehow managed to put those thoughts in its place. But the urge is still there now tho so i just need to keep myself busy until bed. No thoughts of using drugs or drinking. Happy about that :slight_smile:

Hope everyone has a good day/evening :butterfly:

Another day of experience work coming up. One thing I donā€™t like is thatā€™s its dark when my alarm goes off. Canā€™t be helped. I might have to dig up my daylight lamp to help me wake up properly. Well. Iā€™m alive. Iā€™m sober and clean. Iā€™m on my journey of Discovery. One day at a time. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Make it clean and sober or nothing will come of it. Love from my balcony.
