@soberwalker Oh wow – that is super interesting – hope you enjoyed the exhibit
@rosacando Oh man a tough therapy session (especially a brutally honest one) can be draining and the emotions will linger for some time. I am sorry that this is the weekend you are alone and sitting with this. Glad you reached out. Are you able to put on some good vibe music or a good comic to watch to help you get through this emotional time (laughter helps pull me out of the dark moments). Sending you hugs and comfort – here if you need to talk.
@19801 WOW 2 weeks is awesome – enjoy the gift of sleep – so wonderous :hugs:
@jules000 It will not be worth it! Nothing good comes easy love – please do not let your SH voice win – it wants to keep you in captivity. You have a safe place to stay with good support – reach out to someone irl or keep connected here but do NOT go to the store. Spread those wings and love yourself. Listen to Meghan @sadmemequeen IT IS NOT WORTH IT!

Checking in on Sunday evening
585 days free of alcohol and weed
1000 days free of smoking :tada: :tada:
Been not so hot the past few days and spending a LOT of time in bed. Hoping the rest helps. Just dealing with fatigue, pains and allergies to boot … well now monthly BS too. Might as well pile it on right now so i can get it over with :laughing:
Glad to have left over pizza as I am craving something greasy.
Glad I got caught up - so much missed in a day.
Wishing you all a wonderful addiction free day / evening - sending you all so much love :heart: :heart:

I did. I put a CD in my old car and drove a bit and sang my heart out. I took a shower. I filled my dishwasher. I walked my dog. I watched all the olympics I could. It’s been a good weekend. I’m still struggling but I’m going to get through this. I need to invest more time here to expect more response but I’ve got friends there for me and thank you. Thank you.

Checking in Day 407 AF

Took a brief break from the stress of packing. Met a new guy for lunch. He seemed normal until I got home. He sent me a text asking if he could ask me a question. Sure I told him. He asked if the necklace I wore had a specific meaning. I told him no, it was just something I saw and liked so I bought it. He then went on to explain that he’d been told someone that wears such a necklace wears it so others would know I was a submissive! WTF…… I mean to each is own but that’s not a world I walk in nor do I care to. It’s not something I understand. He wouldn’t let it go and continued to tell him how I shouldn’t wear it again because there are people out in the world that would think that was what I was trying to convey.

Jesus are there no normal people left in the world? I think k this is why I chose to stay in relationships that are mediocre because it’s better then what’s out there. I think it’s time to stop dating, and just realize I’m meant to be a party of one.

Checking in at he end of day 78.
@JazzyS thank you! I’m glad I didn’t go either. Red wine is my krypto too!

Funny though, I felt like I had to give a really good reason for not going to the winery. I think someone posted on here how we have to defend our choice not to drink. They can’t just accept no thank you, smh.

Have a good evening/day.

My weekend was busy but nice. Lots of cycling, and meeting some friends, old and new. It was good. Now into the new week. I’m sober and clean. I got a job I like. I’m healthy and on my journey of discovery one day at a time. Together with you all.

Good days and bad ones friends. Using never made anything better, only much much worse. We’re in this together. Have as good a day as you all can and make it clean and sober or nothing will come of it. Love.

@RosaCanDo You’re not alone :people_hugging: :heart: :people_hugging:
@Eke Great to see you, huge congrats on an amazing 6 years of sobriety my friend!!! :birthday: :man_dancing:
@Laner I recognize that. There’s some good memories of people having me over as a kid. I should work a bit harder on inviting folks to my place. Success with the counselor.
