Checking in! :wave:t2:

Not much to report from my side! Another day off, holidays are a nice thing to have! This morning I went to the market and got a new basil plant! :potted_plant: I also had some breakfast there. In the afternoon some pool time where I chatted with some people I know. While walking to the market I met a girl I hadn’t seen in over a year. I said if she’d want to catch up some time, go for dinner (like we used to do 3-4 years ago), she didn’t seem to enthusiastic, but at least I popped the question! Another little step out of my comfort zone (I usually wouldn’t ask, cause I’m afraid of rejection). In the afternoon I took my 82 year old neighbor to the town center in my car, there was a dinner and dancing going on. She’s asked me if I’m not doing anything, well no… not tonight! I hope she enjoys herself! :blush:

Day 1351,

Somehow people still perceive me as fearless, they don’t understand that’s because hell became a walk in the park for me. I can support other people, but still seem to be unable to find someone who can support me back in real life. Gonna try to get some sleep…f*ck my father who dares to say I raised myself…and the rest of my family….my girlfriend likes the way I hug, like my sponsor says “by following the program you become the man you missed”. So supportive as my hugs are… gonna stop or I’ll keep on rambling .#lonely#is this it#no cravings just tired :sleeping:

This me and my mom at lunch this week. Another attempt to get a connection with her. It is not a bad person. She wasn’t able to protect me against my father and brother. She still says your brother is who he is, while I told her what he did to me. I pointed out for years why she lets my brother treat her like he did and still does. She sees it as normal, I need therapists to tell how he behaves and as a respons they validate me that is not normal. Bizar. I tried to save her, but I more and more realize she is trauma bonded to both of them.

Checking in 12 days sober
@Zse cookies look incredible!
@Timetochange - is despicable me 4 worth a watch?
@JazzyS sorry about your migraine, hope it clears quickly, they really are rotten
@Olivia I like your meme… this is part of the reason I want to stay sober, I want to be a positive influence … all the time, not just part of the time
There are some fantastic numbers here- it’s impressive. Great work sober people!

You’re a vegan, that’s wonderful.
I’ve got friends saying that Finland is really good at non dairy products.
Here we’re starting to get more and more from Oddly good. I love them because they’re oat based, and I’m allergic to both milk protein and soy (and I’m celiac) so I’m grateful. :blush:

If that friend keeps insulting you, maybe you should consider either telling that friend to stop, or just phase he/she out in a subtile way. Personally I’m not good at the subtitle thing myself. I’m more the “I’m sorry you’re an Idiot” type. :laughing:

Thanks. I used to watch DBZ (spanish dub) religiously back in 5th/6th grade. I would buy blank video cassettes at a store called Pic N Save with my bday money and record all the episodes on our VCR. Anyway, one day, my drunken dad threw them all away. :rage::sob:. Smfh. He threw away all the classics. Beauty and the Beast, The Land Before Time, Casper, etc. He even threw away my eldest sister’s quinceñera video. Dude was a piece of work.

Yeah, we have lots of vegan options in here. And I love Oddly products, especially the barista milk for my coffee (yeah, I tried to quit drinking coffee, but here I am, haha). I’m glad that you also find those oat products suitable for you, yay!

And yes, I’m just gonna ignore him, I don’t need drama in my life. I wish I was more like you, to be able to tell him to piss off. :joy:

Today, on the last day of August 2024, I watched my first Christmas movie of the season!

I even made cinnamon hot chocolate to compliment the mood :coffee:
I am not ashamed
:squid:

Love that.
We’ve had plenty of hot chocolate here already. It goes for all seasons.

I’ve already started to plan Christmas gifts, and getting a bit into Christmas mode as well.

But first, all things Halloween :jack_o_lantern: :ghost:

It’s a skill that takes time to master :joy:
Honestly it’s rare that I tell people to go someplace warmer (and I don’t mean on vacation)
Most of the time I simply say I had enough of their crap/ won’t tolerate that behavior or something similar. And after that I just don’t talk to them ever again. Because it’s not worth it, it’s not worth the energy it takes, and I’m not going to compromise my peace.

Ma is an exception,I can’t do anything about her :joy:

Day 930
Its been a looong day. Im so glad its almost over. Work just took forever to end and then on the way home i started not to feel so well. I felt like i was going to pass out in this heat so i slowed down my pace and even leaned up against the building a couple times when walking home. I think i was just hungry and dehydrated bcuz i feel better after eating and drinking loads of water.

I did some tidying up, had a shower, and then realized that there was something wrong with my nose. Ive always had issues with my nose and idk if these issues were caused from past drug use or what but i noticed something concerning with my left nostril today. I can barely breathe thru it and now i can see an issue with the inside of my nose. Its a bit concerning. Im making a dr appt on tue (mon is a holiday where i live). I thought i couldnt breathe thru my nose due to allergies or sinus issues or something. But nope. Im sure it can be easily fixed tho.

Now im just relaxing and waiting for my boy to fall asleep. Then off to bed at 10pm. I have work tmrw again so need to prepare for that. Have a great evening everyone! :butterfly:
