Ugh hey 330am why do people (ex) send songs say things to idk make you feel like there is hope or they still care? I have given up on stuff like that for now. That is what im trying to tell myself but i feel asleep crying and sad alone again. Keep telling myself this shall pass too. When i ask? When i find someone new lol . Idk i close my eyes still a even thou its over i see a future with her. Why never been so hurt and in pain like this in my life . You ask for advice and idk it like they tell you what they think you want to hear. Or just say move on. Lol ok thats easy :rofl: :joy: :ok_hand: :sweat_smile: maybe at a time in my life where all i did was make bad choices but today im not trying to do that. Like relapsing. Finding someone or something to make me feel better for the moment. This really sucks ! Its lonely, depressing and hurtful. Well hopefully it will make me or both of us more beautiful than we already are. I cant predict the future, nor go back in the past so just for today.( Odaat ) i will try to be good to myself :heart:

Day 1392,

Started on my sons relax room, he is almost 18 so hope it can be a room for me as wel to retreat meditate, but most important is what he wants :muscle:. Ended up dating again, with a different mindset then ever before. Practice, practice, practice need to watch my boundaries and limit the number of dates :see_no_evil:. Invited a woman from a group of new people I see regularly during activities for a theatre show for which I received free tickets. She apps my each day since I asked her, might need to manage some expectations there, which would be something new to do. Priority Mantra: my recovery and discovery (practice, action), my son, discovering further work direction, dating with an open mind with no fast intimacy except maybe kissing orā€¦is that also not allowed well practice is practice . Set another boundaries to my mother, she wanted something from me fast so it would get out of her head, thatā€™s fine but not if it messes with my head Iā€™m not responsible for her feelings, told her when and how Iā€™ll do it so that should be fine :pray::heart::pray:

Im not sure what going on with me. I wanna drink. I wanna get drunk. Im done with this boring and busy life. Iā€™m burned out. Every second I must do something yet nothing is done. I do nothing just for myself. Nothing is up to me. I want to get drunk, I want to stay in bed hangovered, I want everyone to fuck off.
I hate my life.

Oh man thatā€™s a lot going on and honestly you know getting drunk is not going to solve anything.

Are you able to cut back on any of your new activities so you can give yourself some ā€œmeā€ time. This is whatā€™s needed most right now :pray:t4:.

I know sometimes things just keep piling up and it feels impossible to get out from under them. You are a strong woman. I do hope you are able to take a breather and rest. You want from taking care of your toddlers all day everyday to teaching youngins without taking time to enjoy the break of having your kids in school. Kids are amazing but they do require a LOT of energy. Hopefully you will find a balance so you can recharge your batteries :pray:t4:

Sending love and here if you need to talk / vent it out. :people_hugging::people_hugging::heart::people_hugging::heart:

That is some hell of a fuck it mode youā€™re in. Glad you vented it out here, are you also able to vent it out with someone in person? Drinking only will make things worse, but you know that. Howā€™s your HALT, and sometimes itā€™s just a shit day you can do nothing about just let it beā€¦.a walk perhaps to clear your head, a big virtual hug :people_hugging::pray:

I feel thatā€™s the one. Hang in there and donā€™t drink. Think of ways to give yourself a tiny little bit of space. Youā€™re not alone friend. Weā€™re with you. Iā€™m with you. Right here for you if you need it. X

190 days sober
Yesterday was sooo busy. I finished up with all the work stuff yesterday and then went to an AA meeting for the first time which was in interesting experience for me. By time I got in I was too tired to do much and had an early night.
Today has been spent wrapping up a few loose ends and organizing our trip home tomorrow. Iā€™m looking forward to that. Iā€™m glad today was more chill I was needing it. Also am glad to go home tomorrow. I donā€™t do well in cities and this is too much city for me! I did get to go see some friends today and get some visits in which was nice but I didnā€™t get to see everyone I wanted. It would have been too much socializing for me.
Iā€™m really glad this work trip ended well and also in time.
Not looking forward to a cramped and long car ride tomorrow and have a bit of anxiety about the roadā€¦I hear the pass is getting a lot of snow tonight so worried about the road conditions.

Anyways hope everyone is having a good sober day!

@acromouse You were right about not worrying too much - a migrane kicked in an hour ago. I will thus not go to the meeting, my spouse will have to go alone. So no discussions with weird-headed waiters for me tonight :relieved:

Migraines suck. I am very sorry you have to suffer through that. Hope it goes away soon :exploding_head:
