Day 4 on not acting on lustful or sexual impulses. Tired of it not only destroying my family, but my self esteem, self worth, shameful feelings, feelings of worthiness. I deserve to be better than that addictive feeling of feeling good or wanted for 1 minute. My family deserves better. I am wanted, I am loved, I’m more than this part of me. It won’t die, but it can be overcome every hour I’m here. Every hour is a win, a day is a blessing.

Checking In! - I hope everyone is doing well today and if you are not, you are able to have compassion and love for yourself! You deserve it.

I have been up and down, but I think I’ve come to a bit of a realization as to why. I feel “not normal” because I don’t seem to be able to enjoy alcohol or substances without making poor decisions. I want to just “be like everyone else” and that in itself seems to be causing some shame.

Anyways so proud of you all!

You are just like everyone else my friend. Everyone has a battle and most of us aren’t aware of their fights.
Take solice in knowing (a) you aren’t alone in this world, many fight the exact fight you are working through and (b) everyone has some sort of battle inside of them…

You aren’t on an island, you just need to find your tribe. :heart:

Day 1005
Didnt check in yesterday as i was sooo tired all day. Doing the overnight the previous night really wore me out. And then to top it all off, my son and I got our flu shots for the winter so that made us both very tired.

This morning i am feeling okay but like I said, tired. I have a couple things to do and then maybe I will rest. I did want to get to the gym today but we shall see. I did do my morning prayer tho and now will get ready to run my errands. Hope everyone has a good day!

224 days sober
Have been off the past 2 days because of internt/phone issues. Now I’m back online I’m trying to get caught up on everything. And I can get back to work on my translation project application. I was able to meet with social services and propose my next project and was meant with enthusiasm so am hoping to get financial approval for it soon.

Tonight I went to a birthday party for a friend. There was also a lot of people who came that I didn’t know and unfortunately some were drinking. It didn’t make me crave or want to drink but I felt uncomfortable. It left me in a bit of a weird mood.
