Feeling some suicidal ideation creeping in this morning. Not even beginning to act on it. Just acknowledging it’s there. It’s just the easiest way to deal with all the mess that I’ve made with my mistakes and bad choices.
Additionally, I just am feeling hopeless about having to start dating again. I’ve had this mindset that I’m going to need to make something happen in order to win the prize of a good woman. Truth is, I need to focus on myself. My discipline, my visions for the future and the life I want to build. I don’t want to lose myself in a partnership where I end up exhausting myself by constantly being the one giving and putting in more effort. I need to take this phase slowly because rushing into something out of fear or desperation isn’t going to net positive results. Just need to sit back and let my higher power handle it.

Oh the 50/50… They think it’s more beneficial for the child… Which no, it’s not, at least from my perspective. Bouncing a kid back and forth between homes isn’t normal, and doesn’t give actual stability. It also makes it so child support doesn’t have to exist. Not like I receive any anyways.

Morning check in, well mid morning on day 27. Headed to the lake shortly with my mom and kids. Things went well with the attorney yesterday, I like her, think it’s definitely going to be beneficial. Anyways, need to pull myself together and get ready to leave. Have a great sober day/night everyone! I’ll check in later.

Day 1262
Woke up feeling pretty rested. Listened to my morning affirmations and started my day. Joined in on a live video this morning about how to stop binge eating/overeating and it was pretty informative until the instructor mentioned the fee for her upcoming course lol But I did learn a few things. One of those things that I need to reflect on is that the weight I have put on could be a protective mechanism from my past experiences of feeling violated. The extra weight “protects” me as I no longer get the attention from others that I used to get when I was thin. And its true… when i think of being thin and fit, I do feel a bit uncomfortable. Anyway, Im going to get ready for my sons MRI shortly. Hope all goes well there. Have a great, fantastic, joyful day everyone!

Yes the uncertainty! But it’s like the good kind. If you stay sober you get to open all the presents!

One of those days when I feel I suck at communicating with people. I’ll try again tomorrow. 
Now I need some calming breathing exercise and sleep.

Day 20 sober
Just at work currently. Many meetings throughout the day. Gonna meetup with some friends for dinner and then hopefully do gym and whatnot 
A huge outage occurred on the production management network of this telecom I work at lol. Scary if the internet or mobile service broke during that time as nearly all our monitoring was down. Thankfully it’s fixed now

Day 19
I’m starting to take control of things. My morning routine is working without forcing myself. My workshop is clean and tidy, as are my bedroom and closets.
Alcohol has left me alone today. I signed up for drawing classes and made my schedule for August. I’ve been drinking too much sugary soda for the past 5 days, but that won’t go on for long because I will start a diet tomorrow. I want to lose weight around my stomach.
And tonight, 2 good hours of reading.
Have a good sober evening everyone.

Ive been having similar thoughts, as much as I want a relationship, I see how my alcoholism has prevented me from knowing who truly am, what I value most, and what I want out of life. If I get into a relationship now, i will be more likely to absorb that persons values, behavoirs, goals instead of rediscovering my own.
So heres to self exploration and turning it over to the HP

Woke up a little late this morning but was finally motivated to take care of some “life admin” tasks that ive been procrastinating on and have therefore been causing me anxiety. They all took about 45 minutes total 
why do I do this to myself?! Executive dysfunction Ive heard it called.
Going to try and stay positive and productive the rest of the day. I have some library books due next week I want to finish, Im working on my 4th step, and I should probably go outside at least once. Still having pain problems, but Im getting better at just accepting it and moving on with my life.
Have a great day my loves!
