Checking in on day 13 in the evening
I wait a few hours in my car while my 15-year-old daughter and her friends enjoy themselves at a music festival, and then Iāll drive them home. I parked further away, in a quiet spot. Iāve brought some nice jazz music, a ginger beer, and my book.
And luckily, itās 23Ā°C. Alone, sober, calm, and happy that my daughter is having fun and staying safe. Iām glad to be a father and savor this moment.
Have a good, sober evening, everyone!

I struggle with a lot of the same issues. Definitely feels better to let go of what no longer serves us. The ADHD is realā¦ I literally call my tasks squirrels 
Thank you for all the kind words of support.

WOW ā this hit home. I love this quote ā thank you for sharing 
Lets heal that bullet hole in sobriety
Yes you can! Love this for youā¦ a deep clean and getting rid of our āstuffā is so freeing and therapeutic. It really is baffling how much āstuffā we can accumulate. I am working on minimalizing my possessions. I really donāt āNEEDā all that I have.
@noshame Grateful you were able to dry off and calm down. I would be upset too if I got sprayed while at work. Hope the rest of your day is going well
@lasse OMG! That is one gorgeous looking sky Thank you for sharing. Such vibrant and beautiful colors! Grateful that you are enjoying sober travelling ā life really is so much better sober

@Just_Laura sending hugs and strengthā¦thatās a lot to be dealing with all at once 
@Seb Iām glad you are beginning to recover after your operation 
I hope the gnocchi turns out good!
Checking in on day 787. Iāve cried quite a bit this week, which is rare for me. Probably therapy working its magic and releasing some emotions, eh.
I cried over my divorce. Not because Iām sad it is happening, I know it was the right choice. Rather, I suppose, acknowledging the good times we had in years past, the love that used to be there, and being sad it went away and left us where we are at now.
I also cried over my illness. I think Iām finally coming to accept that have a chronic illness/disability and not just symptoms that I can push through and make/will myself better. It is just so fucking hard after being such a fit and active person, with a semi decent brain, to accept I am limited in my movements, energy and brain power. Trying to push through ME symptoms actually causes more damage, which can be permanent, and I donāt want to end up even more restricted in my movements. I have had to stop dog walking for now even 
The doctors have been of little help, so Iām looking into alternative therapies now. I just feel lost, lonely, isolated and a bit of a shell of myself right now. I will find my positive pants again soon 
it feels like going through the stages of grief I think 
sorry for the vent, I just needed to get it out somewhere. Thank goodness Iām sober through this 
happy weekend all

Let those tears flow girl - -A parting of a relationship even when you are the one making the decision is still hard. Of course you two had some good times and that makes it harder to part with. You are making the right decision for you and Iām grateful you are working on the next chapter in your life.
Much love to you. You are a strong vibrant woman. I do hope that the alternative therapies are helpful and that you can start on them immediately. I do know how hard it is to not be able to be your true self cause your body places limits on your abilities. Stay positive and keep your head up - still need to focus on all the blessings. DO hope that you experience more good days than not so good. Sending love and hugs Here if you need to talk or vent!

I had to pick my daughter up at school for a doctorās appointment and there was nowhere to park. I finally found one reserved spot I could grab and backed up so I could get in. I barely touched another car and left a small black mark (not even a dent). She insisted on getting my insurance card even though I told her I would rather take care of it without insurance. Weāll see what she decides to do. I really have been having a hard time paying my auto insurance with it being so high and it is finally starting to come down. I would be really bummed to have an insurance claim for something so small. But I really donāt have the extra cash to pay her a lot of $. Iāve been pretty bummed since this happened. I managed to get my daughter to her appointment, then pick up my son and finish my work day, so thatās good at least. Calling my sponsor soon.
