Day 21.
Finally made it to three weeks!!! Ended up super busy yesterday afternoon and evening. Today and this week are crazy busy at work. I hate I am missing so many check-ins, but work and life call for my attention right now.

Hello!

Today is day 9 for me! I woke up this morning and made cheesy eggs for my minis before school (which hasnā€™t happened in well over a year) and I styled their hair (We usually donā€™t have time in the morning for styling). Doesnā€™t seem like something to be excited about, but for me this is huge! I am getting my energy back. Yesterday I finally got back to chores I had been neglecting and still had energy to spare after! Just wanted to share that things are looking upā€¦

Hope everyone has/ is having a great day!

Hi Chris, Iā€™m sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. I havenā€™t been through what youā€™ve been through but in my sobriety I am learning more and more about my feelings; and like you say, being sober makes everything better :smile:

This thread started a little while ago and really snowballed. A lot of different experiences of people with their fathers. If you are comfortable to read it over, you might find it makes you think:

Thank you for sharing Chris. Take care :innocent:

Good perspective James. There is a lot of wisdom in your words - and joy in your experience (terror too - but joy from the growth). Iā€™m happy for you buddy :innocent:

Thanks Menno,
Ya know what, I often have to remind my wife that the best thing we can do right now is maintain the status quo. Iā€™m trying not to cram too much into this short time we have together. Thanks for reaching out. I really cherish my TS family.

Bit of a hard time since Friday really since the one who I hope for support from has decided to give me the silent treatment.
All over me asking her not to call me chasing up where I am and why I was taking so long when I went to collect her car that Iā€™d taken to its service and got caught up in traffic in both directions.
Itā€™s a thing that annoys me.
She calls and asks to be picked up and moments later sheā€™s calling asking where I am having barely had time to get shoes on and get in the car.
Silly really.
I asked her never to call me again to hurry me up, Iā€™ll be there when Iā€™m there unless Iā€™m really stuck for ages on a motorway or something.
Note, I donā€™t have a history of disappearing and returning hammered or staying out or anything so itā€™s completely unnecessary.
Sorry to rant.
So during this ridiculous silent treatment, the atmosphere in my own home has stunk and Iā€™m sure most of you will know where your thoughts go when youā€™re so frustrated.
Iā€™ve tried to begin conversation but itā€™s just pointless resulting in moody murmered responses.
Not what I need to kill my sober buzz right now.
