Day 223! Storm today. Were about to go out paint today but that wonā€™t really be possible I guess. Iā€™ll go to a meeting in an hour and take it from there.
Hope you all have a great Monday :sparkling_heart:

That sounds super hard. It seems the biggest problem is lack of time? U canā€™t do everything and u have to accept that and do what u can and that be enough. Are u likely to get a proper break any time soon where u can recharge urself and ur relationships with others?

All you do is survive right now MrCade. No time for recovery. Logical you feel like thereā€™s not much for you here right now. Or that your relationship with your wife is lacking intimacy. Youā€™re having an extremely hard time in your life. Please hang in there. You got my admiration. And all our support I am sure.

You know Iā€™m behind you Cade, in more ways than days sober, my friend :smile:.
Well done on leading the meeting.
I can only imagine what is going on in your head bud. I know that I would be working like mad to get as much money in the bank if it was me.
All I can say is trust in your higher power, and remember that there are people here who are sending you love and strength.:hugs:

Thanks xo
Didnā€™t check in yesterday. Feeling a little overwhelmed.

Still sober, but Iā€™m in a funk. With all the trauma Iā€™m trying to deal with, my daughter put her hands on me last night and I just canā€™t take it anymore. Iā€™m sore and in pain. Sheā€™s more than twice my size and Iā€™m terrified of her. I canā€™t get her to move out. She doesnā€™t pay rent or help with the bills. Sheā€™s 23. She berates me daily. Yesterday, she crossed the line yet again, and put her hands on me. Iā€™m afraid to do or say anything around her. Sheā€™s a bully and terrifying. I donā€™t think she has any love or respect for me. I donā€™t know what to do. I donā€™t want to throw her on the street, but I canā€™t live like this anymore. Sheā€™s lovely with everyone else in her life. So itā€™s just me. I was taking my other daughter back to her dad last night and was contemplating getting booze and sleeping pills on the way home. I got over that quickly, but over the past few years, pretty much since meeting my stbx, my life has completely tanked. Sorry to be so negative, but I canā€™t wait to just get to work so I can focus on that and not this.

Checking in. The last few weeks have been up and down, but I have journaled and reflected and communicated; I have joined some new recovery groups; and Iā€™ve learned I need to accept what I canā€™t do. I donā€™t have to cram ā€œthe perfect scheduleā€ into my calendar. I put what I can do into the calendar, and if I get a call about, Why doesnā€™t your calendar have X and Y and Z? then I will say, thank you for the input, I will look at it. For this week, I have planned what I think is possible.

Getting some stuff done is better than being paralyzed trying to be everything, right? :smiley:

Yeah, sort of. Iā€™m taking time off work this week actually, to help her with her business. Itā€™s sort of a mini road trip.
