Checking in daily to maintain focus #8


If that mountain seems too high and at first you don’t succeed, take a couple of run ups like me. Have a peaceful day all.

@Dejavu I know exactly what you mean… I can feel you so much. Had this a lot with my kids too. Wishing you all the best. Hope the cold is gone soon with you and baby. Patience and much sleep for you. Your baby is sooo sweet though and this makes up for everything :heart::heart_eyes::four_leaf_clover::bouquet:

Day 50!! Time flies! It’s been a rollercoaster. Good things are happening in my life at this moment.
I recently discoverd that I can’t take to much on at once. One thing at a time.
Otherwise I feel overwhelmd. That leeds to more stress and worrying.
And that leeds to…? My alcoholic voice screaming in my head for a drink to calm my nerves!
And that can’t happen!

Have a good one!

Done trying to fix my “ex” partner, definitely done trying to fix my neighbor, but I’m fixing my neighbors cat!

As always, thank you for the support, the advice and the humor. I need all of them right now!

  1. Very busy day yesterday. Productive one. Good one. Meeting with GP after a very busy work day was good. Talking about my problems without being judged is always nice :sunglasses: She gave me a referral to a good institute for further diagnostics, I have been diagnosed with BPD before but never based on solid grounds. Might be something totally different, and why would I want or need a label anyway? (answer: if I want a good therapy and have it covered by insurance, I need a diagnosis first). Had a productive talk to my friend afterwards. Followed by a spinning class. Followed by a good meal I cooked myself. Hardly had any time to check TS. Caught up with that this morning (or at least this thread). Happy to see so many milestones and positive posts! (@Jane.c , @050Nl , @Francisco1 @Hidden , @Jonachav123 , @those I’m forgetting).
    Today is about rest and recoup. Feeling better as I have in weeks. Thanks for being here all. It helps so much. Good times and bad ones. Have a good day all! Sober and clean. Love form Amsterdam.

Sorry you and the baby are sickies :cry: I hope you feel better soon!
I take NyQuil and/or Tylenol cold when necessary. However, I think it’s a personal decision. It’s not triggering to me. I’m not sure if you’re in a program or not, some frown on it.

Emotionally spent… I left work early for the second day in a row. Spent most of the time off crying. I napped for a few hours. I’ve never been capable of sleeping during the day unless passed out from booze. I hate how negative and whiny I’ve been on here. Sorry. I just don’t know if I’m going to make it. I don’t even want to go into details because some of it is just so embarrassing and I hate who I am sometimes. I hate being so sensitive and insecure.

This is a (the) place to share all kinds of feelings and thoughts Beth. And while I hate seeing you struggle, I’m thankful and glad you share about it here. Makes me feel secure and safe here in sharing my shit myself. I’m sorry you hate being so sensitive and insecure right now. I do recognise what your saying because I feel so often like that myself. Sensitive is what we are and it is a burden at times but can be such a gift too as we feel and see deep and can learn so much. Insecurity comes with it I’m afraid but we can work at that. Hugs friend hang in there and keep going I know it’s hard.

Hang tight lady, my emotions eventually started to level out with more sober time. I cried A LOT for the first 6 months. I felt so hyper sensitive to everything. Early sobriety made me feel like I had been skinned alive and was standing in the town square - if there was a slight breeze, it stung. It gets better though, I promise!!! And then it is sooooooooooo worth it :kissing_heart:

Day 503. In my drinking days, I missed multiple flights due to being intoxicated and then not waking up. Not today!!!

Haha, that poor animal… so many trying to fix it

I’d rather not call my mumbling an advice, more like shared experience. Giving advice is always walking on thin ice if not a saint :grin: which I ofcourse am, but not a perfect one

@Mtrav0040 thank you so much. Today is day 9 sober and I see progression too. It is due to more connection than ever with others and an increase of prayer. No cravings today

@Girlinterrupted God bless your soul!!! Don’t hate yourself please!!! Being sensitive and that it is not a curse. It is a gift and we have to learn how to address it correctly. Those who love suffer a lot. You are a loving person, a lovely person a person full of gifts. See how many people here love you and this is virtual!!! But your posts transmit honesty, truth and reality. :pray:t5::two_hearts::raised_hands:t5::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::dog::cat::cat::hamster::rabbit:
