@CR84 whoop whoop girl…triple digits :tada:…way to go Cass​:flexed_biceps:t4:. Love the yoga mat ..hope you get to use it soon

@Just_Laura oh man that’s a lot going on girl. I do hope he is getting good care and being treated for all that he is dealing with. Glad you did take a day off for yourself. We are no good to anyone when we are hanging in by a thread. Sending so much :two_hearts: vr and healing energy :folded_hands:t4::folded_hands:t4::heart_exclamation::people_hugging:

@poppyfairy love the wealth of knowledge you just dropped…a welcome reminder :hugs:. Way to crush it girl! 29 months is fantastic :tada::confetti_ball::flexed_biceps:t4:

@Lucalds sorry about the tummy issues last night. So sweet to read that your dad is being active and living life. Depression is crippling and often gets worse when you loose a significant other

So sweet :hugs:. A virtual hug goes a long way too. This community really is beautiful and I am grateful for all the love and support we share here…through the good and the bad. :people_hugging::heart_exclamation: Glad you were proactive and admitted yourself in a safe surrounding. I do hope they can make a plan to help you move forward safely and calmly :folded_hands:t4:

@Ofmiceandroach well done on your 4 months. :confetti_ball::tada:. Grateful that you got through last night. Remember that we are active here 24/7 - reach out when you need. We are in this together :hugs:

@Chevy55 si very grateful that everyone is safe. Glad your wife could pick him up. Hope the car isn’t too damaged and easily repairable

@Marit I’m sorry that your back is hurting. Glad you were able to do a climb.:hugs:

@Mbwoman always great to see you and read your posts. You are loved and missed when you are not around :hugs:. You matter! I too am better on the computer than the phone so do most of my posts using talkingsober.com

@CharlieC I’m so sorry that these people are talking about your marriage behind your backs ..that the situation is causing hurt feelings for your wife and problems for your marriage. We do a lot of stupid, inconsiderate and selfish stuff when we are in our addiction. Hopefully you can show (through actions) that you are becoming better and working on your recovery. Marriage is hard enough without outside input (that’s not a licenced therapist). Hope you two are able work things out.

@LimePuddin1 well done with your timer. Have a wonderful time at church. You are putting in the work and doing your recovery…don’t let the shame hold you back

love that today was calmer day :people_hugging:. Lovely watercolors…should share with us on the Show the artist within you (Part 2) thread

Checking in on Sunday morning

Been a lazy day so far and I’m totally ok with that. Feel fatigued and sore. Snowy outside but seems well taken care of already so driving will not be too much of a hassle.
No plans to go anywhere. May actually take a nap lol. Feeling like I could possibly get some good sleep if I dozed off. :crossed_fingers:t4:

Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day…sending you all so much love :heart: :heart:

Thank you :pink_heart: i have a big ego, have you noticed?, and when I get congrats, the ego activates, I crave. I think anyway. For now, simple likes on my days is what feels safer. Maybe others need this motivation, but i’m trying something new by asking all dont congrats me on my days. When i feel ready to express what feedback i need, ill say it.

Big hugs to you carebear

No no, you did a good thing, just not for me.

I’m responsible anyway, its alwayz my fault if I crave or relapse. I’m trying something new. I’m a little desperate and noticed i dont react well to motivation.

Checking in on day 359

@CanadianGirl Tisha thank you so much for validating this upcoming milestone as a scary and difficult time of memories. I appreciated your kind words.

Yesterday was hard. I was in surgery at work and I worked on my own dog as well- stress on stress with the addition of a fight with my best friend and now the husband. What’s going on with me? :confused: my dog is doing okay now and the rest i can get through. It’s so hard feeling feelings, and especially imposter syndrome and a sense of abandonment from the ones I love. The good news is that the memories raining down on me from this time last year make drinking to cope a non-issue.

@CR84 congrats a little late on your 100 days! I didn’t see it go by!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

Checking in on day 105.

Survived dinner last night at my inlaws. I tried focussing in my food and not on the wine glasses surrounding me :sweat_smile: and I made it through sober!

Today is a much better day!
