52 days of freedom.

Grateful for the 5 year old birthday party I’ll be attending tonight. Pizza and cake! There’s probably gonna be wine and beer there. I won’t be drinking. I will probably be playing with legos or watching a movie with the kids.

  1. It’s always been of mind to me that peoples first reactions are seldomly how people really feel and it’s not until the initial shock has passed can we think clearly and level. I managed to come back down to Earth enough today…take a deep breath, say what I needed to say and finally touch back down. Thankyou those who sent messages and responded to my posts. :slight_smile: I think I’m going to have to keep a serious eye on that white-hot temper of mine for a while.

Day 69
Had an upsetting visit with my friend who has cancer. Turns out some things I was doing that I thought were helpful were having the opposite effect. Felt shocked, then ashamed, then guilty, then defensive, then ashamed again. Normally would have gone down ‘you’re so fucking dumb, everyone hates u’ rabbit hole. This time being grateful she felt close enough to me to tell the truth. And also that there is no blame on either side. I didn’t know I was being insensitive, so no blame, and of course no blame for her. Made me realise I am always looking for blame. Either it is my fault (and I feel ashamed) or the other person’s fault (and I feel angry). But there are some (many?) situations where blame is not a component. Made me think about where that comes from. My mother was an unhappy, angry woman, who put a lot of blame on other people. And I have know for a long time that I am extremely poor at disagreements, even small ones, from watching the quite frankly nuclear arguments between my mother and stepdad (actually biological father, likely, that is a whole other can of worms). But just glad that this situation with my friend felt constructive rather than an attack on me as a person. I am growing emotionally stronger.

162 days. Yesterday, I passed my preliminary test for my health and life insurance license. I work for an insurance broker and need this license to keep my job. Now it’s time to take the state test. It’s not easy. 500 questions and 3 hours. Finding time to study is challenging. Being sober has allowed me to advance my career and everything else in life.

I’m sorry your bike got stolen. I live in a bike-friendly city where a lot of bikes get stolen too. :confused:
How do you feel physically after your bike crash earlier? I hope you are alright.

Checking in, still sober :white_check_mark: Heard some upsetting news earlier and it sort of put all of my own stuff in perspective. Things really aren’t that bad and there is so much to be thankful for. Happy Friday everyone :yellow_heart::sparkles::dizzy:
