Day 463 
Have my son back into my house
He arrived yesterday at 19.00 from Germany. But he’s busy already. He went to work today and is going to see his friends tonight. Within 2 weeks he is going to Japan for 2 weeks on his own. Back on time for his 20th birthday.
It’s a bit strange to see your little puppies grow up to adults

It is! I missed him so much, he was away for 6 months. Hope he stick around for a while. But next school year there is another internship and he want to find a place abroad our country again. What did we do wrong?

Yes, dna cought up with him couse i did break his nose before he ran off.
7 years, but he never spoke during trial.
Glad you hit him!! But you do not know his reasons then? That must be awkward 
I know he wanted my golden rings and he thaught that i had much money or something like that… I dont really care about his reasons, it wont help me either way couse it will never change what happend. Only person who can give closure to me is me in the end and thats ok.
Will never dwell again in that piece of past. The journey is always in the present… that decides the future people choose.
Have a great christmass!!
be safe, well and good

I asked because I think for me I would like to have a hint of a reason. Better than nothing at all. I guess otherwise I would have make myself mad by guessing the “why”
Have a great Christmas yourself Joost and thank you for answering my questions

It was not personal, thats what i know, and in the end a young life also was doomed. I feel empathy for him and his family. In the moment it happened he deffinately was more scared then me couse he didnt think i would counter him. Afterwards i should have never done that but he was just standing to close i guess. Fight, flight or freezing are the only options and i did not have any controll in that. I wish i had gave him the stupid things, rings etc but it turned out otherwise. Now my last years are ruined and also his life wille never be the same… Simply no winners but im glad that he does his time. No man, or woman should choose to pick up arms and rob people.

Checkin in on day 9. Double digits tomorrow 
I think this is my first Christmas sober in my 7 year old daughters life. It feels different to me. I hope all of you who are struggling with the pressures of the season are able to find some peace and joy… that’s what this holiday is supposed to be about but that’s been lost in the hustle and bustle. Merry Christmas Eve sober peeps

Hey there, I can sooo relate to this. In my first few months i was having panic attacks in social situations and thought “wtf is going on, this is new”. But it gets better - I’ve learned a lot about myself in sobriety. I’m more introverted than I knew. Some social situations are not for me and that’s ok - I’m glad to know that rather than twin to force it like I did when drinking. But now I can go into social situations that are my type of thing with ease and comfort. Hang tight!

91.52 Days. Checking in on Christmas Eve and getting ready to go to work to get my mind off being lonely. My sister finally backed off about tonight. I didn’t realize she was coming out to the restaurant tomorrow with my parents and my late uncle’s wife, so crap. I already agreed to go. #%$&@ 
We’ll see what happens.
Drinking thoughts are slowly creeping in, so I need to be honest about it. I’m my own worst enemy. I feel like if I drank I would have a better social life. But here’s the truth:
-
I would suddenly be social and call my other alcoholic friends to go out and be blackout stupid. Which leads to…
-
Being holed up in my apartment alone, drinking for 7+ days straight and going completely MIA, eating zero food. Sounds super social doesn’t it?
So I have to keep thinking through what happens when I drink.

@Conor689908 thanks . Today I am feeling a little bit better. 6 days sober. I am worry because this evening I have to face a very difficult convert with a difficult person. I don’t know how I will react.
The daughter of my friends had appeared but in a very bad shape, completely numb. Cocaine is involved, thanks for your prayers. Only a Higher Power can help, so many times I discover how little control I have of life

@Girlinterrupted just another day with stress thrown on top that isn’t needed. This is sober Christmas #1 for me, going to just go visit inlaws for as long as I can tolerate.
#113. Mouse killah this morning. Chased little *F’er for a bit, got squished, maybe another but i just don’t care. 1.5 hours of my life lost. Daughter’s cats destroyed subwoofer grill and chair. Super irritated. Advil and coffee please.
