Hey guys, checking in at day 123. Whoa i don’t think I’ve reached this far before. Its been a long journey and I know I have a long journey ahead. I’ve been doing well I think. I was abit sad when someone told me they didn’t think I was stable. And then when I said I thought I am and asked why she thought that, which was cool, instead of getting upset straight away I asked her why, and she said, “just the other day you said you were struggling and sad and stuff” and I told her that struggling emotionally, which is normal when a friend dies, is not the same as being unstable. I have been hurting, but I haven’t gotten high, or acted with impulse, or been erratic and destructive. So I explained to her that feeling sad is not the same as being unstable and that inspite of intense emotions I’ve been doing the right things day by day and not letting my emotions consume me and paralyze me. I think she understood better after that. So I was pleased with my response. So here goes another day. I finally have a day off which is so nice I needed it. So praying for you all today! Have a great day. Love you all.
This right here is huge growth. I’m really proud of the way you handled it Stacey. What a very mature conversation. I’m very sorry for your loss but it sounds like you’ve got a good grip on how to handle this sober. And I bet that person learned a lot from your great explanation about feelings versus instability. Keep up the good work.
