Fortunately itās not myself I have to forgive. But I do need to keep working on forgiving some people who have deeply hurt me. Iām just taking it one day at a time. Feeling very frustrated and angry right now. But I know that in time that will pass. I need to feel the feelings instead of trying to escape.

Then itās on them to carry the burden, my apologies for assuming incorrectly. Itās been my experience that our own offenses are hardest to let go ofā¦

Happy Friday, friends. Just kicking back tonight and watching some TV. It was a mostly crappy week at work. Its 8:30 pm and during my drinking years, I would have been blotto by now. So happy to not have that shit in my life anymore.
Any exciting plans for the weekend? Iām going to my college alma-mater football game tomorrow afternoon with my daughter. Maybe a bike ride. Definitely a nap or two!

Could be Kairi. Obviously Iām no expert but I would look at this as exactly that.
You are doing great and I would imagine that your family donāt see any of what you are thinking.
Try to turn that thought around and be positive. Itās a good thing youāre procrastinating. Being mindful.
Have a great day.

@keiti darling I rember having exact same feelings last winter. Guilt and willingness to cope it all. Then many people reminded me that sobriety is now prior one, the rest will follow. And it happened. Iām mean I feel much more lighter now and not like Iām a selfish and a bad mom having my own life too. In time you will notice the progress I promise you. Now concentrate on your sobriety and YOU, without care. Remember itās the greatest gift you can give to your children

Kairi, I wish I had a different thought then this but itās the same for me. Iāve isolated myself from most people except my wife and children. My boys get all of my focus and time and it leaves very little for anything else. Iām fine with it though and I do realize I use the excuse of kids baseball for almost everything Iād rather not be part of, which is just about anything with other people. Iām much more at ease or at peace this way. I dont know if itāll ever get back to me being mr. social and Iām not sure how I feel about that. So for now itās just one day at a timeā¦I hope your situation will get better or at least change a bit to make it easier to copeā¦

Happy earth rotation, my people! Delicious blustery fall day out here!
Waiting in the airport for my bus back. Ronin has run off and found a slick little lookout spot Iām a little jealous of.
Getting foolish ideas to pounce on unsuspecting travellers, though. Iām giving him the ādonāt you dareā stare, and so far message received. He knows I can just leave him behind. Itās hard to deliver the stare with a straight face, though, because he gives me this ridiculously sheepish āI know you know what Iām doing but I reeeeallly wannaā look. And my mischievous side kinda wants to see what would happenā¦
Boarding time though now, sigh. Time to wrestle this stowaway furball into my pack again. Always a fun timeā¦
