First of all @anon5474661 and all other ladies using (yes others have used it too recently) this expression, skip that from your vocabulary. It is obvious that many of us are suffering from addiction for a reason. We have emotions but don’t know what to do with them. Hide them, camouflage them, shout them out, play they don’t exist, whatever… and alcohol solved all those problems. This may sound like a cheap psychology but I strongly believe that it has something to do with childhood and how we were treated by that time. So we never learned to cope until we invented the magic potion. And now, sobriety hits us in the face with all raw, unformed, uncomfortable and unknown reactions and feelings. We are like toddlers learning to walk and to love ourselves the way we are. Life goes on, gives us challenges at the same time. It’s rough, but I know you can cope it. People have such enormous strength in them. It is important to learn to reach out for help. Every time someone does it to me, it warms my heart. There is no drama. It’s just life.
Big virtual hug darling Kairi. Pm me if you want. I’m here for you 
And let’s be lama queens instead

So much going on in our thread. I’ve not been able to check in as often as I’d like but I’ve been trying to read along. @keiti Kairi, so sorry you’re struggling. I hope you find answers and peace soon! @Fireweed Hanna, you are such a strong person and constantly inspire me. Your recent post brought a tear to my eye. Having 3 daughters, I hope they will have the inner strength that you have.
I’ve been busy with work and family stuff. Also I have been interviewing for a new job. I’ve been at my current one for over 6 years and I’m not a big fan of change, so it stresses me out a bit. But it could be a great opportunity. But overall, life is good and I’m feeling so strong in my sobriety.
Oh… and

@BillS giving advice is always walking on thin ice especially what comes to parenting, but my educational philosophy consists of borders and abundant love. And that makes it freakin’ difficult sometimes
One therapist said that especially girls need to hear from their father that they are exceptional, beautiful and lovable this being a little hetero normative though
