Hey Faith!!! How are you?! Hope ur doing well š©·
I need to be hereā¦I hate to admit that I have found my great strength in sobriety but it is causing an adverse reaction from the other halfā¦ Why canāt he be happy to see me strong? I am no threat to his masculinity in fact my strength has proved to be quite beneficial in the domestic duties requested. I donāt want to be a woman bashing men in general but sure feel like clobbering my loved one. He is an āASSā. I might feel better now having expressed myself. Thanks for the spot where I can do thatā¦

I am so happy that you are here and gaining so much strength in sobriety! This is amazing 
I am sorry that your partner is not happy to see you becoming emotionally and physically strong.
You are growing and your growth is showing! I do hope that your āASSā comes around and starts seeing how amazing your journey is for you - the wonderful woman who is finding her way back to living her best life.

Oof, just my own silly brain trying to work against me instead of with me. Not the first time this happened. Gotta work through it I guess but part of me just wants to wallow in it but I know that isnāt healthy

Iād be earl grey and the frase truly resonantes with me, but my phrase, the INE that keeps me going is āstill I riseā. I took it from a poem by Maya Angelou, and reminds me that no matter how hard it gets, I will rise.
I came back to sober time after a few years of innactivity. I was here after I got into trouble in my recovery group and I found a safe place here to share my pain, experiencie and happiness. Iād now eight years and a half sober and happy to be back.

Love the image, thanks for sharing.
There is an incredibly valid reason for this, such as :
- feels like a waiting room for something to arrive
- not every pause is ābadā, you may need reflection
- progress out if rut may feel like betrayal
- you feel something in the rut
- letting go of pain is, well, super painful.
You are ok no matter where you are, options are available to you
