My shoulder has been really bothering me and I’m trying anything and everything meditating, praying I’m running out of healthy ways to deal with this. I need help :smirk:

Sure I’m getting ready to jump in the shower but as soon as I get out :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts: nothing drastic I just wanted a little change is all. I’m changing inside so why now a little on the outside :heart:

It looks great Hollz! You look like a million bucks. Better actually - because money is boring, doesn’t have anything interesting to say. You are interesting to talk to, which makes you better than a million bucks!

Feels nice right? It’s nice to take time & care for ourselves. I like that. Time to rest, care for our bodies, give them space, time, and attention :innocent:

@Matt i feel so much better. And I look a million times better then I looked a month ago I honestly am surprised when I look in the mirror that I’m looking at myself

Beautiful! I love it Holly!
I never really took care of myself during active addiction so when I get a cut and color now it feels amazing. We deserve to treat ourselves.

So I had a pretty good day. I went to the doctor. went and worked for a couple hours because they needed help at work. did some reading on here and on my own, went to the store and came home n made chicken and noodles, homemade stuffing mashed potatoes and biscuits. Already have gotten my shower. Threw the laundry in and made the schedule for work :muscle:
I’m feeling empowered and insightful and I really like it

Started off a little shaky but I learned something so that is always a great thing and I look at my days now against my days before I got sober and can’t help but wonder how I lived like that for so long

It’s like waking up after a disturbing sleep. It’s wonderful but also you can’t believe what you went through while you were out :grimacing:

Give Lifering.org a try! Online meetings and nothing like AA. Most groups have wonderful people in them and have great cross talk. They’ve been huge for me.

You too Hollz! :innocent:






35 days into my new life of sobriety and I can hardly recognize myself in the mirror. My eyes are bright and not bloodshot. I’m gaining weight back because I’m actually eating instead of having a diet of straight alcohol and more importantly I actually can look at myself in a mirror and not have to look away because of guilt and shame. My children are proud of me and love me and that is worth looking at
