Hey Mike, you are not here to please anyone. Be yourself. You are great and you did so much. So keep on. Life sucks from time to time. And sometimes it sucks more. I learned that is is not good in any way to bottle up all the feelings, just to be the funny person. You will die inside.

You are good and I appreciate you being here and sharing also miserable feelings.

Hugs, Franzi

Hey Mike, I don’t respond often, but I love seeing your posts: the good; the bad, and the ugly. That’s just a saying by the way!! :+1::sweat_smile::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

You are a fighter. I quietly think you are a rock star. Keep that to yourself though. :muscle::+1: :muscle::star:

Sendin you so so much strength Mikey. I really really struggled around the time you are at rn…the holidays (holidaze as I like to call them) really fucked with me last year-we are heading into a time where anxiety is going to reach an ultimate high. Keep on the course you’re on…the feeling will pass. You are so strong & im so proud of you. Hugs.

270 ?? That’s awesome :clap::clap:
I can’t remember if you saw my post but the 3 or 4 days leading up to my 300 were just shit filled depressed anxiety. Even though I knew there’s milistone funk in recovery I just couldn’t shake it. I exercised as usual. And meditated as usual. And there was still this god awful funk. I never wanted to pick up. Just felt shit blah. You know out of all the years we picked to be sober we’re doing it in the shittiest year possible. So much bullshit going on now everywhere. And we are all doing it sober. You will get through this. Just like I did.

I feel you don’t always have to feel happy. Sometimes we just got to feel the uncomfortable stuff. Isn’t that what this sober shit is all about anyway? You just keep learning to feel. The good and the bad.

You got those beautiful children. And you’re worth it. I will see you, sir, on the other side of 9 months soon enough.
One lousy day at a time.
That’s all ya got to do.
