Heyyyyy! I just finished 30 days without social media! I know I’ve complained about loneliness on here a lot and I’ve struggled with lack of meaningful work (besides being a mom) and so I was hoping this would motivate me to think outside the box! And it did! I finally took up photography and I have 38 seedlings right now I’ve been growing, I am going to plant them after the last frost date. Haha! I finally don’t feel lonely anymore and my mental health has been so, so much better! I think I may try to just check social media once every couple of weeks or something. I’m not sure yet, but glad to have broken that habit.
Miss you guys… much love to you all my friends … I’m at day 978 I think!

Aw! What a precious face, beautiful like her mama. I’m glad to hear your update and that the social media black out went well. A 30 day break helped me to find a balance in using it and I feel a lot more comfortable setting healthy boundaries around my time connected virtually these days and take longer breaks when I need to. And hooray for the new projects and less loneliness!!!

Thank you @AlexWayhill for your support. I e been diving head first into my AA community. Going to daily meetings and doing prayer and readings. It’s been 10 months since I saw my daughter….I choose alcohol over her. I have a lot of shame and resentment. I’m on speaking terms with my estranged wife. We are taking it one day at a time.

I don’t know you well. I do respect your decisions and actions. What you write about isolation and the conflict you feel about how to be in the world does fit with the arc you have shared with us so far. You are a person who feels deeply and thinks much. You are moved by the injustice you witness. Like me, you are trying to reconcile how to be in the physical world, in a culture, in a family, with how to be in the divine. It can feel selfish sometimes and we’ve been inculcated with “selfish is bad”.
Sobriety is no guarantee that life will be light and meaningful. Life will be heavy and confusing at times, and that can be for a day or a season or a year.
May you continue to feel the blessings and love that is showering over us.
