With 65 days sober, I feel great on a physical level, but emotionally i feel drained...almost bored...I think it's making me realize how empty my life really is..when i was drinking i could have cared less...there's no way i'm turning back to alcohol, I guess I just need to start doing things...beside sleep.... could be the weather....some sunshine would do wonders!!
Money can't buy happiness but it sure is good for paying bills.

Grateful today for all the good things in my life...and for all the obstacles I had to overcome along the way because it was those obstacles that led me to a better path and a life worth living.

Today is not starting out very well. Stomach ache, depressed and anxious, and freezing cold in here. Sick and tired of feeling tired and sick. 
Too cold to walk the dogs for exercise and diversion, too anxious to take a nap to pass the time. I'll be glad when it's bedtime and this day is over...

Saw this thread and thought: What a good idea!
I need to get in touch with my feelings.
I´ve been tender this weekend, wonder why I´m feeling this way.
I want to escape this daily struggle and live in an exotic country.
Sometimes things can look too overwhelming. I need to dedramatize the situation, make it look less, not more.

Like Lilya, I too have been feeling tender this weekend. This last week was pretty bad though, a lot of sad and lonely. Today I feel a little more hopeful, but mostly emotionally tired. I'm also scared that the next thing that comes along might break me.

I am feeling hopeful today - that things are starting to fall into place - and i truly believe that my higher power is looking after me.
Something strange happened to me yesterday - I was driving to an interview, listening to the radio and they were talking about people who had lost their engagement/wedding rings and then found them again - several people texted in and it got me thinking about my engagement ring which i lost last year, we have since moved house and i had given up all hope of finding it. I arrived at the interview, and took out a paper pad, couldn't find a pen so was rummaging around at the bottom of my rucksack and pulled out a pen - and what was around the pen - you've guessed it - my ring!! I walked into the interview with a huge smile on my face - doesn't matter if I get or not - just had that lovely feeling that someone was there for me

Feeling anxious and very depressed and can't do anything about it. 
So exhausted I'm about to drop but can't stop running. Feel like I'm being chased. Feel like I'm in a race for my life... and I'm losing.

feel for you least
hello everyone... hello least... i feel for you having a hard time today. it will get better. i promise... i am a meth addict. i have 36 days clean today. it has been a very difficult uphill battle. i have hung in there through intense cravings. i can say that it has gotten easier since i hit the 30 mark. which is a relief because i don't think i could have continued straining to stay clean one more day if i hadn't have gotten some kind of relief from the obsession.
this is a feeling thread, so i guess i will talk about how i am feeling. i feel glad to be in recovery today... wow! can't believe i just said that!!! today is a good day to be alive and present, showing up for life....CLEAN!
