Just processing things in different ways I suppose, and I'm an overthinker. Any reading material you guys can recommend, I'm all for it.

Thanks all.
You absolutely CAN do it, SaturatedSeize, even in bad times.

Build to recover plan and remember - the best is yet to come and so us the amazing!!!!

What a list:
V, StartingOver and zep building weeks already, Oly set in for the long haul, jsm, dear jsm!, jen quietly building some serious sobriety time, CK gorgeous girl ONE YEAR, and vana with an awesome 2.4years.

I'm in the best company today!!! Love the lot of you.

I was making porridge this morning as the light of dawn came into the kitchen and flooded the flatlands, and I crushed some cardamom pods in the pestle and mortar and the scent was so uplifting I thought I really do have a life beyond my wildest dreams. Funny how it is where you don't think to look.

Little birdys stuffing themselves on seed, fat balls, peanuts and robin maggots(?)(sounds bad) and the air was full of clouds of feathery movement. A good day today. I didn't think I'd make it.

It wasn't long ago I got lost on the motorway and pulled into a gas station and lost it when I saw the booze on sale. I wouldn't have made it without SR that day. I guess the noise and the smell and the panic in early recovery.

I am so grateful for you guys and gals. I love it here.

Oh God.....you made me cry Weev.

This is so beautiful.....this is EVERYTHING. ♥♥

Dad’s funeral was today. Lots of his old friends and loads of my relatives came in town to pay respects. It’s great to see everybody. Still, it’s a hard to say goodbye. I miss him like crazy.

24 more.

Checking in for 24 hours. Read a very useful piece of advice from Daniel Harmon:

"Feelings are real but they are not reality"

We may feel sad, angry, depressed. Those feelings are real. But to say that my life is worthless ? We may feel this way but that is not reality.

Congrats to the milestoners and prayers to those that are struggling

Another 24 hours of happiness, compassion and sobriety pls ! Its 11:09am here !

When one is a stranger to oneself, then one is estranged from others, too.

There's a person inside each of us just itching to be known and loved. But if we don't get to know and love that person, how can we expect anyone else to know us?

That's why it's so important to spend time alone getting acquainted with ourselves. And how do we do that? We can sit quietly with ourselves, thinking and listening. Then we can write our thoughts in a journal, or we can draw or paint them. If we play a musical instrument, we can put our thoughts and feelings into music.

When we make the time and effort to know ourselves, it encourages others to want to know us, too. Since everything we do and feel begins inside us, we must feel good about ourselves in order to feel good about anything else. What wonders we are, that we have all the power we need to make our world a happy one!

How do I feel about myself today?
This is fantastic, erfra. Thanks so much!!!!

I am so glad that you are back !!! ❤️
