Then when I mentioned my life long depression he said that when you are clinically depressed, it sometimes isn't your own hand that does the tuning. And all this time I beat myself up about my emotions, my reactions, the way I feel. I think it's time to accept that this isn't all my fault. Yes, I can choose happiness when that dial is tuned into the right frequency but there are days where I literally feel like I have no control over that.
Anyway, not sure why I wanted to share that. Maybe someone else out there will relate.
I spend a lot of time in our basement today, hiding out. And I haven't been "on track" with my eating for what feels like weeks. I am in a bad place emotionally and I just want to feel better than this.
But- I am sober. 8 months and 2 days sober and I will take that any day over numbing the anxiety and depression through the bottle.

I would like 24 more please on day 56
Thank you Sunflowerlife, Venuscat, and others for posting about the difficult times you have been going through. I'm sorry things have been rough for you, but sometimes its good to hear relatable stories like this, as I know I and I think many others share some of these experiences and when we hear others share the same things it helps us feel at home here
And yes, I think the vitamin D helps too. I was taking it pretty regularly and stopped taking it for a couple of weeks and noticed my mood drop. Since I started taking it regularly again the last week or so it feels like its been getting better. This time of year can be rough for many of us who live in the more northern places

Good morning peeps
Ready for work. Last night went I was in bad the thought of drinking came to mind
For couple of minutes I entertained but but here I’m hangover free
Let’s keep going with another 24 hrs. More
Thought for the Day
Keeping sober is the most important thing in my life. The most important decision I ever made was my decision to give up drinking. I am convinced that my whole life depends on not taking that first drink. Nothing in the world is as important to me as my own sobriety. Everything I have, my whole life, depends on that one thing. Can I afford ever to forget this, even for one minute?
Meditation for the Day
I will discipline myself. I will do this disciplining now. I will turn out all useless thoughts. I know that the goodness of my life is a necessary foundation for its usefulness. I will welcome this training, for without it, God cannot give me His power. I believe that this power is a mighty power when it is used in the right way.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may face and accept whatever discipline is necessary. I pray that I may be fit to receive God's power in my life.

I don't think there's anything narrow-minded about taking a stand and/or taking a break. We're all on the same journey but our paths are different and as long as we're staying sober, I reckon we're all moving in the right direction. Love you Pebs xxxx
