24 more!! Late check in. Saw Christopher Robin movie today and who would have thought that would be a trigger, but it was! Flooded with stuff from my childhood!! Sooo took me back to my life in the UK all those years ago! All ok though, stuck close to my peeps today and just chilled and they knew I was a little off. Emotions where in my throat! Grateful to have framily who get it! Just drank my calm magnesium drink and will try to meditate and allow my head to clear. 88 in the books! Much love ❤️ That stuff tiggers me too.....first of all I left 1950s copies of AA Milne books in my flat in Melbourne, sigh, and everything Pooh and friends was the gift my mum gave me....such magic....probably just like yours. "Hush hush whisper who dares...." always makes me cry. I am so glad you have people around you who support you. :) :hug: ♥ |

24 hours please. I haven’t felt like posting at all.... and then I just found a bunch of private messages I didn’t know I had received. Thank you all ❤️❤️❤️ Your support somehow released a little of my grief and has allowed me to come here and share that I am struggling with grief over losing first my beautiful Mum and then also my Dad in quick succession and I don’t have much to offer you at all, just my love and support to everyone else who’s struggling ❤️❤️❤️ I will not drink. You don’t need to drink no matter how awful things get and how overwhelming life gets. Drinking won’t help. Thanks for your messages of support at this extremely sad time in my life. I may not say much here for a while but I do send my Love to you all :Val004: |
In for 24 more. |

Hi Willow, love you lots Hi everyone, I'm not up on the thread of course, I'm posting sporadically around the forum, but kind of low energy. But I'm here and I'm sober. But why can't I learn to keep an even keel with my moods. Huh? Maybe one day. :) :hug: ♥♥ |

Trying to breathe and figure it out, hoping it doesn't happen, but also worried that if he is fired and they say there is cause he may not be able to collect unemployment. A little earlier today I found out a friend from HS has been diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer. At first it was just uterine, and when she went in for a hysterectomy they found masses on her ovaries, and it is advanced. Right now I am just trying to stay focused on breathing. I'm praying for her, and that she somehow finds a way to fight, we are going to talk tomorrow. As for my husband's job, what happens isn't in my control, and we will just need to figure it out. The fact that we are midway through the chapter 13 bankruptcy doesn't help, but we have three healthy and happy kids, and we are both fairly healthy, and that is the important piece. Tonight I'm focusing on breathing. And that is scary re your husband's job, for sure.....praying that this works out for him and you honey. I know you will keep looking after yourself here....but don't forget! You are precious to us. :hug: ♥♥ |
kenton you are divine.....thank you honey!!!! :) ♥♥♥ I'm sorry no one remembered the date love....actually, I just did the same thing and felt awful. My sister messaged me not because of my personal issues, but because it was the anniversary of my mum's death. I forgot. I actually spent most of last night awake feeling horrendous. I don't like remembering these dates....I said as much to my sister last night....I prefer to think of my parents on their birthdays and wedding anniversary. :hug: ♥♥♥♥ |

6:11 am It's a beautiful rainy day here in the NorthEast, USA. Not feeling well- not doing well with the food. I did great all day at work yesterday and then we went to a neighborhood party and I was fine until dessert was served and my 4 year old did not finish his cake. Guess who ate it? I am sick and tired. If I was trying to stop drinking I just wouldn't go to places that serve alcohol. That's how I stopped drinking. I built a little cocoon of safety and I stayed there until I felt strong enough to come out. I can't do that with food. It's everywhere. There are parties, holidays, dinners out- celebrations. There are sweets at work, sweets in the cupboards sometimes for the boys- it's everywhere. I just want to get through these next 6 days without touching a drop of sugar. I have a baby shower to go to and I am probably five pounds heavier than I was before the summer and I am very anxious about it. Nothing is fitting me comfortably anymore. I don't want to care about these things but the way I eat determines the way I feel, 100%. The other night I had the worst sleep I've had in a while. I kept tossing and turning and waking up and each time I would think, "God, I hand this addiction over to you" and "God please take these cravings away from me" and "God, I hand this over to you now." I believe in a higher power and my connection to the Divine is pretty strong these days but I am still struggling with the idea that God will actually take this away from me. I don't believe that my prayers are answered in that way. I believe I am the only one who can do the work, who can change. I guess what I'm saying is that I don't know how having a higher power actually fits in to all of this. I'm lost and confused. I'm bloated and carb hungover. I'm not devoting 100% of myself to my recovery. My sponsor told me to do my food/body inventory a month ago and I'm not making the time to do it. What do I expect then? How do people work the steps in AA- how long should it take? I feel like if I'm not going to actually do the work, then none of this is going to happen. Just feeling really disappointed in myself. Honestly, if I was your sponsor, the answer to your question would be to work through the steps now....all of them. I would give you a week on each...you need to be able to move past this pain, and I truly do agree that this program helps us to shift our focus and feel so much better about ourselves. I see Nick is here....hello love :) And I think he would agree....the work he has done in the past few weeks is stuff he has wanted and needed to do for a long time, but didn't have the right sponsor and probably wasn't ready.....it takes what it takes....you should see him....I saw him a couple of days ago and he looks like a different man. His eyes are even a different colour....more green than hazel....I can see his soul.....he looks like a person who found peace. It's a beautiful thing to see. I'm not sure about this food inventory thing.....it sounds a little strange to me....not part of the steps. But if you like your sponsor and she is helping you, that's good. I hope she is available for you to talk to every day....that is so important. Here for you my friend....love you very much. :hug: ♥♥ |
