Hello everyone.
Just reflecting on my day before I settle down to read and hopefully get some sleep.
I’ve had a day off work today (first in over three weeks) because I felt like my mind and body needed it. Was hoping for a lie in but once I woke up, I couldn’t stay in bed, head like a washing machine and I had to get up.
I was just thinking that I haven’t really achieved anything today, then upon reflection I have:
Tidied my room
Done 2 loads of washing
Changed my bedsheets
Sorted through my clothes, thrown 3 bin bags full away as they’re too scruffy, old or worn out
Filled another bag with clothes that don’t fit me for the charity shop
Been to visit a friend and my brother for a while
Took some rubbish to the tip for my mother
Went to an A.A. meeting nearby
Sorted my uniform for work tomorrow
Said my prayers and lit a candle for my children and ex partner
Given my step 4 some thought but not actually done anything about it yet
Got ready for bed and written this post
So actually, I guess I’ve done a reasonable amount for the day really. It’s just easy to beat myself up over nothing.
I must try not to guess what my children and my ex partner are doing, as I cannot possibly know what they’re thinking and I’m putting it in the hands of my higher power, because my thinking will always tell me that she’s in a new relationship, the children have another man in their life and everyone is moving on without me.
Even if that’s the case, what can I do about it? Nothing. So I’m trying not to hurt myself over things I cannot control, difficult as that might be.
On the positive side, I looked at myself in the mirror today and realised that I’m beginning to love the person I see. I’m by no means perfect but I’m making huge progress and I can feel it in my heart.
On that note, I wish everyone peace, love and positivity for now, wherever you are physically and emotionally.
Grateful to be sober and very aware of my shortcomings tonight

So he was doing music today, and I did house stuff and had an awesomely peaceful day.
Just spent some time out front with my lovely neighbours who have become very good friends.
Wendy's for dinner, maybe a nice scary movie and cuddles and candlelight....
Hope you have a great night love.
