Good morning all, it's 6:50am here in Mississauga. Another 24 for me please and thanks.
I had a rough evening yesterday. My moods have become increasingly more steady nearing the 6 month mark. Yesterday I don't know what was wrong with me. I came home from work and picking up my son with so much pent up frustration and sadness that I eventually couldn't hold it in.
It was like a full blown meltdown, panic attack, I'm not sure what to call it. I didn't lash out at anyone or yell or be mean, but I was in a complete state and my wife was angry that I was exposing our son to it.
I feel a guilt that reminds me of what it was like the morning after a drinking binge. I feel like an awful mother. I feel like an awful wife. I know these things aren't true, but I feel completely sucked back into old emotions and thoughts.

Shortstop, hopefully only a blip of a crappy day. Push the negative thoughts out and congrats on nearing 6 months.
Happy Bday Delilah.
Wisc, glad you had a better day. 35 yo twins - proud dad!

My secretaries decorated my office the other day since I’ve been at school sites doing trainings all week, and that looked amazing. My kids and husband gave me a new wallet, and a phone case wallet, which was what I really need, they also got me a weighted blanket and something bubble bath. I’m using the blanket now, and really like it.
We went to dinner at a little Italian restaurant with my MiL and BIL and they gave me a beautiful long jacket. We then went to my daughter’s holiday show, she had an additional solo tonight because she was an understudy for Santa Baby, and she sounded incredible!
I feel so grateful to be sober, to be surrounded by family and friends, to have this amazing community, and to be able to enjoy and remember all of the amazing things life brings.
Hope everyone is having a great day!

Today I am happy. My twin's birthday are today. They are 35. I am proud of them. I am grateful to have made amends to both of them using the AA 9th step. When they were born I was in the navy and several years sober. It's great to be included in their lives. I don't take it for granted.
I first started NA and AA in 1980. Married twice and children all during sober times.
Ate better yesterday, a lot of fruits and berries. Started today healthy.
Happy to be awake, sane, sober, this Friday morning.

xxx I have panic attacks....and they are bad. Big-time bad. They make me feel terrible about myself....they are coming less often now as I acclimate here, but for a while, boy oh boy.
Not being supported when you are in the middle of a panic attack is super-hard. Criticism is the opposite of what you need. A more gentle approach might have helped all 3 of you get through that more easily.
But I get it.....it's hard to know how to help when someone is having a panic attack, and well, I know what that feels like.
sIt isn't your fault, not at all. You need a huge hug and a calm day.
And more love.
s ❤️

Omg shortstop-my post today could have been yours. I feel the exact same way. I think for me it’s a combination of stress from work, stress at home, stress thinking of how stressful the holidays are going to be. I melted down too because my kids wouldn’t behave last night. Everything was a chore to them. I had to walk away because I felt so empty I just couldn’t deal with it but husband treated me the same after a binge as well.
Plus I had an awful sleep. So I’m host 100 people for lunch today then going home for a sleep!! Actually will probably stop at Costco first for a mattress topper. My back is killing me and i just bought this mattress last February.
congratulations to everyone celebrating milestones today.

I am so sorry that happened dear Trees. s
I hope today is so much better love.
Have you been turning the mattress? Or just rotating it if you can't turn it over....it can really help as well as the mattress topper. s xx

Happy birthday Delilah! Glad you had a day that matched you in awesomeness xx happy birthday to your twins Wicsober xx congrats on your new gaff NGB (my dad always called houses gaffs - makes me nostalgic, sigh) and I hope today is a better day Trees and Shortstop. Sending you and everyone loads of love.
I got irrationally angry yesterday when someone who doesn't like me deliberately speeded up to drive through an enormous puddle and splash me and my youngest kids. Not a little splash. We were drenched. Anyway, good to see I still have a way to go on the journey towards enlightenment. I. Was. Furious. Proper rage and fury. Anyway, I stayed with the feelings, welcomed them, listened to them, respected them and then bid them farewell. No point getting upset about it....all the anger and resentment will only hurt me.... But karma, if you're reading this and have a spare moment, there's someone I'd love you to visit
24 more for me please xxx
