I hope your bloodwork comes back smiling, too.

Here’s my boring (for everyone else lol) news.
Saw my counsellor yesterday. She has really helped me, and think I must have been ready to begin the process. I’ve never really had a therapist who I thought understood me, but this one seems too.
She told me I have not lost my innocence 😇 WOW UMM, and that I’ve made real progress in the short time we’ve been seeing each other. Helping me with boundaries, and caring about myself. And somehow, it all makes sense.
We are receiving torrential rain in Sydney at the moment. It is really beautiful. 💦 🍃

Daughter came home from school quite upset. One of her classmates took their life last night. They weren’t close but had a class together last year and this year. They sat behind daughter this year. She’s pretty shaken up. Especially that kids who bullied the student were making fun of their death. It’s awful. I don’t understand how people can be so mean and hurtful to others.
Keeping daughter close tonight. And definitely staying sober.
Hugs to everyone. This world can be cold, but it’s good to know we have each other here.

As long as she tries every trick in the book for a treat, runs down to the water to look for rocks to carry or bends over backwards to try to get to the ducks, she is enjoying life.
I am smiling through tears now.

I am so sorry, clearlyheaded. How incredibly sad. A child. 😔
I don’t know how people can be so cruel either CH. I do know that the bully is weak, and hopefully, one day, will meet their maker.
It is really good you are sober to be there for your daughter. 💓 😞

Thinking of everyone going through a hard time right now but doing it sober.
CH, your empathy and compassion for your daughter is amazing.
Lixie, I'm sorry for your Molly.
FF, you're lucky you made it alive through a seizure. You can get better, if you reach out to sober people. It's not a game but life and death. I finally got serious about sobriety after my friend died in his sleep. My friend wanted to live; he had travel plans. Alcohol and drugs took him from us.

Congrats DD on 300!
CH - That is terrible tragic news about your daughter’s classmate. Hope your daughter is doing ok. I can’t imagine how hard it must to be for her and my gosh, I can’t imagine the pain her classmate’s family is dealing with.
Laza - I am also getting full bloodwork up in early May and it also the first time I’ve had complete bloodwork done in ages. I’m terrified. Here’s hoping (1) we both still have livers, and (2) they’re fully functional and healthy!
Sal great work getting back on the sober path this month. You are carrying great momentum into next month. Keep up the great work.
Day 48 for me. I am proud of myself for defeating the cravings this past month. They got really really intense at times. I dug into my toolbox though and am about to log my first full sober month in quite some time. The end of the month feels much easier than the beginning of the month so for everyone struggling right now, stick with it. Things do seem to get easier and I am grateful for that.
Have a great rest of your day all! I am committed to 24 more sober hours with you all. I won’t be picking up that first drink tonight. ODAAT.
We will have to come up with a new, fun group name for May

Thank you everyone. Daughter seemed to be a bit better after sitting with her and letting her talk. She didn’t seem to have trouble going to sleep tonight.
Hoping for a decent sleep myself. See you tomorrow. ❤️
