Had a tough day
 
Signed some contracts to put the house up for sale. Very stressful.
Told my ex , she said I was a lot of bad things and told me I wasn’t being fair to our daughter.
I struggled all day yesterday, I could picture myself in my head running around frantically but trapped looking for a way out. My beast kept trying to ply me with drink but I know the score. Did a lot of urge surfing and playing the tape forward.
I handed the signed contracts in and went home after a long day.
There wasn’t any fireworks when I got in. She was tired to. Must be taking it’s toll on her too.

This is very difficult but I’m getting through it.
Had a very deep sleep last night and feeling a lot better today.
I’ll try to stay on top of my anxiety.

Happy Friday everyone

Mixed feelings today.
At least my mum is looking better today.
Getting an early night, going to a kids party in the woods tomorrow should be fun.

I don't like tough days, who does?, but I find I experience more growth from tough days than when things are going along smoothly.

I especially didn't like my rock bottom, but it actually turned out to be a thing of beauty. It was a starting point to grow and heal. Rock bottom taught me lessons that the mountaintop never would be able to.

Whenever I an going through a tough day, I try to remember to appreciate the growth opportunities that tough days provide. This too shall pass and I will come out better and stronger!

I'm sorry you're going through this hard time, Snowy. I'm glad you're posting about it though.

I find these type of choices extremely difficult.

I am thinking of you.

These things are sent to test us.
I just fear that there is only so much a human being can take before something starts to fail.
I suppose the steps into the unknown are scary but once they are made a load is taken off. Just got to keep making them so I don’t get swamped with too much to do.

I’m doing it regardless of the ball and chain attached to my ankle.

No way could I do this with a drink in hand.
I’ve come a long way and almost past the point of no return.

I’ll try to have fun today and try not to get trapped in my own head.
:thanks

Oh man do I know this one!

Life doesn't happen in my head. My head tries to run the show to justify it's existence. Life happens in my heart.
