I’ve had a rough year. Divorce, lost custody, went to hospital because of depression, lost apartment, and no job. I read this and thought, “Really, God? I feel so weak.” I’m looking forward to the new year because I have no place to go but up.

I was going to like and RT, but the last statement leaves a sour taste. It feels like I’m being pressured into those actions. Maybe I’ll meme without that last sentence about the 99%. Feels mean.
Day 1 of sobriety. One day at a time. And I’m able to be honest about it, which is what I feared that I wouldn’t be able to do. I am able to see that there is a harm to myself because I’m feeling depressed. Sober today. Honest today. Insight today. Peace today.

A new timer asks an old timer, “How long do I have to go to meetings for?”
Old timer replies, “you have to go until you want to go.”
(I’m on day 7 of a 90 and 90. I’ll let you know.)

I cried a lot this afternoon. I cried so loud that my dad heard and came up. He asked me if he could pray for me? He prayed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. I’ve never seen my dad cry. I’m so blessed.
I stopped at two although I was tempted for two hours.
I had a case of the F*CK its and said what the hell. I got so much stress in my life that I need to self-medicate. I’m a grown-ass man. I can do what ever I want. Trauma-bond with ex-wife, job interviews, debt.
Is it possible to be fully recovered from addiction? What does that look like? Total abstinence or a drink here and there but without the obsession?

#RecoveryPosse
During the first few months of divorce, I wanted to call up every person I knew who had been through this excruciating process and ask:
“How are you still standing? How did you get through this? How are you still alive?”

Some states in the US will automatically give primary custody to the non-disabled parent in a divorce. Even if the non-disabled person was abusive. Please pray for my LGBTQ+ and disabled friend fighting for more time with her 8yo.
Day 3 for me. It's not hard to check-in when I was sober yesterday. I'm terrified that I won't have the ability to be honest with my sponsor and program mates if I act out.

I’m a Christian. Just like you, and God invented medicine. That snake on a staff symbol for medicine. That’s in Exodus. If one person gets vaccinated because of this message, it will be worth it! In your QT, ask God for wisdom. Thanks!

They are based on change without acceptance of the ways things are. DBT and 12-step stand in contrast. Acceptance and change at the same time. Everyone is doing the best they can in any given moment and everyone can do better. The 3 you mention are just “do better.”
My daughter was recommended for a Social Emotional Learning program after school. I fear she’s having difficulties bc she hasn’t had any contact with me for 15 months. None. Zero. Zilch. A daughter needs her father in her life. 😢😭
Mental health check in: On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being the highest) my negative thoughts have been at an 8 or 9 since last week. Please pray for me. Thanks!
Sustaining grace.
458 days ago I was tossed to the side like garbage, trampled on, and set on fire. A horrendous discard phase of psychologically abusive marriage.
Every single day for 458 days, God woke me up, gave me strength to breathe and grieve, and has sustained me.
When I told my dad he couldn’t drive anymore, there was quiet acceptance. My mom knew it was time, and we both agreed that we will drive him around to wherever he needs to go.
In the end he said, “your support means more to me than my freedom.” 🥲
