Went to see my therapist today. Loads of stuff surfaced, dark stuff, good stuff, impressive stuff. That’s the good thing about quitting: stuff gets unveiled. And no, I can’t say I am suddenly ready or jumping of joy to do all of that. I guess I am, at first, never willing or ready to change in the parts where it matters. But I feel I’ve got no choice, can’t stay where I am because my vision of the world does not help me to live in it well. And afterwards it is ok.
And now I am tired and have very little to say. Apart from a story on the cat. She is extra cute today. She laid herself down on the laundry I was trying to fold because laying out an old sweater or old towel and petting that is my way of telling her I made a new bed for her. So she kept on laying down. π And I had to move to another corner of the table with another towel and then she would come to lay down on that. Cute!!!!
I am happy that I quit. Happy in a very tired way, today.
Have a good evening, night, morning, day where ever you are in the world. π
Cats; where would we be without them! π

Getting sober & peeling all the layers back of the real us is exhausting and brutal work.
Rest up, you deserve itπ

Congratulations on your bravery. It’s not easy to face some of those darker things. I love that your cat is so sensitive to your feelings and giving you lots of love and cuteness. Hugs from here.

Hmmmm, the bravery, the bravery, it is not here today, tired, tired, tired and trying to find whatever at the bottom of a bag of chips. π¦
I’ll read your message to the cat to remind her because she finished of the night by running over my pillow playing ‘do-you-still-love-me-if-I-wake-you-up-every-5-minutes’. Grrrrrr…..
Hugs are good :-). Hugs!

You may not feel brave today, but if you’re not drinking to hide from your feelings? You’re being brave. So…bravo. β€

No, but I would like to, and it worries me. Guess I’ll need to write to see if I can find some other answers.

Glad you are still posting and sober. I am just getting back into the online world of sobriety after nearly a week off. I have read some of your other posts about needing less online time. Maybe pick a day a week to just relax and let yourself just be. Pick a non-stressful day of course. For me that would probably be a Tuesday or Wednesday. But I agree that spending so much time online can be really draining. I just posted about it on my blog today. =) Have a happy sober weekend and good luck with therapy!

Thanks :-). It is a strange decision. I need the writing to get my head clear but I could do with less online time. I guess I could do with less commenting. But then it is a bit strange not to comment because most writers can recognise in their stats that I have read the post because of the country I come from. Choices, choices :-).
