Heya!
FYI: there is a new free online addiction summit in town. Check it out here: https://healingaddictionsummit.com/ 🙂 (improved link!)
I am happy that I quit. Currently sorting stuff out off-line. Very thankful for those who replied to my former post – but I do not yet have the strength to actually confront that subject again. The good thing is though: even though I do not totally ‘agree’ with the dark voice of the demons inside…. I do feel SO MUCH lighter. This works the same as denial: once denial is ‘undenied’ (is that a word?) the healing can start. 🙂 Currently healing small parts, eating Iodine pills on which I guess I was low, waking up singing again and taking part in a ‘unclutter challenge’ for February: take 1 thing out on Feb 1, 2 things on Feb 2 etc. So cool! 🙂
I am happy that I quit, I am happy that I am on a path to at one point in life be able to call myself sober. (no not drinking, just not comfortable with the amount of socially acceptable but addictive behaviour I have.
Hope the summit brings you something. 🙂

Love the Feb. cleaning idea! I’ve gotten rid of a lot of stuff, but I still struggle with clothes!
Glad to hear you are doing well!

Dear Feeling,
Thank you very much for your fantastic blog. I have followed your blog for a long time (and many other blogs as well, like Anne’s and Wendy’s above). You people have helped so much in my own recovery of 2 years… I am truly incredibly grateful to all of you wonderful bloggers. I continue to love reading your blogs and they keep helping me and many others stay sober. Also, the recognition has helped me attain insights I would not have had otherwise, which again are fantastically helpful. But… a big confession: I am A Lurker… I am sorry for that. Partly it is being very untech-minded. I don’t think I will change, but I have long wanted to reach out to you in particular, Feeling, to thank you! With gratitude, Fine

Dear Fine,
Thank you for stopping by and commenting, it is really appreciated and specifically today :-).
I am happy to hear that this blog has helped you to stay sober. That is wonderful. 🙂 I am happy for you and happy for me too!
Please lurk your way through the posts, that is totally ok. If you care to know: you find yourself amongst many other lurkers. Or… people who read and do not comment. That is ok 🙂 You are very welcome in any shape or form.

Hi Fine,
Ik merk dat ik toch even moet nadenken over elkaar ontmoeten in het echte leven. Mijn anonimiteit beschermt niet alleen mij (wat prettig is) maar ook anderen. Dus ik moet dit even laten pruttelen zeg maar.
