Good morning ya’ll!
Sorry I haven’t updated in a while. I’ve had a rough few months. I failed all my classes last term, fell into deep depression and tried drinking my worries away.. I also made some stupid decisions while I was intoxicated. I yelled at my best friend and made her cry, and I made out with a random guy at the bar while my boyfriend was waiting to pick my drunk ass up in the parking lot. My boyfriend even saw the guy who I kissed, wrapped around me.
I’m surprised my boyfriend isn’t my ex boyfriend right now.
He forgave me and my stupid choices. Happy 6 month anniversary baby, I kissed another boy…
I really hated myself the next day. I haven’t wanted to die so bad since I got raped a few years ago. I don’t understand why I even drink. I have had SO many horrible things happen when I’m drunk. Things that have changed my life forever. The first time I ever had an epiphany was almost two years ago when I smoked opium for the first time. I saw my life if I kept drinking. I was going to be alone.. old looking even when I wasn’t and bitter about life. I was going to be a lonely cougar who waits for 5 o’clock every day so I can start drinking my troubles away looking for some male companion for the night. This is not how I wanted to live my life. I stopped drinking 3 months cold turkey after this mind alternating experience. My sobriety broke on my birthday when I felt I finally deserved my birthday drink and I have never been able to stop ever since.
Today is the 13th day I’ve been sober and it’s the 9th day of my 30 day challenge of bikram yoga.
Bikram feels amazing. I love yoga so much, it’s already changed my life so tremendously in just the week I’ve done it. Most of the yoga teachers know me by name. I’m not very good, but I believe I have potential because they are always trying to help me get better. I have a hard time with the balancing postures like in standing head pose because of the multiple surgeries I’ve had on my feet/ankles. It’s nice to have people who believe in me. 🙂 Also I’m going to try out this power yoga studio for 30 days and see if I want to trade work for free classes or discounted packages. I am excited to start this new journey to a better life.
I also quit working in the bar. This was very hard for me to do because it also meant I couldn’t live in my own studio apartment and I have to live back home or move in with my boyfriend. Which wouldn’t be too bad if we lived together, we already spend every night together. Since we have been dating, we haven’t stayed apart longer then 24 hours. I do love him, I’m not sure why I do such hurtful things when I’m drunk. I just don’t think… I want to cry when I think about how much I hurt him. So I figured in order to stop drinking again, I need to think about him and my best friend. I will lose them both if I continue to indulge in the evil.. Myself and alcohol do not mix.
Good bye bartender, hello nanny!
I got a new job as a nanny for the spring term. I watch a 2 and a half year old boy. He’s very cute and sweet. Very little temper tantrums. He’s full of energy and life! We are currently working on potty training. I made a potty training chart and bought mr. potato head stickers. For every 5th time he uses the potty, he gets to choose a toy. Lets see how well this works. My next project is to print off some flash cards and work with words, colors and shapes. His parents are super nice as well. I also started taking another early childhood education class where I will be working in a preschool. I will be working in the preschool with the little boys older sister. I hope I do well and they give me a job there. 🙂 I would be pretty stoked about that!! Since I will be in school for such a long time for psychology, I want to work in preschools to help me through school.
I just want to help make this world a better place. 🙂
Anyways, I have to go. I will do my best to update this more.
Namaste
