27 days sober:
Yesterday my goal was to be patient...and I failed. I guess that is better than slipping up and starting over with recovery, but I was not very patient with my girlfriend. She hurt my feelings when she responded to something I said, and I let that stew in my mind for awhile until I had blown it all out of proportion. When that happened, I started going back to all of the things she has done that I wasn't okay with and...basically I was fighting very unfairly. Today I am going to do my best to make up for yesterday...we'll see how it goes!
By the way, the first dare in the 40 day Love Dare is to be patient with your spouse/significant other and to not say anything negative. Yeah, didn't do so hot on that yesterday, but it's a good thing it's a new day! Today's dare is to not say anything negative as well as to do one unexpected gesture that demonstrates kindness.
Kindness is made up of:
-initiative
-gentleness
-helpfulness
-willingness
This is my goal today and this is my check-in. I commit to another 24 hours of sobriety!
-Grateful and Hopeful
