Sitting here, still cant believe coming up on 2 months and feeling all kinds of things. Just had one of those days where I felt really unseen, like my efforts don't even register. I’ve been putting in SO much work, showing up for myself, doing the hard things, and then someone says something totally dismissive and it just…deflates you, you know? Like, it’s not even about the booze, it's about feeling like I’m still the old me in their eyes sometimes. It's frustrating as hell. I know I shouldn't let it get to me so much, and I usually don't. But today, it just hit different. Like, can you just acknowledge the freaking effort here! It's not easy, and sometimes I just need that little bit of recognition from the outside world. Argh. Anyway, deep breaths. This too shall pass, right.
