Wow Amanda! … Are ALL of those things going on simultaneously for you in this one weekend ahead?!… Or are these all the things that will be coming up throughout the Summer months?!

Either way, it all sounds like so much fun. I love family moments, bonding, & making memories! Definitely plenty there for you to look forward to & to cherish. And even more wonderful for you that you get to spend Fathers Day with your dad this year. As it sounds like he’s been through a lot. So enjoy it All!! 

Thank you for sharing with us & keep us posted on all of these events & how everything goes! 

@stormieandpaws

That’s good for you that despite a few ups & downs in the week that it was mostly OK for you…~ 

And hopefully you will be able to have moments this weekend to enjoy such as calling your Father for Fathers Day as well as being able to get to Church. I know how going to church & hearing the “Word” can be so helpful & beneficial for our Spiritual health & wellbeing. Which can certainly improve other areas in our lives. 

As far as Summer, it’s definitely understandable that for those who have certain health conditions that it may be harder & more difficult to tolerate the summer heat. Hopefully this season won’t be too terrible for you. And it’s nice that you are able to find moments you enjoy by getting out in the evenings as well as enjoying the Thunderstorms. I imagine that both can bring a reduction in the heat! And also I know for some people, they find thunderstorms to be soothing. And may even get better sleep! 

Oh wow, (although I’m personally not into hiking because I’m not much for “wooded” areas), however, the River, camping under the stars, the fishing over the campfire, all of that sounds really nice, And rather fun!  Those things I wouldn’t mind doing. (Maybe I’d even throw in a few scary stories around that campfire & add some S’mores)!! 😃….

It’s Definitely a time to find peace when within nature. Sometimes we don’t have to go “too” far to find that. Perhaps you could create those moments in smaller & more creative ways?… (Simple moments at night in your backyard, or on your front or back porch looking at the stars, lighting a candle while listening to the different sounds, a small picnic outside, or sitting outdoors with some soft music or nature sounds)…etc… Sometimes we may have to find smaller ways to connect with the things we enjoy Especially if we are unable to do the bigger things for whatever the reasons.... It’s really great that you have the assistance that you need and that it’s available to you for help... Maybe they could even help you with some “smaller enjoyable” things if or when the time & weather permits?! 

That’s also great that you are getting better at speaking up for yourself & voicing your needs & concerns. It’s definitely important to advocate for ourselves!... Great job to you there and keep up the great work you are doing! 👍🏼

Thank you for checking in to share with us. And please continue to keep us updated on how things are going for you.

Cycling! 🚴 ~ What a pleasure to have you back with us for a 2nd consecutive week~  

So sorry to hear that you’ve been dealing with chronic pain & flare-ups.. I know personally how that can affect our overall wellbeing, (mentally, physically and emotionally)... “Especially” when we are already living a very active lifestyle & have to make adjustments in what we’ve been doing. While also trying to manage & navigate the pain & other things in our lives. It can definitely feel like quite a burden. Not sure if you are going to a pain management facility, regular pcp, or if you’ve done any physical therapy? But Hopefully you are able to manage & find a pain regimen that works better for you. (I’ve found proper rest & time has helped, “despite” not wanting to take the time or those breaks when I needed them)! But sadly patience has never been a virtue for me when I wanted to workout & couldn’t. So I feel for you! 

It sounds like you have an amazing weekend planned. Hopefully by time you see this, that you were able to enjoy that Veterans picnic?! And that the weather held up for it… And how nice that you will get to spend time with your dad as well as enjoying some time on the lake. The kayaking sounds like a really great time! Also, (that 74 degrees is perfect to me)! 74-84 degrees for me is a great range. I’d love to see that year round.. Anything lower isn’t really summer. But anything higher gets a little tricky unless you’re on water or in it! Lol.. but I’m like you & love the Sun & Heat myself. (& the lake, & the beach)! 🏝️ So enjoy them! 

Ha.. I always thought we both lived some kind of a parallel life. As we enjoy & dislike a lot of similar things. So I totally get what you say about “depending on the amount of ppl” will make the decision for you as to where you’ll enjoy being!… Not only that, like you, reading can go either way as well! I have a book I requested TWO Christmases ago, & STILL haven’t gotten past the first few chapters, (let alone complete it), because I do the same things as you., lol… 

Thanks so much again Cycling for checking in to share with us this week! It was a pleasure to read through & to hear how you’ve been doing & what’s going on your life. And I hope that you feel up to doing more things you enjoy doing again soon~ Please don’t be a stranger. And continue to let us know how you’re doing.

Hi there~ 

Im Ocean, The leader of the “Healthy Living community” which you are currently posting in. Welcome to 7Cups~ 

It sounds like you have a lot going on personally both in your marriage as well as in admitting that you have an addiction. Both of those are definitely major things in life that can affect our overall health & wellbeing in many ways. And It’s great that you’ve taken a huge step in coming here to 7Cups & reaching out for support. 

We have an amazing support system here at 7Cups through our various communities that can help you along the way going forward. 

I feel the need to guide you to some of our other Sub-communities here that can possibly help assist you better with your current situations… 

We have our communities in the following: 

ADDICTION SUPPORT

ADDICTION & ALCOHOL SUPPORT 

RELATIONSHIP SUPPORT 

DEPRESSION SUPPORT 

And we also have our very many wonderful listeners here that can chat with you in a personal 1-1 chat if you feel that might work better for you?! … As well as our Group Support Chats where you can chat in a safe group setting with others who may be experiencing what you are going through as well. And all of these options & guidance are free at your fingertips. 

(And we also have Therapists here at 7cups, although that is separate & costs a fee to chat with). 

So perhaps taking a look around our 7cups community & focusing on the communities & options above could help in better guiding you towards the “specific support” that you may need during this time?! 

We are here to support you however we can at Cups. And wish you all the best in your addiction recovery & marriage.~

@purpleTree4652

Hey there Tree~ 

Sorry to hear that you are having such a difficult time with your movers. And haven’t received all your boxes yet. Definitely sounds like a challenge. And the fact that they aren’t supposed to arrive until the 30th certainly doesn’t make things better! As That surely seems a long time to have to wait for your items. 

Have you spoken to any managers or whoever is in charge? (Although I’m not sure if that will get you anywhere or any further along in your plight)…. 

Hopefully you will get them by the date that you were quoted. But it’s definitely worth thinking about leaving a review on this company as you’ve stated here, as it definitely might help others in not having to go through the hassles that you are currently having with them. They most definitely sound irresponsible and unprofessional. 

Hopefully the month going forward moves along better for you where that is concerned. And that other things at your sisters house are continuing to go well for you & Chloe?.. 

Please continue to keep us updated on everything. And thank you for sharing with us this week.
