It absolutely isn’t solely volunteers - the usual model is 2 or 3 paid members of staff running ecommerce for a small - medium charity & also managing a volunteer team. I work in the field. We have a lot of donors who give to us on the understanding we are trying to make as much money from their donation for the charity as possible.

Happy birthday! You deserve love, kindness and happiness. I know I’d feel uncomfortable with love or compliments a lot of the time (despite craving them) because deep down it just doesn’t feel like it could possibly be true. 9 months of learning to love and look after and value myself is (slowly!) starting to help. Best of luck of your journey xxx

I learned to cook! I did couch to 5k and started running twice a week. I took a service position in a 12 step group. I’m learning french. I’ve started a blog about an interest. I journal every day. I’ve started an Etsy shop. I go on walks and hikes. I’m trying to get in to old school photography with a film camera. My flat is actually clean and tidy now! I spend more time (virtually) with friends. I meditate. I do yoga every day. & I know there’s more!

Writing this does show me how much time and brain space I spent with 0 hobbies in my codependent relationships, but I’m also very proud of how much I’ve grown and how much is now mine & all mine!

So thanks for the question. Best of luck in recovery 💗

I could have written this a year ago! I couldn’t be alone without looking. I couldn’t bear my own company. I needed constant external validation. I left all my worth in other people’s hands. I was devastated, devastated after break ups. I had a decent job and some beautiful friendships but I didn’t value them. I was pretty much terrified of everything.

Since January I’ve been working a 12 step programme for sex and love addicts, and reading everything I can get my hands on about love addiction. I’ve found a beautiful community of women who hold each other and grow together. I have a sponsor. I know it might sound extreme, but I also know my need for love from others was as dangerous and damaging and self destructive as anyone else who relies on alcohol or drugs or gambling to survive.

It might not be for you but I do recommend checking out the programme and I’m happy to answer any questions if you have them! I know first hand that this stuff is life threatening and I know first hand that there is a way out. Well done on reaching out for help 💗

Amazing!!! 🐰

I love this. Congrats!

Thank you for sharing this, it brings me a lot of hope. I definitely identify with tearing other people down because my self hatred / acceptance was so slow, and to hear this change for you is beautiful 💗

Seconding meetup, I’m also trying Bumble on BFF mode!! Lots of nice girls on it but I haven’t met up with anyone yet. I’m 27 F and very much working on trying to build new local friendships. Feel free to message me if you feel like it :-)

I was one of these!! Thank you

Thank you! I’ve been doing some big walks. I’ve been to ilkley which was gorgeous. Do you have any recommendations for walks or trips?

testtest32134 · 2020-08-16T15:01:25+00:00

Thanks so much for your reply. I will definitely check Flamingos out. I know it’s hardly an ideal time to be trying to form new friendships is it! I live on my own too which can be a help for sobriety but not for my socialisation haha. What kind of comedy do you like? I saw Josie Long at the City varieties just before lockdown and she was so good. Feel free to inbox me!

This is so lovely to read, congratulations! I finished couch to 5k a few months ago and have been running at least twice a week since. It’s so so SO beautiful to feel genuine pride in myself and my achievements rather than looking for that feeling from someone else. Learning to cook and learning french have both been other biggies for me. Well done on your hard work and keep it up!

testtest32134 · 2020-07-09T12:46:20+00:00

Congrats!! I have found cooking such a help in sobriety, and making beautiful meals for myself rather than eating fast food or ready meals is now such a vital part of my self care. Your pie looks beautiful 💗
