27 days sober yay. I'm holding onto my ex and allowing him to be abusive. He says he wants to be friends so I let him come hangout with me only to suffer four hours of him ranting and belittling me. It's really made my mental health unsettled. I need to cut the emotional ties to him. I'm currently trying really hard to stop contact.

@rav3n doing amazing, 70 days sober, I flicked the toxic relationship and I've been casually dating with healthy boundaries. I had an amazing Christmas with my brother. As much as my parents ditched us like they do every year I felt blessed with the family and friends I was surrounded by. Thanks for checking on me.
