~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hey hi hello! Welcome to the second iteration of...

~ The Toolshed ~

I decided to make a new thread, as the first one had errors and phantom pages, and was getting quite long! You can still find all the amazing pics, inspiring quotes, and uplifting messages of the first Toolshed here.

What is the Toolshed? Ain't a place to hang your hammer! Hehe this is a space where we can share the things that have helped us in our recovery. Tools, coping skills, inspiring ideas, and messages of hope and growth, is what this space is all about!!

You can stay connected and up to date on this space by favouriting, or by subscribing to the thread - head to the top of the page, and find the three dots to the right of the thread title (next to the star), click, and from the drop down menu you can 'favourite' or 'subscribe' - and clicking the star itself will also favourite the thread for you.

Favourite threads are then always available in your favourites list which should appear on the right hand side of most forums pages - or you can go to your profile and scroll down to the 'Favourites' section under your recent posts.

If you subscribe, it means that you will get a notification every time someone posts something new in the thread. So up to you if you simply want it to be always accessible, or if you want all the updates, or both!

I invite anyone who wishes to contribute to do so! It doesn't have to be pictures, it can be discussion, questions, videos, whatever you like! So without further ado, here's my latest batch!

@Chasingsunsets How are you going lately? Been through the mill myself, still struggling but mainly with containment issues of my triggers and trauma memories.

@Jynx @REDLINEZ750 @MissGremlin @Meowmy @Blackcloud @heartathome @ENKELI

In just over 5 hours my lovely wife should be here. We are planning to go for a beach walk if i have enough energy for that. Lots to discuss and sort out anyhow so even if we stay home lots of ground still needs to be covered.

We are both very hopeful our separation will not be that very much longer. My wife has been working hard on her issues and so have i. Yet we both agree we need to do this right and make sure we do not slip back in those old destructive patterns. Where my wife hides her true feelings because she wants to keep the peace, and i do the same. It was very painful for both us us to see how we both had good intent but how it was destructive to our relationship and not up building.
