~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

~ 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!

Hello my sweet @Bunniekins, it's warm where I am today 27⁰ to be exact at the moment. A little too sunny and warm for my liking, Bergen is looking good right about now 😂. Hope you've been having a lovely day. Love you beautiful ❤️.

My teeth?? I’ve had false teeth for decade @Cuddlebear

Having some issues with my lungs again and have last few weeks. Breathing is lot easier today and cough is a ‘clean, clear cough’. Cough yesterday was horrible and gross, breathing as laboured yesterday.

fairly high level of pain on left hand side lower lumber area. Pain was tolerable level prior to getting rubbish into the bin and putting the bin out. Spiked due to having to bend over a few times. Benefit from infusion I had at start of December has worn off. My shoulders and back are stiff and sore until approx mid morning each day, worse on days it rains.

Unfaithful To Me

Astonished, I looked—
agonising to behold:

the truth of old lies
enthroned within me,

drinking my lifeblood,
feasting on what was good,

trampling tender things
beneath their thousand feet,

while something true in me
grew pale,
forgotten,
near perishing.

I saw their hidden faces.
I heard their borrowed names.

What wore my voice
was never truly mine.

The spell broke open.

And all that fed upon me
felt the shaking first—

their thrones cracking,
their mouths filled with dust,

as something long buried
rose breathing beneath ruin.

Now I run toward my good life
like a man escaped from drowning,

while false kings fall behind me,
dragged down
crying for what they cannot keep.
