And it's goodnight to all

going to bed clean and sober again :grin:.
Remember this is just my opinion but it seems to me that there are more women on here and as time has gone by more women than men are signing up for a new life. I know for a fact that itā€™s not bc there are more female addicts so it must be to do with life. You must be more in tune with yourselves than men, more self preserving and although you may not feel it some days, less frightened of the pain to reap your reward. You go through the pain of giving birth to give new life, a man would go ā€œf that shitā€ I also think a lot of men think its a sign of weakness to admit they are not in control where as we all know women are in control of everything us men do 99% of the time so we donā€™t have to think too much about anything apart from whatā€™s to eat and do I have any clean underwear.
Iā€™m proud of you as well bc my mother was weak she was no mother TBH when she was drunk it would be me holding her up so she could get to the shops to buy more beer or while she was at the pub all day I would be cooking her food. I could cook a complete roast dinner from scratch by the age of 12. Anyway I digress. Well done ladies for being here and thank you for making some children have a better life.
Sorry guys Iā€™ll give you a shout out next time :grin::v:

Another sleepless night. Midnight and I know I ainā€™t getting any shuteye. Up watching the news coverage. So depressing and disappointing. What a bizarre time we are living in right now in the US.

Itā€™s funny you say this about women. Tonight, my dr from detox had a live discussion about this. She said thereā€™s such a stigma on women in addiction. Most wonā€™t come foward due to fear of losing their kids or careers. However, the detox center has had more during covid. Women now have time to take off from work, without having to feel guilty. Or husbands are working from home and taking care of the family. Basically, covid has given them time out to take care of their addiction. Back in September, I was the only female in detox with 8 to 10 men. Now itā€™s about 50/50. Times are changing.

no more strange and depressing than spending all your life an addict, makes a change to give a shit about something else but yourself for once donā€™t you think. Let them worry about their problems and weā€™ll concentrate on ours.

did it again and got to bed sober, it never gets boring this sobriety game. hopefully getting the car fixed tomorrow and hopefully my partner Laura gets offered a new job Tommorow as well, she had an interview today and they said she is just the type of person they are looking for so fingers crossed. itā€™s was nice to do a TS zoom meeting tonight and see some faces although next time Iā€™m going to have to plan it better so I can share a bit more. Still loving life, still proud of you all and as ever Stay strong sober warriors.

Thatā€™s exciting news! Laura didnā€™t waste anytime. Sheā€™s a lot like me, I lost my job and had another 10 days later. Canā€™t keep a good woman down. :joy:

Well I nearly didnā€™t make it to bed sober today bc Laura got her new job and the car is nearly fixed, work was good and I had absolutely nothing to worry about so my whole persona relaxed through lack of stress and decided today would be a good day to have some beers, several, lots, go back for more, and smoke one of those lovely weed joints, 2, 3, 4 +++. It would have been just a one off for today, tomorrow, Iā€™ll stop again on Monday, what month are we in.
Good try tricky little ego but not on my watch.
Note to self ā€œKeep your guard up!!ā€
Have a good day all, stay strong.
