I’m going back to work today after 2 weeks off. I feel ok about it. Except I couldn’t sleep last night. I’m going to have some coffee for the first time in nearly a week.

Checking in day 14, looking forward to all the super bowl eating this afternoon!! I never drank during the super bowl because I was always to into the food lol so no temptations to worry about today! Was looking at my stats and I’ve only had one slip in the past 82 days so I’m proud of that and it definitely feels good to be back on track.

131.59 days sober
Screwed up my ED at 30 days. Felt it coming, but I don’t know. I want to say I didn’t care, but that’s not true. Resetting that counter sucks and I’m feeling like it negates how hard I worked and the astounding success of 30 days. I don’t know when the last time I did that was. I start training for my spartan tomorrow. I hope that keeps me focused. I don’t know what triggered me and set me off. I’m very defeated, disappointed, and angry with myself. I was so proud. But I refuse to allow this slip to take away from my success. It just shows me that I CAN do it.
I hung out with the stbx husband yesterday (that was not the trigger). We watched a movie and switched some bills from joint to individual. But man, I was so in love I couldn’t see how young he is 
I’m finally completely accepting of this divorce. I think some work and reading I’m doing is really helping.

Almost got a photo of a nice Vanagon yesterday. They drove away before I could get a shot 
Day 13.
Up early and enjoyed a little of the movie Gremlins before showering. Walked for coffee, getting ready to walk back. About 4 miles total. Riding with buddies at 10 this morning. Cold, but it should be a blast. Trying to fight with the never again part of sobriety. I know later today the ID voice will be saying “everyone else is drinking for the Super Bowl…you should too to not miss out.” It will come strongest around 4-6 PM today. That is why I am grilling hamburgers tonight at that time. Something to keep me occupied to get through the urge. Still not sure how to train my brain that forever is okay. Especially with everything I can accomplish sober. Anywho…just rambling now…thanks for listening.

Hi Beth @Girlinterrupted
I share these very same emotions after caving in a couple of days ago… Really pissed off how little self control I have…
We are fragile human beings - I guess that’s the conclusion.
Peace to you.

Day 1. Reset.
I am clearly not doing well. I dont know what happened… I was doing really well and now I am not. It’s a lot of emotional garbage. I listened to an AA tape today on emotional sobriety. I have a lot to work on. My parents back in the states aren’t well and I have offered a 100 times to move back. Was supposed to go back this summer to see them but they asked me to cancel. I am having a hard time processing the mental noise of guilt of not helping aging parents with the noise of…they really don’t want me there… maybe it’s because of how screwed up I was for so long.
So. I went numb last night. Again. Why??? The thing I want most is to be sober. To be a sober mom. A sober person. Why do I f* it up and relapse? Going numb for a few hours only makes the hours after even worse.
I need more meetings. We only have 1 meeting a week in the area I live. I need more AA meetings. I’m tired. I wont give up because after 15+ years drinking I WANT to be sober. But OMG is it hard.
Gotta sleep. Monday comes soon. At least happy to go back to work so a little less time to dwell.

@anon65470292 thanks Chris… I had made an account with them before but didnt really understand how it all worked. Guess I gotta figure it out. I can not keep going on like this. Not for me, not for my kids.

I’m so sorry to hear that Kelly. It is heartbreaking. And I can hear your worry about your parents, and your shame in feeling they may be holding you at a distance. That is so hard 
You are worthy of life, and love, and respect, from yourself and others. You are a good person, a worthy person. You are a good mother (this coming from a person whose parents had their own challenges but who has grown to understand and love them even more than when I was young). No one can take these things away from you, and no slip on the sobriety journey can ever make you unworthy of trying again.
Keep searching for options. Explore online options too (I believe Women for Sobriety has some; there are others too). We are here with you too. You’re like a tree stretching into the sun. Keep growing, keep pushing, keep searching; you will get there

Thanks so much @Matt … I am trying… the parent (mine) card is hard… I am an only child… I screwed up a lot but for the past 5 years or so I have had a good relationship with my folks. Being told to stay put is a blow. Esp since my own kids want to be around their grandparents. I live and breathe AA at this point. I just need more actual interaction. I am trying. I need to find a sponsor. I need to let go of a lot of things. And all that is hard. And all that makes me want to drink. A catch 22. But I can’t. I am so grateful my kids didnt see me last night. There is no shame.worse than them seeing a drunk mom.

Go Chris! That’s awesome! Glad to hear it brother. I’m happy you’re taking it one day at a time and trying new adventures sober.
I recently started having breakfasts with some of the guys from my recovery group, on weekends, and I love it. I feel an understanding and connection with them that I don’t feel with others, and it feels good. (No disrespect to others, obviously! But these guys have been through the same struggles as me.)
Hoping it goes well for you. Check in and let us know!
