Day 194…I have had great days and some not so great but I’m trucking along this road in sobriety super determined to stay sober! It hasn’t happened yet, where I’ve felt an urge or had the thought to drink until last night. The weirdest timing and I was just watching a cooking show. I had the thought I’d go get my favorite (vodka) and just get wasted! BUT I got up and talked myself through the WHY not to. And within a few minutes I was sitting here laughing at myself for having such a foolish thought to drink. Life is good, no hangovers, closer connections with my family, my husband and it makes me want to vomit when I think of how shitty I’d feel if I drank, mentally and physically. I reminded myself of how sad and hurt my family would be if I drank, they’ve been my biggest fans throughout this 
Geez it’s a weird time in sobriety. A lot of different things going on, feelings, thoughts, I’m really emotional now even though the first 4 months I couldn’t shed a tear for anything! I’ve been absent on this forum for longer than I should’ve been, here is where I should be too on a daily. Ohhh and I’ve been 108 days cigarette free! Happy Saturday all

Its so strange how random the drink cravings are! I can go out with friends, have a club soda to their wine and feel fantastic about it. But an 8pm on Tuesday, in my sweats, alone with the dog, doing absolutely nothing craving can drive me so batty that I need to just go to bed and sleep so I can make it shut the f#$k up. Club soda cheers to all the times you’ve chosen your sobriety! Thanks for sharing and keep on keepin on

Checking in.
Day: 83.
Went grocery/school shopping this morning. Little man is officially ready for school.
I got through the nights with him gone with no cravings or triggers. I simply made nice meals, got my jammies on, and watched T.V or read.
I have made it past some pretty substantial hurdles this summer and have had no desire to drink over them.
I needed a change so I changed around my living room this morning. Also purchased a used coffee and end table and lamp from a friend who is moving the other day.
Tonight is chicken wings and salad (Ethan’s favorite), then board games and watching a movie together (our usual Friday night but he was not here last night).
I am so grateful to be sober and able to enjoy these moments together.
Sending hugs and strength to those who need it today.

Day 423.
Fully back into routine after my break, work good, AA even better, nice to be back on a level of serenity and calm head. Chaired one AA meeting, shared and listened in the other. Spent some time with my sponsor. In all 3 we discussed how and why my holiday and my head fell apart as badly as it did. Straying off program is a serious no no for me and will not happen again. I also need to remember to keep it in the day, and remember to practice it to the best of my ability no matter where in the world I am.
Daughter back with me through till tomorrow evening after being back at her mums for a few days. Missed her little face so much even though I’ve just come off having her for 10 days straight. Seems the more I have her, the more I miss her. So it’s treats and film night in my bed watching Coraline. It’s a bit creepy 
have a fantastic weekend folks. Stay safe!
