Day 360 :coffee:
Cancelled my Taiko drum lesson for tonight, don’t trust my back enough yet. But there is definitely progression! Calm day today, having the day off.
Visiting a friend and going to do some groceries.
Laundry has to be done too. Just a normal day doing normal stuff and doing all that sober.
Day by day alcohol is getting less involved in my life. I’ve got space in my head again! Space for other things then the alcohol voice telling me I have to buy wine.
My husband still has mixed feelings about me quitting. He misses the time of we drinking together. For him it was quality time, we relaxing together (he has not a drinking problem).
He would love to see me be a moderate drinker. But I’ve tried that after 5 years sober, I can’t do that! I tried to explain and he says “I don’t want to send you to the dark side, but I miss it”.
I started the conversation because I’m 1 year sober next week. That date gives me mixed feelings and I was suprised to notice that he has mixed feelings too :pensive: I’m not considering drinking, but sometimes I’m so mad of life. It’s never easy :cry:

Thank you. It feels good to have friends around the world always available to listen, answer and send love.
He is now in intensive care, so I can not even call him… that is difficult. But I will stay strong because a drunken daughter is surely not what will help him.

Happy taking my little girl into school for her big day 4 of school this morning, she’s settled in well from nursery after the first day with a few tears, but love picking her up and getting all the stories of what she’s been upto today, proud daddy moment lol

Back home exercise time day 4: kettle bell weights, cycling, squats, sit ups, strengthen my core and finish off with some quality yoga & meditation time, body feels alot better today was a bit in bulk yesterday but again so far so good with not taking any painkillers at all since the start of my journey

Day 195
Slept fairly pain free. That’s always a bonus.
The results for the MRI I paid $350 for are back, but I have to pay the doc another $150 to tell me what they mean. Grrrrr
Ah well. Another sober day to fill from my perch on the sofa.

Have a great day, my friends!!

Day 100. Very happy to have reached this milestone but feeling a bit down. From reading your stories, I suspect this isn’t atypical. Nevertheless, I’m proud to have made it this far. Thank you all for sharing your struggles and stories. It has helped me immensely.
