Checking in (I am not sure if this is right). I am feeling good I woke up this morning without guilt, it’s Friday so my typical Friday is beer after work so I have to have an alternate.

Day 93
Still tramadol/opioid & painkiller free
Wednesday was a bit of a right off but pushed myself through it and determined not too let it beat me, presume it was paws or just my mind battling away, but hey ho!
Thursday was a complete turnaround and slept great, good day in general, loads of positive vibes and lovely to see mum so happy when went to visit her, some hope for my family 
Today
Up early and fresh, took the little one to school, quite happy in her pink wellies lol
Cycling, core & plank, kettle bells, sit ups, stretch & twists, sweaty vibes! 
Yoga for body restorative
Breathing exercises, deep calm technique
Meditation to unwind
Nice hot shower, works a treat
Some house chores to crack on with
Video game session after lunch toying between the Megadrive or Sega Saturn?
Get the little one later and watch some cartoons then cook us all a nice tea, before missus home and have nice family evening
Have a great day peeps and we’ve got this, just sometimes we need to push or battle, but we will get there in the end!

10.5 days… I’m trying to forgive myself for being stupid enough to text my soon to be ex husband yesterday. Nothing relationship related, just a question about something from our old business. He gets off on ignoring me, and I know this. Problem is, for some odd reason I feel like I still love him. I’m in love with the idea of what I thought he was. The person he tricked me into thinking he was. I fell madly in love with him and then the abuse started. I never thought I would be the person that stayed. But here I am six years later with multiple TBIs, c-ptsd, and permanent back damage. Yet I treat him like a human. I know what he is (psychopath and sociopath). He is completely incapable of empathy. He’s aware of this. I’ve done so much research. I’m a fixer. I always wanted to fix him. I thought I saw good behind his eyes, and still do. I’m such a dumbass. Sadly, I don’t think that diagnosis is fixable. But stupid me thinks with enough love anything is. I should count my blessings that I made it out alive. Divorce is on January 22nd and I’m ashamed to admit I’m sad and devastated about it, but I digress.
We had a function for my sister company yesterday evening. Our accounting guy also sings, so he was performing for the team at a local coffee shop/bar. That’s the new thing here in a Charlotte lol. Anyway, I always get a kick out of seeing people get tipsy. It makes me feel good about my decision to be sober. It’s weird, I enjoy it so much more sober because I can engage, and actually remember the night before, and wake up shame free. However, I rode in with a colleague, he drove. I wasn’t paying attention to how much he drank. His demeanor did not change and he seemed the same as always. That was the scariest goddamn ride home. I wasn’t sure how to handle that. The guy works for me, do I say let me drive your car? I guess so. I told him going forward I’m driving because his A/C broke. It was freaking 98 degrees last night. I’ll take that over winter any day, but damn.
Grateful for another sober day. I’m looking forward to the weekend with my daughters. I’m lucky enough to have them both home at the same time

Good to see you posting more. Keep it up!!
Shared with my parents about my recovery progress yesterday. They were encouraging and glad for me.
It’s always a bit stressful to share because then we have accountability. There is that element of “what if I fail in this endeavor like the other times?”
The difference this time is that I’m choosing reward over punishment and freedom over restriction.
Happy Friday, everyone!

For some reason, this week has been a tough one. I haven’t thought about drinking this consistently in a long time. Yesterday, after work I told my boyfriend that I had to run some errands and ended up by the liquor store. I drove around and parked in the parking lot and started crying. I just wanted one drink. But I told myself it wouldn’t be just one drink - it would be a bottle or three. I haven’t felt this weak in a long time. 2 months, 6 days today.

True true, thank you I think just the fact that I let her know about my plans is good enough pressure
