Day 26. Achy, sore throat start to the day, mind goes to, well you know. Up moving around and feeling better. Filled the bird feeder and saw my first green shoots of Spring FINALLY! The mini day lilies are poking through the earth. It smells like Spring after some rain, too. Today is a hide inside out of the gloomy, stormy day. Hoping that the severe weather headed to parts of the Midwest and beyond aren’t too damaging and people stay safe today. It’s the scariest part of tornado season.
At 86 days now. I would have given it all up Thursday evening if it wasn’t for Covid19. See… I was going on a once in a lifetime family trip with my grown up children and their spouses. The eight of us all got time off together and we were going to be on a barge in Holland tomorrow touring the tulips and windmills and Gouda and Ketel One Vodka distillery and clog makers. I haven’t been on a vacation forever. Anyway. I’m sure I would have been drinking on the plane for the Atlantic crossing. And having fun drinking on the boat. Or would I? I don’t really know. For weeks I had been planning my relapse post for when I got back from our vacation. I’m pretty sad we are not in the Netherlands . A little depressed. But grateful my grown up children have spouses that are wonderful and they don’t have to go through this shit alone. I’d like to be angry but I don’t know who to be angry at. So thank you world for this pandemic I’m stuck at home hunkered down and I’m still sober. And I don’t even feel like drinking. I’d like to plan another trip with my family but it seems the best way to plan things right now is ONE DAY AT A TIME.
Had to get that off my chest.
Love you guys.
Today is Day 18. I missed checking in yesterday, we had a beautiful day outside yesterday I spend it cleaning up the Patio, Yard and attempted to make more room in the garage but ended up just looking at things I forgot we had and made more of a mess really LOL.
Anyways, it’s a rainy Saturday today so I’m gonna make the most of it with the Family at home. Not like we really have a choice right now.
Also I’m feeling guilty because I didn’t tell anyone here about this trip because I wanted to drink while on vacation. When I told y’all I was planning on drinking in January for my 60th birthday y’all gave me so much great advice I was sober through my 60th birthday and that was the best present. Kind of pissed me off though. Love u guys.
Woo hoo! Congrats on 90 @CapriciousCapricorn! I can totally relate to your great post. This recovery shit is hard and your smashing it. Thank you for being here and thanks for all the amazing support you give to me and all the others.
I have a daughter with ADHD and she ended up living at her dad’s. I can’t help thinking it was due to my drinking. Good for you that it has helped your whole family.
Welcome back @Fargesia_murielae! I was missing your daily posts. Also, the great advice you give to everyone has always helped me tremendously even when it’s geared towards someone else.
I’ve used that giff to make people laugh now the poor little boy makes me want to cry… He reminds me of my grandson, apparently he’s sitting at home with a picture of his nana (my partner) bc he’s missing her being stuck in doors.
