- Drove 1000 miles today, 500 more tomorrow then I will be with my family. Nephew is graduating…which makes me happy. Then off to boot camp. I am conflicted, I wanted to be the last one to serve in my family. Our military heritage, echos this nation’s from the beginning. I have seen what the combination of alcoholism and war has done. I wanted better for him. It is his choice, his life…and I will be a proud Uncle of a Marine.

Day 75… took my son and nephew to skate park for a few hours. Tons of scooter kids but they still had a great time, nothing broke on either bike so it turned out to be a nice Sunday. We ordered crabs for Tomorrow too, Sucks all we could get were smalls!!

Day 5. I am absolutely gutted. Family member who smoke weed for years and years and occasionally sort him self out with cocaine was looking to have a conversation with me about I shouldn’t be drinking etc. Don’t really know what I should think about this. He made me feeling uncomfortable ( nicely said) and I almost had a fall out with him.
Sorry…Can I just swear and say? Fuck it. I am still sober and will do all I can to continue being. Had no cravings all day till this happened but if had few drinks it would show lack of control towards my emotions. I try keeping strong.
Thankfully I could log in here and get my head away from wrong thoughts. Thanks TS supporters.

Well done, temptation will always be around the corner and we can always choose to turn the other way.

It probably wasn’t coming from a bad place and you were not drinking so maybe it was meant as encouragement. In any case congratulations on 5 days!

Thanks Lisa…we had a great visit, he was with us just short of a month…we had to take a couple of weeks to recover afterwards!! I haven’t parented a 5 year old in 35 years, a bit more tiring these days…plus the whole school thing. We did help him start sight reading and got him swimming, both were a real joy to watch him learn.
Hope you are well!

Cate, hang in there and don’t pick-up. Reach out if you need to. You are tough as nails. Remember that!!!

Great job, keep reaching out and getting the feelings out. Sometimes just typing helps. Great job on 5 days!!! Don’t let anyone talk you out of sobriety.

Day 7 => 173 (days to 6 mos sober)
Almost forgot to check in on this beautiful Sunday. Had a day of walking and food. I’ve decided I like eating a lot more than drinking. I used to drink my meals, but eating them is much much better.
Shout out to the 6 month celebration crew!!! We have 173 days ( approximately to go for anyone remotely close to 7 days ):

Checking in on day 17.
Had a nice slow moving Sunday, and enjoyed picking out some flowers for our planters. I can’t help but be happy with new flowers to look at.
