The library is normally where I go to fax but itās not open yet. Our state is still in the very early stages of reopening. I may have to ask my boss if I can sneak in the office over the weekend and use that one.

I use an online service. If you have CamScanner on your phone (free) you can turn pics into odd and then fax it. Not the cheapest to fax online, but at least itās an option.

Day 5, 3 meetings down this week. My girlfriend is still struggling to believe that this is the time I will actually stay sober and be able to handle stressful situations without returning to drinking. I totally get it, especially with a 1 month old baby girl now she needs to be able to depend on me sometimes when things get to much for her. And I cant do that sober. Iām hoping going to my meetings which is something new to me this go around will show her Iām serious this time. I wasnāt an alcoholic when my son was born and that was the happiest time of my life. I definitely want that with her and our new baby. We started reading the book āthe love dareā last night by her request and Iām hoping that helps her come around a little faster.

Iām reading them over and theyāre great for a few pages, however it gets pretty expensive and complicated to send over 10 pages. But itās a good backup if I canāt do it from work.

The Love Dare is a fantastic book. Read it and you will learn that Love is action, not feeling.
Being sober is just one more way you can love your mate. Do the things suggested in the book, and you will be expressing love.
A family is a legacy. They are what remain after we are gone, and what we pour into them, they will pour into their children. This is as close to immortality as we can get, in this world. Children learn about love from the actions of their parents, how the parent treats the child, and how the parents treat each other. The feeling of āloveā is totally dependent on the actions of love.
Love them. Love yourself. Stay sober.

Congratulations on making it past 300 days lady! I missed it. Iām pretty sure Fed Ex or an Office Depot/Staples type store will let you fax for a fee. Hopefully one of those are open around your house. Sending you a big hug! I know the last few months have been so super challenging for you! Iām so impressed youāve stayed sober through it all! Proud of you.

Day 644. Was frantically trying to get work sorted before a vacation and then realised that nothing is so important that it canāt wait until I get back. Instead, I will stop struggling, and instead will relax and take it easy. Bird training is coming along nicely. This sweet little girl was frightened of her own shadow 2 months ago. Now she comes out of the cage to explore, fly, and eat from my hand.

Thank you man, everything you said is very true. I did stop doing my mindful meditation and I think itās time to hop back on board. Youāre right preparing myself for a war only sets myself up for one. Iām just not sure why I feel so angry lately, thatās why I felt that I needed to dig further. If I go in with a happy mind set and mom is still grouchy well then thatās on her, I need to keep my own peace and let her deal with w.e is going on with herself

I like this alot, And thank you. I do know what I need to do. In reality I say I know I need to move, because I do. But Iām also afraid to do it bc then I am totally independent and Iām afraid of having to pay for bills. I am still not finacially capable of doing it on my own yet and Iām afraid to fail and look like a idiot. I absolutely know for a fact I canāt afford a apartment they are all to expensive Iāve already looked, and then Iād need furniture, have to pay electric, food and clothes for my girls. And it really angers me that I canāt do any of that yet. So itās like I know what I need to do be independent, but I canāt do it even tho I work full time
