That is a big decision. I’m proud of you. That had to take a lot of thought and I’m sure you’ve exhausted all other possibilities. Good for you. You got a good 40 days behind or in ya. Great job. You got a clear head and are thinking correctly in my opinion.

Hey - just want to say that takes a lot of strength to do. Based on your posts and descriptions of his behavior, it sounds like a good move to me. Those who love us should build us up, not knock us down.
My parents split when I was 3, and while I’m sure my parents had plenty of times where they were very angry with eachother, they never ONCE spoke an ill word about the other. Never even came close. I’ve always appreciated that from them. Even now, despite having not been together for 28 years, and me being a grown man…my mom still respects him as the father of her son, and he respects her as the mother of his son.
By doing what is best for your own well-being, in turn it allows you to be the best mother you can be. That’s a great thing.

Anytime… vent away… We are here for ya. Glad to hear you got meditation and breath work. I’m sure you know if you’re too stressed to do that is when you gotta do it. Sorry about your puppa. Sic puppa is more than enough stress to deal with. Give him a good pet for me. I hope he’ll be ok. And by the way. It sounds like your working a good plan. And may I suggest a little exercise. Just even a short walk. Nothing to big. Maybe you’re already doing this but you didn’t mention it.

This is too funny. 
I love this.

If I got a choice I like “sugar” 
. I just love how the southern gals in the U.S. call people sugar.
I don’t like “Darlin”. I know I’m in trouble when I get “Darlin?”

Great job getting that five days in. Don’t let the numbers scare ya. Keep remembering. It don’t matter how many day as long as “I’m not drinking today.” I hope you can work in some exercise and or meditation. Keep up the great work. You’re so worth it.
Big step, and I’m so impressed. All the other stuff will work out. You’re making such a brave change to improve the quality of your life, and you deserve great things. We are all here for you. I know it won’t be easy, but pull strength from us

Checkin in on day 15 coming to an end. I felt really calm today, even though my life is still a huge mess. Hopefully I will gain the confidence to face all the problems I created while being busy drinking, procrastinating and feeling sorry for myself 🤷 … One day at a time! Hope everybody is having a good day

Hello friend. I totally understand how you feel. Checking in 13 days sober today and it was a hard day at work. I came home and just wanted to eat everything in sight. I know we feel the stress that life gives us everyday and I want to cry as well. Just let it out. I know it makes me feel better:) shoot I cried this morning in the bathroom lol. I’ve been procrastinating on my schoolwork too, just haven’t been motivated. But I know I should start on it soon because I have a paper due Sunday. Let out your cries, scream, take a walk. I am actually going to go on a short walk this evening and scream, yell, cry, and pray. It works for me every time. And I definitely need it right now. Take care❤️

Checking in on day 23. Enjoying the slow slide of summer into autumn. Eating way too much chocolate 
but feeling clear and even a bit of peace.

Day 12, not bad; got some positive things done that needed to get done. Its like everyday I discover something negative that happened during my last binge.
Recovery definitely gets slower each and every time. Got to keep pushing!

Day 202~ Feeling ok today. I think I just have so much going on with work and the shop I’m not able to really just process much emotionally or mentally right now. Feels like time is flying by and I’m going non stop. I feel myself starting to get anxious with so many changes ahead. I’m learning to work though my nerves and overthinking. I cannot let it control me or take me down a road I don’t want to walk.
This group is so supportive and really does help with my sobriety. It’s nice to have the daily reassurance of support and a safe place to relate to people that know the struggles with addictions. There’s light at the end of the tunnel. Each day we are sober is a gift. 
Keep trying.
