I do need to just breathe
Congratulations on the certification and not giving in to the drink!!
That’s great Kevin, congratulations!
Well done Eric! 8 months is a milestone in my book and I’m gonna celebrate in your honor. I don’t have any cake so ice cream it is.
Checking in on my 82nd day of sobriety to maintain my focus on day 83 to be Sober, glorious and free.
Feels like I am out of the woods but am I?
@Jennajen Sage advice!
There’s a time for everything - even time for a day of rest and not judging yourself. Thank you for showing up here just as you are, for sharing it with us, 'cause that just helps create the space where we can do the same. Be as kind and compassionate to yourself please as you are to the rest of us! Big hug 
Day 65.
Tired today - had a restless sleep. Not related to sobriety, I don’t think (but to the needs of the aging dog girl’s bladder in the night!). That said, I am tired lately, still finding my natural rhythms and energy levels in the day when life is lived alcohol free. I think my body, like my mind, is sighing with relief, and likely just needs more rest.
I made a rather underwhelming dent in my work to do list today, and could be more stressed about it, but right now, “Project Sober M” comes first. It’s about time! 
Goodnight, beautiful people. Big love to all
@anon86726034 I can totally relate to the impulse to drink after something like that. I hope you are super proud of yourself - for the certification and giving your sobriety a huge win today. Another example of what’s possible!
@Dazercat 8 months Eric! (or whatever we call you now?!) Way to go. Thank you for you 
@Clarity big step today. proud of you. you have to put your own oxygen mask on first, and take care of you and your child (or any dependents) before a relationship. when it gets hard, keep a picture in your mind’s eye of the life you want to live with your daughter.
Day 316 completed. Lots of high anxiety today over things that were not under my control. A headache developed. Went to bed at 7pm.
Husband woke me at 7:45 pm.
Got to ER at about 9pm. Will be here for a while. Loads of tests etc
Dr’s think it’s something to do with his gallbladder.
I mistakenly bought zero sugar coke.
My husband is dropping the F-Bomb every 13 seconds.
Had a run in with a security guard
They are playing fukin tennis on the tv.
It’s 11:27 pm.
I already had a busy schedule tomorrow. Guess it just got busier.
But… As a non-drinker, I was able to drive him to hospital !!! YAY! Couldn’t have done that 10 months ago 
Edit: 12:50 am, he’s being admitted.
Anyhoo 
Day 8. Sixth day of work. But really slow. 3 tables and I got the first one. I asked the other waitress if she was cool with taking the last one so I could leave early(something I never do bc I always feel like being seniority I should stay and make sure everythings done). She doesn’t work much and I believe in sharing the wealth. But I also don’t like feeling like I’m putting weight on other people. She’s real cool and was fine with it. I left at 7:51 and was able to make it to one of the 3 AA meetings going on right now(why I wanted to leave). My first in person meeting since March 14th. I almost felt like I was headed to my 1st meeting. Nervous but forcing myself out of my comfort zone. I walked in, a minute late, and the only chair left was in front of my little brother, who was sitting next to one of his childhood friends whose older brother I graduated with. Plus a man, I’ve previously known from the program(who’s got 20 years), that I saw yesterday with his daughter and 4 grandchildren from Massachusetts at a park, who the last thing I said to him was “Hope to see you soon”. It made me just feel at home. And all I could say was how grateful I was to finally be able to make it to a meeting. With real people. Theres just such an understanding vibe in the room. I left feeling as good as I left my first meeting back in January. I need this in my life every day to remind me. I need to get back into zoom meetings for days I have no other choice. It’s not the same but its something for now. I need that constant reminder of what I need to do and work on. My brother text me after and said “hey, we will have to catch up soon”. He’s one of my biggest regrets. For the way I treated him when I lived with him four years ago, not realizing I’d turn into him a year later. I’m still trying to figure out how we both ended up this way.
Oh no Cate! I hope he’s going to be ok. I’ll say a prayer. Your sobriety not only allowed you to drive him, but you’re able to be there mentally 100%. Sending you big hugs. 
Very well done getting out of your comfort zone. It sounds like a very successful day. Pat yourself on the back. You earned it.
Thank you Lisa 
I wish visitor seating was better. I’d take a nap… actually I’m close to lying on the ground, but suspect the security guard would pounce on that 
349 Days. I’m really worked up over my husband. He’s drinking again. I finally felt like we were a family again and he threw it all away. I’m fed up with the lies and him insulting my intelligence. The “my tongue is swollen” excuse for slurring is getting old. He’s not feeling well and constantly complaining. I have zero sympathy when he continues to put his health at risk.
Goodnight all my sober peeps. Cheers to another 24.
There’s got to be an extra bed somewhere. 
Day 5 SOBER 
What a great feeling! 
Nobody deserves to be abused. You do whats best for you, we’re here for you.
i give you credit i don’t think i could deal with my spouse being an active alcoholic. Protect your own sobriety, you’re doing awesome!
It is a great feeling. Isn’t it? You deserve it. Let’s all give it another one tomorrow. I will if you will. Sleep well.
