Day 201~ My day was frigan crazy busy.
Started with an early wake up to meet the contractors. Although that I must say was kinda pleasant. I’m loving the new counter and over all look of the shop. I’ll take a pic tomorrow. Anyways my regular 9-5 was busy with a team member out so I was non stop all day. My daughter and I got into it. She can be such a witch sometimes. 
I have been a lot better with trying not to over act and basically “picking” my battles with them but for fucks sakes I’m still their mom and deserve some respect. Just makes me so angry. I hate when I get angry… makes me cry and my mind likes to slip in to addict mode… with the why do I bother what’s the point. It’s dumb and I know it’s frigan ridiculous to think like that. We made up a half hour later. Forgiveness is something I’m always quick to give and receive. Life’s to short not to.
I snapped outta my funk by the afternoon. I’m realizing more and more with each day I’m gonna have a range of emotions each day I just need to acknowledge them, process them, and let them go. Things always get better in the end.
The night ended with our ride around the island doing car karaoke. Tonight’s song was Eminem and Lil Wayne. 
Got a couple of cool pics of the moon too!

I had a same scenario yesterday with my son; he was being shitty on the phone to me and I said we can talk when you’re not being disrespectful to me. We spoke after that and I said he was acting like a teenager, I don’t deserve that AT ALL.

348 Days. I still wasn’t feel well today but I was able to get my work done. No appetite and feeling drained. My husband isn’t feeling well either, yet he makes a big deal about it. I’m supposed to drop everything and attend to him and his whining and moaning. This is a man that builds houses for a living but can’t handle a little illness. I’m expected to work and take care of the family no matter how I’m feeling. Ugh! A mother/wife’s work is never done.

Happy Tuesday everyone!! It is 7:15 pm and I’m getting ready for bed. Hope everyone had a wonderful day:) It has been a crazy week for me and it’s only Tuesday lol. Meetings and online seminars at work, helping my kids with their schoolwork, and also trying to focus on my own homework and sobriety. My foot needs to heal already so I can continue my jogs. I miss the open road and getting lost in my thoughts. Jogging is my therapy. I appreciate my life and all the good things in my life after a nice, long jog!!! Taking it one day at a time. My coworker/best friend said she is not drinking as well. She was in the AA program before the pandemic and she wants her clear head back. I’m proud of her!! We will continue to support each other like we always have. We sure have been through a lot together. We drank together, fought, argued, cried, laughed. Even through the hard times, we managed to still be the best of friends. 20 years of friendship. That is truly hard to come by. Anyways, you guys take care. Much love:heart:

@Tim904 Day 10 is double digits. Nice!
@anon27700620 congrats on 3 weeks! Glad you get to go home soon.
@Frozenyoghurt One month! that is huge.
@RosaCanDo you knit? That’s impressive. I tried - took a class to knit a scarf. All thumbs. Sobriety is going better for me! Glad your husband was receptive to feedback and that he can be supportive.
@Rockstar24777 I think it’s true what they say, that it’s all gotta start with a whole lot o’ love for yourself. But hey, isn’t that what this forum is all about? We are all bearing witness to each other, to our own attempts to love ourselves and our lives deeply and fully. And as @anon79808082 said, I’m going to hazard a guess you’ll find again!
@CapriciousCapricorn Amazing. I think of it less as going back to school and more as your victory lap. Anyone with your fighting spirit, courage, and will already has a wall of honorary doctorates, as far as I’m concerned…

Day 64.
Change can be slow! I see how often the “I need a drink” thought would fly into my mind throughout a day, only because it is slowly changing to gratitude or relief to be sober. I don’t say this self-righteously, but as more of an admission or confession of how frequent the impulse to drink would arise. Honestly, I will be replacing one thought with the other for a long time yet. But I am relieved that I don’t, actually, need a drink, that I give myself proof every day that I can do this.
Definitely not alone, not on my own.
Grateful to all of you for being here and sharing. Big love to all
