Day 28! 4 whole weeks since I last used and hit my rock bottom… I’m so bloody grateful as I wouldn’t be where I am today. I’m starting to see my future and I know without drugs and help from you lovely bunch and some fellowship I can be free. I treated myself to a haircut today it was so lovely to have extra money to treat myself and look after myself again. It may sound crazy to some of you but my addiction took every penny I made just to make me feel well so waking up and treating myself is massive to me . I had a few hours to myself today and it’s so lovely to rest I’ve been so busy the past few weeks working doing recovery and being a single parent I often forget about my needs. So I’ve decided 1 day a month I’m gonna have a day by myself to get either my hair done or nails or massage or even if I just got for a day in the country side … it’s such a great feeling that my life and money isn’t being waisted … I’m very grateful today. Happy Thursday beautiful people x

I’m at about the same point as you (again, too), but I’ll hit 29 days tonight, as I recall.
My aim is just to focus on 1 month for now… then 45 days, 2 months, etc.
You can do it too, we all can.

Hi everyone. Time for me to head off to bed. I’m at 29 days now, so tomorrow I’ll be hitting 30 days… my first sober month in such a long time that even God has probably forgotten the last time ! Still, I suppose that I’m happy with myself about that… it’s a rare enough thing for me to be happy with myself about pretty much anything, so I suppose that I may as well enjoy this.
I’ve decided to go scuba diving in Greece at the end of the month, so that will be fun. I know that the Greeks are big on red wine, so I’ll have to be careful… I’ll be coming on here a lot while I’m there, I think. One of the things that I’m looking forward to seeing on the bottom of the sea are the big piles of amphorae that went down as the cargo of a boat that sank in the Med at some point back in antiquity. It’s funny to think that a lot of those amphorae probably contained wine ! It’s hard to imagine that people have been suffering with alcohol for such a long time…
Anyway, enough of my worthless moralizing ! I’m sure that that’s the last thing that anyone needs tonight.
So, off to bed. I hope that you are all well and having a nice and sober Thursday.
Goodnight everyone.

First day of school. 
. It’ll probably get easier as you get a routine. But these are crazy times.
I know what you mean about not saying no and people getting upset. It’s a hard one. I’m finally sixty now and I keep saying to myself I can say no and now and not care. But I still care. I’m not fooling anyone. Hopefully you can talk about it at AA where I’m sure people understand. I can’t believe the number of situations I got my self into when all I had to say was no. It’s hard being a caring person. I never thought of “my feeling” they are important too.
Have fun picking her up or seeing her after school

Day 210~ Very productive day. Got some shit done for the shop. Ran some errands. Had a nice lunch at a local BBQ place the food is delish. It’s a hole in the wall tin place but makes the best BBQ around. My daughter started hair school today. I’m excited for her. She’s always loved doing hair and makeup she’ll do well I think. Good lord do they give them a lot of equipment. I’m taking two duffle bags 
can’t wait until she has her license and can do my hair. 
Currently my sister does mine and she cost an arm and leg! No family discount there. Ha!
Tonight it’s finally FOOTBALL and to say we are pumped about it is an understatement. 
I can’t help it. It’s in my blood. My dad would prop me up on couch as a baby. I was his daughter that would watch sports. My sisters could careless. This will be my first time sober during football season… I’m excited and so looking forward to actually watching and not being passed out by the night game. By now I would have been 5 drinks deep and making some drunken version of lasagna. 
On that note let’s GOOOO!!! Are you ready for some football?

Today is stressful. . . Divorce sucks, broken relationships and hurt feelings suck, remorse sucks, and closing chapters of your life sucks. I’m just not that guy anymore.
