Very understandable. I’ve watched and seen and loved other women as friends, go through something like this and it tears my heart. I’m always like “why don’t you just leave him!!” And I do realize it just doesn’t work that way. Please get the therapy support and help you need. Cuz I also have seen that same wonderful lady go from one abusive relationship to another. I don’t want that happening to you. You are strong and you are beautiful and you deserve so much better. And keep that sobriety front and center. And you got that cute Little Diddles right now who wants the best for his mom❤️

You’re ohhh so welcome!!! 
That really helps, especially tonight. I love waking up sober but I will admit that 5-7pm on the weekends especially is a challenge. I can see the advantage of hitting up the early bird special. But what you said about not drinking today and probably not tomorrow and leaving it at that is empowering. Reminds me this is my choice; no one is forcing me.
Yup. It’s nice here, gotta say. Got a few cocky bear though. And a badass fox.
@RX24 @mombobbie74 Congratulations!
@blond3284 Welcome! Glad ur husband is ok.
@Girlinterrupted The desire to “rescue” someone can be very powerful. But if someone is no good for u then they can’t be in ur life.
@MissJules Hugs. I’m sure that plenty of people who care, I understand it doesn’t always feel like that.
@Nvbookthief Stay strong! There are peaks and troughs in sobriety, hang on in this trough.
@Figgie As a Brit, I can’t donate blood in Japan either. It sucks.
@anon27700620 I also don’t mind if someone drops in. I don’t have to try to fake sober cos I am sober!

Wow! That’s some story @CapriciousCapricorn. I could imagine how hard it was for you to reach out after all this time. I’m happy it worked out and you found some peace.

Day 212~Pretty chill Saturday. Got some work done at home… sat out in the yard 
, did a few word searches and mediated. Went on a drive around the island and stopped for lunch at a local seasonal place… tourist are gone and our daughter works there so it was nice to visit her.
Tomorrow’s an exciting day for me. The obvious is my boys are back!! 
GO PATRIOTS 
And it will be my 7 months alcohol free. You know it’s been a wild fucking ride this sober journey of mine. Some days are the most powerful energized optimistic and other days completely suck and I hate everyone and thing and get on my own nerves. No matter what kind of day I remain sober. Sober is where it’s at. Honestly pretty much everything in my life is better now. That is not just a coincidence. It’s fact. 
I’ve been through a lot in my 37 years and getting and remaining sober is the absolute hardest but it’s so damn rewarding. We are so blessed. Forever thankful for a second shot at this beautiful life.

Seeing your success through struggle and also accomplishments makes me wish I had stuck with things when I was first active here in March. I remember seeing your posts then, too, and feeling on the same page so often. But I have the privilege now of seeing you as someone to aspire to and celebrate! You’re doing awesome and you’re so authentically yourself. Way to go, chica! Have a great day celebrating 7 months and the return of your team!
