Day 93 clean and sober today. Hoping to put more focus on myself and my recovery today rather than ruminate about my ex fiance. I need to face the reality that she’s gone and never coming back. Sucks because I wish she could see me now instead of the memories of the man I was when I sick and in my disease. Anyway, I love you guys have an amazing day today!!!

Sending healing energy to you. The thing about transitions like this is that now you can move forward without anything holding you back except what is within your control, which is your self. That is good news! And you have a whole lot of people in your corner on here to help with the tough emotions. Hang in there. You have inspired me in reading about your journey.

Day 6 (wow that came quickly): The sun is finally shining and we had breakfast on the deck. Was sitting here listening to my husband talk about what he’s interested in seeing happen during this break from alcohol (he plans to drink on the 27th for his birthday and also does not have the issues I have with excess or stopping but he can drink a lot and often sometimes, too). Things like affects on chronic pain, sharpness of mind and confidence. It was a good conversation, I mostly listened. He talked about drinking as a habit and how “we” can look at alcohol differently (he means he). I don’t know where this is going but it sounds good. I’m still taking my days one at a time and on my own path now.

It is, but I’ve never done that before! 
Mornings have never been my strong suit!
108.48 days. Wild dreams since cutting off the ex. So weird. I’m sure time will heal this. I’ve submitted my name change. I just need ties to be completely cut. There are so many conflicting emotions with this one. One thing I do feel secure in is my desire to stay single. I feel safe single, happy single, and can’t picture letting someone into my happy little bubble. This is so polar opposite of how I’ve lived my entire life. I’ve always craved love and approval from men. I’ve been married or in a serious relationship since the age of 17 when I got engaged for the first time. We won’t go into how many engagements I backed out of lol.

It’s a layered ground beef dish with burger meat with onions carrot and celery and spices on the bottom. And topped with whipped mashed potatoes and cheese. There’s an American version we do over here with a layer of creamed corn in the middle so it’s three layers. As a child in school we called it “Chinese Pie.”I have no idea how it got that name. But you can Google Chinese Pie and you get the recipe my grandma use to make.

On your 2 weeks. That’s big time!!
I’m glad you are reaping the benefits of being healthy physically and mentally in sobriety.
That celiac disease stuff really sucks though 
I didn’t know that’s why you were doing gluten-free. So many people do gluten-free cuz it sounds good or better or healthy. And that’s cool. But you really have to do it or you actually get sick. That sucks. However. Over here there seem to be a lot of gluten-free options in stores and restaurants. I hope it’s like that where you are. I’m glad your sober and can deal with it so much better and find a healthy life style that will fit your body. Look at all your learning about yourself.
God Bless.
And I hope you are having a nice Sunday. Just getting mine going.

So it’s actually s Shepherd’s pie with different meat? It sounds delicious anyway and I’m definitely going to check it out on Pinterest. Even if Chicken Pot Pie is my all time favorite. (well besides Pumpkin Pie, but I guess that counts as dessert)
Thank you for the recipe HoneyBee.

Thank you Sugar 
I really wish it was because it’s “healthy” or trendy.
But as I wrote I’m just lucky I got my common sense back, cut the drinking and started to treat my body right before it was to late.
As a kid I absolutely hated being the allergic one who always caused trouble. And had to have a special meny. So eventually I ditched that, had to go back a few years ago, but the drinking took over and I stopped caring about it. I was feeling ill anyway so it didn’t really matter at that time.
It seems like the assortment has gotten better over the years. And I know my condition isn’t really rare. But it’s still a bit tricky to find things that are both gluten-free and diary free. Luckily I live in an Oat country so we’ve got a lot of oat based things. It’s said that Sweden grows the best oat in the world because the cold wet and muddy weather conditions is perfect for growing oat. The weather still sucks though so it might be a saying just to keep us happy putting up with it
And luckily going Vegan is a huge trend so we’ve got a lot of Vegan options too. We don’t eat out much, but I do know McDonald’s is doing dairy and gluten free meny options. And I think our local café does to. I’m going to explore that ob Friday. Our pizza place doesn’t and the owner only speaks Danish or Arabic so I’ll just skip eating there
Also I’m assuming Pinterest will be a great help in finding recipes so I’m about to check that out too.
Hoping your Sunday will be lovely. We’re about to go to bed in a few hours here.

It’s chicken pot pie season here. I’ve never made one. But I love them. I might have to add that to my new arsenal of cooking. Need to find a good simple easy recipe that I don’t need to follow to closely. I suck at following recipes. My wife always says “make it like you made it last time”. I can never remember exactly how I made whatever it was last time.
I guess that’s the chef in me.
Dogs are waiting.

I do the same, a lot of times I just mix things together until it tastes good. My husband who actually have been a chef goes crazy on that, my brother who is a chef does too.
I usually call them Ramsey 1 and 2 (From the angry tv chef Gordon Ramsey)
