Stay strong friend🙏🏽
@Girlinterrupted Some people can’t see outside of themselves and think it’s okay to insult other people and treat them like trash. I’m so sorry you had that happen. That was completely unfair to you. I’m glad you have the support that you seem to have and that you’re holding strong.
@Olivia I’m glad that you didn’t relapse. It’s amazing how important routines can be, isn’t it? Hang in there.
@PeacefulMind1974 Welcome!
@Dragonflygirl82 I’m so sorry to hear about your dog. It’s so hard to watch our furry friends go from a lively young thing to old and frail. There’s so much love that’s been built up over the years. They are our substitute children, our friends, our room mates, and our family. My heart goes out to you in this trying time. Losing a beloved animal family member is so hard because they have such a special place in our hearts. Making that choice of when to let them go is one of the most excruciatingly difficult choices there can be. I hope you’ll be able to find peace in this situation, despite how difficult it is.

I am one month sober today! 
I was working a lot so the time just flew by … I can hardly believe it!
I usually relapse around 90 days … This time I’m starting to admit to myself that I have a problem for the first time. Never did that before. I even think I’ll be ready to talk to the people in my life about it at some point.
I’m not really comfortable to talk about myself at all … but I’m working on it 
Just wanted to let you know that I read all of your stories and comments. The members of this forum inspire me and keep me sane and sober. I really appreciate each and every one of you - even if I haven’t really shared myself yet 
thank you!

Congratulations on your one month! Share as much or as little as you feel comfortable. Sometimes it can take a while to find that balance, but it will come.

That’s so sad, my heart goes out to poor moose. It really hurts when a pet is suffering. You do what’s best for him. Many hugs to the Ole boy. 
Blessings and sobriety!

Oh no Courtney. I just saw this. I’m am so so sorry to hear about Moose. Oh man. Oh I know how pained you must feel. I’m so sorry. The vet can’t do anything else? I’m sure you’ve exhausted all possibilities and whatever. Are you able to help him up? I had to get a big bath towel to put under my Max’s back legs and help him up to take pressure of the back legs. And walk him out. It’s not a fix but as he needs to go out or whatever it helped a lot. I’m heart broken for you too. Loosing a good dog is the fucking absolute worse. You’ll know when it’s time. Poor Moose. Give him a hug for me. And just go a head and cry your ass off. It’s ok. I’m so fuckin sorry. It doesn’t make it any easier to hear but you gave him the best life ever.

364 Days. I had my monthly appointment with my addiction doctor today. Being the owner of the detox center, she’s been with me since day 1. I love this woman and look forward to our monthly session. Hubby had the nerve to complain about the $300 fee. Really?! Wtf?! After what I wasted on drugs, this is a drop in the bucket. This is coming from the man that’s still drinking and spends more than that a month on alcohol. I’m not going to feel guilty for taking care of my health. This was not a good start to my day but I worked thru the anger and went to the office, not without letting him know what I thought. I’m not proud of how I handled it but I’m worthy of a sober life no matter what the cost.

I hope you can find some peace around you and your pup, Courtney. I have a couple fur babies myself so I know how attached we can get, and how much we can love them. Sounds like Moose has had a long and happy life. Thinking of you.

Yes you are very worthy of a sober life no matter what the cost. I’m sorry for your struggle with the husband. You’re worth whatever it takes to be sober and have a good life. We all are. Good for you keeping that appointment.

Good morning 
I cannot believe you have The Jetsons glasses. That is an amazing find. I am totally floored by that. So cool. Were they like jelly jars at one time? Where did you get those ?

I miss those shows, today’s cartoons aren’t just as good. And Omg how I wanted a Jetsons car.

I found them at a second hand store years ago for less than $1 each. It was a full set of Jetsons and a full set of Flintstones, but they broke over time unfortunately. You can’t save everything though, that won’t make you happy. So we use them because that make us happy.
Don’t think they’ve ever been anything else besides just drinking glasses.
