I’m so sorry. That’s hard and heartbreaking, but what a love! They teach us so much. Thinking of you @RosaCanDo. And kudos to you for another day of not drinking

This is wonderful. To feel the grip of booze slackening and to see the world with those new eyes. I’m happy for you!

Thank you - they really are treasures. I have learned so much about living whole heartedly and about giving love freely from my pets, especially my dogs. They’re remarkable creatures.

11M 25D / Today I woke up with no hangover and no feeling of shame and regret and that’s because I chose not to pickup that 1st drink. I’m currently getting ready to deploy to the Middle East. We’ve been training since the beginning of Sept. and are soon heading out to or MOB station in 2 weeks. I’ve been training hard and leading by example. You see, it’s hard for some of the young Soldier’s to comprehend what I am doing but I explain it in a way that makes them understand. Everything I’m doing now is because of my Sobriety and that in itself reminds every day that I have a drinking problem and I can’t drink. It’s been almost 1 Year for me you see and I’m simply amazed how far I’ve came. I finally have a good grasp on my mind and I’m going to take the time on this deployment to work on my body for when I come back, it’ll be 2 years without drinking.
God works in mysterious ways. He has a plan for me. And I’m going to make sure I’m physically and mentally fit to take on my Destiny. Whatever that may be. Thanks for hearing me out everyone. I love each and everyone of you. Have a good day!

I have too; I haven’t eaten any more either; if anything it’s less. Going to step up my game in the gym. I think it’s making me more depressed than my usual, lol

Day 26 - feeling really tired today but did almost 30,000 steps yesterday so maybe I’m feeling a bit drained. The intermittent fasting is also a factor but I’m feeling great and losing weight little by little. 
not long now until 30days

I’m so sorry to read this. Pets are family, period. I’m so sorry that he is nearing the end, especially so close to losing Teddy. Although they are with us for such a relatively short time, they leave permanent imprints on our hearts and in our lives.
15 years is a great, long life - although I know it still feels all too short. You gave him a loving home and a great life, and I’m certain he loves you for it. Seems like such a good boy.
Hang in there, Courtney. Hard times right now but you can and will get through it, and sober.

1 day, 13 hours… I’ve missed this forum massively… you were all so welcoming and supportive when I started on my journey… but I was struggling to abstain and was clearly not ready. So I walked away for a while. I know I need to do this, but I now actually want to. The thought of not toasting either of my daughters at their weddings always played on my mind, and became my reason for not wanting to completely give up. I now realise how stupid that sounds… they’re 19 and 16!!! They hate my drinking! I promise to you guys and myself, that I will give this my all and check in daily. Congrats to all that have continued their progress whilst I have been away. Xxxxx

I’m so sorry Courtney pets are so much a part of our family and they bring so much love and joy. It sounds like they were both really lucky to have had you for a mom. Spoil him rotten in his remaining days. Hugs my friend.
