Day 104.
Road tripping back home after my week away. The combo of rain, construction delays, deer standing in the middle of the highway, and fatigue - and I opted to overnight in a pet-and-family-friendly roadside hotel. I can hear the busy water slide, the whole place smells like chlorine and french fries, and the dog girl is not impressed with whatever is yapping across the hall. Ah, an unconventional Canadian Thanksgiving for me! :laughing:

Four months ago my singular focus would have been on getting off the road and cracking into something cold - and strategizing on when and where would be best to stop for that reason, whether the liquor store would be open, etc. Three months ago this trip was a challenge. Today I’m just grateful for this bed I get to crash in (and the fact that the pool and kitchen close soon :joy:)

I’m also super duper grateful for this forum and this thread, and to all of you who show up here and share your days and your stories - I draw deeply from your strength and commitment every day. Big love. :orange_heart:
And Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all of you! :canada:

I just love reading your daily strength and journey.

This is exactly how I feel about your journey through sobriety. :point_down:
“I draw deeply from your strength and commitment every day.”

Nice pic of the rainbow. But shouldn’t you have 2 hands on the wheel?
Safe trip home.

The dog girl took the photo? :woozy_face:

I promise I won’t make a habit of it. Wait - that sounds like what I said about drinking too much back in uni days! :laughing:

Okay. I won’t do it again. Thanks friend. :pray:

  1. Autumn is in full swing here. Drinking is getting further and further away from me. A busy day at work ahead. Would have felt terrible about it hungover like I would have been 493 days ago. Now it’s just that, a busy day. Have a good week all. Thanks for being here for each other, for me and for yourselves. Sober and clean. Love from my little square.

Still on day 1, not coping with stress or pressure very well at all. I know I have been sober before, I know I can be there again.

I know, that’s probably a universal teen thing :joy:
She did order herself a pair but apparently 3-5 days is “an eternity” in teen years so she took mine. :blush: I’m not borrowing her new pair when they arrive because that’s more “ripped” and holes than actually pants.

In my humble opinion, her calling you a shitty parent all the time is verbal abuse. You are not a shitty parent. You are doing the best you can do and your girls know that you love them. All parents just do the best they can with what they’ve got. You’ve been dealt a crap hand with someone who won’t play fair with you. That doesn’t make you a shitty person or a shitty parent. You are doing amazing with your sobriety and that is going to matter so much to your girls. They’re going to remember your love and they’ll remember that you were there when you were with them, that you were present and clean.

I just saw this my sober friend and wanted to send my belated congratulations! How awesome to have two years of sober living. “Learning To Fly”, such a great analogy and one of my favorite songs! Thank you for all your support and way to go. Don’t ever look back!!
