Day 45 the days are flying past at the moment. Not every day is great but itās so much better then being on drugs ! Going no contact with my ex was going well until he turned up drunk and drugged up the other evening he really does mess with my head and makes me feel so bad about myself. But onwards and upwards I canāt live in my past I only have today . Iām reading a book called women who love to much ā¦ Itās so interesting to see how my mind works and how I need to change my way of thinking Iāve only read a few pages and Iām already hooked ! Hopefully Iāll be a new women after I finish the whole book !!! Happy Sunday beautiful people xxx

My mother in law called me this morning, she said unfortunately she was calling with bad news. My heart sank and I almost threw up. I knew what she was going to say. Matt had a terrible accident on his motorcycle and is in surgery. I thought for sure she was going to say he was dead. The second he got this stupid fucking bike I knew this would happen. I wouldnāt let him have one when we were married. Iām terrified of them and watched a guy die once. First thing he does is get a damn bike when we get divorced. Heās not even had it a month. His bones broke so bad theyāre sticking out of his legs. Heās in surgery getting all sorts of metal rods in his legs. This could potentially disable him. Iām on edge. Heās been in surgery for hours. No one can go to the hospital because of Covid. Thanks to @crystalclear and @Lisa07 as they knocked some sense into me about breaking no contact. I still need to think on it.
OK MIL just texted, heās out of surgery and it went well. His legs are in bad shape and heāll be in bed for at least 6 weeks. They are still waiting on other x-rays. Lord help me just be supportive enough to not get sucked back in.

Phew!! Thank god it was only severely broken bones. You canāt afford to lose another person right now after what you just went through. I know you have a great therapist to help navigate you through this. In the meantime, Iām keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Iām glad heās out of surgery and seems to mend for the most part. I know youāll find that healthy balance; being there for him as a trusted, loving friend and keeping it there. Hugs sweetieā¦

374 Days. I had a beautiful celebration AA meeting last night. There were 4 other celebrantsā¦3 years, 22 years, 31 years and 38 years. I was feeling a little down since I was only at 1 year and these women have much more time but they reminded me weāre all working on today. They gave me a bunch of small sobriety gifts. Then 5 of us went out to dinner. Getting to know these ladies on a deeper level is exciting. I have all these new beautiful friends that Iād never have if I was still using.
I mentioned hubby wanted to come. Well he couldnāt make it because he was pulled over for a suspended license and got held up with the cops for an hour. Of course he blamed this on me. Apparently, the plates on the car I totalled while drunk were never turned in to motor vehicle. The car was registered in his name so they suspended him when I took it off the insurance. He knew this had happened but did nothing to fix it. Instead of taking responsibility, he blames me. Yes, Iām the one that had the accident and Iāve done everything to fix what I can but I canāt fix his license. He ended up with tickets but could have been arrested.

Believe me Donna, his days are numbered. Iām so done with his shit. I really think he knows how serious I am now. Iāve only given him extra time bc I know how hard it is to fight this disease but thereās only so much time I have left to give before I make a move that can change all of our lives forever.

Itās the evening of day 14, Iām back from the meeting with friends, they drank good wine, I stayed sober. Wasnāt easy, but wasnāt too difficult either. It would have been good to join them, but I know I would regret it and I have to avoid slipping back into heavy drinking. I decided in advance to drink tea and/or water and it went well. We had a really good time, probably will repeat it tomorrow afternoon.

Proud of you Lisaā¦ My opinion sobriety must be reciprocated in a relationship. No one likes to be on an island alone for very long. Wishing you peace and serenity in your recovery. Congratulations on your one year. That is a big deal for people like us. Youāre in my prayers my friend.
