Hi everyone. Just a short note to say goodnight.
So my week of diving has come to an end in Greeceā¦ because of the relative remoteness of this island, I wonāt be back home until Sunday afternoon, though Iām leaving here tomorrow.
Things have gone well, and I have indeed managed to avoid my DoC, namely red wine. I had a couple of 0% beers (quite nice, too), but thatās it.
The video camera worked perfectly underwater, and Iāll enclose a few stills with this post. This shipwreck was discovered in 1985, but has only been open to the public for a couple of months, I believeā¦ this is the pilot season. So this boat sank about 2500 years ago, containing something like 4000 amphorae of mostly wine, and a bit of olive oil too, apparently. The rules for diving on this site are pretty strict, but understandable.
Iām over the 50 day humpā¦ I know that thereās some talk about an alcohol-free October. Well, Iām certainly aiming for MY October to be alcohol-free.
Goodnight, allā¦ have a happy and sober Friday.
Tomorrowā¦ Athens.

Day 14ā¦ Past few days have been stressful. I have an 8 year old son who is autistic. Heās had a rough few days at school with meltdowns. He has two loose teeth and I think that has him on edgeā¦ the plus sideā¦ I am able to take phone calls from the school in the late afternoon/evening because Iām SOBER. Iām able to support my son by saying the right thingsā¦ Or knowing when to not over communicate (which would just overwhelm him) Iām learning that I canāt drink away the bad daysā¦ I have to address them and I must be sober to effectively parent. I was a good mom beforeā¦ A really good momā¦ Butā¦ Now Iām a great momā¦ I am not depressed and going through the motions. I am authentically present and discovering myself, my potential and my worth. Life is beautiful!!!

- Late check in. This morning all the āpotus and flotus have covidā.stuff had me distracted too much to write here. Personally I had a fine day. I rode my hybrid bike to the cheese farm and to a good friend who has a new kitten sharing her place. It was kind of gloomy out but not cold. And mostly dry. It was nice to be out there. Grateful Iām able to do so, physically and mentally. Sober and clean. Hope your day is good all. Love from the polder.

Day 3. I had a really productive day today. I forget how important it is to be busy in recovery. Recovery is beginning to feel like a skill that just gets better over time. Lol I know it sounds obvious but I suppose things are a little more clear than yesterday.
Happy Weekend Everyone
