That’s good advice, for me and everyone. You’re totally right.
Also good for you taking an internet break! That’s such a healthy thing to do.
Are you aware of what prompted you to pick it up? If you can identify and remember that, and make a plan on what you’re going to do when that comes up again, it might really help you dtay on track. Hang in there and keep trying.

Had a great day. Parents visited. Watched football. Prayed, did my daily readings. Went to treatment center and helped make supper. Went to a 12 step meeting. Watching Fear the walking dead now.
Have a great night all.

Day 269~ Busy weekend and worked pretty much the entire time. Business is good so I really can’t complain. I’m blessed and thankful for all I have. 
None of this would be possible if I were still drinking. That’s real talk… FACTS. I’d be passed out and waking up the next morning full of anxiety and shame… saying the famous line… I’m gonna stop… I’m not drinking today. Every-time I would say that I knew it was a lie… I wasn’t going to stop, I couldn’t stop. Thank God I saw the light and I’m not that person anymore.
I’m starting to feel the need to give back. I’m gonna work this week on locating a local family to support this holiday season. Holidays are supposed to be special and full of love and cheer but I know how stressful financially it can be. I’ve been there. If we can help just a little and relieve some stress, that’s what I want to do. 
People often forget how a small gesture to someone can really go a long way and mean so much. I know that’s true for me.
Well hope everyone is doing good, staying strong, and fighting the fight.

416 Days. Hubby has been home from the hospital a few days and still not feeling good but went to work anyway. He’s self employed so there’s no time to rest and customers want the work finished that he started. I’m just worried he’ll over do it and wind up back in. I’m thankful he hasn’t been drinking. I think he’s on 3 weeks now or maybe 4.
I’ve been studying all weekend for my state license test. I’m getting really nervous, I’m not a good test taker. There’s so much information I need to know. I’ve been doing practice tests for each section and haven’t passed one on the 1st try. Hopefully, I can find some time at work to study more. There’s a big portion that I don’t find interesting which makes it much harder to absorb. My boss tells me not to worry because if I fail, I can take it again and again but I need to get this behind me. All I can do is my best and see what happens.

Write the harder parts on flash cards and you can study them throughout the day.

Great work Pdebs. I know it’s been a rough couple of weeks or so for ya. You’re doing so well. You’re so strong. And that little girl deserves the best from you. No pressure there. Sorry. But she is just so dang cute. Keep up the great work. You’re doing it.

I’m guessing you’re not 16? Ha! 
Seriously, I hope you are proud. I’m also oddly grateful for this isolation thing - made it clearer to me something needed to change, and I think it made it easier too. I dunno. I’ve also told some pals. The thing is knowing who to inform vs who to actually confide in - at least it was for me. The most important thing to me was - and still is, in these early days - to not be challenged for not drinking, even by well meaning friends who couldn’t have imagined I had a problem.
Yer coming up on triple digits soon! One day at a time, of course 
Big congrats again!

Day 132.
Tired, happy, sober. That’s about all I got 'til tomorrow. Must go catch some zzz’s…
Oh, but so many milestones… congrats TS fam!
And @Clarity? your daughter is adorable. I’m not one for over-the-top holiday decorations (at least for me, but to each his own), but that kid is free to decorate my place any day! who doesn’t love a 3-eyed gingerbread man? Glad you are feeling better.
G’night all. Wishing you sound sleeps and happy wake ups.
