Oh man, Michelle, thatās so unacceptable. Heās going to have to do something; why does she think itās ok to talk to an adult let alone anyone like that? No presents until you get an apology and a discussion of how to behave moving forward.

Tough stuff. But youāre tougher! Just because we are highly emotional humans doesnāt mean we canāt deal with these challenges sober, and youāre proving that to yourself. Iām proud of you! Hang in there and keep that communication going.

Sorry guys! I was weak again, Iād drank for 2 days. So much going on. People who are close to me are dying or suffer from a devastating cancer with small children involved. I know it was so much better to going thru this sober. And feel pretty bad about it. I put all of my loving energy in them to be there wholeheartedly, and when Iām alone again grab the bottle. So still not able to cope with this. Feels like Iām letting you down for some reason.
I do know I want to have a sober life and that is the best life for me and my loved ones. So will start soon again.
Wishing you a beautiful strong Christmas everyone! Hope you all are doing well!

@Hidden Glad to see u!
@Claire For me I handle abstinence, not drinking at all, much better than moderation. Although there are sometimes cravings, if I donāt pick up the first drink, I can do it. Trying to control myself after a drink or two is virtually impossible.
@Briella Congratulations on (nearly) 30 days. Milestones are often a bit underwhelming, and ur husband sure isnāt helping. But u are doing great!
@RosaCanDo I am so impressed by ur sober muscles! Using an alcohol u used to drink to cook and then put it away is great!
@Squirt That sounds very difficult. How old is the stepdaughter? Sounds like u are both suffering. Whatever happens, alcohol will only make things worse.
@anon60334405 Being civil to an ex is a very admirable thing. And ur girls will benefit from it.
@Olivia lol
@Sanuk My friend also had cancer, and a moderately disabled kid. I drank, even visited her in the hospital drunk. But I sobered up to be there at the end sober, and helped with the funeral. Sober is betterš.
@SoberGuyUSA Nearly at 888!

Had a great day. Said my prayers and did readings and gratitude. Got to visit my parents this morning, so awesome even though it was outside socially distanced. Went to visit and cook supper for the 15 in house clients, turned out great. Reading through hear and laying on the couch watching the NBA go raptors. God bless you all.

Day 88. After two very long days at work, I am now on winter break! I even managed to get myself to the grocery store on the way home tonight. Now Max and I can just chill out for a few days. Made Brussels sprouts and pancetta for dinner.
I hope everyone is doing well, and hopefully I can catch up on here over the next few days. Good night, yāall!
