Day 99. Max is supposed to be resting because of some issues with his collapsing trachea medication not working very well, but the sun is out, and he just keeps staring at me, waiting to go to the dog park. Sorry, buddy. Not today. I’m supposed to have late lunch with my brother, which I’m really looking forward to. We haven’t seen each other in about four months. I’m also mentally gearing up to go back to work tomorrow morning.
@Beachy and @Briella, congratulations on 40 days! Well done, y’all!
@FeelingBetter, I’m sorry your sleep is still troubling you, but congratulations on 50 days! You’re doing great, even if you’re a bit sleep deprived.
@Charlie_C, woohoo! 50 days! I hope you have a great sober Sunday.
@Bears515054, one week down! Excellent. I know things feel weird right now, but it will pass.
Good morning everyone, thank you all for the love. I’m never good at going through And personally thanking you bc well I just can’t remember everyone to tag them. But I appreciate you all,and for listen to my pitty stories and just always being here.
Thank you Graham. I do prefer Piglet
I reckon it’s Help and Be Helped. I’m glad your here.
And thank you to the lovely lady down under @Joy who casually mentioned to me “I’ll do everything I can to protect my sobriety” or you said something like that.
@RyanSA I feel you my friend. I once had 18 months and didn’t know I could never drink again, big mistake bc it just got worse and worse and worse until I thought the same as you. So yep your right you will never win this battle, you can never drink and be happy so stop fighting and surrender. I had to admit alcohol had me beat, I was never going to be able to control it or be a successful and safe drinker. Why would I pick up if I knew nothing good was ever going to come from it.
Alcohol you win, I’m fed up fighting so I’m walking away.
Made it home safe last night and woke up this morning with mild sinus pressure and an earache. I’m glad these symptoms are mild and I’m not nursing a hangover to go with. Hanging out and waiting at the airport yesterday brought up a lot of old drinking memories. I probably saved $50+ not drinking at the airport or on the plane. I can now unpack and have a productive day with my kiddos. Hope everyone has an awesome Sunday!
Checking in still pretty emotionally drained from yesterday but in a great way. Sorry to be saying thanks again everyone. I’m just the sensitive emotional sap in my family. I embrace that now.
Here’s a quote to share with you all from one of my favorite people.
Dad, whether or not you had a problem with alcohol isn’t as important as how you feel today on this journey!
My daughter.
Hugs to you girlfriend. I totally feel you and pray that’s a decision you don’t have to make come Easter. I too have had some struggles with my stepdaughter and have contemplated starting a thread to vent and share stories if nothing else to get it out and not feel alone. If you ever need an ear, please know I’m here.
Day 3 here. First go round of quitting doc alcohol. Turning 40 in 19 days. Praying for strength. I never craved alcohol in the mornings before, but since giving it up, it’s all I can think about. I want this feeling to go away. I hate what I’ve become.
@MrsOdh sending strength, after working in children’s homes for a decade, I can relate to how stressed you sound, your husband needs to be a firm with the boundaries as you so she doesn’t get mixed messages. @LynnM Welcome and congrats on double digits @Fury Sorry to hear that @Beachy congrats on 40 days @FeelingBetter congrats on 50 days @anon60334405 congrats on 11 months @Briella congrats on 40 days @Charlie_C congrats on 50 days @bears515054 congrats on your week @Mbwoman congrats on 50 days
Migraine and allergies today. Eyes are streaming and stinging. Lots of meditation today, days like this I wish I could nap. Still grateful that the restlessness seems to have passed though, and tomorrow is a new day
