Good morning 
Checking in with 400 days sober.
I been trying to think of something fun and witty or or some kind of gif or meme to put down but I got nothing.
So Iām just gonna have a great fucking sober day. And yāall know Iām not drinking today! And Iām probably not drinking tomorrow.
We need only deal with the problems and joys of today. If we try to see too far ahead, we lose touch with the reality of the here and now. The Lord lets us know what we need to know when we need to know it.
Sober on friends

This is an internal struggle of mine too, Rosa. Being a perfectionist is something Iāve needed a lot of help letting go of. Along with some codependency, of course. Iāve really had to rearrange my f#ck budget.

I experience this exact thing all the time. Like you, I never actually want to drink but itās crazy how many emotions cause my first instinct to be āWell this is a good reason to drinkā
It really has become engrained in our brains as a coping mechanism, for good and bad times.
@Dazercat

Itās a big boat. At 61 I still struggle with, notso much everyone liking me. But the conflict thing. resonates really well. And I always think what if I upset this person by what I said or wrote. Like Iām responsible for someone elseās feelings about me. It must be some magic power I have.

And that perfectionist thing is a bitch. Things are not always black and white. Thereās lots of grays and colors in between.
One of my favorite memes was.

Iām so sorry you and your brother and your sisters are going through this.
When our children put us through this Alanon saved my life. And Alanon is still saving my life.
Addiction is so fucking hard to deal with when itās a loved one. But there is help for us out there.
Iāll pray for you and your siblings.

Not in the best place today. Taking the better part of the day off work. I have a meeting later and an invoice to whip up and thatās all Iām willing to do. This whole thing with my daughter and ex-husband and his wife has me pretty fucked up.
