@Girlinterrupted That is a shocking and upsetting revelation. A limited pity party sounds acceptable. Then, as u say, a plan. I am sure there are support groups whose advice and support would be helpful.
@JB.5280 Congratulations!

Day 228.
It warmed up a bit, maybe 10-15 degrees higher than the last week or two? About -20 to -25C (-5 to -13F) at one point today. Damn near felt like springā¦
These āspring-ishā temps, and the Friday of a long weekend. And I canāt stop smiling. Why? Bear with me: the first few sober long weekends, last spring/summer, were so, so shaky. Kept you all close by, all of the time. Then they got easier, confidence builds and there are more firsts: sober birthday, sober vacation, sober christmas, all during sober pandemic.
At some point, the sober part drops. Itās a long weekend. I hadnāt really thought of it as sober or notā¦
Because sober, my friends, is how we do things here, chez M! 
Andā¦ we just did another day. Letās go get another one tomorrow.
Gānight, beautiful people - big love to all.

- Had a very good day yesterday. Thanks to you all really. Coming here made me turn it around after a bad start. So a huge thank you to everybody here! All of you!
Back to work now. Thatās OK. Iāll be cycling in -10C so going to look for my long johns now. Have as good a weekend as you all can. Staying sober and clean is a good start. Love from Amsterdam where I got my dose of speedskating yesterday. It was glorious.
Congrats to everybody with or without milestones. Actually every day clean and sober is a milestone. Youāre all winners!

Checking in, day 100. I never would have thought, that I could reach triple digits. I definitely couldnāt have done it without you all. Thank you all for sharing your struggles, victories and everyday life, it helps tremendously.
I have a so different life now than before. I still donāt see any way out, but Iām much less fragile, most of the time Iām not looking for an escape but a solution. Iām starting to see a future for me and itās a really good motivation for not screwing it up by booze.
