Happy Motherā€™s Day to those celebrating today. One of the special benefits of being on this site is the multinational members. I was on an online sobriety board before and it seemed like everyone was from the US. There is nothing wrong with that, of course. I just appreciate the diversity.And was unaware the Mothers Day was different in Europe. Tunnel vision American. Sigh!

216 days no alcohol.
184 days no cocaine.
10 days no binge-eating.

Happy Motherā€™s Day to those celebrating. I met with my brother, his wife, and their daughter, to visit my mumā€™s grave and give her some flowers. It was so lovely to see my niece, sheā€™s a little chatterbox now bless her, she was only stringing a a couple of words together last time I saw her before Xmas, but itā€™s full sentences now! I then visited my step-mum to give her her gifts, which she seemed to appreciate, so that was nice too.

I then returned home and Iā€™ve been reading a book thatā€™s hopefully going to help me get in the right mindset for some serious decluttering next week. I think Iā€™m going to rent the storage space sooner so that I can start moving some stuff there that I definitely want to keep, to give me a bit more room for sorting through the rest of my stuff, and to make the process less stressful than trying to move it all in one day. I have picked up a mini-fridge to use while I stay at my dadā€™s, so thatā€™s a relief, it was a good price too :blush:

A genuinely nice day. I hope the same for you all :blue_heart:

Thank you.
Itā€™s a little sad too, my non existent butt wonā€™t look that awesome in a pair of mom jeans. But personally I prefer dress leggings or skirt leggings as soon as itā€™s warm enough anyway. And preppy is never out, so the skinny jeans fashion wonā€™t dissappear, neither the side part. And Iā€™m definitely going to use mine for fall/winter again. With boots and a cable knit. Just like usual. And Iā€™m sure you can keep dressing the way that makes you happy and comfortable to. Thatā€™s whatā€™s fashion and personal style is all about after all. :blush:

Mike said he was taking a break from TS. I didnā€™t see a particular reason. Or I missed it. But he did say he was taking a break.

Keep on getting better man. Your attitude is incredible.

@Singtone I could not agree more. I definitely feel like an adult for the first time in a long time. And I also really, really, really regret the time spent drinking. Where would my career be? How much less damage would I have done my children? How much better would my relationship be with my husband? Jeez, I could drive myself nuts (or back to the drink) with these thoughts.

@Complicatedmama Little cutie munchkins!

@Clarity Pretty number!

@Sunny11 Congratulations on 7 months!

@Nordique 3/4 of a year! Great job!

@Soundlab LOL!
