Reading this over to myself i can see now how foolish of an excuse this was to use. I’m not gonna get down on myself. I’m just slowly seeing why my kids mom won full custody every slip up. Sorry for venting out my problems to everyone. I’m a shitty dad I hate that I let my addictions get the better of me

Checking in on day 8. I’m starting to feel a little better each day. Waking up gets easier, my moods are easier to control, I don’t get so upset over little annoyances or inconveniences, I just feel happier over all. I’m working on my eating but not freaking out because I always have a hard time for the first 10 days or so. I know what to expect after a relapse. I’m just going to take it OODAT. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

Day 63: Feeling better this morning. Hubby commented on how the pain clearly wears on me because I pass out early like I’ve been drinking and that smarted a bit. Can’t change the past. But mornings are good and we are headed to the farmers market this morning for the first time since prepandemic. Eric is going to wash my hair for me later, which I cannot wait for much longer and I might need to tape on a plastic bag so I can actually get a shower. Feeling pretty grimy. Then, we are headed to our friends’ place so eric can use their garage and change out struts and shocks on his car. I get to just hang out, will be fun. Happy Saturday! Remember, booze doesn’t make fun it destroys it. Oh! And Eric’s dry July is going great! Im one happy lady. Here is the chalk art we both drew on his formerly “brew board” (he brews beer) He did the white outline and I did the color.

16 days today. Had a weak moment yesterday, thought about it and decided to wait one more day…urge is gone now. Guess that happens. I don’t know why. I really don’t want to go back drinking. Wife was trashed again. Maybe I was just feeling lonely and thought I’d join her for a couple. Went for another long walk instead to clear my head. Got in 13,000+ steps yesterday including my 30 min of intense cardio. Heading back to the gym now. Maybe I’ll upgrade to the black card at planet fitness and treat myself to the massage table and enter a chance to win the $500 giveaway. After all…I deserve to treat myself … with something other than alcohol.

Not been on here much the last week because I’ve been enjoying a little holiday.
I managed to do it without a single drop so its day 48 for me. First holiday since childhood without alcohol. And no single part of me missed it.
Spent this morning doing my garden. Now it’s an ice lolly and a dip in the kids pool! Its scorching 
Have a good one folks

Day 36 here. Enjoying coffee and listening to the birds singing on a sunny hangover-free Saturday morning. My challenge is to try to maintain a sense of peace throughout the weekend, which can sometimes be chaotic with young children.
Hey, @Rockstar24777! Congratulations on 400 days, man! You’re killing it!

Checking in.
Humility seems to be a reoccurring topic in my recovery literature these last couple of weeks. It is being drilled in my head the definition of humility. What is humility???
For me it’s being able to be so centered within myself that I am able to put myself to the side and make way for others. When my Ego is in check neither over inflated nor deflated begging for all of my attention. When I feel equal to all, I am on an even playing field. Humility is what I need to attain in my recovery. Humility, true humility is not easily attained by an addict who has been living a life so self centered. I believe it is possible though, and I am willing to put the work in to get there.
Congrats on your days.
