Very well done! Life is too short to interact with that type of behavior. Very good and honest boundary made.

No I was gonna do a rental car. But a friend offered to go and save me some money and her and her brother wanted to see Gettysburg and get their Civil War on, so we went together,
And tomorrow I have to go to the Virginia DMV to get my Va one,
So we made a day of it took them to the battlegrounds and the historic areas of Gettysburg, so it was decent day after all
But on the way back she wanted to eat so asked if I could drive I was much obliged had fun. 15 minutes of my time converted into a day of fun.

Getting there. Feeling stronger every day. Wife now wants to quit which would be a blessing. She sees how much better I feel and how much energy I have now. Fingers crossed.

Yes!! Tell that lady like it is! 
Proud if you.
When someone talks crap about my kid I take it soooo personal and instantly don’t like them. Like you said, they are the most important people to us! People who don’t have kids don’t understand.

Checking in at the end of day 231.
Had a beautiful day with the family today. A great meal at lunch where everyone pitched in and did their bit, and then a family movie in the late afternoon/early evening. An evening then spent excitedly/apprehensively getting school uniforms and lunch boxes ready for a first day back at school tomorrow.
Off to bed now for a sleepless night of staring at the ceiling for a few hours and then a few stress dreams when I do finally drop off. They usually consist of me completely forgetting how to teach, or having an unruly class who are paying no attention to me whatsoever…and then I look down and realise that I have no trousers on.
Looking forward to it.
Maybe it won’t happen tonight. I’ve never actually done this sober. 
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight.

She woke up feeling better! I scheduled her a COVID test at 12, just to be sure.
Thanks for asking! She has been sick with a fever since yesterday afternoon but it got worse last night.
Thanks for all the love and prayers.

It’s so cool that you’re reading that. What are the odds? 
My character would be called Hope, and would embody truth, calmness, kindness & hope.
I would be able to levitate and radiate this onto others, individually or to crowds of any size …. with the additional skills of time travel, invisibility, and mind reading!!
I’d also be the Marvel characters therapist 
Not as articulate, but I hope you get the gist. 
Hey @AyBee, you’re creative, right? (see Mel’s post) ……

Death. Sweet laboratory manufactured death. 
but at least I will die from fake sugar rather than in a penitentiary for killing someone for their Snickers.

Congrats on your 3 weeks Rob.
And you’re getting to that first month of ODAATs. That’s huge! The addicted brain is roaring.
Have you heard of HALT?
Know what’s really going on this week.
(And every week.)
Are you:
Hungry? Eat
Angry? Talk about it.
Lonely? Reach out to someone
Tired? Rest.
Knowing, I’m not drinking to day! And I’m probably not drinking tomorrow. Helps me get through my days.
