I get you in ways. I’m also the oldest kid in a dysfunctional family. The things we do, the responsibility we shoulder…

VENT!!!
I debated with myself whether I’m fit to work today or not. I’m really not but went in anyway, not for brownie points but out of spite towards myself.
I’m angry that I can’t sleep. I find it unfair that no matter how desperate I get, I don’t seem to be able to effect my insomnia much. Have I tried? -Yes. Have I read self help leaflets and sought professional help? -yes.
I was so frustrated and pissed off about this whole fucking thing that I wanted to go to the woods scream my head off. Might do that later on.
VENT OVER

Good morning all,
Here is the start of day 13. I’m proud to say I made it thru the first evening that was a bit of a challenge for me.
My husband and I typically have several nights a week of enjoying drinks and cooking and good food and music. He was well on his way when I got home last night.
I’m not gonna lie, I was thinking about it.
And here is what I did instead…
Popped into a relaxing warm shower, put on comfy clothes, and poured a big glass of sparkling water with lemon.
I enjoyed the cooking and the delicious food and the music. Once I had the first few sips of the pretty water, I was fine! Yay!!!
I’m pretty pleased because I have a few very busy days ahead of me in my school and I deserve to be clear headed, well rested, and at peace with myself as the crazy world goes on around me.
I have dozens of students who are eagerly working as hard as they can to learn English every day in these first months of their lives in the USA. I’m finding this teaching job to be important enough to take better care of myself. Finally, after 35 years in public education, I’m not self medicating every night. Finally.
Thank you to all of you who share your journey. I wish you peace and happiness!!

Hit this little gem the other day. Had my first trigger the other day about wanting to drink. Christmas music did it?!?! Strange and so random I know. But we won that battle and stayed strong and true. LFG. Living that best AF life.

Wow inspired by all the great sober time on here this morning! Kat here checking in on Day 98 almost at triple digits!
Things are good at the direction of my sponsor I chose a NA homegroup last night and hope to start doing service there starting with helping set up, greeting people and chairing meetings.
I do have a bit of a challenge coming up this weekend, two second cousins from the UK are coming to meet at a hotel in Niagara Falls for a couple of nights and I am sharing a room with my parents.
The one cousin loves to drink so I will have to be on my guard. I will tell him I don’t do that and how important it is to me and hopefully he will respect that. My Mum and Dad know all about my illness as well so they will be watching for danger. I have my sponsor available on phone and text. I am proud of my 98 days and do NOT want to start over.
