Day 13;
This weekend so far has been awesome.
When I separated with my Ex , my sons father , he had two boys , 10 & 13 , who I had taken on the mother role for , they both consider me and call me Momma, after our separation & just before Christmas he stopped allowing me to have the boys for the weekend , because of my drinking. Their biological mother was an alcoholic as well as an addict with other substances, so my drinking was a huge issue for him , which was one of the reasons things ended the way they did , it wasn’t the cause but it did not help the situation.
He knows I have become sober , and to be honest one of the main reasons I did was so I could continue to be their mother and have them in my life as well as their 3 year old brothers life and my 9 year old daughter. They are all very close and siblings , blood or not.
13 days sober , and he allowed them to come back every other weekend to my house , under some conditions of course. But I am very thankful that I am here and have my boys with me 
It’s usually chaos when they are here but it’s been so great & won’t ever go back.
Happy Saturday folks , here’s to many more days sober

Good on you Kat for acknowledging and committing to do something about the self care for your recovery slipping away! Complacency around recovery related things are always dangerous territory for me and it’s great you’re aware its happening. It’s all about progress not perfection so don’t be hard on yourself - life happens and you’re addressing it and nipping it in the bud!
Congrats on 192 days

…1422… I have been taking care of Ms. Monkey as she has been recovering from knee surgery. Obviously the normal day to day chores are on me. I really dont mind because we usually help each other. I have found out something about myself…I cannot shut cabinet doors. Lol, I mentioned it to her and she asked, “you just realized this”.

42 days without weighing self
4 days without purging
Dinner last night went well. I ate a little bit of everything in moderation but didnt stuff myself. No one made comments on my food or eating either which really helps (but obviously i cant control!) and now I have lunch at a pizza place today. Just going to do what I did last night and strive for moderate eating and listening to my fullness cues, no matter what I decide to eat. Pizza is definitely a bit of a Binge food so I have slight concerns. I’m going to try to focus on the company and the vibe of the room so I stay out of my own head and out of my eating disorder thought echo chamber.

I’m proud of you. Those are some really big steps and really difficult things to do. I have an eating disorder as well, I completely understand the way your disorder thoughts can overtake the situation. But you’re learning and that’s the most important thing

Day 610 clean and sober today. Had a client overdose in the main room last night but was able to be brought back. 6 doses of Narcan and CPR. Horrible thing to see, I had nightmares all night. Hope everyone has a great day today, love you guys a lot
