@Mindymoo @JennyH @BrianP I love watching Brits talk to each other. Because I learn something new every time I have to Google what the heck yāall are saying!
Good morning all!! Feeling better today than I have in a little while. Looking forward to the recovery picnic on Monday. I hope everyone has a great weekend.
Rise and shine on day 483. I have two doctors appointments today, a day off from work, and a tribute band concert. We have connections to free House of Blues tix. Slippery When Wet (Bon Jovi). When we went to see tribute Journey in May there was a drunk woman doing drunk dancingā¦until she fell. I cringed and remembered why drinking is really bad for me!
I hope I say this right, so I wonāt offend you; here goes. He doesnāt want you to change, because he wants to go on being the wild, irresponsible party hound. He wants his drinking buddy back. Youāre taking that away from him by bettering yourself. I strongly doubt you can change is mind about this. It doesnāt seem like heās ready to grow up. That said, itās probably for the positive that he wants to disentangle your finances. You wonāt be paying for his alcohol or the consequences that come with it. Keep your chin up, youāre doing great!
Day 749 clean and sober today. I hope everyone has a beautiful day today, love you guys!!!
Haha, that is so funny, thank you.
I feel the same way about reading all the Americans. Love how you say/write yāall. Just not a thing here.
Oh no, so sorry. That was definitely deliberate timing to ruin your weekend. I hope you are able to still enjoy it and make the most of your space. My Dad also had a stroke and the strain was enormous xx
Hey all, checking in on day 747. I hope everybody has a good one!
Checking in on day 26! One month slowly creeping up on me⦠Iām already at work so Iāll have to check back in later to catch up with everyone.
I hope everyone has a lovely day clean and sober
Checking in on day 63.
Yesterdayās check in has been deleted but I havenāt been notified as to why. Is it just a glitch with the site or did I say something inappropriate?
Day 11.
Tested positive for covid yesterday. I guess thatās a kind of silver lining to a booze habit, is not a lot of sicknesses can match the mental/physical ramifications of a real brutal hangover and alcohol withdrawal lmao.
Well, itās a good time to read books in isolation. If yāall got any immediate recommends please dm me or let me know!
Thanks guys, hope youāre all keeping happy and healthy!!
Congratulations as well on passing the 20 mark! I too am a little nervous, since last time I only made it to 22. So letās do this, and celebrate 30 together!!
No, Iām not Canadian, I was born in & live in the US. My company has a large Canadian presence, so I know when thereās a Holiday, our Canadian suppliers will be closed.
I hope you have/had an awesome day!
It has actually been a pretty darn good day! Iām very happy about the (slightly used) car that I am now leasing, being without a car for a while was a real drag.
The 30-day mark is not that far off, we can both do it!
8 months of freedom!! Woooooot!!!
Iām so very grateful to have found the resources and the strength and commitment to step away from the alcohol. 30 years of chasing the buzz, and finding myself being chased by addiction is over!!
I am so grateful to all the supports that can be found in this community.
Iām grateful for my supportive friends and family.
Iām 57 years old and I feel like a youngster with all this great sleep and clear mind. Thank you to everyone for the help.
And for those who are struggling, please keep at it. One day or hour at a time is what it takes. You are worth it and you deserve to be healthy and find peace. Go for it!
Congratulations to 10 sober days!
Happy sober Friday to you too Mary.
I love that one
Nice mug.
Congrats on 6 days.
We got your back this weekend if youāre willing.
Hi team. Checking in on the morning of 385. Happy July (belated for my Aussie/Kiwi/etc friends)! And a very Happy Canada Day to my awesome northern neighbors!
Having coffee and trying to build up the motivation to get a lot of work done today. Letās hope for the best.
Congratulations @Barbtarbox on double digits, and I wish you a speedy recovery from covid.
3 months @KellyKelly! Way to go!
Congratulations on 20 days @maxwell and @Daishippai!
Ugh, sorry @Mindymoo that this happened to you. I hope you have a fantastic weekend in spite of this rather unskillful act by your husband. I echo what others have mentioned here: it sounds like he feels threatened by your new growth. Wishing you strength.
8 months is fantastic @LAB! Keep it up!
Congratulations to 8 freaking months!
@Mindymoo Iāve been catching up, and Miranda, Iām so sorry youāre going through that. Markās right, he wants his drinking buddy back. Are your finances fairly equal, hopefully you make more. And will he be expecting you to pay for all the childrenās expenses and he wants his party money separate? I canāt even imagine the stress youāre going through. Iām glad youāre getting away for the weekend. You need a break. Stay strong my friend, weāre here for you!!
Iām listening to an audio book set in Australia by an Australian author and narrated byā¦you guessed itā¦an Australian. Iām in stitches over the expressions.
