Day 228. I worked this last weekend so tomorrow is a day off with a packed to do list. I get to have lunch with my sister and I am looking forward to that, the other errands not so much but Iāll feel better when they are done.
Iāve been feeling blah lately. I fall into the someday soon trap too often and feel like Iām in a waiting pattern before I make some positive well being changes.
My husband still drinks and this has caused some issues lately. Nothing dangerous or disastrous just a lack of connection and one very awful fight. I wonder about our connection now that Iām sober.
Keep fighting the good fight lovelies. Iām hoping for a sunnier disposition tomorrow.

Today my 16 year old had a very stressful day. She was emotional, stressed out and crying pretty much the whole day but I was patient and didnāt try to fix it It was really hard for me because I was frustrated and I really wanted to just tell her what to do because the answer seemed so simple to me. I really felt like she was exaggerating everything and making things a big deal when they werenāt, but of course thatās what happens when we have anxietyā¦ so I just tried to let her know that no matter what she would be okay. I let her talk about it and I just listened and she cried some more and I just let her cry. She came up with a plan and is feeling much better now. When she was going to bed she said she was sorry for being so stressed out today and I told her she did not have to apologize. I gave her a hug and she said to me āokay Mom, instead of saying sorry Iām going to say Thank you- Thank you for being there for me today.ā
This is the best feeling in the world Iām so glad I was able to do that and a lot of the reason is because of all of you. I can be more patient when I am not drinking and all of the posts and the mental health memes and inspirational quotes really do help me. I see the images and quotes in my mind that remind me of things that are so important so thank you all for sharing and being a part of this

Coffee. One day off, busy work week ahead after that. But thatās for tomorrow. Today I will keep my sobriety. Like I expect from all of you. Thatās why weāre here. One day at a time.
Have as good a day as you all can friends. I wonāt be doing much except for some homely stuff. But whatever youāll do, letās do it sober and clean. Love from my commute late last night.
@Sabrina80 Happy to see you Sabrina. Hope youāre OK

Day 2
I slept 9 hours last night, I think that was necessary. Today is a national holiday here so no work 
Going to inhale my first coffee and prepare breakfast. Iām going to make banana pancakes.
After that? I donāt know. Maybe some crocheting or just hanging on my couch watching movies. Both is fine.
Hey @Mno yes Iām okay

Day 115
Hey all, not been on for a few daysā¦
There was a party on Friday for a friend from way back, so itās one that I probably would have been expected at. I thought about it for a while but decided not to go. I let them know and they were cool about it. I video called another friend on Saturday afternoon to see if theyād had a good time and, no surprise, the party had carried on back at theirs. They were all drinking and drugging. If Iād gone I would probably have been there, too. Self care is saying no to things that could damage my sobriety so feeling good about making the right choice with no guilt. I did get urges to join in on the Saturday but they passed pretty quickly.
I decided to take all the tiles down in my kitchen. I have new ones and new worktops and sink and taps etcā¦ my fab brother is going to fit them for me. I have the money as I am not spaffing it all on booze and whatnot. Another thing to feel good about. I bought a digital piano with stand and stool off EBay and my daughter is going to collect it Tuesday and bring it to me Thursday. So excited for that. I have a space ready for it. I sold my old dinner set and kettle and toaster, have a kitchen dresser up for sale, so having a good clear out and re-organising.
I had a chat with a therapist this morning and am hoping to join an art therapy group soon. It will be on Saturday mornings so thatās another great step forwards.
Got new anti-psychotics as other ones werenāt very good. Iāve slept so well over the weekend. All in all a really great week, long may they continue. Off to the theatre tonight to watch a play about mental health. Should be interesting.
Really seeing improvements in energy, motivation, and focus lately.
Keep on keeping on x

Day 843. I am absolutely exhaustedā¦ I am not liking my new roommate at all, not the person he portrays to everyone at work when heās there. Very very different person. I have set multiple boundaries with this guy and heās just too much. I havenāt been sleeping well at all and thatās not good for me Iām so many ways. Up for work and itās going to be a long day today, love you guys
