Ouch. I’m sorry it all went down that way.
I know 76 days is a long time to be cut off, but in the whole scheme of things, he just may need more time. And some sign that it won’t get to that again. Time in sobriety can help rebuild trust.

Another sober day ahead with the Grace of God.
I have Life today only because of God and AA and the 12 steps.
Which when I say AA and the 12 steps I mean the People in the rooms of recovery
that have walked on this journey with me and gave me the simple instructions of how it works.
What a Blessing, the program has given me.
I would be just another statistic without Wakan Tanka and People in recovery.
But when this Alky Surrenders to the Creator of the Universe and walks in “Infinite Love and Power” as the Big Book says, great things lay ahead.
How else can an Alky like me Live a Life sober for over 37 yrs. ???
So all I can do is keep Living in the miracle laid out in front of me for my final days on this Earth with as much Heart as I can. 
What a joy this sober Life has been,I’ve been gifted Life and Love Beyond anything I could imagined.
Gratitude and Thanksgiving will be my meditation and action for this Day.
Aho Mitakuye Oyasin
Have a Great Day Y’all
PEACE

3 hours left to 7 days. Sunday afternoon is the most difficult time. Time to drink alone. Now, while writing it down, I can see how terrible this is. That means starting the week with a hangover. Losing precious time. Wasting energy.
Till yesterday I had doubts about if I really can make it. If I want to. And you know, why not, it’s Sunday, I will enjoy my day off.
But this morning I woke up, I was and still I am sure, today I won’t drink.
One step at the time. I am prepared. I made already a list of things I will do today. Knitting is one of them. I am knitting a pullover. It is wonderful, I really like it. It’s keeping me busy and let me calm down.
It’s not the only thing, but I have my knitting here, close to me, as my master plan B.
Thank you all for being here!

It is! We have 2 iridescent sharks. We have other sharks too but they arent as big. 2 bala sharks, an albino shark, a red finned shark, red tail shark, 2.red line sharks, another one I cant remember lol. The iridescent sharks are about 8 inches long or so (hard to tell in the tank lol). They are big tho!

I absolutely need this is in my life 
i definitly try to find some compassion and love for myself but i think those actions only go so deep (if that makes sense). I guess what im trying to say is that this compassion and love for myself only goes to a certain level. Deep down inside im struggling with that still. I need to somehow get there lol i think i might do some research on how to feel compassion and love for myself. Like a book or something. Thank you Menno for your kind words. I always appreciate you and look up to you and your recovery 
hope ur having a great day!

Let me know what you find, Dana. I’m thinking if I find love and compassion for myself I will be kinder to others. I’m sure there are resources on this forum. Some word searches are in order, i guess.
