Oh wow, Congrats! One of my best sober buddies had the gift of a granddaughter for the new year as well. Let this inspire you to be their best grandma by being sober.
@Miranda Congrats. 4 months. Magic time!
@Mno I so love your check in posts. I’m repeating myself, I know. The pictures look almost like they’ve been painted. So interesting.
So grateful to be on this journey with you all. More of the same for me in 2023 please! It was a great year.

Yay! They say grandkids are better than kids because you get to give them back when you get tired (tongue in cheek).

Day 873
Real mixed bag, this first day of 2023. It started awful, my husband and I got into a fight around midnight, I went to the shrine alone, and when I came back the kids were upset. The fight escalated, and I had a meltdown, basically. I finally slept and today he actually seemed interested in my feelings and mental state, rather than them just being a burden to him. In that he asked some questions and listened to the answers rather than just fobbing me off with ‘shogainai’. I hate that he doesn’t seem to treat my feelings as important until utter breakpoint.
Then today I made some decent food choices, and joined a women’s only Japan meeting to get the ball rolling on getting a local sponsor. So that feels like progress.
At the shrine for New Years, I threw 3 coins in, one for me and one for each kid (rather pettily, not one for husband) and said the serenity prayer. Seriously right now, I need some bloody serenity, some goddamn courage and some fucking wisdom.

I’m sorry you had a horrible time and meltdown! I’m glad that he at least is recognizing you after that though even though it sucks that it had to go so far before he did. You’re a badass and I’m really proud of you!

Day 933 clean and sober. Been up since 2:30am. Was waking up every hour during the night and it sucks. I think I know what I need to change though so today’s another day. Happy New Year to everyone, may it be fucking awesome. Love you guys

So pleased that your housing assistance is sorted! What a relief. Well done for facing it and getting it done.
I don’t think grieving the loss of an activity that brings you light is insignificant. I hope in time you can find some joy in the ‘participation trophy’.
