Good try, I’m in one of the windows but alas that’s not me. That’s a girl actually :boy: / :girl:, with her then boyfriend. Curious if they are still together :thinking:

Day 1067

Have a long weekend this weekend. Going to do lots of grading so I don’t have lots to do right at the end of semester, and also meet friends at a park. Will also try to finish the story for my book club. My husband is currently off work, he quit one job, and his next one doesn’t start til August. So I have a house husband for a while. It was a bit of an adjustment for him to do things that it is assumed I will do, but the last couple of days he has stepped up. No thoughts of drinking, but the trip home will be a challenge. My step-probably-bio dad is a ā€˜heavy happy’ drinker, and I always enjoyed the excuse to drink with him, and haven’t been back since I quit. I guess I will also finally have chance to get a DNA test to find out for sure if I am biologically his daughter.

Day 48…
@JazzyS I finally managed to get to the gym! They sent my roster and I only have 3 days off until the end of the month, including today :sob:
I’m only meant to be doing 30 hours a week!
But getting through this stress without hitting the bottle makes me more determined.
Hope you’re all good - I love your personal touches in your comments

I’m here, I’m alive and I’m sober.
Sun is shining for almost the first time in two weeks.
It’s been raining almost my entire vacation. And it’s going to rain tomorrow again.
It feels a little bit unfair because I’ve worked 12 hour days,5 days a week in May and June with extremely warm and sunny days. I was hoping for an amazing and sunny Vacation.
Instead I got rain and a toxic Ma to deal with.

However I won’t let that drag me down,after rain comes sunshine, right?
Maybe a rainbow if it’s sunshine and rain at the same time.
Or maybe even my favorite weather heavy thunderstorms with dark threatening clouds and electricity in the air.

I’m also planning a Roadtrip with my family, Me, My Husband and our boys. No one else. I’m determined that we’re going to have many great memories from this summer and I want to give the boys a vacation where they don’t have to deal with their drunk and toxic grandma.

I feel so bad for last week in Denmark. I should have known.

Day 51, actually stayed up this morning. Did some sort of service work I guess, saw one of the guys was about to cook breakfast by his self and he was kinda clueless so I stepped in and just whipped the breakfast up quick. Looking forward to some camping next weekend with my girls. Excited to see where I placed on my placement test for college. Today will also be my second chest day at the gym along with some bicep and tricep, idk I always love doing two chest days a week. I’m kinda mumbling not sure what else to really say much love.

Day 937,

Just checking in, worked on step 4 this morning. Getting the feeling I just might get to the point where I don’t regret the past nor shut the door on it. It’s part of this one version of me.

Have a nice day, ODAAT :pray:

Day 16. Have to be careful about being on my phone too much in private places, dancing around bad searches, didn’t relapse, but i need to guard my thinking and not get overconfident at all times. Today will be a great day.
