Thank you Itās definitely enough now, and Iām staying here this time.
Iām going to check that Thread out with todayās morning coffee. The kids are on summer holiday, and Iām off work until August 14. Usually we only have 4 or 5 weeks but since Iām starting a new job Iāve got almost 6 weeks this year. And Iām already granted to stay at home with my boys during the school breaks and for next summer.
The good thing with living in a small farmers village and have close contact with your boss.
Checking in this morning,
to report sober head on pillow tonight.
Maintain focus on next 24 hours
Good try, Iām in one of the windows but alas thatās not me. Thatās a girl actually / , with her then boyfriend. Curious if they are still together
I hear you, there are always peaks and troughs, but you are doing brilliantly!
Day 1067
Have a long weekend this weekend. Going to do lots of grading so I donāt 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 doesnāt 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 āheavy happyā drinker, and I always enjoyed the excuse to drink with him, and havenāt 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 48ā¦
@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
Iām only meant to be doing 30 hours a week!
But getting through this stress without hitting the bottle makes me more determined.
Hope youāre all good - I love your personal touches in your comments
Iām here, Iām alive and Iām sober.
Sun is shining for almost the first time in two weeks.
Itās been raining almost my entire vacation. And itās going to rain tomorrow again.
It feels a little bit unfair because Iāve 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 wonāt let that drag me down,after rain comes sunshine, right?
Maybe a rainbow if itās sunshine and rain at the same time.
Or maybe even my favorite weather heavy thunderstorms with dark threatening clouds and electricity in the air.
Iām also planning a Roadtrip with my family, Me, My Husband and our boys. No one else. Iām determined that weāre going to have many great memories from this summer and I want to give the boys a vacation where they donāt have to deal with their drunk and toxic grandma.
I feel so bad for last week in Denmark. I should have known.
It didnāt just happen Amy. You work hard for it lady. Hope youāre proud. I am of you. Huge congrats.
432, checking in.
Congratulations on your 6 months youāre doing so good. Keep it up
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. Iām kinda mumbling not sure what else to really say much love.
You helped a fellow human being Mike. Thanks. And thanks for sharing your morning. Love to see the steady progress youāre making. Hugs.
I remember when you posted the first time you had to cook. Now look at you helping others. Thatās fantastic progress @anon53116147
Congratulations
Hey all, checking in on day 1125. I hope everybody has a good one!
Day 937,
Just checking in, worked on step 4 this morning. Getting the feeling I just might get to the point where I donāt regret the past nor shut the door on it. Itās part of this one version of me.
Have a nice day, ODAAT
