@acromouse you are so right. Itās so interesting to watch how others change as the effects of alcohol takes its grip. I will say in past times I would have drank 2-3 times quicker with a higher volume of booze than my sister so I wouldāve become much more drunk & messy and in fairness I probably wouldāve pissed my sister off but last night I wasnāt drinking so I was able to track the progress of her change in mood.
Day 163
Stayed with my sister last night, her & her boyfriend got very drunk. I stayed sober ODAAT.
Woke up 10am after a late night & had breakfast with my nephews. My sister got up hungover at 12:30 crawled out of bed, her bf was barely able to get out of bed to say goodbye to me before I left to travel back home.
Currently on a 2 hour bus trip crocheting & feeling wide awake. So many bus trips in my past were I felt I was going to die from being hungover.
I absolutely love the sober life.
Hope youāre all having an amazing sober Sunday

Iām getting ready to sell my old SUV. Itās been quite the family car and has gone on a lot of adventures. I decided to sell it when Insurance wanted $1277 for 6 months to barely drive it and basically just have it parked in the garage. No way I can justify that. So I have someone coming to take a look at it tomorrow. He was interested in buying it back in October and I decided I wasnāt ready. Heās out of town and Iām saving it for him to get first look even though I have had people ready to come with cash on hand this weekend to buy it.
The twins are out of school now. I need to go grocery shopping today so there will be a lot of food in the fridge for them when Iām at work. That and my womenās meeting at noon today, and getting the downstairs tidied up, will be a full day.
I had a good therapy session last Thursday. I am going to follow it up with another session in two weeks - I usually go 4 weeks in between sessions.

Had a big craving last nightā¦ smelled my husbandās alcoholic drink and āknewā it would hit the spot. But I didnāt give in. I ate a little bit of chocolate and continued with my sparkling water. Craving passed within an hour. Went to bed sober and woke up feeling so peaceful.

Sunday afternoon sober check in during my daughterās nap time. Weāve had a nice breakfast, some playtime, walked to run some errands, Iāve spent wayyy too much time doing dishes, and now I get a bit of a break.
So great that since I have to get up early every day that Iām never hungover any more.

you are approaching a big milestone, donāt let the wine cravings steal that from you

There was very little productivity from me this weekend. I only got 2hrs sleep on Friday night, well Saturday early AM, I tried over and over again, repeatedly walking into the kitchen on Saturday to make a start, but it just didnāt happen. All I managed to do was break down the empty boxes of cat food that had piled up, and take the rubbish and recycling out to the bins.
I emailed the (current) therapistās manager late Friday afternoon asking if I could continue my Monday sessions until I start with the psychiatrist. I feel like itās going to be too late notice to have a session tomorrow but Iām going to text the manager (who Iāve been emailing) first thing to ask the question anyway, I may also call the admin team if I donāt hear back. I also might just turn up for my session as we did leave it vaguely open last week, so thereās still a chance she may be expecting me and it wouldnāt be a wasted effort if sheās not there, as it would still get me showered and out doing some steps. I could really use a session rn though so I can only hope.
Iāve also emailed the gym this weekend explaining why Iām struggling to return (an incident in the changing room 3 years ago) Iāve asked if they have any gender neutral changing facilities too. Will see if I hear back.
I attended the Survivorās support group Saturday morning, which was okay, the first hour went fast but the second seemed to drag on a bit. 2hrs is a long time for me to sit still and do the same thing for. Always glad that I went though.
Today I was supposed to be going to my Auntieās to see my cousin and her family who were down here visiting, I only get to see them once or twice a year if that. My brother and his family were going too, but my messed up brain wouldnāt let me shower, no matter how much I wanted to be there and to see my nieces! So I had to send my apologies. 
Iāve had a really bad mental health day because of it. Iāve managed to make myself feel slightly better by watching some TV this evening. I also did 7 meditations throughout the day.
I hope youāve all had wonderful sober weekends.

Cam, I so feel for you. I hope you end up getting the help from the psychiatrist or whatever it is youāre seeking. It all sounds exhausting. Iāve been here for a while, you have too, and I have seen you make some big changes and improvements. I just wish there was something that could be done to help you. Iām here with you, for what itās worth, and am proud of you for continuing to push through things.
