Day 104

So glad to be sober! I was just thinking, what if I wasn’t? Awful. Not to dwell but sometimes I need to think about it.

Things seemed grey and futile, completely wrong, and new problems were always popping up like mushrooms. Not just life problems, the problems of the whole lifestyle.

So life felt like an unending crisis, and I drank to survive it. There was the straight-up obvious hungover stuff, like feeling sick, but then there was both the thinly and heavily-veiled garbage that only seemed to happen to me when I was drinking. In my mind, my drinking was a reaction not a cause.

For example, I once drank over this co-worker who liked to show up at my house with little warning, all dramatic and drunk. I did not like her at all. But did I let her in the house? Yes. Now I would not even think of opening the door! These awful people would just appear, wherever I went. And then there were the nice drinking buddies, who were cheerful and, of course, also had problems with these hats showing up at their houses. So we could complain about them, laugh, and drink! But no one considered like, not opening the door or calling the cops if trouble showed up. You just suffered. It was part of that lifestyle. Some kind of twisted long-suffering thing. You felt ‘sorry’ for the crying drunk because you were more of a non-crying, ‘stable’ drunk who made it to work every day, had great snacks and owned your own home. Ha! The bar sure was low.

Good morning friends! Today seems to be a beautiful day out. Going to hit the gym when my son gets on the bus. Then run 1 errand and then come home to work on my fondant toppers for the cupcakes I have to make. Will also do some cleaning up and some laundry. Thats about it! Hope everyone enjoys their day

Checking in on day 4. I feel good and slept well last night. I’m feeling a little sad and angry…. I guess sad and angry that I let myself get this way. But I don’t want to drink …. I just want to be normal and happy and that’s what I’m working on. Hope everyone has a good day

Had a meeting today in City Hall about the Dutch lessons, got some tests to do, some short note to make (write in few sentences about my hobby) and I qualified for the course! I will start next week already I’m happy cause it’s doable time-wise (Friday morning when kids are at school/playgroup) and I don’t have to pay for it. I’m really making some good changes in my life. Not only talking but taking actions All this things makes me feel better about myself.
Much love

168. All good, hormonal but good. My little sister is off to see Taylor Swift tonight in Liverpool, and it’s making me happy seeing her so happy. I don’t get it, but I’m glad for her.

Sorry to hear about mood. Hope your day turns out terrific! 135 days is amazing.

Checking in… 67 days days sober. My cravings have settled down a bit. I have company coming to stay with us for about a week, plus my hubby’s birthday and Father’s Day. My temptations will be tested in earnest over the next week but I’ll remain strong.

Day 146.
Had another long ride with lots of elevation gain, and sober hangout with my mountain bike group last night.

Hopefully the Oilers can come alive in the series tonight and solve the Panthers’ defence. I’ll tune into the 2nd period after daughter bath time and bed time.

Enjoy the rest of your sober day!
