Day 1445
Had a pleasant day, some bits of cleaning and washing and helping the kids pack for their karate camp. My son has grown so much since last year, many of his shorts are too small, so we looked in my husbandās clothes and there were some whiskey-mixer cans that he has hidden from me. It is my 4 year AF anniversary in a couple of weeks. I just feel so completely stuck in my husbandās opinion of me. I would be less annoyed if he didnāt complain when I bring up his poor behaviour in the past, and more recent than 4 years for sure. It just really soured my mood. I understand give it time, and so on, but 4 years is quite a lot of time.

Day 147
Good morning. Loving my new direction this week. Iām finally ready to start re-joining regular life, and have waded in up to my ankles. Always with the option to RUN. 
Last night I went to another local event that was overly attended. Food trucks, booze trucks, music. It was quite hot. Stood in line for an hour for food. Got to chat with random neighbors. Some drinking around me but the heat kept everyone subdued. Didnāt stay long as my air conditioning was beckoning.
So glad I went! I can function now without alcohol in regular, daily life. I wonāt seek out drinkers or drinking events, but I donāt want to hide either. What hits me is the smell! I could smell booze at 20 yards strongly. Did my nose change? Did it always smell so awful? The cheap margaritas especially reeked of 
Today I will be wrapping up design mods to my front yard landscape plan. Time to get rolling for Fall. The past two summers have decimated my landscape. Replacing dozens of plants and shrubs. Did some myself already as I canāt live without rosemary 
. But I need help with xeriscaping. Hard scapes and such. Capping off sprinkler heads for my new extended planting beds. Drip irrigation . I have 2 big beautiful trees that are shading everything. But itās Texas, they are staying! Itās the grass that has to go. Iām going with native plants and flowers. And some crushed granite paths and paver stones. Stuff like that. Excited. And will be so much easier to water and maintain. I love being sober. Itās only going to get better from here!
Enjoy your day

Checking in day 130. My wife has gone to hospital tonight for the 4th time in the last few weeks due to high blood pressure. Our baby is planned for next Sunday the 4th but it could be earlier if things keep up this way!
I feel bad for my wife but know that she is more comfortable getting the care there instead of being anxious about it at home.
We booked in to go to a seminar about child education from 0-5 years tomorrow. Itās meant for teachers and early childhood educators but we wanted to go ourselves as parents for our own education. My wife still wants me to go.
We were also meant to go to a friendās house warming tomorrow night, just a few of us friends that havenāt seen each other for a few months. I was really looking forward to the catch up so hopefully we can still go to that.
Iām taking the time to recognise that this is all a lot right now and considering my little menty-b last week, Iāll need to remain mindfull and take time to myself where I can.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

113 days sober
Iāve really been struggling today. Cravings have been bad and Iām feeling like an emotional mess. I came so close to drinking today. I mean really close. I bought vodka and poured it into a cup then just looked at it pathetically. Then it was like the sense got knocked into me and I threw it out. I called my friend and told her what happened. Iām so glad I didnāt drink it but Iām afraid about how close I came.
I hate this addiction. I drink to numb my feelings and I hate that I feel like I need that.

Iām glad you made it through this one. Next time you get this strong an urge try something else instead of getting booze and pouring yourself a drink. Coming here and talking about the craving might help. Calling your friend before you buy a bottle might help. Joining an (online) meeting of any denomination might help. Something else might help. This is not going to end well when you keep going like this friend. Think of alternatives. Write them down. Pin them on your wall or mirror. Iām glad youāre here. Iām gladder youāre sober. Hugs.

I feel disappointed in myself for not doing these things first. Writing a plan is a good idea. I will do this tomorrow. Iām scared at how close I came to drinking today and donāt want to let myself get to that point again. Iāve been working hard on myself and donāt want to go backwards. Thanks for the advice and support.

You made it through though, and you made the right decision in the end. You didnāt give in. This is hard stuff. Be proud. I am of you.
