Taking a work break and just checking in. Things are going well. The twins are in school and I am working from home. I have an online meeting with a college planner this afternoon, so hopefully that will answer some questions and provide some direction in my college search for my son. Nothing much else today.

Checking in! 
Iāve just come home from a company dinner. Our boss every summer invites us to a BQQ at our job. Itās a kind gesture, but for me it makes me feel very uncomfortable. It means that I have to socialize (not my strength), and this year I think I was the only one at the table with water. I was asked several times if I wanted a drink, which I declined.
But what made me feel most sad is that we have a trainee of 16 years. He was drinking one beer after the other, and after dinner he chose a gin lemon, and sipping on someoneās Whiskey (just āto try itā). Everyone was cheering him on, and making jokes about how cool he was. Obviously I didnāt say anything, cause I didnāt want to be the party pooper, but I was the first one to leave, relieved that I got over this event yet another year! 
Somehow I got home feeling uneasy. Tomorrow I get up early, so Iām off to bed!

177th day sober check in.
Great AA meeting today. I am so close to 6 months every one knows my excitement and are so supportive. Also spoke with an 82 year old sober for 5 years married 65 and has a husband with a personality very much like my hubby. We shared some commonalities which is so very rewarding. Spouse will be walking through door anytime now. Most chores complete and hopefully he is not so disappointed in my effort.
I know what I have accomplished and my discipline is improving so very much sober. I should not let him get under my skinā¦ I am working and praying to remove this defect from me. Self preservation of my self esteem is important.
I have been recognizing even though I was a functioning alcoholic I was not all I could be, drunk. How could I be? The new and improved me So Sober and happy is a benefit and reward for my diligence to remain alcohol free.
Obviously I cannot spend as much time here when I am engaged in being the best wife I can beā¦ but I will check in when I canā¦
Thank you to all of you. I am so appreciative for all you do for me.

@lisa_lou_who Congratulations 
.
I got terrible coldsores in my latter drinking days. Every 3 months or so, up to 1 cm in diameter and took ages to go away. Since I quit, I have had two I think (over 4 years) and they are much smaller and faster to heal.
@Thirdmonkey Congratulations on 100 days tobacco free! 
And how wonderful to be so busy. It is amazing what you can do when you are not drinking.
@Refreshedperspective Well done on 60 days. Sending wisdom and peace about your relationship. 
@Butterflymoonwoman Hope your speech goes well! 
@SussexGuy Congratulations

@deelzebub Big hugs friend. I can imagine a lot of emotions being drudged up and it canāt be an easy conversation. You are right ā alcohol would only make things worse and harder to deal with. 
@mrmoustache WOW ā I love the attitude and the 45 days. Sorry the BS is whispering in your ear ā tell it to Piss Offā¦ you are so much better without that garbage. Keep strong and working your recovery
@catmanca Thank you friend. Oh man I am sorry that the book is triggering these dreams. Grateful that you are not affected by them. So glad you are getting your nerve up to go to the gym / swim ā hoping you are able to do so my friend 
@lisa_lou_who Way to go ā double digits is awesome. Glad you maintained your sobriety through the stressful times. Drinking only causes more problems and issues ā keep pushing forward :mucle:
@thirdmonkey Woohoo ātriple digits no smoking! That is fantastic Scott. Way to go friend ākeep living a full life and stacking up the days
@sadmemequeen How are you doing Megan?
Oh this is beautiful Sophia 
So happy for your son and his ability to make the situation work for him
@refreshedperspective Way to go with your 2 months 
Sorry to hear about your relationship struggles. I do hope that you are able to figure it out before hitting the breaking point. Drinking will most definitely not provide any solutions. Keep strong
@sussexguy Nicely done with your sobriety ā triple digits and crushing it ā grateful that you are doing so well and look forward to celebrating 6 months with you next
@bomdhil YES! 1 month and excelling Thomas ā love that you awarded yourself with a book ooh- I hope the white powder helps ā they need to leave your home immediately
You are awesome my friend. You have to do what is best for you ā we would love to still see you pop in on the threads as your voice and support is so beautiful in this community. Really excited to celebrate 6 months with you son :people_huggin:
Checking in Thursday night
610 days free of alcohol and weed
1025 days free of cigarettes
Not much to report. I did manage a long walk around town - slow pace but got a good 4+ miles in. Binge watched a new show One Day in two days time and my goodness it was heartbreaking. Was told it would be a beautiful love story ā which i guess it kinda was.
I am super exhausted so gonna try to sleep.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening - sending you all so much love
