I was at the dr. Because I work with small kids he wants to be sure its not whooping cough so I had my blood tested. Results Mon/Tue. My lungs are clean.

Twins got vaccines, eyes check, weight, length… All fine.

All day fighting with husband but this is kind of normal. I dont like this guy. I really don’t like him.

218 days sober
Today is a holiday here so I took work off to visit and go to friends for tea. At the start I wasn’t feeling very sociable but am glad I made myself go out anyways as I ended up having a good time and visit with friends. Unfortunately on the way home a lady I don’t know too well invited me in for tea. I was in a good mood so decided to drop in but it was terrible…inside they were drinking opium tea and the other guests were drunk. I always check my tea before drinking it because one time I was served tea and after taking a sip though it was a bit funky and found out after it was opium tea. Now I always check my tea…today I knew right away and was just trying to get out.

I mean it all ended well for me. I didn’t want to drink and never had interest in anything else. But I was disappointed that I went out not really wanting to, had a good time and then last minute decided to accept an invitation out of wanting to be kind but accidently ended up in an environment full of alcohol and drugs.
The important thing is I kept myself safe and that I feel good. Sometimes you just need to slap politeness in the face and do your own thing.

Update:

Wouldn’t you know it, my flight has been delayed. During the preflight check, the pilot found a sensor that was malfunctioning and needed fixed. We were escorted off of the plane to await repairs. It turns out that maintenence wasn’t able to resolve the issue and now we are waiting for a replacement aircraft to arrive. I’m choosing to remain at peace and just accept it for what it is knowing that it’s out of my control. The journey continues… soon haha :crossed_fingers:t5: TFLMS

Checking in! :wave:t2:
Tonight just a quick check-in! Working from home today was very productive! Sitting in my tidy and silent work room is not the same as in my office, which is actually a former water tank (hence no windows = no natural light), small, cramped, full with stuff, untidy, noisy and overcrowded! :roll_eyes: Tomorrow I’m working from home too, I finally decided! :sunglasses:
Had a long chat with my mom on the phone! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Checking in, sober as can be, 3 years next month. If I had not stopped drinking I think I migth have been dead now, for sure lost my kids. I lost a lot to drinking, I put my kids in a home they should not have been and I think my oldest kinda pays some price for it now, shes having a hard time with stuff and I blame my self.

I have recurrent depression one-two times a year. It have hit and this one is going to be a hard one I already can tell, with everything else going on. Im doing it sober, but ohh how I think it would be better drinking it over. Not going to, everthing else would be just so much worse.
