@just_laura OOF that would be a lot to walk into after work. I’m sorry. Grateful that you are not letting it get under your skin and didn’t loose your shit. I wish I could say that things will change but most of the time I think we just have to change how we react to em. I’m glad you can see the positives of having him around and focus on them. Hope you are able to enjoy a relaxing Sunday 
@handoferis I’m glad that you muted the anonymous comments. We don’t know who is out there lurking and just poking at you just for the sake of trying to rile you up. You don’t need that in your life. Keep working your blog with whatever makes you happy. Glad you were able to have a good cry and an emotional release. Sometimes one this sets us off and then we are finally able to unload all the burden we have been carrying around. Hope you are doing better today.
@goku2019 So lovely to see you pop in – you have been missed. LOL – the app did get a face lift at the beginning of the year – I am still getting used to the changes. Happy belated birthday friend. I am so sorry for all that you have been going through for past month. I do think maybe counseling will be good for the two of you. Do you think that would be something you’d be interested in? Drinking and the dark negative thoughts are no answer and will only make matters worse. Try to find a positive outlet for yourself
@joyce19 Sorry for the difficult reach out that you are dealing with. I know some people (even family) can be hard to deal with and can be toxic to our growth. If you feel like this is leading towards the negative then I would advice on staying clear. You have to protect yourself. Sending hugs and love 
@mybeautifullife WOW that is awesome work on you should be proud. Don’t keep looking at your relapses but instead focus on your strength and sober time. You have learned that moderation is not for you. You have learned tools and tips to help you stay sober. You have support around you and we are here cheering you on. Keep up the amazing work and stacking up the days! Great work on your double digits 
@canadiangirl I know I leaned on sugar a lot at the beginning as my body was trying to get the missing sugar from all the alcohol consumption. It is a battle for sure. Wish you luck with your challenge. Check out the No More Added Sugar thread if you haven’t already – some great tips and support here to help you out.
@rockstar24777 It is a great reminder that the chemical inbalance can cause our depressive episodes and 100% need to be aware that it will all pass. Great to see you doing and feeling better. SO happy that you deleted the apps. I do think they are so harmful for one’s self esteem. I only tried to use briefly years ago and it did send me in a negative spiral. HAPPY Sunday friend – have a great day
@ccn31 YIPPEE Kara – way to go friend. So grateful that the dreams are not our reality. You are doing a fantastic job – keep it up
@TeaCosy It is a mystery for sure – grateful that you didn’t give in to the thoughts yesterday
@cr84 Thanks Cass Giving you love and hugs – Changing up living situations can be a hard adjustment. We will just need to make the best of it 
28 days is impressive work friend. Keep pushing through and know those cravings don’t last. You are stronger without the poison. Totally important to get back to your routines and have something to focus on. I am excited about celebrating your 30 days and many more milestones with you.
I’m so sorry love – It has to be a ongoing fear and that has to be overwhelming to deal with on a daily basis. Sending you love and hugs and I do hope that reaching out to your HP is helping to cope with these thoughts / feelings. Will work with you on staying in the present 
Checking in on Sunday morning
Slept well I think. Feel like I was knocked out when I did finally fall asleep. Woke up with chills and a fuzzy stuffy head. My sis just got to my parents place so hopefully I will get to see her for some time during her visit.
It was snowing this morning but doesn’t look like it will accumulate to much.
Just enjoying a nice cup of coffee (2nd now LOL) in bed while I catch up here… Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day – sending you all so much love
