Love everything about this post!!! Brilliant 
Keep pushing through and love and prayers to you as well.
Iām okā¦ trying to keep my distance, but I think she feels guilty so she has been talking to me a lot. Of course no apology and I wonāt get one. She doesnāt seem to realize how often she insults me, itās just so toxic and wears on my self confidence. Iām just worn out. She moves out on April 4th, so I just have to do my best until then. Just disengage and know that peace will be here soon. Thanks for checking on me xx

Day 17 in the books! Todayās after work chores was cleaning the kitchen and doing dishes. Low key evening. Crazy how productive one can be if you get home 3-4 times earlier than before sobriety!

If youāre lurking, please come back. So many of us care deeply. Sorry if this is inappropriate, Iām just sad about it.

I hate to hear you are going through so much right now. Mad skills staying sober through all of that news. I am pulling for you Paul.

Day 312. This is my 3rd day with no meds. I tapered off a low dosage (10mg ) of Lexapro for about 2.5 months. The side effects are noticable, but not terrible. I feel some sudden fatigue, slight dizzyness at times, and the ābrian shiversā which are the most uncomfortable. It doesnāt hurt, but can be distracting. It feels my brain suddenly expands for a second. It would be a lot worse if I suddenly came off a higher dosage. Itās definitely better to taper off first than to suddenly stop with this kind of medication. Anyway, so far so good! Have a great sober day out there!

Day 10ā:heart: not much, but to get to those big numbers and to see those big changes and feel them, I have to be here first. So Iām happy 
I hope everyone had a great day my baby is still so sick, 9 days now, RSV. But today I was able to rush a shower for the first time in two days and vacuum the living room. I even got dinner done before hubs was home. Baby just wants to lay on me so these are big things lol.
He has slept so much today so Iām praying tomorrow heāll finally be on the up and up.
Iām grateful Iāve been here for him everyday and didnāt choose to drink at all and leave daddy to take care of him. He needs his momma

Day 465. Today went completely sideways. Between my headspace, events of the day (not on the forum), and the overall feeling of pressure, I got absolutely nothing done aside from daily tasks, and slowly started breaking down.
So the rest of today is damage control: take a break, and figure out how to meet my needs going forward. Consider what am I doing that is actually necessary, and what is just bonus. Refresh myself on my available coping skills. Try to weather out the rest of this emotional disturbance.
In theory, at least. Iām not the best at actually doing all that. But Iāll try.

But you DID get stuff done. Sometimes daily tasks are all that we can manage. Thatās enough. Donāt be too hard on yourself. I know how it feels when things seem to go sideways. But did they really? Sounds like a rough day overall so maybe give yourself a break? Maybe adjust expectations for what you can reasonably accomplish right now? Sounds like thatās the direction youāre headed. You really do have a lot on your plate at the moment from what I remember. Be gentle with yourself. This is not a sprintā¦ Itās a marathon.

Day 43 
Iām finding that Iām able to walk by the alcohol in the grocery store and just think to myself, āthatās not for me.ā Iām not sure when that happened, as I had been just plain old avoiding the aisle for a while. It was a neat realization.

Worse nights sleep yet which is why Iām awake at 5am.
Mostly because of the Mrs snoring which made me abandon bed and go to the sofa which Iām too tall to sleep on with any comfort.
Other than that, day 11.
To top it all weāve got a storm called Dennis, crappy weather again.
