Seek support if you can Beth. Get together with some caring sober friends. Give your wallet to someone. Asking for help is ok

Few hours left of day 15, amazing skiing day,I did something challenging and felt really proud of myself after a 40 minute ski run!..fell over a few times but deep breaths and a couple of rests and made it to the bottom without taking skis off!..my kids were incredible for their day 2,we pushed them to push their boundaries amongst the youngest throwing her skis off and then with encouragement she totally smashed snow ploughs and went straight back up the hill!..gotta keep at it until we get it…
… soooo tired again,I’m thinking my body is still repairing the alcohol abuse ontop of hard exercise 
…was offered beer but declined without thinking…

Day 90… got there eventually! Not celebrating too much though as I’ve started trying to convince myself that it is time to go back to the crutch. Not sure why as life so much better now. There is a pub near my work which keeps is tempting me to pop in for a day time session - which would be the top of a very long and slippery slide into self-destruction. Determined to press on and not give in

That’s a great attitude Joy!
Great to read others moving on too, well done.
I have one thing to celebrate but struggled seriously with the other… Internal OCD / low level bipolar conflict is the mess I struggle with which seems to cause my relapses.
One day I will rediscover the joy of just being myself… no strings attached, no false expectations or negative mindsets

Sounds like u are having a real shitty time of it. Hugs. Dealing with all that at one time will take its toll. U are not a useless addition, none of us are. Maybe realising these feelings is the first step to dealing with them? Be strong, but also gentle with urself.

Well done on 90 days, that’s not a pub, it’s a prison. It’s not inviting its entrapment. stay well clear of it unless your 90 days are that worthless to you.

OK, NOW I can post the 4 months 
Sorry to anyone I confused earlier 
At the women’s AA meeting this morning, I did my first share. They were all very lovely. I can’t remember everything I said, but I made them laugh a few times. If only that had been my intention

Hey Mario, congrats on your 200 days!
I hope you are able to reconcile with your dad and find some love together… I resented my dad for his failings until someone challenged me to tell him how sorry I was for resenting him. It was always an uneasy relationship because I never sensed his love, appreciation or affirmation.
Thankfully I got closer to him in his final 3 years and grew to appreciate him and even admire him aged 89. He just didn’t know how to give affection or encouragement!
My mum destroyed her health sadly with nicotine and gin - tonic and died before she reached 60.
It’s a big challenge to forgive others and forgive ourselves too.
