Good morning friends! Day 11 for me! We arrived back home in Florida (from our Denver Christmas vacation with family) late last night. I should still be sleeping, but our cats are very serious about their schedule 
This is where the real work begins - it was easy to stay sober when surrounded 100% by the people who know my habits/history the most - my wife and daughters (and their husbands). Now I have to be accountable to myself as well. I will make it to a meeting tonight and plan to work harder this go-around.
I am feeling great, physically, since stopping drinking 10.45 days ago. I actually lost about 10 lbs during that time. I know that real health progress will be slow, but its gratifying to be able to see some results in that area.
Have a terrific Sunday - thank you for being here and listening to me and thanks for your patience!

@Lionfish, hmmmm what is the source of the person saying you should be less of a terrible person? That made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. That sounds toxic to me. Just because we put down the drink doesnât turn us into instant saints. Weâre all human beings with flaws. Anyone expecting perfection simply because a drink was put down 1.5 years ago is off their rocker. Iâm sorry, and I might be projecting due to my background, but I find this awful and dismissive to the work youâve done. Try to focus on your accomplishments and continue to work on what you need to. Nothing is instant and it all takes time. I personally think youâre doing great 
Of course I could be way off base, but my feelers went up girl lol. Hang in there xx

So this flu thing seems to have peaked Friday night. Yesterday was rough, but not as bad as Friday night when my temp was just about 103. Today Iâm just really out of it because I took sleeping pills so I could sleep through it. I wanted to let the fever do itâs work, and I think thatâs what happened. Just groggy today but my fever is gone! Woke up covered head to toe in sweat though lol.
My 23yo daughter got home Friday night, and my 14yo daughter will be home tonight so we can finally have our Christmas.

Try not to get to anxious about the fall out from the party. Iâm sure it will be fine. I will be thinking of you my friend I think if you were to get sent packing they wouldnât of had you in work again. I never understand the shock of management when they arrange a big Xmas do and then are outraged and shocked when people blow the fucking lid off??! Sending you calm vibes, you will be fine

Day 14, just passed my second Sober Saturday night.
Second Saturday to sit and watch my husband get plastered, to sit and listen to his rants + repeat stories over and over and over. Sitting in a garage, huddled near the fire- not really warm enough to be comfortable. Hours and hours of this. I was unhappily holding onto the old routine to show that my sobriety doesnât affect him, doesnât affect our relationship but I canât do this anymore. I want to enjoy my weekends, I want to enjoy my Saturday - I donât want to drudge through it. I really thought I could just do me and he could just do him and it would be fine. But itâs not fine. He always reaks if stale alcohol and this is killing romance. I love him and need to find a way to make this journey work. Troubled.
