101 Days. Celebrating my daughter’s Birthday today. Planning on going to a restaurant without a bar, just the 3 of us. Normally we’d have family & friends over drinking for hours but not this year. My daughter is loving this plan since she doesn’t like the drunks and it’s all about her in the end anyway. I’m finally being a responsible mom. Better late than never.

These days between Christmas and New Year’s are always a bit of a struggle. I get to missing my routine. I just do better on a schedule lol I’m going to try to find some projects to work on to keep busy.

but still wont feel 100 percent until my team leader is in work with me tomoz and pulls me in for a meeting ? Surely it will be a bit of a telling off ? But i tend to overthink and think the worst ie sacked etc etc

I finally found relief in rejection. It is actually pretty awesome. Personally, professionally… whatever!
Being unwanted for one reason or another sets you free. Free of chains. Free of expectations. Free of trying with everything you have. Feels damn good and light as a cloud or cotton candy, something. Got to be light. Lol.

Welcome @NancyH so glad you have found this community and congrats on putting yourself as your number 1 priority. Take full advantage of this site. It can be a huge tool and support on your sobriety journey.
Back to day 1, let my MIL get to me and I caved. Didn’t sleep well at all Friday night. ( I won’t be to day 2 until 11 pm tonight) she didn’t say anything bad, I just feel so uncomfortable around her because of stuff she has said to me in the past.

So sorry to hear that @Licorice. Just glad to see your back on here at day 1. Just worry about today and making it to day 2. Holidays are almost over and hopefully you can put some space between you and your MIL!

Try not to let the external world affect your internal world they are two different entities. You cannot control everything and everyone to bend to your will but you can control the picking up of your substance. If you don’t meditate already I suggest you start because with inner peace others cannot hurt you. My Mrs still drinks and smokes in front of me but her actions are not my actions and it would not be her fault if I relapsed. After reading that back it sounds a bit shitty but what I’m trying to say is don’t react to your thoughts unless they are positive ones. Well done for getting straight back to recovery. Learn and be strong
