Good morning everyone! I woke up so dizzy this morning that I fell when I stood up. Walking was a big challenge for several minutes, but thankfully itā€™s been fading over the course of the morning, and 1.5 hours later I feel almost normal. Iā€™ve got a doctorā€™s appointment coming up on the 11th so Iā€™ll ask about it then. My hunch is that itā€™s related to a recurrent blockage in my ear canal, lying on my back tends to trigger the dizziness and I have a degree of conductive hearing loss as well. But Iā€™ll let the doctor decide that.

Off to ā€œworkā€ I goā€¦ keeping up that professional development.

@keiti Iā€™m sure you are already becoming a better mom and better wife more than you realize. The sober journey has you growing so much as a person, and I donā€™t think itā€™s possible for it not to positively affect those roles you play. Just keep going in the direction you are, keep on making an effort, and it will pay off. Remember the other week, you were showing your kids they were the most important thing in your life, you did everything to be with them when they were sick. Thatā€™s from the heart, and thereā€™s more where that came from.

Dear Kairi, please give yourself a break, big worthwhile changes dont happen overnight they take time and effort. But let me put things into perspective, imagine getting through the last few weeks caring for your children whilst being drunk or hungover, I very much doubt you would have been up to the job, so I already convinced you are a better mother!!
You sound a little run down and worn out and Iā€™m not surprised youā€™ve had so much on. Are you hoping to see the doctor about your iron levels? I think fixing this will make you feel a whole lot better. Be gentle on yourself sweetie, to me you are superwoman and I friggin love your progress despite all the lemons being thrown st you lately. Inspirational. Now time to put you first for a little and recharge :hugs::orange_heart::hugs::orange_heart::blue_heart::hugs::blue_heart:

@keiti Kairi, you beautiful lady, you have had to deal with so much on what was supposed to be a vacation. And you have remained sober and strong for your family. Relax, good things are waiting for you.:hugs:

Hey everybodyā€¦all good here in Chicago. Gonna watch some cubs/mariners. My wife had a brutal day with our son, so now sheā€™s out with my daughter doing mommy/daugther things. The second I got home my son went from rambunctious troublemaker to well behaved angel. A win for me but I feel bad for my wife. She looked in disbelief as she left. Upset with him for being impossible all day and mad at me for getting off easy. Lol what can I say? Hope all are well!

Let your wife know that all her mommy live finally caught up to Junior, and thank her for her efforts and patience.
