Hello dear Jasmine and all my sober friends. Today I had a busy day again. Brought the kids to the airport because they were flying to Portugal to be 2!! Weeks with the grandparents. They were all excited but my mother heart was bleeding deeply. So so so sad. I love and miss them so much. But I didn’t want to show them that I’m sad because they were happy and excited. I was stressed that everything went well with the trip. They went as unaccompanied minors which means the airline takes care of them. The grandparents were there to pick them up. Everything went well and we WhatsApp video called already. This is a really big help because now we can pack and prepare the moving to the house in 2 weeks. So everything is good. I want to use the time too to go to f2f meetings and to fully focus on getting sober
In bed now. So exhausted. Sober.
Good night my dear friends

Good morning dear friends. Had a good rest. Waking up without guilt and hangover is the best thing in the world. Now starting my day with an online meeting. And then work and then painting in the new house. I still miss my kids but I know they are fine.
I hope you all have a great day

Good afternoon /evening Julia – I just realized that I never did reply to you yesterday – read your email while waiting for doctor and then forgot that I didn’t reply – (brain fart - 
)
WOW – I can imagine how scary and sad it must have been for you yesterday – hugs my friend. Glad they were able to get to grandparents safely and you will have this time to work on the house / move etc. Thank goodness for WhatsApp – not sure how we survived without it (LOL).
Sounds like you started today off perfectly – hope that positive feeling continued for you. Thank you for checking in – hope you do get some time to relax and rest (not just go go go).

Thank you. I always love to read your posts. Coming home now from doing more painting… Now the cravings start and I’m really craving the alcohol. But I’m really hungry so I will not give in to this stupid craving. Just want to write it out so it gets smaller.
Hope your day is going well

You are too sweet!
Oh YES - lay it all out here and give it 0 life!
Enjoy your lovely meal and then do something for yourself to relax.
Day is going well enough - no urges today so that is good. I am going to go look at a condo for sale this evening - not sure if i’m ready for a move but would like to keep on top of the options.
Have a wonderful evening Julia

Hope you have made it through the last hour and got yourself some good food and rest. 
I know it was hard to let your sweet boys go! But you did and they survived. Stay present, take care of yourself and reach out when you’re struggling. You have my number.

Good morning Julia
Happy Friday! Hope you have a wonderful day. 
im sure you are busy with moving prep. I hope its not too tiring.
Its 7:30 here - just waking up…need to go to doctor’s appointment. Then will try to get some work done - been falling a bit behind. The condo was decent but over priced. I have my eye on one that i like - im hoping it come available soon.

Wishing you all the best for the doctor’s appointment. And for the flat you like. Fingers crossed 
I worked from home. Then went for an hour run…it felt so good. Now shower. Some sweets. 1 episode on netflix and then packing boxes. The urges are not there yet. Hope they don’t come otherwise I’m logging onto here again.

YEAH -Sounds like a great day. - i do hope they don’t come but great strategy to log on if they do.
My tests show further testing. I have a fairly large cyst on my overy - size this large would normally indicate that it is benign…can be harmful but could be nothing… will know in a few moths. Still doesn’t explain what i went in for but hey - glad i caught this — looking for silver linings. All good – just another reminder that our body is fragile and we need to fight for a addiction free life.
I am exhausted now and may be taking a nap soon…

Happy Saturday Julia
How is your day going so far? Hopefully everything is going smoothly with prep of new place and moving.
Not much going on here - just got back from my parents - catching up here and hoping to motivate myself to move around a bit today. It is a lovely sunny day and not too hot.
Have a wonderful day!

This sounds beautiful @JazzyS. You are always doing such nice things.
I need to change something NOW. Immediately! I have to get to a meeting today. I had to reset my counter last night. I feel depressed today. I know it is the alcohol that makes me feel like this. I’m getting out of bed now. Throwing out the rest and I’m going for a run now. Why can’t I not get myself together again and stop??? I was doing so well when I didn’t drink for 10… 14 days … but I don’t seem to even get 1 day together anymore
Focusing now on the next 24 hours

Good morning Julia - i do hope you are having a better Sunday now
Fight for the next 24 hours. It really is a odaat challenge. Im sorry you are feeling depressed- hopefully the act of dumping out the alcohol and going for that run are making tou feel better.
Addiction is a tricky progressive disease.
Keep fighting the urges- everytime you want to pick up remind yourself of how hard it is this time to quit and next time could be even harder.
Go to meetings- stay active- have nice go to non alcoholic drinks on hand …
I do wish you strength 
. Here is to a lovely addiction free day for the both of us
