The Little Thread of Sunshine šŸŒž (with a chance of rain)

Hi Sunshinegirl! What a good decision!
It makes all the difference. Please tell me how your 1st meeting went when you return!

Thank you that you are thinking of me. We went to the lake. To the playground with the kids and for a walk there. Then we had dinner there and only came home now. Was great because it kept my mind busy. And now Iā€™m to full to have cravings. Have to bring the kids to bed now. I was scared today because it is Friday but now Friday is almost over. Thank you so much on checking up on me. How are you doing and what are you up to?

Iā€™m good Julia I went to Newcastle county down by the sea with my daughter today. It was lovely. Sheā€™s doing exams at the minute so it was a break for her. Not long home. She has gone out with friends for the evening and Iā€™m reading and will watch a movie soon. So glad youā€™re doing well :blush:

Tiny cute children :blush:
Me and my girl x

Wow you look alike. Such pretty beautiful faces!!! Glad that you had a great time too!! Movie sounds like a great idea. I think I will do the same if I donā€™t fall asleep with the kidsā€¦

Either way youā€™ll be proud :blush:

Now on day 6 and again I made a weekend without booze. Some weeks ago this thought was so unbelievable. Weekend without boozeā€¦ Unimaginable.
When my alarm rang this morning I was in such a deep sleep I didnā€™t hear it for a long timeā€¦
Havenā€™t had this for very long. Such good night rest.

With alcohol I would always wake up around 3am. Sweaty, hangover and thirsty. Then I would have these guilty thoughts and shame not letting me fall asleep properly againā€¦ Then when the alarm rang I would be sooo restless that I would be tired the whole day plus hangoverā€¦ God I really donā€™t miss this fucked up feeling!!!

Unfortunately I was in such a deep sleep that I needed a big mug of coffee in the morning. I still feel so tired actually a bit like being hungover but a better feeling because I know it is not from the booze.

Wishing you all a great sober start into the new week
