Survived my kidless night........ I got this!

I didnt give in! How I feel today. Last night was rough. Having a tough time with Nia (my 19 yr old whos away at job corps) right now, no Kiki (my 12 yr old) for the night, going to dinner and seeing all these lovely professional women being able to have a glass of wine and martinis and not being able to go home and indulge in a drink or two or four, was very difficult. I looked for a meeting but there wasn’t one after I got off work. I don’t really talk to a young woman I met atan AA meeting anymore. Told a friend of mine I felt weak. He told me I wasnt and I got this. Hung up the phone, had a crying tantrum and got it out, told myself suck it up and made it through the night. Talked with a friend and watched documentary type stuff all night. Woke up sober with an enriched mind. Whew. On to Day 88. :grin::heart::tada:

Thank you so much. I’ve made a commitment to myself to stop self-sabotaging. Every time I ever get close to a goal, I always seem to do something to mess it up before something good happens for me. This app has really helped me through times that are rough and so I can only hope that I can help somebody else by showing it’s possible. I don’t know what tomorrow brings but I know I have today. I know what I want my future to hold, and I know what I can control and I just keep reminding myself of that. It doesn’t always make everybody happy, but in the end I am and that’s what matters. Hope everybody has a good Thursday!
