- People often talk about what they have gained by quitting drinking. Self respect, clarity of mind, better relationships.This morning as I looked at myself naked in the mirror I thought about what I have lost. I'm not talking pounds. Sadly. :(. BUT I...
- Again with the FFF theme. Sing it load and sing it proud. My dear friend Forestfreek from up North in Canada has made it 30 days. Which is no easy feat because we all know Jan. is the worst month of the year. Seriously though. I know that was a hard...
- What a wonderful journey it is. I lay here in bed this am reflecting in the safe comfy bed of mine. With my little yorkie by my side. Thinking back to that last bender. How awful I felt that I had to drink that feeling away only to have it return...
- Getting ready for the big blizzard. This will be my first storm trapped in doors for a period of time. The usual around these parts is getting the snow booze. Lots of funny stuff on Facebook about how much wine to get. For me I thought what should I...
- Here is 1 example of how alcohol ruins a marriage.Been married for 21 years. I feel as though I am still fairly young. Young enough that I still want spark & adventure in my life anyway. Last week I invited my husband to dinner & a live show. Date...
- My sober life is not all flowers & sunshine.My son is flunking out of his 1st semester in college. My daughter I can't seem to say the right thing too. Now that she knows about her brother she is very ready to fight with him & make him feel bad. I...
- Recently I noticed that I am a lot clumsier when I'm sober. I mean kinda. When I was boozing I would get mystery bruises so I must of bounced into a lot of walls. But now I'm always breaking, spilling, dropping. I'm just shy of 30 days and noticed...
- Went out tonight and got some sparkling apple/mango drink, some sugar free straw daiquiri mix. I do love me a V. Daiquiri. , and I got some seltzer water as recommended by my friend graciepie. I looked for alcohol free wine. Guess what didn't find...
- So I admitted to my 14 almost 15 yr old daughter that I have a drinking problem. I told her that I have tried many times in years past by many methods & had been unsuccessful. I told her I recognize that I am a binge drinker & what binge drinking...
- I thought of something to say over the holidays. When we are all faced with gatherings. Some of us new at this and not wanting the world up in our business. Nosy in laws asking why your not drinking. Or if you say you stopped drinking they make up...
- So I thought about going to AA. After my most recent slip. I thought these AA meetings were everywhere? Turns out the closest one is held by the halfway house that is my client. So that's out. The next closest one is 30 mins away. I don't see myself...
- I'm trying to let things go. The guilt & regret I feel for all of my misdeeds while drinking. Most of this is to do with my kids. They had a lush for a mom but somehow they still love me. I guess I created more good memories than bad. The sad fact...
- One of my best friends killed himself on this day in 2009. His girlfriend was 7 months pregnant at the time. I had know him since I was 14. He was such a wonderful person. Always willing to help me out with anything. We were definitely drinking...
- I spoke about this in my journal today. I have been doing pretty well this past month. Despite constant temptation and booze being in my face practically every single day. Husband as many of you know is a heavy drinker and his support of my sobriety...
- I've been feeling disappointed in myself recently. I haven't been doing as well as I know I could be. Not just with drinking but with eating healthy, working out, and tackling this damn webnair class I'm taking. Now I am about to have a crazy...
