I wonder if there is a higher incidence of parents turning to booze who have teenagers. I can definitely see a pattern for me... Stressed with a situation with my kids, like with my daughter tonight...

I can do it.  Gonna be with the girls tonight.  Appetizer potluck and hot tub.  I can already hear the prompts to have just one... it's your birthday....come on have some fun.  I know I can do...

What a ride... Yesterday I was so sad and worried. Today my son called. Upbeat... Yesterday was over and today was a new day. I love him so much. Needless to say, my phone call with him improved my...

I'm sad and worried.  I was so close to drinking yesterday.  I noticed strongly the urge was there.  To bolt. To numb.  To escape my sadness and worry for my 19 yo.  He won't surrender.  He...

Ok got through my first day with no sugar. Small hurdle. Been a little out of sorts. Emotional, hard on myself, feeling out of shape and thoughts of drinking. Not craving but more weird mind stuff....

I'm so discouraged.  I am doing terrible with my eating.  I ate a ton of sugary stuff yesterday. I feel like crap and I'm in the worse shape I have been in like 15 years.  I gotta get it...

I have the whole day ahead of me. It's beautiful bright sunshiney fall weather. My favorite. I feel great. Thank God. Thank everyone on DS and thank me.

I have to stop eating sweets.  I have been trying (sort of) wanting to lose the 10 pounds I put on since the divorce.  My drinking is under control.  43 days sober!!!!!!!!!!! I exercised 6 days...

Thanks to the support of all the wonderful people here. I've been busy and haven't logged on but I love how I think of everyone and wonder how everyone is doing and hoping everyone is doing well. 34...

I am very happy to say 30 days sober! What a gift. I like myself so much better when I am not drinking. To be 100% myself, authentic, in control. I love it. I went to a huge music festival this...

today is the first time since Aug 8th that I want to drink.  Emotions and frustrations building today re: my ex, who is a selfish, self absorbed dink, and he ignores my texts and emails and is not...

I am very grateful for dancing with my daughter being sober tonight. How refreshing and unusual it was. Remember that feeling tonight. I was 100% present, in control and 100% me. I gave that gift to...

Ok. I know what's happening. Need to be gentle. Day 16, no drinking. A bit more snacking though. Awareness I have.... I want to go out and buy some ice cream...... It's better than wine.

Good morning, I love the morning and am such a morning person. I especially love the weekends and this is my second full weekend of not drinking. Waking up feeling refreshed, energized and happy....
