    An older drunk back on day one. Who's with me?

    Yay to Day 12!! With you Dogwood - busy day today, girls went riding at the ranch, so i took the dog for a good long walk - when I rescued him they told me he was about 3, but I think he is a lot younger than that.
    Wierd day here in California, cloudy and a tiny bit of rain, and 20 degrees lower than normal, which is a pleasant 80 degrees.
    We moved into a new place to live, our last home had nice built in desks and drawers for the girls - this home has no storage at all, so went to spend of my hard saved money on bedroom furniture for the girls - so a busy but productive day today and hanging in to get very close to 2 weeks & half way to the treasured 30!!

      Day 13! WooHoo! I was so very thankful this morning to wake up with a clear head and a clear consciensce as I got ready for church. I know we don't push faith or religion here but my story without my faith is not my story. It felt so good to be in church this morning singing and praising and not hung over! I've been doing that for quite some time and it is miserable. So this was my 2nd Sunday in about 5 years that I could truly worship.

      SL, FF, Lilly, Marhall, Rooni, Dest, CE, Next.... I hope for everyone a peaceful, sober day. Mr. G hope that all is well with you. Your encouragement and advice to all us Newbies has been invaluable. You helped me through several very tough times in my first few days. Thank you!!

        Been a distressing 24 hours. Brother arrested on suspicion of murder over weekend. Wasn’t him I hasten to add, and he’s now out of custody and in the clear. Long story that I won’t go into but upshot is his friend was killed and leaves behind two young children. Alcohol fueled, not brother thankfully, but with friend and others involved. I think the guy who did it has been caught. I have no doubt that if alcohol hadn’t played a part none of this would have happened. A tragic and senseless waste of a young life, so sad. I did feel like drinking tonight but I didn't.

          Oh Free - I'm so sorry. How very awful. Sad for the family. Glad that your brother is in the clear now. :h

              That is so sad Freefly, I am however very glad your brother is okay. Those poor children. Take care.

                FreeFly, I'm so sorry to hear about such a difficult weekend. Certainly not how any of us would want to spend our weekend. Sounds like you survived it sober! I hope your brother is OK, and I'm sorry for his loss. Alcohol robs everyone it touches!!

                  Hello everyone!

                  Ah Freefly, so sorry to hear that news. I am happy your bro is in the clear, but what a tragic mess regardless. Another alcohol fuelled tragedy. There are no negatives in being sober. It is win win all the way. I hope you're okay there. Please check in and let us know how you're going won't you.

                  Scottish Lass. Your offer of support, (and FF's and many other's) on another thread is much appreciated and valued, and i just want to say thanks. I'll keep that in mind. But, i'm all good here and enjoying my little AF journey.

                  Hope all's well out there!

                  Take care.

                    Oh FF. that must have been a very stressful time for you and your family, and still obviously not good times, but some relief for you that your brither is released.
                    G - you are very welcome.....I owe my 13 days to this thread and a couple of others - nice, quiet and safe, with great advice and encouragement!
                    Tomorrow will be two weeks, then the day after will be half way to the magic 30!
                    I am enjoying this week with my girls being sober enough to enjoy every minute with them - even though the world I am living in keeps throwing me curveballs - today the sewage packed up and when the toilets flushed, the baths filled, when the bath emptied the shower filled and one and on - a bottle or two of wine would be my normal solution, but avoided it. I am less tired just now, but grumpy which doesn't make me happy - I am grouchy at the slightest thing, so not sure the girls will enjoy being with me for teh week, but I will try hard!
                    I went to the local pool with the girls this afternoon, it was hot today and I jumped in the cold water - I made a comment about a cold beer, and my 11 year old said "non alocholic, right Mum?" - wow! That made me stop in my tracks for sure!
                    Have a good, restful AF night friends, and happy clear headed Monday wakenings!

                      Morning all and thanks for the well wishes. I'm fine, just very sad for the chap and his family. I don't live near any of my family so don't know the people involved. I am however hugely relieved for my brother.

                      SL - I think sometimes the crap needs to come up in order to be cleared - sorry it's literally for you!

                      Anyway on a positive note I believe it's 2 weeks today - double my PB

                          Today is 14 Days for me and I believe SL And FF! Maybe some others too. I'll have to go back and look. And Mr. G, you have my support as well. Your advice and encouragement has helped keep me going. I'm sure glad we have some seasoned people on here like Mr. G & Byrdie! Hoping for everyone a good and sober day!

                                Yah FF and DB - it is 14 days today - YAHOO!!
                                tomorrow will be half way to 30 - we can do this!
                                I am on holiday this week, and with the crap flowing around my life (thanks FF:H) I will have some struggles I know - plan to check in here daily - it is morning and I have my cup of tea, grounding myslef before the girls get up and we go do fun stuff (and ignore the crap) and I plan to check back in the evening as we all watch the olympics!
                                Have a good day Mr G's team (and team lead too!)
