Day 20-
I had some cravings today but nothing crazy. After cleaning and packing for 8 hours straight I asked hub to go get us some food and drinks. He asked me what kind of drinks. I said "you know, something ice cold and non carbonated! It's so freakin hot!" He laughed and said he was just checking, because when you used to want drinks it meant you wanted DRINkS. He was proud of me and the look on his face was magical. I love this man.
Today I am thankful for the love of my life.

Day 21-
House fell through.
The search continues and my heart is broken. I have until August 15th to get out of my current house because they sold it. (Rental).
I felt defeated and as we sat in a restaurant I contemplated having a drink. I really did.
But I had water.
Today I am thankful for water.

Thanks Witt!
So Day 22- (fell asleep from sheer exhaustion)
We were shown a beautiful house yesterday that is a short sale because the guy has 5 houses and moved to Florida. So we may just be able to get a mortgage on it and own it!
Working with the bank now to see what our options are.
I hope we find our home soon, I hate living in limbo!
Today I'm thankful for new opportunities.

Staying sober Witt!
Day 23- so still looking at a few houses a day. Looks like we are not quite ready to buy yet. That's ok. I don't want to be house broke and not have any money for anything else.
I appreciate any positive vibes, or prayers.
In other news, I think I hurt my back! I lifted someone at work and now I feel it a day later. Not as young as I used to be! Resting up for tomorrow.
Today I am thankful for being sober through trying times.

Day 24 was soooo busy! Work, school, looking at houses then dinner and bed.
I am thankful for being busy!
And today is day 25!

I don't envey the stepdaughter bit .... they can be very moody and as you say cranky
don't let her turn you back to drink
she will soon realise that you are only trying to be a better person .....do you get on well with her

Day 25-
Today I am drained and exhausted. But my thoughts did not turn to alcohol. They turned to a refreshing night's sleep. Today I am thankful for sleep.

Witt, we used to get along a lot better but she doesn't respect my authority no matter how much I have done for her. I have taken care of her as my own for 10 years when her mother couldn't. She treats my son badly and doesn't care for the consequences I give her. We are civil but at this point I feel that I need my distance from her.

Happy to be here on a Friday night with my mandarin seltzer!
Thankful for seltzer!

maybe when you distant yourself from her she will realise what she has lost .........maybe you all should but the father should step in and let her know it's not acceptable her behaviour
How did you go on the papers you were working on
