Hi everyone.....sorry I haven't been around for a while. I've popped in occasionally to scan a few posts but haven't been able to post myself. Luckily a few pms have made me see sense and helped me realise how important MWO is to me and that I shouldn't stay away. Thank you to those people for caring (you know who you are).
I had my first drink on day 120 - champage on my son's graduation day. It was two days after mam went into the home and the day before the first anniversary of Dad dying. No excuse I know. No accident. No plan. I just did it.
My son's graduation day was the happiest day I've had in a longtime, I was so very proud of him and along with my husband, daughter, mum-in-law and all his friends, we had a fantastic day. No, I don't regret those two glasses of champagne.
That following weekend my husband and I went to Switzerland for the week, as part of our silver wedding anniversary celebrations this year. Again, I drank - sharing a bottle of wine over dinner most nights.
Since coming home I've been fine - lots of stressful decisions coming up re mam but I'm okay. I'm not binge drinking and I'm not back to old ways. But I'm not daft either. I know only too well what could happen and thats why I don't want to stay too far away from MWO. I just couldn't post before now and I do apologise to all my close friends especially on the daily abs thread........I just couldn't find the words to say "Hi, by the way I'm drinking again.......".
Right now I feel good, I'm happy and I'm enjoying the good things in my life - my husband, two teenagers who are home for the summer, my lovely house and garden, and my daily swim which keeps me "grounded". I'm also looking forward to catching up with old friends......and new.
love & best wishes,
