Lav you rock!!!! Sorry, I don't know how to make the big happy jumps so just know that I'm here Jumping up and down for you going woo hoo!!!!

I was away back at the treatment centre for the week. Just a refresher for me. Felt good, I needed it. I have pulled out all of my recovery tools from the last time I was there and intent to use them daily again. I got almost 7 months before I fell last time so I know I can do it again as long as i stay on the same track. I am going to fire the sponsor I have though for sure - she almost pushed me out of AA for good due to her way of shoving the big book down my throat. She's a good lady, her way just wasn't working for me and that's okay. I'm going back to what is working for me. Starting with a meeting this morning that is all women that I love and that helped me get sober. Looking forward to seeing all of their faces.

And back on the L-Glut daily. 1000mgs, 3 times a day. keeping it in my system helps to keep the beast at bay. I'm back on day 4 today and looking forward to getting back up to where I was.

Thanks guys for always being there for me!!!

I have written out todays schedule which includes buying some thank you gifts for a couple of friends that have stuck by me even when I was horrible and confused. I am very thankful to have them.

Okay, I'm off to shower and to start this beautiful day!

Love and hugs,
Uni

Uni, I'm so glad to hear you are feeling better & stronger!
We are always here for you as well!

I must go take care of my hungry animals but I will be back
Have a great Saturday one & all!

Lav, I can feel that smile all the way though cyberspace!!!!!

Hi M3 and mylife!!!!

Uni, good to hear from you. I so admire that you are always willing to do whatever it takes.

Different sponsors have different styles. Just because that one didn't work doesn't mean another one can't. Once you find a sponsor that is right for you, I think you will find it to be a huge benefit. I know I did. My first sponsor did not work out for me. It was very difficult to make the change at the time. I can relate to the feeling "maybe AA isn't for me." Now I look back and see how much I learned from the experience. I'm not very good at dealing with human relationships (especially when something goes wrong in my eyes) because the only solution to relationship problems I ever knew was to drink. So there is much to be learned for me in the ones that DON'T live up to my expectations. Anyway....I hope this all ends up being positive experience in your journey. If nothing else, difficult times do help us figure out who are best friends really are! Good going Uni.

Congratulations Lav! I'm happy and proud to be on this journey with you!:goodjob::h

I am tired and totally unmotivated this morning. Got back from my little trip yesterday afternoon and then went to my candle party. It was a major snowstorm when I left and it took me 45 minutes to go 15 miles!

Speech meet was good, Terry is ok for now.

I have a lot of catching up to do. More later! :h

Congratulations Lav!!!!

Enjoyed a great sober night last night cuddled with my babies. Until the youngest pulled off his pull up and had an accident in my bed, lol. If I would have been drunk I would have been pissed to wake up. But instead I handled it like a mom in control. Happy to wake up hangover free!

I cancelled a girls night with friends tonight. I don't feel like being around drinking at the moment. I'm going to stay home and make a chicken pot pie tonight.

Hope everyone has a great day!!!!

Hooray for you, Shelby! I love it! One of the best things about posting here is that it reminds us to notice the little (and big) things that are better now that we're sober! I also think it's great that you canceled girls night out. Who says we have to do any socializing that makes us feel vulnerable? We'll face challenges in our own good time, and do what feels right for maintaining our sobriety, one day at a time.

I'm off to an indoor water park with the Cub Scouts today. This place has a pool side bar where in the past I've had bad tropical drinks and chardonnay. Not this time. This time it's all about having fun with the kids!

Big Congrats to you Lav!!! You really are an inspiration to me!

Be well, everyone. Gotta run...I plan to check in later and tell you about how good it felt to be sober at the water park.

Thanks again friends

shelby, sorry about the flood in your bed :H
but isn't it nice to be able to handle those little situations without a lot of drama?

LVT, congrats to your Speech team. Good to hear Terry is OK for the time being.
Sorry you are still dealing with snow - yuck!

I've invited my best friend to dinner tonight
Of course him Mom is coming too :H
EB is thrilled to death with his 'chicken shoes'. They're just a pair of pull-on boots from Walmart. He knows now to sit down & pull off his sneakers & step into his boots before we head out to the muddy (and chicken poopy) yard

Whoop whoop again Lav!! Sorry I couldn't check in today during the workshop. She had us going for 4 hours straight and what little breaks in the action there were I had use for potty breaks for the boyz.

Just home from the workshop and then a detour west to meet some new camping friends and sit by their pallet fire for a bit. One of the forum members came down from NH and the other over from CT. Not just to meet me but it helped make their decision for a roadtrip. How cool is that? I got to see 3 different campers the hosts had on their property. One is for sale but still too steep for me at this time. But boy oh boy is it purty!! A little too rustic inside for me-I'd have to pink it up some but if i had a couple of thousand on my credit card tonite I bet he would have pulled a tow package out that huge garage of his somewhere and slapped in on and away I would have gone!! I got to see videos of last years get togethe in CT and it looks like a ton of fun. the majority are big drinkers from what I can see but they promise noone gets out of hand. They asked ne a couple of times if I wanted a mudslide or glass of wine and I just kept saying no-had to drive over an hour and get up early blah lblah blah. Then the host just looked at me as said: "you don't drink at all do you? " in the nices way. I said nope I don't and thehy proceeded to tell me that many of their members don't drink either so don't worry abgout a thing. I like the honest and frank dicussions we were having. I htink I'm going fit in fine with them.
well i just took my ambien which I didn't take last nite and only got about 2 hours sleep. Tonite I took all my sleep meds including the ambien and my motor skills have commpletly disappeard so please fogive my typing.

Hey Gang,

Papmom, that sounds like a cool evening!

Lav, can you catch me up on EB? A grandson, I take it? How old? I love his appreciation of the little things in life, like chicken boots! Sounds so cute.

I had a pretty good time at the water park with the kids. Just a minor twinge when I looked over at the bar, but not a moment's thought that I might have a drink. It doesn't cross my mind as a serious possibility these days, and for that I am very grateful!

Sleep tight, Abbers!
