Jane,
I have a Robin's nest in our bush behind patio. I can't wait until they hatch!

J-vo; hope you treat yourself to something nice to celebrate today.....
I had a busy day.....a catch-up on paperwok day, bit of painting and lucky to get in a swim. I done 64 lengths; that is a mile. Really love getting back to it .......
Feeling so satisfied in my early sobriety so today is a good one!

Gym was good so hope I sleep better tonight....weird dreams...no clue what caused it.
June trip is probably cancelled. Our doggie sitter has to travel for business and her day job pays much better than I can. So dh's sister and daughter will not be happy. Will probably tell him to come and leave me here....he knows better than that, or at least he should by now.
I am having a stress test tomorrow. I have wanted this since my blood clot thingy last year. Want to see if any damage was caused.
j-vo congrats of 50 days...great job!!!!

I can sure relate, Daisy! I feel hopeful, happy, proud, accomplished, disciplined and healthy. On day 2! It's almost comical if you think about it. But I know it would just take one night of drinking to turn that all around...hopeless, sad, embarrassed, worthless, undisciplined and unhealthy. I think I'll stick to my plan!

Quick check in to say CONGRATULATIONS to my dear J-Vo - 50 by 50 and never looking back... I credit your support for helping me find my way here at first - thanks for everything, and I look forward to celebrating with you, too!

I'm off to cook dinner and will try to chime in later. Jane - I did read your post and thanks for that - I love the ramblings. Sounds like you've had a tough row to hoe - I hope this sober thing lets you settle in and be comfortable with you.

Kailey congrats on the plan. I had to have an air tight plan when I first started out as my hubby was still drinking heavily. I spent a lot of time alone, and HERE!
Pav I think we crossed posts. I just read about your talk with your hubby. Congratulations on having the tough talk. What a relief. And how wonderful for your relationship.
J-vo have fun with that concession stand. It sounds like youbare going to be super busy this summer. That's great. Take care of you.
Jane that was a tough time in your life. I am so glad you made it through and are one strong lady.
Ear ache this evening. I may need urgent care if it's not better soon. Nite all.

J-Vo, Congratulations!! 50 days! Yip Yip Yippee!!

I am so proud of you girl! You are amazing!
If I was there I would order a hot dog for sure AND maybe even an Ice Cream...for sure I would give you a big tip!
Hey, my hubs drinks a lot less too. Its amazing the influence we have on the people around us. Now we can say we are a good influence. How good is that?

Kailey, glad you are here. We will help you as much as we can, stick with it. Its worth it!

Pav, I loved the story about your talk with your hubby. How awesome is that?! So neat how you BOTH cried He sounds like a softie. My hubby is like that too. You are doing so well, I am glad for you.

Lil B, that doesn't sound good! Take care of yourself, ear infections suck!

Jane, wow! That was quite the story. It is amazing that your AL addiction started to late. I guess everyone is so different in that regard. I started drinking when I was 13 with my friends. We lived in a small town and would experiment with AL all the time. So glad you are doing well now.

Daisy- keep going girl! Glad you are here.

SL, hope you are feeling better now. That was a long haul!

Ava, I loved your gazette the other day. I look forward to another one.

Well, I had a great weekend with my cousins. I told them about my AL situation and that I was not drinking anymore. They were very supportive and totally got it. We talked a lot about addiction and there are many people in our family that have addiction issues, it is amazing really.
My cousin who is manic was there and hardly spoke. He hears voices all the time now and is actually staying in the psych hospital. His psychosis was brought about by alcohol and drugs when he was about 21 and it has gotten worse. He is 37 now and will probably never be able to live independently. He still drinks and does drugs and I don't think that will ever change. He does not accept that he has a drinking and drug problem.
So Grateful I was not drinking on the weekend and that I am not drinking now. My cousins still had some drinks and I drank a shwack of Perrier.
My one cousin (a different one) was there and he struggles with control. I could see him struggle trying not to drink too much. He had one beer, which takes him 5 minutes to drink because I don't even think he swallows it. It just goes right down his throat. Quite amazing to watch really. But I could see him wanting another after the first and then the second and third and fourth....I just kept thinking "thank God that is not me". If I had wine, I would have been doing the same thing. So grateful not to be in the struggle.

Glad to be back ladies.
I will talk to you tomorrow.
xoxo

You must feel great, Nar - you were truly a non-drinker this weekend, not someone struggling mightily to be one. Both you and Ms. Day 50 have gotten yourselves to the place you need to be to get this done. I'm so happy for both of you :l.

NS (biggest hug to you)
I know RIGHT? Lol, everyone is talking like that lately, Right?

Anyway, It is pretty cool to be in this place. I am so grateful to you for helping me so much when I really needed it. You are tough but gentle. That is quite a quality!

Day 1 done - 4 more to go, this is going to be long....
So glad I have here to come and read - I think it really works better than the wine which would have been the plan a few months back!
j-vo, 50 by 50 - you have beat me! Well done, enjoy such lovely success....
LB - I left my rash too long and it did me no good - do NOT leave your ear too long!!! OK...
Nar - you sound like my daughters....Right?

Nar,
So glad to hear your weekend went well! We are so flppin proud of you. You've got this, but don't ever leave here, ok? Like they say in AA, keep comin' back.

SL, thoughts are with you, dear, to get through this hard week.

Thanks NS:h

Getting ready for work. I have new hands and feet! Did them myself yesterday along with a self-tanner. I use St. Tropez, and it doesn't smell as much as the others. Just a little color!

I'll check in later.

Oh, I found AVA!!!

Narilly I really find it hard to watch others struggle so hard with al nowdays. All the effort to stop drinking was so worth it and now we no longer have to do that. It feels so good to be free. I want to share this feeling with everyone.
I feel great goday. A little peroxide and water in the ear knocked that right out.
I was thinking this morning about what it takes for people to reach the point of doing whst it takes to get and stay sober. I honestly think it has to become more painful to continue then to stop. As long as they are still getting that enjoyment out of it, they aren't going to stop.
