Morning all,
Well, a tough day yesterday as I lost my grandad. My mum called me in the afternoon to let me know that he'd passed away. While not entirely unexpected (his health has been deteriorating for a while now) it was still very sad and a shock.
AV was very bad but I resisted the urge. Now I just need to make plans to head back to the UK for the funeral. Will be nice to see the family again, albeit in such sad circumstances. The next challenge will be keeping sober at the wake. I have a bit of a boozy family
Well, good day all, and it is lovely to read your posts. Keeps me feeling strong.

Indeed, he would be very proud of me keeping sober, I was a mess at my nan's funeral last year :/ The good thing is, my parents know I am not drinking anymore and although having to talk to them on the phone emotional and "wined up" last night was hard, they said they were proud of me for not turning back to alcohol.
That helped a lot

Sorry to hear of your loss zozotxiki, the wake will be difficult for you. Good luck and look after yourself.
Alls well here, got a run in today, baked a lot now the wind is going crazy and im having a break on the couch with Mr Scruffy 'house mutt extraordinaire'!
Feeling tired and unmotivated, dunno why.
Stay strong guys.

Zozo, so sorry for your loss.
Calichris, 21 days today? Awesome job!
And great job to the rest of my team.
I'm having some very bad $ problems. Our main vehicle was repo last evening. Work hours have been cut, and $ is tight. Looking for extra work to supplement my hubs income. Really wanted to try and drink it away, but don't want to do that, plus really can't spare a dime. And drinking will not bring the car back. Just feeling very upset today. I had worked a small home business until recently, but it too failed. Not many skills, as I was a housewife and Mom for most of my life. The economy is so bad these days, I just don't know most people make it, especially those with several children.
So, I will be online today looking for some kind of employment. Wish me luck.
Have a great sober day everyone.

@determined: Do you not think that this party guy you miss is someone false? We all know that alcohol gives a false confidence. Wouldn't it be nice to have that kind of fun and confidence without the drink? Just speaking outloud as I have no answers really. I wonder if I am the real men when I get drunk and start dancing in the kitchen...
@choobie: you are always so upbeat and positive choobie. Its so nice to read your posts

Go get 'em, A Team! No matter what day you are on.
One of the highlights of being 'off wine' is not worrying about my wino breath or digging for gum before settling down in the evening to read books to my kiddos. Dr. Seuss is so much easier to read with a glass of sparkling water.

I now run my own jewellery business and still a single mum. But my son and I are still doing good. And I am a happier mum for being sober
