It's the same thing that helps with booze. He thinks I will be happy and not leave him. Something came to mind tonight when j was thinking about it. "The enabler" if you have read Steven king dark tower books you would get it. Anyways he kept pushing me to go smoke, it's just like drinking. Well needless to say I didn't smoke. I did go in the garage and worked out instead to pass time and ran 4 miles. Im in control of my drinking because I'm strong and this is no different 3 days will soon turn into 95 where I end the night. If you are struggling right now please find the strength to overcome it. I have learned that the pain is only temporary and you know the the saying. No pain no gain

Good morning! Lots going on, hard to catch up.
immri - hugs to you. Glad you are here.
BBG - dude. You. ARe. the. MAN. I'm really proud of you.
There is so much more - but just want to say - love you all and thanks for endless support. My weekend with my daughter was amazing and I tried to drink in every moment. I also thought about how the weekend would have gone if I had still been drinking. Fact is, it wouldn't have. She wouldn't have told me about it. Sobriety keeps giving blessings.
Make today so awesome that yesterday is jealous!! (I stole that from someone, she must be pretty cool)

Immri - glad you posted. Keep close.
Keets - way to go Keets! Sorry your husband did that.
BBG - WTG!!!!
Sam - hope your foot feels better soon.
Bobbie - so glad you had an aswesome weekend!
KIKI - Hiya!
Wrapping up work in the next hour. I want to make meatloaf for dinner, but am out of eggs. Feeling too lazy to hit the store on the way home. Especially because I don't know if DD will eat it. She can be hit or mis sometimes.

Welcome back Immri!!!
Good to stay strong, Keets! Nice work
Nice to see everyone......I'll be around this evening, hopefully a better night's sleep than last night ~ Way too much excitement ~ LOL
And of course I'm doing what I do best which is beat myself up for not taking the opportunity to talk to him more....I had his attention, I had the chance to ask questions and Pthththhhhh....
Shoulda, woulda, coulda..... .Anyway, I'm trying to focus on all the positive & learn to be better prepared next time (assuming there is a next time! Ha!)

Lucked out on the dinner front. Tonight was DD's school fundraiser at McD's. Over the years of having a kid, I am so McD'd out. But it was easy. And DD got to see some friends. Win win.
Purp - forgot to say, AWESOME!!!!!

Evening all
Good day today...didn't die in my step class...so that's a bonus
But I am feeling mighty sore this evening...
Had a rough moment with my AV today. Needed to run out to grab a couple things for dinner and out of no where I had to really fight off the urge to stroll down the wine aisle. I was able to leave the store without purchasing anything additional and I was able to identify the trigger as boredom....so those are two positives that I will take from it. I would like to say the answer is simply to never be bored but something tells me that part of this process is going to be learning how to just be okay with sitting still, and doing nothing, and being bored sometimes....hmmmm....with still six days to go of my holidays I am going to have to be watchful I guess
No plans for the evening...maybe some internet hunting for new low-carb recipes.....

Kickass job fighting off the av, Sam! And those step classes are brutal! I need to take one of those myself!
Oh yeah CH, McD is always an easy go-to. Almost too easy for me sometimes LOL
Hi Phoenix! Glad to see you're marching along, and with some nice weather.....I'd like to make Australia one of my travel destinations some day. It's only what, an 8 million hour flight?
Bobbie ~ "Sobriety keeps giving us blessings" ~ I love that!
