All he does is complain about money & HOW I DON'T WORK & he's financially supported me for 7 years (length of our marriage, guess he forgot I worked outside of the home for 6 years). Anyway, AD just wore me out yesterday. So ungrateful & manipulative. Can't stop thinking about all the hateful things she said to me. I know she's sick & was trying to deflect but it's on my mind. Not going to drink over it but between her & my husband, I feel kind of stuck. Seems like they are trying to push me over the edge. I won't let that happen!
Great to hear from you!
I think you'll reach your 6 months mark on June 20 ?
Congrats!!!
What does "AD" stand for?
I tried to look in an acronym list and there is a zillion possibilities...
I'm glad you're hanging on yous sobriety, nice!!
We CAN make it to one year now!

Hi Pebbles, Tough Times Indeed!
Try to take care of YOU! I can almost guarantee that the people making you miserable are NOT losing any sleep over it. Try to rise above, YOU are in control of your HAPPINESS!
Easy words to SAY but more difficult to follow. Be STRONG!

Hey CK! 200 Days felt pretty good to me. A nice round number. I used to think I did something if I went 3 or 4 days without a drink. Seems silly now! I never Imagined living my life without drinking until I just got TIRED of living my life around drinking!
I don't even give it much thought anymore and am quite content and HAPPY being SOBER!
Thanks to those of you who are supporting us here, especially Dee! It really helps!

Hello folks. Apologies for not checking in the past few days, it's been pretty busy!
I'm flying over to New York tomorrow morning for a little getaway. Quiet, I can't wait to drink some proper root beer! I've got lots planned and can't wait to arrive, just the 7 hour flight to negotiate first
.
Hope all is well with you guys. Keep it sober all

Thanks Dee.
I have arrived in New York, after a very long journey via Ireland. It is HOT here.
I noticed on arrival that there is a booze filled mini bar in my room, which is fine, but I'd prefer it wasn't there. So I think I'll give reception a call about that one.
Keep going all

Just arrived back from the US, how are you guys doing?
Had a really good time. I actually left the mini bar where it was in the hotel room. I had zero desire to drink any of its alcoholic contents, and it actually felt kinda empowering to have it right there and not wanting to drink it!

Cool you didn't touch that mini-bar BBB.
It would have been quite a trigger for me...
Do you still have that bike trip in Scotland on your summer agenda?
Or will it be postpone?
Have a nice comeback on your side of the pond

Hi all! Hope all is well. I'm OK. 6+ months.
Had company the past 3 days. 2 adults & a small child. Couldn't wait for them to leave. Thought they might help out with the baby so I could get a few things done around here or maybe sleep. Silly me. I live by a lake so it was more of a vacation visit for them which included them drinking.
I had an offer to go away for a week with the baby. Could leave this morning. 99% sure I won't go. Too long of a car ride & too remote for baby & his health. Plus there will be alcohol & I don't want to be stuck so far away with no escape. But my husband is on my last nerve so I did debate for awhile....would be VERY nice to be away from him. Ah well..I will survive. It was nice to be asked though. Also my daughter wants us to come to her place to watch the fireworks but since she is still using that's not an option.
Guess I'm feeling bad for myself. And tired. Not hungry though!! It appears, after putting my bathing suit on, that I have been eating plenty! I think it's because I eat quickly & OFTEN when I can before the baby interrupts. I'm angry too. My husband sits & eats a leisurely meal while I'm scrambling around. He has selective hearing & broken arms or something - never hears the baby fussing. But according to him, I DO NOTHING ALL DAY! And according to my daughter, I'm having FUN all day with her baby!
Anyway....I'm still here. Not planning or thinking of drinking. I'm going to take the baby down to the lake & we'll stay as long as he can handle it. I have a cute travel playpen that closes up to keep sun & bugs out. Can't float around the lake anymore but I can still make the best of it.
Happy 4th all !!!
