Oh Sunday, my Sundays.......

Today is day seven for me, I haven't had a drink since last Sunday night
It wasn't a good day, but it was the day that is changing my life. I have shared custody of my 3 children with my ex, and my husband has 2 kids of his own that live with us 99% of the time. Sunday nights my babies go back with their "father" (meaning useless parent), and I always used to drink that night away because I miss them so much I can do this, I can find other things to do, I WILL NOT drink tonight!!

Drinking makes us all into 'useless parents', so hang in there and be proud that there is only one 'useless parent' in this family.

Yea, I guess that comment did seem a little snarky, but it's the honest truth. He has nothing to do with our children, his fiance does most of the parenting. She's said it herself, but anyway I hate turning my babies over to that monster every week.

But again, I will not drink tonight!!!! I really didn't think I could make it this long........it's been probably 3-4 years since I've been 7 days! Heck it's been along time since I've gone more than 2-3 days!!! My hubby has been so supportive of me

Congrats on a week.

Today I have a pot of stuffed cabbage simmering ready for some football.
