It's an incredible story, just love it. 
One thing I failed to mentioned is as I am just a few days away from 7 months and my memory is starting to get better. It was really aggravating for a while there but it is showing signs of improving now. That's a big relief.

Alex had a really wonderful time with his gifts. He sure did enjoy it, especially getting his new 2ds. I'm back home alone, washing clothes, getting ready to go to work in the morning and just feeling sad. Did I mention my 4 and a half year old iphone finally gave out on me last night/this morning? I knew it was coming. I called my parents from my ex's place but have missed texting and calling them throughout the day. I'll get a new one tomorrow. Didn't get too much sleep last night, and I think that has something to do with my mood. Had bad dreams when I did sleep about my ex husband and being scared by him. However, I'm grateful for more than 200 days of sobriety and that my loved ones had a wonderful Christmas. I wish I had taken tomorrow off and spent it with Alex but I've got to go to work and I'm grateful for my job. Just a blah mood but my life is good, so much better than it was a little over 200 days ago. Hope everyone has had a wonderful day.

One of the things we miss out on is learning to deal with 'blah' moods...I medicated them since I was young. It took me ages to not feel like there was something wrong just because I wasn't jumping for joy. Well, you know what I mean.
I love the idea that we can't truly know joy unless we know sadness...it's a balance. The bad days leave room for better days to come. I know that is not very logical, it is just my experience.

I have caught a little cold but it’s not as bad as it could be. I’m glad to have the next three days off, Not planning on going back to AA for the time being. Just the thought of it makes me nervous. It works for so many people and it might help me in the future but right now, it isn’t right for me. However, I read from the big book almost every night. I can start to see a little difference since I started eating better recently and that’s very cool and also my house is looking a lot better with getting rid of the clutter. Have to keep going this way for my sweet Alex. He is just a happy, sweet little boy and I will do whatever it takes to stay on this path for him and myself. His happiness is everything. I feel tremendous guilt about the past with drinking but I’m working on forgiving myself.

Thank you Dee. Also, I just got off the phone with my former sponsor and we had a nice talk, I think we may understand each other a bit better. She won’t be my sponsor but I think we worked things out and will be friends. I was the one to call after I texted her to ask if it was a good time to talk for a few minutes. Had the find her number from where I had it written down a long time ago. Can’t believe I actually did that lol. I’ll head back to meetings this Tuesday, Yay!!
