Good Morning Moms!
Checking in. All is good here. Busy but good. My husband is gone on his longest work trip since the baby AND since I've been sober -9 days. I've been a little bit nervous, mostly because he's gone over the long Labor Day weekend. I get mili-second thoughts about getting booze and immediately think of what will happen. Then, I also think about 'having the girls over for wine would be easy enough...' It's these strange phantom thoughts, like an amputee and phantom pangs from a lost limb.
Thankfully, my mom has made a last minute trip and will be arriving on Friday evening. No matter how old I get, my first call is always to my mom. I'm so thankful she can come. There are a handful of people that bring ease with their presence and my mom is one of them. I can't wait and I know husband is relived too.
So, we're on day 2 of 9 days....
I went to see my Dr. last week and turns out I'm 15 lbs less than the last time I weighed in before pregnancy. I'm certain its 15lbs of booze weight because my diet hasn't been great (see: blueberry muffin weakness). It's amazing to me that drinking resulted in 15 lbs of puffy booze weight. I've decided to take my IUD out in December and go for baby #2.
See my therapist tomorrow. Thinking it might be time to go in with husband and get some old but regular issues sorted.
Anyway, I hope everyone is doing great. Has been quiet here. Big hugs to everyone.
Oh, my 7 months sober was yesterday. Was thinking maybe I'd go to a meeting and get a chip. I only have chips that belong to a friend. He gave them to me when I first started trying to get sober and I carry them in my wallet.... thought maybe its time to go pick one up that I earned. Do you all have chips?
