I hope you sleep well and have a laid back day. Sending good wishes your way.
I think we will always have our validations for drinking or time periods when life is hard...I get into slumps with feeling like I should earn a reward for making it through the day with kiddos - I have a 5 yr, 4 yr and 6 mo old. It's the loony bin some (every?) days....they were a big reason to want to drink, I am just shifting that thinking to make them be a huge reason to NOT drink.
But even when they're grown more and I'm sleeping again (someday right!), I'm guessing AV would still be there with a different reason.
Day 11.
