I have survived!!

A 6 day visit from my mother in law and sister in law. SIL is an alcoholic and doesn't know it. She got drunk every night and babbled about weird ****. MIL grinded my nerves every day.

They are leaving in a matter of hours and my sobriety and nerves are intact. Well, maybe not my nerves.

The great thing is, I am sober and THEY ARE LEAVING!!!!!

Good for you. And I agree that you should treat yourself. A nice bubble bath?

I am finding when I own my sobriety nothing should come along to change that. You proved to me that its true.

Happy for you!

Thanks everyone!

I am just going to enjoy putting my house back together and cleaning it first, and then sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet.

I really didn't think I could do it sober, but I did. My 90 days is January 2.

Lol... This kind of reminds me when my partners parents use to come and stay for THREE weeks every year. They did not "know" we were together and they never talked about it. So we would have to "degay" the house and sleep in separate rooms.

Not the same thing but the releief when they left I can definetly relate to!
