Tonight I'm not quite myself. I missed out on my cipramil dose yesterday and I'm tired from that and the gym everyday this week and my kids have worn me out today. It's Thursday 11.30pm here in Perth and I haven't drunk since Saturday night. I went to AA on Monday and going again to a women's meeting tomorrow morning. I'm looking forward to it. I'm picking up a friend who is also a member, we used to work together years ago. We went out drinking a couple of times and now look at us, in AA with kids. Hehe.
I've been quite low tonight, tired and overwhelmed by the kids. Lately I would have normally drank wine to get through it. I don't want to go down that path so I'm sober and quite proud of myself that I am.
I feel like I should be keeping up my cheery self for my housemate who I normally chat with but I'm just grumbling at my kids. My husband is giving me **** too for going to AA and using up our nanny time that way. AA isn't the pub- it's AA mate. It's not shopping and wasting money, it is AA. Somewhere I can learn to be who I am.
Doesn't matter who is in your life people just don't understand sometimes eh.
Anyway I'm sure "this too shall pass" and my brain chemistry will come back to normal.
At least I'm not a Syrian refugee... ;(
I have a good life.
