Welcoming day 14 in the predawn hours

Con: It is 1:30 AM and I'm still awake, monitoring a sick child who is having breathing issues.

Pro: I'm not fast asleep and leaving my husband to deal with this as would have been the case were I still drinking. He has to be up extra early for work so I've left him to slumber. I suspect I'll be spending the day home with said child.

So I reflect on day 13 and the start of day 14... And the progress that has been made. It occurred to me that after day, much like hitting double digits was a wonderful milestone, after today I can count in weeks... Plural... Awesome! :-)

I don't know what today shall bring... I see doctor's and breathing treatments and rest and naps in our future. And hopefully a smattering of work as I'm forever behind lately on that front... And I know that today I will not drink.

:-)

I hope your child gets better soon. I guess all mothers go through that from time to time. With my son it was earaches. Sounds like you're doing great. Hope you get some rest.

Thanks all. In reflecting today I feel like I need to pinch myself to believe I've really done this for two weeks... Feels like an eternity yet a blink of an eye.

Brilliant achievement! It's also wonderful to be doing mothering (parenting ) duties with a clear head. Hope the little one is better soon.

Every day we are sober is a successful day.

Other responsibilities won't kill us but alcoholism will.

Congrats on another sober day
