30 Days Sober Today
Yep. I made it. This week was a bit of a mental struggle though. We had to deal with the death of my husband's best friend. He was only 51. The funeral was out of state and the grief, stress of missing work time was making me super crabby. My brain was going to that pre drinking mood I do to myself. I went to meetings and exercised to get through it.
Today is the day I start weaning myself off the sugar. I have allowed my cravings to go uncontrolled trying to be kind to myself and letting my body do what it needed to. Enough is enough though. Licorice for lunch is not the way to health.
I am getting my 30 day coin tonight. The meeting I go to most often is an open meeting and I am considering taking my husband so he can see what meetings are like and see me get my coin. He does not know I hit 30 days. He also has no idea what I do when I leave the house every night. He is fully but cautiously supportive having seen me fail so many times. I just cannot decide if taking him is a good idea or not. I would welcome some feedback on this topic.
So in closing, I am feeling pretty good over all. I am sleeping well and enjoying not feeling like death every day. This fall I plan to pursue a better position more in line with my skills once I am certain I have my stuff together for the long haul. My job right now is low stress and a standard 40 hrs which is working well for my recovery. It feels good to have a goal after so long of just stumbling through life.
If I can get 30 days sober, anyone can.

I'm sorry for your loss Usta but congrats on 30days 
As I'm sure you know, as long as it's an open meeting you can definitely bring your husband along
Some people prefer AA to be a private thing tho so they can share fully honestly and openly.
Its up to you
