That's a really sweet story, DollyAngel, I love that! I'm sure your daughter will be thrilled.
Last night we had a crazy thunderstorm. The lightening lit up the whole sky, and the thunder made the house rattle. It woke me from a vivid drinking dream where I had just had a couple glasses of champagne at a party and had snuck off by myself with a bottle of red wine. I had just popped it open and was thinking about how I didn't care about all the damage I was about to do...then I woke up.
I laid there for a while listening to the storm and waiting for my daughter to wake up, and I was so grateful it was just a dream. When the storm woke her, we cuddled in a blanket in her room watching the flashes and talking about the storm. I enjoyed losing two hours of sleep for that.
I felt like an animal in that dream. I never want to go back there.

Totally better still rough patches but I'm starting to think that's life whether sober or not! I guess we are suppose to have ups and downs. I was thinking maybe my down times are just that and have nothing to do with alcohol!
I think I'm going to get some ear plugs to wear around the house!
then I won't have to hear mom mom hun mom hun mom Hun mom mom Hun

I can definitely relate to what you said about not knowing who you are some days, too.
Congrats on your 63 days, BTW! Is it at least a little better than the first 30??
Happening inside my head and things make me jump out of my skin so easily....and I am SO sensitive to smells! It is like being pregnant! (I'm not!)

What happen MLC... Where here if you need to vent!
Dolly I was thinking the same thing about anewpage... Her last post she was worried about child protection service.... And the councilor being able to make a report.
Hope she's ok

On a cruddy rainy day I got a boost from my husband this morning. I was driving to work and remembered something I had needed to ask him so called him at home. When I was about to hang up, he said..."oh hon, I just wanted to tell you that you looked really pretty this morning. You looked radiant actually!" Awwwww.....talk about making my day:-) He really is a keeper:-)
Oh....and he was in the middle of cleaning the bathrooms...yay me!

Wow Dolly what a great compliment from your husband! Why can't they all be that way? I don't expect it daily by any means but once a week would be nice. You have a keeper.
Good luck MLC with your meds...hope it goes well.
Briar/Inperfect...I've had lots of drinking dreams and then I start to panic and wake up and thank myself that it was only a dream!
I nearly made it to 90 days and I have to say it felt great waking up with no hangovers and no feelings of shame because I either did/said something stupid. Why did I break down then? I think you start getting comfortable with your sobriety and then the AV starts and tells you you must be ok because you made it this long. No! I also think having a solid support group of others going through the same thing helps and I stopped checking in to this site about a month before I slipped.

Hi Moms
TeenBoy is out at an event tonight with college and he asked if he missed his train if I could pick him up from the station. He has never asked me that before - frankly he knew I'd have a bottle of wine in me and couldn't do it - feeling really proud.

I'm sure that made your day, Dolly! I know it would have made mine! I sure wish my hubby would clean bathrooms or just some dishes would be nice?! He does work a lot of hours, but there are weekends, right? 
MLC, what happened? As Inperfectlyme said, we're here if you want to talk about it.
I have been wondering about anewpage also? I feel like we are missing some others, too?Hope they come back soon.
How is everyone's day going? I went to the gym this morning and then got some errands done. Kept thinking I wanted to pick up a bottle of wine for tonight... but I didn't. My husband works a lot of nights and that is when I did most of my drinking. He works from home, but shuts himself in his home office upstairs, so it is like he isn't here. Anyway, he cut back on some of those nights when I first stopped drinking because it was such a trigger for me. It helped and was nice having him around, but he has had to start going back to more evening hours and I am, once again, finding it tempting
Need to stay strong, though. I have come too far. Can't wait until the day comes when this isn't so hard!

Everyone once in a while, during the day, my brain will all of a sudden think - "what should we have to drink tonight...." ACK! I have to just stop those thoughts right away or my AV starts a whole, long, tortured conversation.
Do you have any hobbies or activities you can do at night to take your mind off drinking? I find that if I can make it for just a couple of hours after I get home that I'm good for the evening. By focusing on my hobbies it doesn't seem so hard
