I guess the money I am saving on booze I'm going to have to spend on fat pants
Jazz fish, I also had a little insomnia. I am at day 12 and it comes and goes. I don't worry about t though.
Fishnhippy, I wouldn't worry abut it. Your appetite is returning. Losing weight isn't a big deal, I think

LMAO Fish!! I'm in the same boat..I didn't eat that much when drinking now my appetite is back so I'm not seeing the weight loss I expected either. I'm on day 25 so I'll consider myself a September baby. Starting October 1..gonna try the gym. I'll be honest..I hate exercise but I guess it's a necessary evil.
Renarde, boy it keeps flying at you this week, doesn't it? Life is really testing you right now and you are passing with flying colors. I hope the baby is okay. It is awful and stressful all on its won when they get sick, never mind with all you have on your plate. I hope that your program is understanding of your being a mother and having these issues now and again.
One day at a time applies to many aspects of life, not just sobriety. Just get through today. Hugs.
Hopefully the medication will help your husband. I am guessing he is anxious about the move as well?

I'm totally with you on this Black. I see my therapist tonight and want to focus on overcoming/reducing this need. I feel like I would be dead without my F, and that all my happiness stems from my relationship. Very unhealthy. Feel free to msg me if you ever want support or to chat about this. I find that talking to others is one of the things I can do to ease the pain/fear, but that often I find others can't relate if they are not familiar with being codependent. Oh healthy relationships, why do you elude me?
Fishinhippie, I tend to lose a few when I stop drinking. Sobriety typically comes with more mindful eating for me. I tend to binge not only on wine, but food as well, when I drink. Lowered inhibitions and all.
Welcome Bacon! Any other new members? I hate to forget to welcome or say hello to someone.
I feel strong in this early phase of sobriety. Over the hump of the first week or so, and into feeling relieved about not feeling blah all the time. Overall, I have had more energy for my kids and to catch up on a few things at home.
Still fighting the cold. What are ya gonna do? Kids bring them home and every now and they, they generously share them with me.

Yoctopus, I can identify with feeling the need for someone else to be happy. I attached myself to strongly in that way in two of my younger relationships. It was only after a period of time alone, that I really felt free and happy. I realized I could be happy alone. It was a very good thing. Sometimes, as a mother, and with stress, I wish I could go back to that lovely little apartment. It was so tidy, and just me and my cat, who adored me.
I think you are doing good work on yourself, going to therapy and looking for happiness within yourself.

Renarde, you really DO have so much going on right now. I'm so happy you feel comfortable enough to share and vent here.
Your RESOLVE clearly as clearly through your posts as your concern for family.
It appears that you may be on the tightrope for a while. Just know that you can make it to the other side. Think of all those tools you've gathered as your balancing pole and all of us as your safety net.
Hoping today brings you some peace, your husband some relief, and your little one good health.

My friend is coming tomorrow, Newleaf. She is staying at a hotel, so I do not have to go crazy getting the junk, I mean, guest room ready, lol. I think I will be fine enough to drive her around a few sights, and walk around a few sights with her. Now that I am up a few hours, I think today is better than yesterday.
Sounds like a very nice weekend!
Our home "office" is our junk room... And I have to confess that one of my favorite clean up tricks is stashing junk-filled laundry baskets upstairs and into first floor closets!
Glad you're on the mend.
