WOW some great posts and advice today. You all amaze and inspire me undies.

Went to my therapist today, he kicks my bu** good (in a positive way) makes me think and gives me some good ammunition to face the world. We talked about some of the same things I just read here and how I can overcome my negativity.

I am so thankful for you all going on this journey with me.

He is great, wish I could afford a weekly session. He specializes in motivation and also addiction. So he understands. I think he has been there with an addiction or two, but not sure.

I'm going back on the McDonalds plan tomorrow. SR will be blocked here at the house, so my only access will be two hours at McDonalds in the morning.

I just wasn't feeling my schoolwork today, so it's time for a little discipline again!

Hi undies - I know I don't commit to posting daily - my apologies but at the moment I am working heaps and my days are 12 hours with travel time. There isn't much time for me after attending to family needs too. I know in what I'm about to share some people will tell me I need to be doing more to support my recovery and this is true - but I'm really trying to juggle at the moment.

Today I have been sober 3 months. I'm so happy about this! But last night was the closest I've come to picking up a drink. I was away from home with work and my darling hubby had mistakenly removed my internet connection thingy from my laptop bag. I was unable to log on to SR. I actually went and bought a bottle of wine. Did my usual trick of pouring the wine into drink bottles and then went to my accomodation (this way I could dispose of the wine bottle and wouldn't need to do it later!). Anyway I arrived at my rooom and phoned home - I spoke with my daughter. Then I went to the communal kitchen with my plastic drink bottles (they are only 600mls so I need to use a second!) wrapped in a newspaper. There was no-one in the kitchen and I poured them straight down the sink. I didn't drink one drop. But it was so close. I don't want to do that again. This morning I went for a beautiful walk - it was a very cold morning but I loved every moment of it.

I really needed to let you know how close I came but thank God I didn't drink.

AFree, that's wonderful! I'm glad you thought of SR--and then posted to us afterward!

As for hubby...

(just kidding)

Yes - I tried hard not to be angry last night! Anyway all sorted now - I'm home and I've made sure it is in the laptop bag for next week and I'm quite positive he won't remove it.

And her husband was lucky to be heard from the next day.

Trying to grab a raging bull by the horns today and turn it around. Feeling a little deflated.
