Thank you Bigshoe.. You are right, the best thing I can give my girls this Christmas is a non drinking mom. And I don't need money for that 
Typical day one exhaustion tonight. Irritable one minute, somber the next. My body and mind are slowly healing again. Been through this so many Times I pretty much know just what to expect each day. It's all good things, each day gets better and better.. The secret is truly accepting that I can no longer drink. And not to let myself get fooled (again) by the lies in a week or two.
In bed and ready for my first sober sleep in a week, thank goodness. I've missed it terribly. I'm getting too old did all of this

Good evening my fellow sobriety seekers!
I'm sorry FF...that's a very sad thing. Be strong NOW. It's okay to actually feel your emotions instead of diving head first into the bottle to drown them. That's part of what we need to learn how to do all over again.
confusedagain. Yes, actions must speak louder then words. I too have broken so many promises that my words are suspect and not to be trusted. A little depressing, but I intend for my actions to speak volumes, libraries full of my intentions now.
Great job Bigshoe! I've yet to be in a public setting like a pub or bar. Not sure what my reaction will be. Fancy bottled poison...yes indeed. It's poison, flat out correct, for us, it's also lethal and the killer of happiness, success, peace. Screw it. Screw that dirty bird all the way to hell. Bash it in the head!
I rage at my addictive voice at times, helps me out envisioning kicking it's arse.
Tonks is right Brynn! Advil and lots of water. Run around the couch a dozen times. Distractions are good.
Yay Birds! Big day TEN. You, my friend, are getting stronger each day.
My AV is yammering at me tonight. I won't drink, but I HATE that antsy feeling in the back of my brain and throat. I'm off to hit the elliptic. Later then normal for me, but I have to stick my headset on and listen to my epic, angry battle music while I sweat out the nasty sucker.
Rwar!

Thoughts of strength your way FF & very sorry for your loss
All of you in those early days, be kind to yourselves.......move forward a day at a time & let go of the shame & guilt......that only leaves us stuck & pulls us back to the drink.
So glad to see those of you that didn't make it through the week-end or have been away for awhile.....back here & seeking support & a sober life.....that is hard & shows much strength & a desire to live life free of alcohol, something I'm sure, non of us will ever regret. A day at a time Friends

Checking in with a resolve not to drink again tomorrow, strengthened by today's posts. Tomorrow will be 13 days- something that would have been unheard of to me a month ago.
Good luck through all your challenges- keep adding those days. String them along and watch the fog lift.
