There it is! You were freaking me out Dee! Thought i finally fell off the rocker.
OmoRose, you have a crazy dramatic monologue thing going when you post. I like it.
Brynner, I'm sorry you're hurting. I'm proud of you for doing the right thing, even though it's hard... It's really an amazing show of inner strength.
I'm proud of all my classmates. There are a million hurdles and reasons we could use to give up, yet we are all still here. You guys rock.
Night December!

Aww... Brynn, my heart goes out to you. You are Doing a very brave thing, and something that you know is right for you rather than holding on to what is familiar. But it is a sad thing to end a relationship and be in limbo but you are doing it and that takes such courage. So very proud of you... Hugs...
Omo.. You do have a way with words.. Beautiful! Being busy is a good thing in early sobriety.but don't forget to take care of YOU when you can so you stay strong when you aren't so busy.
Forced myself to wake up at 645 since I go back to work on Monday and need to get back to my early to bed/early to rise schedule. An awful dream also jolted me awake, one that I feel will stick with me all day,,, yuck! Trying to shake it.
I absolutely love sleep these days, it's is a welcome (and healthy) escape from the things in my life that have me worried and stressed.
Going to breakfast to say goodbye to my cousins (more eating!). I feel good today, despite the disturbing dream. It really does get better with each day.

Good Morning Classmates.
Day 29 for the triplets.
A bit of snow here this morning.
Forabetterlife - sorry about the dream jolting you awake - I hope you can shake it off. I have been eating too much too - I think it's all part of the body healing.

3 weeks today!! Longer than after any of my medical detoxes! Mostly due to all you wonderful people.
Tonks hope you are on the mend. Brynn the end of any relationship is hard and takes time to absorb even if it is the best for us.
FABL I am with you I could sleep all day!!! I think I am making up for all the years of waking up at 3am in panic mode.

Good Luck on the interview Monday !!! Also I read about someone's choice w parttime?? I had to turn down a few because of not enough hrs- either choice is a better one sober, no matter what you decide. I interviewed drunk once. Got the job actually. Just danger ridiculous. Obviously it didn't last.
Brynn, you're making the right choice, and I agree, brave and better for it. I'm 43 and had plenty of "buddies" who were guys like your fella sound like he might be. Not the devil, but not what's good for you anymore. I personally got into plenty of, um, tussles, in my young days, but i do know some that never get past the tough guy stage. I've got the 6, 2 , yr olds at home, so I'm a whole new tough guy now..... IBUPROFEN man !
2015 a new yr, y'all -- do it different, it'll be different ! I'm trusting a higher power on this one !!

Thanks y'all for the encouragement and support regarding the boyfriend stuff.
I think I need a break from relationships for while and I need to learn how to be alone. This will be a first! Kind of a weird feeling actually, but it's a good thing.
Have a lovely Saturday everyone!!

Guys I need to be selfish right now. I'm sorry. I really need your support. On top Of everything else in my life right now, the man that I've been "waiting" for, who was ending a relationship (we've bed on an off for 10 years, it's a long, long story) .. Well I just found out he's taking "her" to Vegas on a work trip. So clearly he isn't ending it. My heart is shattered over than man for the 100th time. I am 44 years old, I know I should know better, I should handle things better, I should be more emotionally stable. But this news on top of my fathers cancer, job stress, financial stress, worries about my kids.. I feel I'm gonna break.
And I want to drink. Badly. I want to push down the pain. It all hurts more than I can handle. I have friends, but no one I can turn to right now.
I'm sorry if I sound pathetic,, I just can't believe all of this is happening to me all at once. Do I deserve this somehow? I'm lost. Drinking will only make it all worse, I know this, yet it is my first go-to for relief.
I don't know how to make myself feel better, or even how to function right now.

Good Morning All - Just caught up on a couple days of posts here....great going to everyone hitting milestones or just another sober day!
Midwest - I am in day 30 today also. Glad to wake early this morning feeling good & have the day at home. Son gave me some great organic coffee beans for Christmas & may have spoiled me....great cup of black coffee.
FABL - One thing that I've learned over this last year is how much pressure I put on myself to "do it all"......I'm learning to give myself a break if I don't complete everything on my "list" & for once in my life, taking time to just relax, knowing that the list will never be complete.....to do what I can & leave the rest for tomorrow or another day.
Hope you all have a good sober Saturday!
