Rude, but it needed to be done. Be glad another knows your struggle now 3wolves. It can only help you move forward.

I agree with the others 3wolves. And you're doing a great job in sobriety.

Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement. In losing my temper I fear I exposed myself to someone who may not treat this truth as gently as I would like. I have been off work since then, so we see how tomorrow goes.
My daughter who lives near me told me today that she was proud of my sobriety. I'm dealing with some legal issues. She hugged me and told me not to let handling this compromise my hard work. That we are family and will come thru it stronger. I'm not in trouble, just things I've avoided handling....head out of sand. Deep breath.
Everyone be kind to thyself.

3wolves, I'm sorry to hear you're going through some stress. But remember, drinking won't make your life better.

OMG CRAZY 15 hours. Grandson comes down, waking me at 1130pm, said his dad has been hurt and daughter needs help. Trotted down the road in my pjs to find SIL in kitchen floor surrounded by fruit loops......he was sleepwalking and eating. Somehow, he fell. His right foot got caught under the counter, and when he went down, he detached the ligaments from his foot and broke a bone in his leg. He undergoes surgery in two hours to reattach two ligaments to foot. Creepy to see, helped him up from floor and foot just twisted past 45 degree to the left. Called an ambulance, they took him off and I stayed with the kids. Grands glucose numbers were way low, so I spent the night testing every thirty min and administering apple juice. I can't afford to drink, I need to be present to help. Kids are coming here after school, so mom can be at hospital with dad. Grand with autism already distressed. Super granny cape on, here come my peeps.

Today is a better day. SIL leg broken in six places, not to mention the ligaments detached. Five hours of surgery to repair. Plates and pins. Weaning him off the morphine today. Looking at at least two more days in hospital. This means I get the peeps!!!!!!! *****! Sobriety is giving me the gift of helping my family. I am so grateful. Special dude takes a clear head. His spirit is sweet and loving. I'll hang on to this for the rest of my days. Hugs all the way around.

Checking in.

In a week it will be three months. I had a hard week, thought a bit about drinking but never came close. I went out to the bar with a large group of people for the second time, didn't even consider drinking, no-one gave a **** at all that I wasn't drinking. Walked home while everyone partied on. Felt great.
