Morning all.
This morning I'm thinking it was almost worth being a drunk for thirty five years because without that experience how could I ever appreciate sobriety so much?
Every cloud.....etc etc.
24 more hours of being completely present please.

(((Leigh)))! Thanks for your cheerleading here! You and Venus, Wolf, Dee, Kris, Strat, and a few more stay strong in recognizing people to feel good about themselves and/or offer a ray of sunshine when all they see are clouds. Thank you <3

11.15am UK time, another 24!
I saw a patient the other day with end-stage alcoholic liver disease. He had been abstinent for about two months after a hospital admission with acute ascites (swollen stomach with fluid, due to liver failure) but it was too late. Unfortunately he has no contact with his family I imagine due to his drinking. His housing officer rang up and said she thought he'd been drinking again as he was confused.
When I went round to the house he was confused and slurring his words, but there was no smell of alcohol. He was yellow. His liver was packing in and affecting his brain- it's called encephalopathy. He was pleasant and polite but clearly not well.
I admitted him to hospital but am not sure he'll come out. Realistically, if he survives this, he'll need a transplant. He's 57. Really sad.
Seeing people like that makes me so glad I'm here, and so glad for everyone else is here with me, who have made the decision to stop before we get to that stage.

6:28 a.m. and the birds are chirping away outside. The peace and quiet in this house is just beautiful as the kids and hubby are snuggled in bed (it's the only time I can actually hear the small fountain we have on the counter between the kitchen and the dining room.)
Day 59 over here and I am committing to another 24.
I wish there was a group like this for eating disorders. Maybe I can use this for my food AV as well- I have been eating mindlessly lately and self sabotaging all the recent progress I have made on my body. So...I commit to 24 hours of listening to my body and loving myself, and to not listening to that damn food AV and its attempts to derail my healthy diet.
