Wow. So talented Fabela. Chick, that was kind of slick. Good job.
Pegalic - I ran a marathon a year and a half ago. Stopped running because I started drinking again. Maybe we can start a half marathon training together. I love me when I am running. Just need a little push sometimes. I like biking too. One day - maybe - a triathlon.
AppleKat - stay strong. You have too many days to stop now. You are kicking some butt. Keep it up.
Talk to you all later!!

It's date night tonight which can be a dangerous night for me. I think I'll rent a movie and we can have a quiet night at home while I knit.

Good morning everyone! Day 18 and I'm ashamed to admit my house looks like it did when I was drinking. I've neglected everything while I worked on party decor the last 3 days. I'm not even close to being done because I keep adding stuff to make. Pinterest is going to be the death of me, better than alcohol though! Today will be definitely be spent cleaning.
I've been sleeping sooooooo well the last few nights. I'd forgotten what great sleep was like.
Have a great day everyone!!

Fabela, I read your other thread. I just want you to know that I think you are worth it. I love that that's your signature. You really inspire a lot of people in this thread. You're getting there. Keep taking care of you. When you are the best "you" that you can be, it truly is a gift to the world. Good job today.

Fabela I wish I was there. I would wrap my arms around you a let you cry.
- A few weeks ago, I couldn't stop crying. I was so depressed. Everything made me cry. I'm a few months from my suicide attempt. I just wished it had ended. I was depressed, so I drank to try to feel normal. It worked for a while. Then the drinking made me more depressed and caused severe anxiety.
Honestly though, the more days I have separated myself from drinking, the better I feel. Without alcohol, I am a better wife, mother, friend, daughter, sister and most importantly, ME!
Keep taking care of you. Keep following your plan. BECAUSE YOU'RE WORTH IT!
By the way, I have never talked about attempting suicide with anyone except my doctors and you guys. I hope someone can take something from that (like drinking is not worth it). But it is still so difficult to say out loud.

That whole knitting conversation is EXACTLY what this thread is all about to me. Everyone in here helping each other get thru those tough moments. So proud to be sober along with all of you. Powerful stuff happening in here today. Recovery in action.

Thank you for wanting to comfort me in person. When I feel like that I feel like the loneliest person in the world, so that warms my heart. And yes, I'm worth it.
