Dee, your quote is right on point.

I've not been having a very good few days. My middle kid is still poorly and it's making for a very cranky-pants momma.

Had a good old cry last night which helped a bit. It doesn't solve anything but neither did drinking. It was very late that I found the good thing yesterday but it was there.

I also realised that I never cried like that when I was drinking. That tells me all I need to know.

I'm grateful to be here, sober, for another day. I don't think today is going to be any more fun than the last few have been but at least I can face it without a hangover and for that I am grateful.

24 more hours of perseverance, determination and patience please.

5.50am in the UK. I absolutely will not drink today.

Ahhh mysti love.
Crying can help a little I think...it can be cathartic.
And good for getting rid of fluid retention...just saying.

I hope your beautiful boy gets better soon, and I hope you can have some time for you.

Hope you have a better day today Mysti and your son has a better day too. I have a good cry sometimes and usually feel a micro bit better afterwards if only to let out some pent up emotion.

My sister told me on the phone last night that I seem so much more stable now that I am a soberista, that made me feel good

Another 24 for me.

I'm signing up for another 24 hours. Today is the start of day 21 for me. So by Midnight tonight I will have three weeks sober. But I've been here before; stopping for extended periods of time isn't my problem, starting back up is. So this time around I have to work on staying sober, and building a quality sobriety.

Have a good Wednesday everyone.

Peace

Day ones aren't pleasant, but I'm sure you will feel much better in a day or so.

Stay strong; I believe you can achieve a full day of sobriety.

The water is a good idea jo...as is the radio. Deep breaths, and take it easy.
And remember, we are here with you.
