24 hours of sparkling sobriety for me, thank you very much.

(((melki))); I love venuscat's idea; we can welcome summer together in our own special sober way.

I'd love a boat ride. But again have this peeved feeling I don't belong and will never go on one. Okay, I don't own a boat and I'm not friends with anyone who does. Maybe I will look around for some boat ride rentals over the summer...? Like small-type cruises...
Something threw me off guard today. I expect drinks tailgating, I expect drinks when coworkers go out to a pub, I expect drinks at parties or small gatherings... But when I come to a club pool with children, and people start passing around beers and wine spritzers and toasting to summer, I am a bit taken aback. Kinda threw me off course for a bit today.

Yes, that is understandable love. So many people take alcohol everywhere now....aren't you glad we don't have to? Isn't it wonderful to be able to enjoy the children and supervise them without alcohol on board?

I wouldn't be able to do what they did, just enjoy one or two by the pool and go on with my night. It would unleash fierce thirst until I pass out for the night... Meh. I'm just tired. What's good on Netflix? I for once don't have to get up at a crack of dawn...
Speaking of Netflix, there's a really neat documentary "Maidentrip" about a girl who took a boat ride across the world by herself. Very impressive.

On Netflix: ~ Grace and Frankie...it's awesome. You need to watch Season 1 if you haven't first (so funny and warm and beautiful).
And Bloodline....and same, second season is out (brilliant drama). s ♥

Well... new username.... Formerly Tinkerbell
New start
Finally shared with hubby my desire to kick this as have been trying to go this alone and I need someone to hold me accountable.. He is happy for me but continues to drink. It's a trigger for me but I just can't keep this up.
I'm tired of this merry go round
I'm in for 24

Made it through Day 6. . The week is over. I feel a little bit better at last. A little color in my face, eyes a little less bleary. I got my hair cut after work, had some thoughts of drinking as a 'reward' but not a true craving..just the old stuff playing in my head. Sure..a tough week with work craziness and feeling very sick, but I am here on Friday night sober! I made it. Thank you for helping. The very first positive changes are happening now. Weak and tired, but something is starting to shift. I'm off to bed and will wake up to Day7. Very happy about that.
