You can do this

Good to see some people coming back! I've disappeared so many times from here and it always ended badly for me. Glad you guys are giving it another go
I have a busy morning but then I'm hoping the rest of the week is calmer than last. I'm still so tired! Still much easier than being hungover though

I love doing bedtime routine with my kids without the mental anguish of wanting it to go faster so I can head downstairs to a drink.
Never thought I would actually write "love" and "bedtime routine" together haha!

Hi all, was recommended a time back this a good place to catch up with my own- March recovery bit. Have been using the new comer's bit and being a little backward sometimes with computer stuff- took me 1000 years to bump into this site. Lots happening to me- as does with every one I am sure.
Moved 4th time in 10 months- much better place- getting s-l-owly used to not being in 3F mode (fight,flight,fear). Also partner and sons not talking to me- 1 year plus (she wants divorce). Also missing home- all the stuff I worked years for. Plus changes to me- from severe trauma- body image and life style stuff that goes with it. If you check out my other posts- gives a big picture, won't bore with details again. One recurrent theme at counselling sessions is how much 1 miss my 2 adult sons. Been so long and the feelings of loss and love I have for them have not changed- so know not guilt or my needing attention. Simply love 'em and miss 'em. So eye opening time. As usual feel a bit better for reading and sharing. Thanks for reading, IC2.

Hi Dee. My sponsor said to me recently (very cold rainy wintery night b4 meeting) that he had told his sponsor once he did not have the motivation to go to a meeting because of the weather. His sponsor said to him there would have been a time when he would have climbed over broken glass to get another drink. I think of that often. IC2

Morning all! Just a quick check-in before heading home again. Already heard from the AV. After a long lousy day on the interstates my usual was to hit a bottle fast (with luck, before the car was fully unpacked) and then settle in for a glass of wine with DW. Instant relief.
No bottle today, no wine. Deep breaths instead, a little circumspection, reading SR, getting caught up with The New Yorker (one of my favorite mags). I am not messing this up again!
Hey, we've got quite a quorum going here. Let's keep it that way!
Welcome IC2. I don't think I've seen you around here yet. We're a motley bunch but we're going to get this done!
Have a good Monday, one and all.

Good morning! Checking in. Thankful to be here for my new day 2.
Although, I barely slept a wink with teething baby up and down all night long.
You guys must have missed my complaining of non-sleeping children.
But I've also said before that exhaustion was my biggest trigger. So I've got to push through.

Good morning all!
Slept great and ready for Day 2. It's going to be a great day because alcohol is NOT going to be a part of it. Meeting up with a good friend and her little ones for a play date and then AA meeting this afternoon.
Will check back later. Hope everyone has a good Monday. Let's all stay sober!
