Hello. Haven't posted for a while. Been reading the posts each night before sleeping. I'm ending day 30. Still looking for a job. Received a msg from a place that wants me to call them in morning. Unfortunately it's over 2 hours away. Might have an interview on Thursday, but that's 90 min away. But I guess I should just be happy for this. I keep reminding myself that alcohol is what caused this mess and if I drink again it will be even worse.

Just stuck with the hassle of making the claim and getting it replaced. How did I ever have time to drink!
Love you guys thought you'd enjoy my story as something different to read about. Never a dull moment haha

Another morning, another Monday. Glad to be alive and sober and ready for the new week and the cleanse.
I've got 6 hours of driving ahead of me today (3 hours each way) and I am really looking forward to it. I use it as time to listen to my recovery podcasts and self help audiobooks. I would never have time to do this otherwise so I consider it a blessing!
Happy Monday my sober friends- stay positive, hopeful and keep a vision for the future alive in your hearts and mind. We are doing this!

He is more relaxed when he drinks and had done some stupid crap but the fact that he has pretty much gone from drinking every weekend with me to rarely drinking at all shows me he doesn't have an issue. At least that's what I think.
I can't remember what juicer we have- it was a $100 one we got from Best Buy and it's in a box in the garage. I enjoy juicing but it's so damn expensive so I don't do it often (I did the juice fast 6 years ago.)
For the smoothies I will use my Vitamix which I got from QVC a couple years ago - gotta love their monthly payment plans! I have the one with the smaller pitcher which fits under the cabinet. It's pretty awesome!

Getting read to start my day, albiet a bit late. Day 10 and I've been feeling a bit sluggish lately...probably the heat.
Still having goofy dreams, mostly about dating...I wonder if somewhere deep down I'm lonely for a man. I just make very poor choices and don't trust myself so it's safer to not even look. Perhaps one day...
Well, off to shower and feed the pups. Hope everyone has a great day!

Congrats on 30, havetostop !
Waiting for a meeting to start, then pickup 3 yr old at pre k, then pickup 8 yr old at school by 2:45.
Then do laundry.
Snuck into a store to look at anniversary presents. Keys fell through a hole in my pocket and I lost them. Thank God I got em back.
My day off.
Oh CRAP edc - I just read your post !
The reason my car wasn't stolen is that I drive junk. Nobody would steal my car. They'd give it back. Lol
I'm really glad you're ok.
