Evening Misfits! It's a quiet Friday night since DD is at her dad's I would be in bed now, but I have to wait until they come by to grab her overnight bag. I hope it's soon. All I want to do is get under the covers and read. I'm reading "Mommy Doesn't Drink Here Anymore." so far I like it. I got most of the way through Drunk Mom, but it was really triggering, so I put it down.
The clown incident at my daughter's school was resolved. The police were able to trace the social media post to a student at the school. I don't know what the repercussions were, but I have a feeling the student is being expelled. Making threats to student's safety, police on post at the school for the day... serious stuff.
MITA - glad you kiddo is okay. had to be hard to be so far away from her.
Congrats, Dee!!

Dee, 9 ½ years, just wow. Excellently done. Imagine if I had figured it out back when CarolD first reached out to me.
Our journey takes what it takes Thirteenth. As long as I hoped I could control my drinking, I tried to.
That being said, I think you do reach a point where you know this can't go on, and that's where the action part of the equation kicks in?

Thankfully closing out day 47.
This wedding stuff is tough. Being IN the wedding more so. Behind the scenes, prep...drinks are everywhere. I saw the bar set up for the actual wedding tomorrow night. Jeeezum.
Long long day tomorrow with limited phone access. No pockets in these bridesmaid dresses.

Clearly - I read both of those books. Drunk Mom was intense! Happy reading, you will prob find Mommy Doesn't Drink here Anymore a little easier if I remember correctly. Sometimes I get that one mixed up with Diary of an Alcoholic Housewife.
Bobbie speaking of books did you read/finish Vargas' book?

I don't want to control it at present. I want to stop it. I'm sure I'll shift into wanting to be able to have a drink or two here and there once I get off the daily, but I can't worry about that until I get to days and weeks off. I hate being a person who chooses to drink over being sober, but I'm still somehow not there yet.

Good morning, class! My first sober wedding in the books. It was a beautiful ceremony. There were 2 couples at our table that shouldn't have driven home, but, not my problem.
Nothing pressing in the horizon for me.
Have a great Saturday everyone. Don't drink, it's dumb.

Bobbie -= YAY!!! Proud of you!
Apple - Keep strong, play the tape through and all.
13th - I really do understand your struggle. I feel much in the same boat. I flip flop and have been for years. It's miserable, though. Isn't it? I had a close call last night. Was in bed reading and then BOOM! got up, got dressed, was ready to jump in my car. Thankfully I had to use the bathroom before leaving, and I paused, looked in the mirror, and changed my mind. Went back to bed and am waking up sober today instead. IT IS HARD. But it is a worthwhile fight. We're all rooting for you, 13th.
Off to the dentist this morning. I stopped going for some 5 years, back to taking care of myself.
Have a great sober Saturday, everyone. Hang in there to those who are struggling today. I'm among you, too!!
Love you all
