Three weeks today for me! Reading daily and strong so far. It has turned very cold here, and I hate the cold, so I've not jogged in three days. Hope to get back out there today, as I know exercise is important.

Maybe I'm in a mood... but fiancé has upset me. He was hurrying me up to put my stuff down and get a hug out of the way. I like one when he comes home. But if it hastles him, do I really want it? If its not a sincere hug? Trying not to stew.
But here I am... stewing.

Today is the first time in the nearly month that I've been clean that the thought of using came to my mind. My AV said, you're really stressed, I know something that will help, and so on...
So, I found projects to entertain the kids and came to a quiet place to get on and check in. I will not use today. I will not be deceived just because I'm feeling stressed out. Using will make things worse, not better.
I am so thankful found this site after searching far and wide online!

I'm glad you found a quiet place today, and didn't drink.

13th day
Had a very busy day. Stayed focused and got all my shopping done, my hair cut, and a few other things needed done. Had to stay focused we are in for a 2 two day snow storm, high winds and frigid temps. I had not left the house since Monday because of the freezing temperatures we had all week, I really needed to get out.
Plan on baking Christmas cookies tomorrow and wrapping presents, can't go out tomorrow due to frigid temps, might as well do something useful. Still longing for that glass of wine. It is making me very sad. My AV is such a nagger.
Walking with my soul mates on SR on the path to sobriety for life. Peace😘

Pretty difficult day for me. Today was the day my boss delivers Christmas gifts to special clients and friends. Sooooo all day long, I had over 75 bottles of wine staring at me. OMG... pretty tough to concentrate all day long. The AV was telling me all day to take a bottle... the boss won't miss it. 
I'm so glad it's over.
Drove home in a snow storm with anxiety over the top. I'm happy to be home, but the snow and bitterly cold temps this weekend is adding more anxiety. I have way too much shopping to do and cannot be stuck in the house. I'm not going to drink over this, but it's making me pretty uptight. Good thing I have caramel praline crunch ice cream and A LOT of chocolate.
Hope everyone has a great night. Thanks for letting me vent.

Hey everyone. I've been in a mood the last couple days. I have been wanting to make major changes. And it feels right but also really irresponsible and impulsive. I almost quit my full time job for something two days per week. Very unreliable money, so that I can just make art all the time and make it my main job. But no o can't. So I took on another job. So that I can try to start really paying down my debt. I wish I could follow my gut right now.
