Checking in at 8:54am in California, another 24 please

Just wanted to talk about and strange dream I had last night. I had pancreatic cancer. I was talking to one friend and I think the context was something about leaving my job and not getting a treatment that would make me even more ill. When I explained why, I said it was because I wanted to enjoy what life I have left with my family. I want my children to remember positive memories of me instead of me being sad and sick. I took that as my brain talking to me about my addiction. We all have many reasons to kick the habit. One of the ones that is most important to me is that I want to get well for my family. I dont want my children to have memories of me being depressed and sick with addiction. I want to do better for myself and my family. I'm happy and grateful to take on another 24hrs sober. Have a wonderful day everyone!

That is a heavy one. My sister died a year ago from Leimyosarcoma. It was a torturous death. I told my H last night that I dont want to die from the C word. Its quite awful and down right devastating.

I also do not want to die from alcoholism. Seems just as awful when I think about the emotional, mental, spiritual, financial and physical ruin it causes.

Life. It sure does have a lot to it. Walking forward with sobriety today.

It absolutely could have been about your addiction; spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally.

It could also be about healing. I like that thought.

In any case, may you continue to grow on your path of wellness along the journeys way.

Sorry to hear about your sister, Mizzuno.

Addiction is one we can take care of. We never have to feel imprisioned again. Not always so lucky with other illnesses. Walking into the light today.

Good to see you, Quitter. Stay the course. I'll have a Rootbeer, too. Love me Creamsoda, also.

So sorry about your sister Mizzuno. I understand your fear. God forbid I had cancer, that would be out of my hands. Alcoholism I can control. Regardless of the means, I don't want to go ahead of schedule. Wishing you a wonderful day <3
