Sorry you drank, Caramel, but glad you're right back here where you belong. Figure out something you can do differently this time and keep moving forward.
And I've also moved into the not counting days camp recently. Decided it wasn't healthy for me at the moment. Every day I don't take a drink is a positive for me.
And I like your Phoenix haiku the best, Bobbie.

Welcome back Kiki and Caramel 
I think the more tools we have for dealing with life the less likely we are to pick up the same old tool (the bottle) time and time again.

My neighbor has my house booked next week for painting. Over the weekend I was feeling overwhelmed about having to move everything by myself. I'm committing to spending one hour each evening this week to cleaning/moving/prepping as much as I can. Tonight I tackled my loft/office area. Threw out a bunch of clutter too. Maybe this process will help me get some organization done
Love the haiku poems today.

Saw the faceless woman. Evidence for assistance in regards to burns- too steeped in medical terminology and did not prove anything. Asked about 60 questions- 'how do you clean- compared to a normal person?' I was reduced to tears- a humiliating process- I felt as if I has done something wrong.
Then the booze- bearing in mind this assistance is based on burns. 'How long have you been in recovery, have you relapsed, how many meetings a week do you go to?' Then I felt really bad. Went with my counsellor, which I think made some impact. They had no copy of the letters of support sent from GP and Psychologist faxed to that location over a week ago. I provided her with more. Mostly irrelevant- because not specific enough. I have 2 weeks to hand deliver more evidence form specialist, physiotherapist( 'before I make my report'
This then gets sent to another committee who then decides whether such assistance is forthcoming. For some reason I feel like crap.
Meeting, then painting I think.

Don't stop, John. I'm glad someone went with you. Keep pushing. Sorry it's so demoralizing, but you can do this. I promise.
Kiki, Caramel, same thing. Keep pushing till you get it. You are two very strong women. If what you're doing isn't enough, do more.
Love you all very much. I've been seeing my addiction therapist for almost a year and tonight he said I was not the person that walked through his door a year ago. I know the changes in me could not have happened without each of you. Feeling very blessed.
