You deserve sobriety. You deserve a peaceful vacation, Purps. Your addiction sees a change in your routine coming and is trying its best to worm its way in. But remember it has no real power over you unless you feed it that poison. So don't take that first drink. You stopped drinking for a reason--remember those reasons and keep moving forward.
Time for work now. Please let this be a short one. Wishing everyone a safe and sober morning/afternoon/Australian middle of the night.

Have fun Purp! Remember drinking quit being fun for us a loooooong time ago!
We are off to swim class this morning then Costco. Only 91 today, sadly at that temp I go outside and say oh hey it's nice today. I grew up in a costcal area so it only took 14 years living here for 90 to be "nice" 😝
Have a good day everyone!!!

Often God shuts a door in our face, and then subsequently opens the door through which we need to go.
—Catherine Marshall
We try and try to control the events of our lives. And not seldom the events in others' lives, too. The occasions are frequent when our will conflicts with God's. Then for a time we feel at a loss. Our direction is uncertain. But always, always, another door opens. A better way beckons. How stubborn we are! And how simple life would be were we to daily, fully, turn our will and our lives over to the care of God. God's help and direction in all things are always available. Turning a deaf ear is like trying to find a seat in a darkened movie theater unaided by the usher.
Every experience is softened when we face it accompanied by our higher power. Any past struggle, any present fear, is a testament to our attempts to do it alone. Too frequently we forge ahead, alone, only to have our way blocked. The detours need never be there. No door closes unless there is a better way. Divine order will prevail.
There is no need to struggle, today. I will breathe deeply and take my higher power with me, wherever I go. And the doors will be open for as far as I can see.

Purplrks - remember you're packing us for the trip too! You're not alone! And think about tomorrow morning....you can either wake up sober and proud or hungover and full of regret. You can do it!! AV be damned!!

Stay strong Purps!!
Happy 4 weeks LB!
Just did the zoo for the day. Tiring but fun!
I dreamed I was pregnant last night. Crazy. Good thing I absolutely cannot be.
What do I get if I win again? Make Casey have a Titanic related avatar?

"When I feel like my journey is at a standstill... I realize it is in constant motion. It's all part of the process: the successes, the failures, the constant battle with my choices. I know that it is all relative. Every day I learn a little more about myself.
When we are so focused on reaching the mountain summit, we lose sight of the actual climb .
The climb is where we learn the tools to make this a sustainable, balanced lifestyle."

I need a do over day! I completely passed the exit to the swim school, I was in deep thought about my kid's birthday party. Then some kid pooped in the pool so they had to clean it and sanitize it which put their class 40 minutes later. My kids were complete buttholes at the grocery store and I was either gonna beat some butt or buy wine. I somehow managed to not do either.
Is it bedtime yet?!?!
