♥Although I don't have the history with you that many here have, I still want you to know that as a serial lurker, I feel as though I slightly know you. ..... and, I think you are a very brave person to take on all that you have. I could never accomplish what you have; you are to be commended, Honey.
I hope I am not being offensive in any way; being older than any of you guys, I worry about boundaries. I guess I slip into "Mom" mode sometimes..
Well , my thought are with you
I hope you find your "bliss"..
My best wishes to you and Nick,
Croutie

I really want to work on not expecting so much from myself. I don't need to be perfect- I don't need to look perfect. I am okay just the way I am.

Onward with a good summer read.

Good morning all! Safe and sober after my night out last night. It started nicely good food, booze for them, sparking water for me. Then the shots came out and drinking games and we went on to some bars which I wasn't prepared for. I went along as I'd committed to driving a friend home. Once I got to the bars I felt like I'd pushed myself somewhere a little too dangerous and regretted my decision to go. Only stayed a short while and my friend was happy to leave thank God. It's left me a little uneasy. I suppose questioning if getting through sober is the only real thing that matters. Is It? Would I have caved if I'd not been driving? Does it matter? I mean Fact is I DID drive as a precaution and it did help. Was I tempted? Actually not much. Has it affected my resolve? Maybe a little if I'm being honest.....oh well I think I have learned that my plan was pretty good but I need to be a little stronger with my boundaries next time.
That being said it's Saturday morning and I'm sipping coffee and enjoying my special treat of a morning to myself. Yeah!!!!
Lots of ferrying of my daughter's to do later today and I'm grateful for them every day.
Lots of love to you all I hope everyone is well and if you're not feeling great post post post. Team 24 looks after it's own!!!! ❤❤❤

Well done Jo! It's tough being out with the drinkers. Especially when they start doing shots. But you survived and stayed sober. That's awesome xx
Happy to say that since my epic battle with my AV (maybe an exaggeration but inside my head it felt epic) on Wednesday night in Rome...well since then, it's been gloriously easy to stay sober
It's made me think of my AV as a bully. As soon as you stand up to it, it scuttles away to regroup. I know it will come back and have another go at me but I also know it's not half as tough as it makes out. I'm tougher and if I don't want to drink, nothing in this world can make me drink.
Last full day in Italy today. It's been amazing. Every single moment has been sober and it's been the best holiday of my life. Holidays can be sober and still be awesome!! Who knew?? We need to tell people. Spread the word. 12.53pm in Italy and I most definitely want another 24 hours please. Love to all of you xxx
