Hi everyone!
1 week sober ... again. Feeling grateful. It's always so hard to make it through the first week. Mood swings have been pretty bad this time around
Took the kiddos to the pool for a little today. Would have never been able to do that, let alone enjoy it, with a hangover.
Hope everyone is doing well. Love you all.

Congrats on one week, Ladybug!
I can totally sympathize with the food-induced meltdown, Samantha. At least yours didn't lead to you begging for a week off of work.
I saw a beautiful copy of Walden at a used bookstore earlier, Pelagic. You're right--it's a tough read but there's some great stuff in there. (Didn't buy the book though. Now I'm kinda regretting it. Maybe if it's still there on Saturday.)

Congrats on one week LadyBug!
Going through my new nightly routine. I won't bore you with all the details, but here are a couple things that are going through my head.
1) I'm in a pretty good space lately, mostly because work is keeping me very busy - you know, the post vacation crush. Anyway, while I'm happy it's easy to stay sober at the moment I feel like it's almost an illusion - like it's not real sobriety, just too much work.
2) I got a phone call from one of my brothers who wanted to chat about our mother. He's been an absentee brother/son for the getter part of 30 years. He's got every right to re-engage with our Mom, but I don't particularly feel the need to try and be "close".
3) the busy work schedule is allowing me to isolate, and my aversion to these family issues also makes it easy for me to withdraw. This is not a good thing, so I have to be careful.
On the whole, though, the last few days have been good. I'm pretty cheery

One week LadyBug!!! 
I like the routine, MITA. I've also been feeling the same way, like I'm anticipating the next AV tsunami ~ we'd better stay close! I've also been needing to get back into the recovery workbooks.
