Good morning everyone. Another sober weekend thank goodness!
I ended up watching the documentary "Rain in my Heart" last night. Shocking, tragic and a very difficult watch. Still a little almost traumatised by it now. But that was kind of the point.......hit the craving full on and see the end of the road in all of its sad, horrific glory. Don't ask me why but this is still important to me. Respect and fear of the addiction and what it can do. I do however feel a little uneasy at using this documentary as a "recovery tool". The people were real.....
I'm okay though honest. I feel exceptionally grateful to have caught myself now and have a fighting chance of long term recovery.
Grateful this morning. Lots of love xxx

Congratulations Milestoners.
Son and heir delivered to airport and he text me as he got on his first plane (UK to Amsterdam). He only had a 50 minute slot to deplane at Amsterdam and get to his plane to Nairobi. The plane took off 40 minutes ago and not had any panicky emails or text so I am assuming he got the second flight ok!
Between you, me and the gatepost - I feel physically sick about this trip. He is travelling on his own and staying at Nairobi airport overnight before flying on to Entebbe. In Entebbe somebody will meet him off the flight and put him on to the bus that passes the charity - about a 5 hour bus ride. Counting the hours until 4:40pm on 30th July when he lands back home.
I am definitely signing up for 24 hours of sobriety

“Your ATTITUDE can be your best friend or your worst enemy. It can take you to levels you never thought possible or it can be the single most limiting element in your life.”
6:20am in Alberta, it's going to be a darn good day not to drink!
I'll have another 24 please, and thanks...

Congratulations to the celebrants!
I took a long sunrise walk today and, did a lot of thinking about my last two relapses. I knew going into them that it wasn't going to be just one or two. They were short in duration but, the aftermath was horrible. I know what I went through could've been worse and, I'm grateful if wasn't it. Hopefully I've now completely accepted I can't drink anymore. I'm not dropping my guard though.

Glad you got some great thinking down and how wonderful it must have been to be outside and watching the sun come up- i need to try a sunrise walk sometime!
