Day 85

Beyond grateful to be waking up sober on this beautiful day. I am glad it's getting easier to shut the AV down, just by remembering how awful it feels to wake up after a night of drinking.

I am also happy to know that I can still have great conversations at dinner while not drinking- that was always my crutch because of my social anxiety- I drank to loosen up and talk more, engage more and be funny. Now I realize I can do all of those things without poisoning myself in the process.

I have another friend coming over today with her little one for a play date- I am going to make my birthday week all about connecting with those who are dear to me instead of isolating in the house.

Thanks again for all the support, it means the world to me and I couldn't have done it without you! I commit to another 24 hours of sweet sobriety. I will never go back to that dark place again- never, ever ever...

Praying for 24 hours of sober today. Really feel like heading back to bed, but I'm going to be a big girl and get ready for work

Have a wonderful day, everyone!

7:07 am in NY and checking in for another 24. I got to the hospital a little before 7 this morning because they are supposed to be putting in a port and taking out the catheter IV from my mom's leg. When they took the catheter out last time she started to bleed internally, and that was when she went into shock, so I want to be here to make sure she is okay.

She has made improvements, she's just been so tired that she falls asleep mid conversation, and loses focus. I'm sure her body is just exhausted. She is still in ICU, they had to give her a transfusion of platelets last night because her count dropped again, it may be because of the heparin for the clots. She is going to need to be on some sort of blood thinner again, and I believe they started her on one around midnight. I need to double check with the doctor this morning.

Okay, enough of my babbling. Congrats to all of our Milestoners, and continued prayers for Kris and her hubby, Leigh, Jo, and anyone else who needs them.

Have a great day everyone.

❤️Delilah

Sunny, sounds like a great plan for your birthday week! Hope you and the kids have a great time on the play date.❤️

Dels- you are NOT babbling. I think it is very good you are taking time to understand the diagnosis and treatment. ICU can be a very surreal and confusing place.
