We must embrace the absurd and go beyond everything we have ever known.
—Janie Gustafson
We have stepped beyond the limits of our former life and accepted the possibility of the unknown. Many of us have always tried to be rational, to trust only what we could understand or reason through. That attempt served the part of us that lusted for control and power, but it kept us from unknown possibilities and dreams.
When we decide to be less controlling, we begin to believe in possibilities we didn't allow before. That is how we let God influence our lives. Perhaps we don't see a reasonable way to a more satisfying job, but we can be open to surprising possibilities. We may see nothing we can do to overcome our compulsions, but we pray for God to remove our shortcomings in God's way, and already we have a new attitude.
God, give me the courage to step into the unknown, the absurd, and experience the awakening of my spirit.

So today is day TWO (2) for the 5,000,000th time! Ugh. And I have all those crappy feelings that come along with "day 2". Heck....I am still sitting here in my pajamas because I am too depressed to go anywhere. It sucks. I really don't know why I keep doing this to myself. It's crazy. It is truly crazy and I don't think I will EVER understand how some liquid in a bottle has this kind of power over me.
So anyway....Thank God for 2nd, 3rd, 20th, 500th and 5,000,0000 chances.
I have therapy on Monday's and Fridays so my next session is coming up. I NEED to stay sober for the therapy to work! It's CRITICAL! I feel really weak today but I WILL NOT DRINK TODAY!
Love you all...I need to jump in the shower because I have to drive my son to practice. If it wasn't for my kids I would probably either be dead or trying to drink myself to death. It's scary! They deserve to have the mother that I never had. I may want to stay sober for THEM right now but I am hoping that one day I will want to stay sober for ME! Therapy could be the miracle I need.

Kiki, you have an amazing opportunity now, with therapy. Make sure you embrace the whole experience and do what ever you can to make it work. Drink plenty of water, eat nutritional food, exercise, and think good thoughts. Remember, you are a wonderful person and you deserve the very best, even from yourself. I have so much faith in you! You can do this!

Here is a pic of the rocks I painted last night.....I can't stare at it too long 'cause I'll pick it apart....he wanted their logo in black on a white background & vice versa, so here goes:
I'm pleasantly surprised to say that it was mentioned on the radio this morning....when the picture was pulled up for them to see, even Galvin (my favorite, the mean one) didn't scoff....and he hates everything. They have someone working on painting the logo on a water tower and Mike said "Maybe we should have this person do it instead" LOLOL
(and fyi....Sharpies work much better than the paint, IMO)

Glad to see that you come right back here, LB.
Not drinking makes me a better parent. Had the most magical moment with my 10 yo at bedtime, I read Roald Dahl to her. Would never have done that drinking, I would just be eager to get her to bed so I could open a bottle. I like this a lot better.
