Tired and very sad for some reason, (tired?). but am so glad to be sober. I felt it all for a couple hours the was able to let it go. I never let anything go when I was drinking. I would ruminate and play it over and over., and was unable to escape it in any way. I guess I sorta could blur it, but with the hangover it was 100 times bigger.
Still troubled by several situations I have no idea how to deal with, but that's where faith and hope come in. Those came in with sobriety and disappeared when I went back out. Those are huge gifts. I forget to notice them sometimes, but how? They're like the delightful elephants in the room.

And when I finally finished talking because sober me loves to talk, I asked her if I was crazy and she said, "no, not at all. You've just got into the habit of black and white thinking and you seem to have developed some unhelpful core beliefs about yourself. We can make a plan and work on it". And she had loads of certificates all over her wall which looked real so she must know what she's talking about and I couldn't be happier.
All those years my AV had me trapped with shame and guilt, telling me I couldn't trust anyone and no one would ever understand. Well guess what AV? You were wrong. Today I looked someone in the eye and told her all my deepest darkest guilty secrets and she didn't flinch. No judgement, no shock. I stripped away even more of your power today AV and in the words of the legend that is Soberleigh - be afraid AV. Be very very afraid.

I tried to get on here to let everyone know I was alright but for some reason the site kept sending me to the login page. Please continue praying for those who are still dealing with effects of this massive hurricane.

Yes Weev I too can identify with that feeling of fear & five syllable word sloth at beginning. I didn't even know who I was let alone get the urge to look for work & perform well. Took bout two yrs to shake that laziness off; but just do what you can & give time time

Thank you V for the good update on SL

I also booked a long weekend to go see my mom. She is going to need some help with insurance, and also some cheering up. I am leaving in Thursday evening Sept 28 and coming back Monday October 2nd. I will take two vacation days, and I won't miss too many kid activities since my oldest doesn't have a Meet, and my middle kiddo just has rehearsal, no shows. My husband will need to figure out practices, and how to get my little guy to soccer.
My mom's birthday is the 6th of October, so it will be an early birthday surprise. The nice thing about not needing to frantically get on a plane, I was able to find a round trip nonstop flight in JetBlue for 306 after taxes, and then 163 for the car rental for the four days. That is how much my one way flight cost last time.
I am going to try to fly home a few times a year, the next time I am going to shoot for thanksgiving break with the kids.
