Hello sober friends.
Cold day here in the Northeast- I'm still walking our son to school but am wondering when it's going to be too cold to do that!
I've had a sore throat going on 3 weeks now. I am kind of over it.
Other than that life is okay- I am seeing my therapist tonight which I can't wait for- we had such a great session last week and I truly trust him, which is something I can't say about many people.
My husband and I are not getting along at all. I'll blame it on holiday stress although it's our usual cycle it seems. We just can't connect, can't communicate. He doesn't seem to care about me or what I am doing- he doesn't even know how many months I've been sober. He doesn't ask.
Our son is doing better or at least having more good days than bad. I just filled out a form to get an appointment with a therapist- hoping that will work out - it's set for the end of the month.
Other than that I am okay- tired, a little burnt out and not looking forward to a 4 day weekend with both boys home but I will survive. I wish I looked forward to these weekends rather than dreading them. I just know that after 2 days I am out of energy and needs space which it seems impossible to get when they are both home. Maybe I will be able to sneak out a bit for a movie.
Haven't figured out what I'm making for Thanksgiving and I honestly don't want to think about it (I only need to make a vegetable dish). I'm tired. Not sure why although getting up at 4 am probably doesn't help (I usually fall asleep around 8 but my son kept me up till 9 last night.) Oh well. Sober and grateful for that much and I haven't had any cravings to drink. I think that 6 month mark really made a difference for me.
I'm rambling! Need to go pick up my toddler.
Happy Tuesday dear friends!

I no longer waste money, but try to put it to good use. Like all of us, when I was drunk, I threw money around like I really had it. It gave me a feeling of importance - a millionaire for a day. But the morning after, with an empty wallet and perhaps also some undecipherable checks, was a sad awakening. How could I have been such a fool? How will I ever make it up? Thoughts like these get you down. When we are sober, we spend our hard-earned money as it should be spent. Although perhaps some of us could be more generous in our A.A. giving, at least we do not throw it away. Am I making good use of my money?
Meditation for the Day
You were meant to be at home and comfortable in the world. Yet some people live a life of quiet desperation. This is the opposite of being at home and at peace in the world. Let your peace of mind be evident to those around you. Let others see that you are comfortable, and seeing it, know that it springs from your trust in a Higher Power. The dull, hard way of resignation is not God's way. Faith takes the sting out of the winds of adversity and brings peace even in the midst of struggle.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may be more comfortable in my way of living. I pray that I may feel more at home and at peace within myself.
