Doing an early check in today. It will finally be warm out in our area this afternoon so I'm taking my 4 year old son to the park to sled and run around in the snow. It feels amazing to be able to run and play with him EVERY day because I am not hungover and sick in bed.
Thank you all for the encouragement! Have a great day today!

Today is the last day before I commit to an outpatient Alcohol addiction service. I have to commit to stuff that's going to be so uncomfortable for me & until doing this for me, there is no way I can fix anything or anyone else in my life. Time will have to take care of that, much as I want the quick fix. I haven't picked up in 6 days now and only just starting to feel 'normal'. I am frightened, but if I don't commit to this then I may as well let Mr Alcohol have what's left. SR has been my Happy place and will be again. Thank you all for always being supportive and my special thanks to an extremely special lady, you know who you are. Last time for self pity and self indulgence. I will be checking in just to let you know I am around. Keep on doing what you are all doing, it works. Much Love 24'ers, you mean a lot to me. SP

The advice seems to be to pick my battles (they don't see mess apparently), let her know I love her and try not to do anything embarrassing. Ever. Thank heavens I'm sober.... I'm going to have 4 teenagers in this house in a few years.... it's going to be a hormonal mine field. ... at least life should never be dull.
I'm so glad you stood your ground with the care home Delilah. I had to go into battle on behalf of my dad on a number of occasions when he was in the pysch ward and then the hospice. It can be so difficult being assertive in such an emotional set of circumstances but standing up for the ones we love when they're vulnerable and need our help the most.... well, that's the true definition of love. I just hope that one day when I'm vulnerable, someone will go into battle for me. Although from the look my 12 year old daughter gave me this morning, I don't fancy my chances!!!
Congrats milestoners. 24 more for me please xxxx

6:12 am and checking in for another 24. It's still raining her, I am afraid to go look at my kitchen, there is a tarp on the roof and I am hoping it held up overnight. I am also hoping the rain stops today so we can finish the roof that I thought was finished months ago!
Have a great day everyone.
❤️Delilah

Good luck with the roof- will it get fixed today? I hope so. Hang in there and keep doing those deep breaths. My favorite is a 7 count- 7 second slow breath in, hold at the top and 7 second slow breath out. If you can part your lips as if you have a piece of paper between them and put your tongue behind your top teeth while you are breathing that helps too. Thinking of you!!

Kind of feeling sorry for myself and wondering where this "poor me" mentality is coming from. It's like I'm upset that my husband didn't even bother to ask me how I am feeling this morning. What does it matter? He rarely does that when I am sick. Anyway, hoping it's a low key day with my father in law - a movie perhaps? That would be a great escape from my head.
No gym for me, going to take it easy.
Here for 24 beautiful more hours of freedom...

Insomnia not good
Time to to work
Please I need and want another 24 hrs of sobriety drug freedom and freedom from self
Have a wonderful day
Thought for the Day
When we were drinking, most of us were full of pride and selfishness. We believed we could handle our own affairs, even though we were making a mess of our lives. We were very stubborn and didn't like to take advice. We resented being told what to do. To us, humility looked like weakness. But when we came into A.A., we began to be humble. And we found out that humility gave us the power we needed to overcome drinking. Have I learned that there is power in humility?
Meditation for the Day
I will come to God in faith and He will give me a new way of life. This new way of life will alter my whole existence, the words I speak, and the influence I have. They will spring from the life within me. I see how important is the work of a person who has this new way of life. The words and the example of such a person can have a wide influence for good in the world.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may learn the principles of the good life. I pray that I may meditate upon them and work at them, because they are eternal.
