Waking up so grateful. I was awoken at 3am by police knocking. BIL took off, got my truck stuck a few streets over then wandered onto a neighbor's porch thinking it was our house. They called the cops. Since the truck was cold they could not charge with DUI. which is good for someone on felony probation. He has 0 recollections. Ugh.
Although my heart is a little weighed down I am also so ecstatic i didn't touch that bottle. I love seeing that long list of everyone who didn't either. I can get through this. Hiking time

so they found out what was at the bottom of that tequila bottle, the big one. A whole load of sh*t by the sounds of it! 
So glad you are hangover free, clear headed and off to enjoy a days hiking. Have fun. Xx

Dear Hopeful Soul,
Sometimes winter can last so long, or be so cold and dark and difficult that it seems like it will last forever.
This is not just for the actual season of winter, but for the winters of our lives….the times when things that were very very good seem as though they have died.
Winter is a peculiar time, however….because there is so much going on that cannot be seen, SO MUCH that is restorative and beautiful and lovely and important.
It is a time of rest for the plants and the animals…and maybe just maybe, it is supposed to be a time of rest for us, too. It is a time when everything is restored and renewed and built back up to get ready for the hard work of spring…the renewal, the rebirth, the new life.
What if we took it all into our own souls and had a time like this...a time that we give ourselves full permission to experience? A time when we are simply restoring, resting, renewing and building strength for what is to come?
Because no matter how hard the winter is….spring is going to come. No matter how dead the world may look, it is going to come back to life….as green and beautiful as ever. The sun is going to shine and everything is going to grow again….as soon as it is time.
Living in this hope is a happy place to be, and enjoying the seasons as they come is a happy place to be…..please live in that beautiful hope.
You are so very loved.
xoxo

Today after they had a few shots I tried say sorry again for being unkind last night and somehow it had the opposite effect. Half the bottle is gone. He questioned my sincerity then my bf said I hadn't apologized at all. I got defensive. And now my bf wants me to leave. I know he's drunk but he seems very serious despite it and it hurts and is scary since I have nowhere to go and live paycheck to paycheck.
We've been together 6 years but if sobriety is my #1 i just don't see me making it while my BIL lives with us in our 1000 ft home. I feel so alone listening to them play music videos and laugh loudly, something i would have been in the middle of a few weeks ago.
My heart feels like it's drowning. I will be laying in bed though my brain is screaming to get in the car and go to the store. I will get up tomorrow and go hiking with my friend without a hangover.
It's 10:19EST
