Anyway, enough of these sober musings. Although give me sober musings over drunken ramblings any day of the week. I'm leaving work early today to take my dog to the vet because I found a lump on his left side. Obviously I spent hours last night on doctor/vet google but I am NOT going to panic. My dog is energetic and well and the lump is probably just a rogue mince pie he stole over Xmas. No point worrying until there is something to worry about. And even then... worry doesn't actually help much. Remind me of that Jo, when my kids start going on dates!! I'm going to be one of those mums that sits in my car outside nightclubs. .. drinking a flask of tea and reading books by torch light... just so I make sure they all get home safe. And if any of them dare stay in the nightclub past their curfew, I will go into the nightclub and do my mum dancing. That will clear the place.
Congrats milestoners. ... 24 more for me please xxxx

All the best for beautiful dog. Of course you are worried. But if he has managed to stash a mince pie and it shows up on the xray, he is going to be famous and you will make a fortune.
Praying that he is just fine honey.
And I thought everybody might like some palaver
Pavlova is seriously awesome.

One person whose trail of damage with booze is as bad a mine...said she thinks that the rock-b was the BEST thing that happened to her- along with having nothing like me- family, money, home etc, because it was sink or swim. I do NOT think it was the best thing- but I think I have tried to make the best of stuff- because of it.
Now if you will excuse me..I am feeling far too mature and have to dumb myself down- watching the old Brit comedy- Red Dwarf..that will do.

It's a rainy day here and I am still in shock at how quiet the house is now that I finally have it all to myself (both boys in school and husband is at work.) I haven't had a day like this since before Christmas and I forgot how good it feels!
Things are not going well with my husband and I cannot wait until our second therapy session tomorrow. He has been giving me the silent treatment since Saturday afternoon because I yelled at him for cutting up the shop vac hose (I am very triggered by the destruction of household objects- it drives me crazy.) Had he just been able to discuss the matter with me without stonewalling (his go to method) we could have avoided the screaming match. I know screaming isn't right but I am sick to death of him physically running away from me every time there is an issue. He literally leaves the room, shuts the door and refuses to resolve any and all issues. Upon doing some research I feel validated knowing that stonewalling usually leads the other partner to explode until they feel heard.
Anyway, I don't know what to do other than be honest in therapy and hope that he can help us. I honestly don't want to live like this. It's exhausting and above all I feel sorry for our children.
Other than that I am ok. Just trying to do positive things for myself and my soul and body. Going to go do a quick meditation and then work on some of my self study courses.
Wishing you all a beautiful day and thank you if you read all of this

I was worried about you Sunflower love ~ I am very glad to see you this morning.
And of course I read your post love.....I am so glad you can talk to us. I'm glad we can ALL talk freely here.
Gosh, I am so sorry this is so hard.
I must admit that I can relate to some of it far too well....when Nick reads this he will probably feel the same way. I imagine a lot of couples go through some rough times like this....what you are doing, therapy together, that is the very best thing you can do.
I hope tomorrow's session will help you both. Hopefully your husband will be able to talk about his feelings more openly...and I hope you feel like you are truly heard.
Proud of you every single day....you move forward with strength and determination. Sending you love. ♥

I couldn't be handling any of this with a bottle in my hand.
Love you.
Love you.
I know this is really hard, but with love and commitment anything is possible. Hoping with all of my heart that it gets better between you and your husband.
And we are all with you love.

Hi Water, yes 3 weeks for me too on Thursday. But 21 days tomorrow. I am being awkward about the dates. I am feeling great but scared something will come and make me relapse. This forum helps a lot. Hope you are feeling good too. Stay strong.

More financials, facing up to it. My debt grows every time I look at a piece of paper.

Good morning, afternoon or evening to my fellow 24'ers!!
I would love another 24 hours to bring me to 4 months shackle free from alcohol tomorrow!
I am a little annoyed this morning with some clients who just get under my skin, but I am brishing that off!
I completed the 21-day fix from Beachbody and lost 7 pounds and many many inches, I can see definition, it is an awesome feeling!
Cheers
