Good morning friends. Today is a big day today. For no other reason that it was this day last year I went back out there. Big time. I let the pressure of work get to me and had the eff it of all eff it moments and that was it until 19th April. The beginning of the scariest week of my life.
But not today no way. I'm so grateful to be on this path with you all. Pressure still comes, life still happens but nothing is a reason to drink. Nothing.
We are the lucky ones because we have eachother. I truly believe that.
So I will embrace my 24 today because I am happy and safe and capable and growing......lots of love

I've decided this morning that I can't change the past but I can embrace the future and value the people that are important. Ditch the guilt and commit to being the best version of myself I can be. It's hard to let go of old resentments and hurt but it's time to grow up.
Thank god, I'm 37!! 😂
Have a lovely sunday my SR friends. Gabexx

Oh and gang! Just read up on the Netflix chit chat. I'm still watching The Crown. How they got away with some of it!
When my bf starts his new shifts I'll be looking for a new thing to get in to. My sis mentioned Stranger Things so I may check it out. There's Peeky Blinders too which has the added bonus of Tom Hardy in it (swoon!).
Although I think I might check out jsm' s suggestion. Ooh I LOVE a binge tv night!
Oh and just a little hug for you jsm. Thrilled you're back with us xxx

6:06 and hoping the kids sleep in past 7 this morning!
My little guy (age 3) has not been sleeping well ever since he got sick a few weeks ago and he has me going into his room several times a night which is exhausting! Last night he had a fit of insomnia around midnight and couldn't fall back asleep but kept rolling over (I was smooshed next to him in his twin bed) and giving me kisses. How can I get mad at that? I love the affection.
So despite feeling tired and a bit on edge from the lack of sleep I am here for another 24 hours of sweet liberation from the burdens of alcohol. I am beginning to wake up and give gratitude to the things I touch and see and I can finally feel love building back into my heart- it took a while but I have a feeling things are only going to get better from here. Love you all!

You sound great Sunflower! Hopefully this therapy will strengthen the bond between you and your hubbie. Teamwork parenting for those 2 lovely boys of yours!
Have a great day xxx
