Congratulations to today’s celebrants and all who are sober today!

Wow, I love this site. Not checked in since this morning. Had a very lazy day, read my book (Blackout) for 8 hours straight! What a good book, recommended by you lovely people.
Then I thought I check in here, see what everyone is up to, Wow its all Rocky, enjoying laundry and upbeat positive vibes. Loooooving it.
Thought I would add my positive vibe. I feel so good today, despite my lazyness (I did do laundry though, seriously) but not much else. I am loving being sober and clean, first time since around aged 15, better late than never I hear you chorus
And I have plans for the rest of the week. This is great. Really feeling good. Just get me some of that German chocolate cake and heaven is mine
Thank you to everyone for being here, Welcome to the new people, keep coming here, we are all fabulous Congratulations to those celebrating a milestone. My thoughts and prayers go out to those suffering.
PS I also had 4 private messages waiting for me. I am little miss popular

Timing
If we could untangle the mysteries of life and unravel the energies which run through the world; if we could evaluate correctly the significance of passing events; if we could measure the struggles, dilemmas, and aspirations of mankind, we could find that nothing is born out of time. Everything comes at its appointed moment.
—Joseph R. Sizoo
Timing can be frustrating. We can wait and wait for something to happen, and it seems to be forever until it comes to pass. Or, suddenly, an event or circumstance is thrust upon us, catching us by surprise. Believing that things happen too slowly or too quickly is an illusion. Timing is perfect.
Today, I will trust and work with Divine Order. I will accept the timing in my life today and in my past as being perfect.

You are working so hard on yourself and making some really positive changes. Blossoming before our very eyes!
I don't really have the right to advise as such, being that I'm beside you on this journey as opposed to being a leader in any way sweetheart.
What I am however is that single mum of 2 girls. I made a decision (albeit before I became sober) to leave my marriage. The consequences of that aren't relevant here ( my subsequent partner died as you know - we won't go there - memory box closed for now) but what I do live with every day is the life that has resulted for my girls. Regrets are futile and I do believe that the marriage had been over for a long time but the guilt of the current situation, divorced parents, shared childcare and how it affects their future will linger over me forever.
When I got sober and began this journey I had met someone else. A nice guy who lives with us. My entire being went into fighting for my sobriety. In many ways it still does. Of course we are hard-wired to love our babies with a passion which never flickers, not for a moment. But our husbands / partners? I had accepted that he was a nice person but that the relationship wouldn't last. I would look at him and feel nothing. Okay not nothing. Friendship and respect and gratitude for his support but not love. The love is slowly returning now. We are growing together in a different way. He is my best friend and yes I do love him.
What am I trying to say?
You are going through a lot of change. That change is consuming you to some extent. That change is utterly necessary for you to find that blessed peace and happiness you so crave. I am utterly in awe of your commitment to bettering yourself.
Any decision about your marriage Sunflower is so huge. I suppose I just want you to be careful and take a lot of time. Because once things are said sometimes momentum takes over and they can't be taken back. As with most things on our journey time is your friend.
We love you lots Sunflower
