I am going to be a braggin mom again, she is currently ranked in the top ten for both the 1600 (7th) and the 3200 (8th) for her conference. She is one of two Freshman in both. It's so much fun watching her out there, and I am envious of how fast she is!
My son is finally back to himself, his fever was exactly 100 this morning, but back to normal tonight. I know he's feeling better because he is playing video games and talking to his friend on there.
My middle kiddo is babysitting tonight, she is excited to make some money.
I am snuggled under my blankets and listening to the rain, it is a nice way to spend the evening.❤️
Congrats to all of our Milestoners, hope everyone is having s great day.

The party was a resounding success and much fun was had by all. Oh and my goodness the alcohol was flowing. It's so odd I just don't connect to it. It's like a strange substance that other people drink but no thank you I'll pass.
Yes of course there were conversations with drunk people, things were said which grated on me, I was disconnected to the overall vibe of the night. But that's okay. I feel genuinely proud of myself right now. More than that I'm grateful to all of you for your never ending support and love.
24 more please ❤❤❤

Glad you enjoyed your night- you have emerged a beautiful butterfly, from the "chaotic tatters of addiction." You have really done this...

My 12 year old daughter has just declared that Mothers Day is a load of commercial nonsense but she will make me breakfast anyway..... not because it's Mother's Day but because she feels like making pancakes. She's an awesome cook so I'm happy about her decision, regardless of the sentiment. As for the dog? He thinks every day should be Dog Day and gets mightily peeved whenever the attention seems to be focused elsewhere. So far, he's almost knocked over my cup of tea, trampled on a couple of pictures of giraffes and right now is trying to get involved with the pancakes. This is definitely one of my favourite Sunday mornings ever. Congratulations to your daughter Delilah and so pleased to hear your son is feeling better. Congrats to everyone celebrating a milestone today ... 24 more for me please xxxx
Aw...Happy Mother's Day Kenton! You describe the scene so well, jealous dog and all haha! Hope those pancakes were scrumptious!

Hi all, I’m sorry I haven’t been checking in. I’m still sober, I’ve just been going through a tough time with my health.
I’ve been undergoing a lot of different tests, biopsies and scans with more to
come next Monday.. I’m really scared and worried especially as I’m a single Mum. Hopefully everything will turn out ok but preliminary tests arent looking too good. If you’ve got a spare prayer, I would appreciate it.. sending love to all xx

Good morning sober friends. I had a little time confusion this morning but am happy that I got out of bed at 5:30 as usual.
What a week this has been- I knew Reiki would change my life but I didn't realize the ways. Here are the changes I have made so far, since my attunement/first class on Tuesday- changes that have come about naturally without my effort.
1) I deleted FB from my phone.
2) I stopped watching my trashy reality BRAVO TV.
3) I am coming to terms with the possibility that my marriage is over and for the first time this feels "okay" and not devastating. Like it's just a fact of life, and that there is nothing wrong with it. I'm not ready to talk to him about it as I wonder if these feelings are valid or not. I will give it 6 more months of spiritual development to see where this takes me. For now my focus is to be kind and respectful of him, despite my lack of romantic feelings.
4) I took a bite of a piece of pizza, intending to start a carb binge and said out loud, "I don't want to do this anymore." I then put it back in the fridge. I have stopped a binge maybe 1 time in my last 14 years of this addiction. It felt good, I felt strong and capable and I can only pray that this repeats itself. I don't want to be that person anymore.
I want to start journaling my changes as they occur, so one day I can remember where I started from. I know this is not going to be an easy road ahead but I do believe it's my path and that I am about to truly discover who it is that I really am.
Love to all, Happy Sunday...

I love your changes.....love the deleting FB (from your fone) and reality TV, and love love love putting that pizza back in the fridge. I'm actually surprised you didn't throw it out.... That was nice of you.
I think you are making every right decision....it feels that way to me anyway.
Every one....and I can see your shining light so brightly.....I do believe this is a magic new beginning for you. ♥

Last night I went to a birthday party with some old friends. No one was that drunk, but conversation got a bit tedious and repetitive, which was good to observe - helps me strengthen my own sober muscles.
There was a girl I'd never met and because we were both sober we had a really interesting conversation about spirituality and psychology. And then a guy who I haven't known that long asked me what I was drinking. I said it's orange juice and soda. He said, it looks really good, and then he went and ordered one. I was really pleased, it felt like it had given him permission to have a soft drink!
So, anyway, I am in for 24. Looks like a nice day, got my window open, about to head out. WHAT is better than not being hungover on a Sunday!
Have a good day all. Well done milestoners, well done Mums. And love to anyone having a tough time. It'll pass. Always does
