I've very stressed. I craved a drink this week. I looked at that package store and thought about it. Didn't do it, but I thought about it. More than once. But I know I'd turn into a useless blob and would just add to her stress so I can't.

Right now, my wife doesn't have the best attitude. I'm working hard to change that. I've decided to tape an inspirational quote to the mirror daily. As I was collecting the quotes last night, I realized that so many of them apply to all of us here. So whatever quote gets taped to our bathroom mirror each day, will get taped here. Here is #1.


I need 24 today. Just another 24 please.

I haven't seen that level of excitement since crazy mummy bought a puppy! We've been saving for 2 years for this 3 week trip .... all my drinking money has gone into the holiday fund... and now it's only 104 more sleeps until we go!! Can. Not. Wait.

Hope everyone is ok, sending lots of love to you all. Congrats to everyone celebrating a milestone today. 24 more for me please xxxx

Leigh- I will not share the news my other aunt gave me last week...but most of my life I thought there was some sort of emotional cancer in my foo...eating away at our combined mental health. I am finally able to understand a lot. As a kid- I thought all the dysfunction was because for me, thus I was a bad person. Knowledge IS power. I cannot change the past- but now I understand more clearly- as an adult with (getting there) adult emotions...I can accept, then perhaps let go. Early days.

Please count me ALL in for another 24 hours of freedom. Congratulations to our fabulous Milestoners!! That's a nice long list!! :You_Rock_.

(((Goose))). Hugs & prayers for you & Mrs. Goose. You're doing the best thing for both of you by staying sober. :grouphug: Love the idea of positive posts for her and us!! Thank you.
My hubby has a terminal illness and there is no way I could care for him or me if I drank. No way! Sobriety allows me to focus on living our best possible life right now.

Hugs, peace, strength and love to all....xxxx
