11:40 am and checking in for another 24. Started today with a four Mike walk at the lake, it's pretty chilly out here today, which is a nice change.
Congrats to all of our Milestoners, I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!

I took him to the gym child care yesterday so he can become comfortable with it before I attempt to leave him and loved it until I told him that I will be leaving next time- he says he doesn't want to go back now. He's almost 4 and still cries/gets sad during separations. He still even needs me to hold him around my parents and brother in law. He is very anxious at times and I respect that but I also crave the day when I can just say "bye" and walk away. Between the two of them it's been years of this anxiety separation and it just weighs heavy on my heart.
Anyway, I'm complaining again.
Here for 24 hours of freedom from the chains of alcohol. Really struggling on the food side of things and I haven't been able to get more than 3 days for a few weeks now. Still trying though, I'm not giving up...

Lots of school districts offer parent/child claases starting at 3 years old, that might be good for both of you this summer, or even as the school year starts.
If he likes computers the Microsoft store has free camps for the summer, the library is another good place for free activities.
The beach is always good for a few hours too.

Its 9am here in rainy UK. Please count me in for another 24 hours sober and clean. Today is my sister's birthday, she would have been 56 but sadly the alcohol took her life two years ago. Please don't go down that road people. Her death was actually a blessing because her life was so bad, isolated and alone she wouldn't see anyone or let anyone in her house. We still don't know how long she had been dead for before she was found. Very sad. I am busy today helping the local community through the church. Not sure what exactly we'll be doing but I will find out.
Have a good day everyone. Congratulations to those celebrating a milestone. My thoughts and prayers go out to those suffering and struggling.

Thanks jo 😊 I went to bed with a good book and the light was out before 8pm Saturday night 🤣
Juliet I’m so sorry to hear about your sister. It’s a wake up call for me at 50... I’ve been drinking daily for about 30 years and was getting to be quite antisocial, preferring to stay home and drink alone. I had to put a stop to it. My sister who is 56 is still drinking but has managed to reduce it to weekends now but I cannot seem to moderate like that. I’m so sorry about your sister, but I’m glad you’re here on SR and making the best of your life, and you’re really helping others by sharing your story. Thank you 🙏❤️
Sending love and support to everyone who is struggling xo
I’m just getting up now, starting day 35... 8am here and I’m in for another 24 please 😊
