Of course, this is all because I’m sober or I wouldn’t likely have been able to work so much, just the minimum at best. I’d be calling in sick, too.
I would not have stated my case as well in the audit. I would have looked much worse! Probably red, sweaty and bloated.
So, I’m still ok financially even without a reclassification. Because I quit drinking! I am going to be just fine, so I can relax. Happy.
Off super early to the northern part of Texas where it is absolutely no cooler than the 100F here, but where I have some dear friends that I haven’t seen in ages. I feel better about the trip and forgot about wanting to drink. I was anxious and stressed but rode it out and of course it went away. What a relief! Thank you for your help
Now, for the sprinkler project—I need to get out there now, the poor plants are expiring. Suze would be very
disappointed in me!
See ya in a bit, happy Friday and stay strong!
Love

Congrats to PJ! Let’s all have a sober one today.

I have real optimism that this summer Hannah and I will rekindle our relationship. And I have news 24ers! Yesterday when we were at the hairdressers I cheekily asked if they needed staff and the actually did so now Hannah has a job starting Thursday!!!! Only Saturdays and maybe the odd shift on top but still great news!
I can see as clear as anything the absolute massive difference sobriety is making not only in my life but in my girls lives too. I'm so utterly relieved and grateful to be where I am right now and this thread right here gave me the belief I could do it. I will never truly be able to repay you all it is sometimes overwhelming. Oops I'm leaking a little from the eyes as I type! Who cares?!
Lots of love to you all and yes I'll grab my 24 please!!!!!! ❤❤❤

Y'know, I'm thinking exactly the same waking up sober on a Saturday morning. Not waiting for my husband to wake up to find out if I'm in trouble. Not walking into a stinking disaster zone of a living room and spending my day stuffing my face and watching crap tv.
I'm so happy for you Jo. I always think you sound like such a great mum. Your girls are lucky to have you xxxx

Weev in for 24 more at 1:51pm I find it almost impossible to speak sometimes in the real world, it’s happened twice since I got sober, and that then extends to posting here. I didn’t speak for six months when I was small. Oh look I’m crying as I tell you all. Weird.
But I’m trying. Seeing my sponsor in a while and I will see what she thinks. A lot has happened this week that I can’t control, maybe I just fear the sky will come down if I express my opinion. Who knows?
Love you all though, and watching your journeys to enlightenment. What a thing to see. Love and prayers to All.

Got you zepp. ♥
Ahh weevie weevie weev....how I love you. And you are wise honey....no matter how you feel, you always push forward. Talking this through with your sponsor will really help I think. You are doing so much better than you realise, all of the time....you keep walking through the fear. You are pretty amazing I think. ♥♥

Checking in on a challenge day for me. A friend and I are going to a girls self defense seminar today than going to a local car rally and bbq. I am sure going to a bar will come up at some point. Will be my first sober outing without husband, I don't want to get to wrapped up in my brain though. Plan on ordering a 7up with lemon that should appease my AV, or **** it off and make it run away crying,,,, either way works.

9:54am. Day 11. Today is a risk day for me, but I am going to be busy for most of the day. The real risk will be tonight. I should be okay, even if my husband wants a drink. I don't want a hangover for his birthday!

Today my husband and I celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary, and will be together for 20 years in August. It definitely hasn't always been easy, but we've worked through the rough times, and come out stronger. I am blessed to be married to someone who is a great partner, and an incredible dad to our three kids. Feeling lucky tonight.❤️

#1- because I go off road/off grid- top off the gas tank or carry extra- I didn't, did become a concern after awhile.
#2 Topo maps= took them out when I cleaned car, didn't put back in, relied on sense of direction, prayer and guesswork to get to pavement. (see #1)
Saw some beautiful valleys and mountains though, Indian paintbrush is in full bloom, pictures do not do that flower justice.

I made it through “date night” at the pub last night without drinking. I had a delicious (but very sour) apple, lime, mint and cucumber juice while everyone around me was drinking beer, wine and spirits.... The only slightly uncomfortable moment was when the couple right next to us ordered a bottle of red to share... But then my husband ordered a beer and I ordered a sparkling mineral water and I turned sideways so I was facing away from their table...
Onwards and upwards 😊
