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 100 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 felt 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 disappointed in me!
See ya in a bit, happy Friday and stay strong!
Love

7:44 pm in California and checking in for another 24. Went and got tests done this morning to be ready for my surgery next week, and then spent the rest of the day at the beach with the kids.
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.❤️

Kenton,
I’m so glad to hear you’re a writer! Because your talent shines through in your posts. I love nothing more than to curl up on the couch with a novel and a cup of tea, it’s my absolute favourite relaxing pastime 😊 I love all sorts of authors but especially those who write about serious or emotional heartfelt issues with a sense of irony and humour. I especially like Marianne Keys and Liane Moriarty, but I will read just about anything I can get my hands on 😊 I really hope I get a chance to read your work sometime, I bet it’s wonderful reading , good luck getting published! 😊

Another 24 for me please!
It’s Saturday afternoon here in the north of Australia, it’s a beautiful sunny day and I’m relaxing at home with a great book, with a view of a blue blue sky out the open window and a lovely cool breeze.... in my happy place 😊😊😊
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 😊

I miss my Dad too. I think he would be proud of my 9 years sober today.
It's 4:36 AM and I'm in for the first day of another year sober.

You are one of the original folks here on SR, well, in my 5 years here. Thank you for being a great role model for me.

The facilitator of our Saturday morning Big Book Meeting shared that over the years he'd hear others comment : "Well, IDK, when my Mom dies, or IF he divorces me , or IF I get laid off my job etc etc..... when the topic was relapse, using, "going out".
To the facilitator he thought this was like making a 'reservation to drink' at some later date in time. And then he brought up the No Matter What concept. Because alcohol or your D.O.C., never makes the situation you are experiencing better. Usually it f**k's it up even more!!
Anyway, that was early on in my sobriety, and it made sense to me. It still does. Just wanted to share ....
