Thank you Dee and Sunflowerlife for the kind words! I survived driving the big truck- put on my big girl pants on and handled it. It was kinda fun surprisingly. We are buried in boxes and can’t find anything but that’s just fine. So happy to be in our new home away from the drinking memories. Even my cats are acclimating well. I am shocked!
Plenny I really enjoyed reading your post, wise words, thankyou for sharing
And thanks for the reminder of the awful anxiety of hangovers, I’m in an airport waiting for my next plane and the bars all around have the AV whispering. Despite my close call yesterday and my reading my withdrawal diary to remind me yesterday why not to drink, I really needed another reminder why NOT to drink right now while I’m surrounded by bars... , thankyou ❤️ xx

Good morning all. Thank you all for you sweet words of encouragement.
This panic thing is actually from her dad. He has it and so does his mum. Thing now is she is anxious waiting for it to come again especially in the evening. But we will get there and find ways of managing it. I will get her to the docs too. This is the thing about being a mum. As they get older the challenges grow up too. At least she is talking about it and not bottling it up.
Here's to another sober 24 for us all. Warts and all we don't have to run to a bottle to hide from our troubles. That poison holds no answers and in reality no comfort either.
Haha that reminds me last night we had a meal out in a nice pub. Without thinking I said to my sister "I'll carry this lemonade you bring the poison!" Oops!
Thank you again I will reread your comments to give me the strength for later ❤❤❤

I love my kids. I love excitement. I love getting ready to go on holiday. But .....if I hear 'how many hours til we get on the plane?' one more time ..... I fear I may curl up inside one of the suitcases and hide. I just found my 7 year old son sitting on his packed suitcase, holding his hand luggage bag and his comic, fully dressed, wearing shoes and sunglasses and telling me, 'mum, I'm ready to go to the airport.' I replied, 'that's lovely darling, but our plane doesn't leave for another 6 days'. If anyone's interested, it's 145 hours until we get on the plane. I know this because I get asked a zillion times each day. But as I say, I love my kids and I love excitement which is just as well as I've got 145 more hours of this pre-holiday frenzy before we even set off for the airport. And I can't blame my kids as they've got me as a mother and the truth is....I'm probably more excited than all of them! I've booked our fast pass rides at Disney and created an itenary for whilst we're away..... I'm ready and raring to go. Just need to get through the next 145 hours.....
Prayers and support to everyone having a tough time. Wish I had some words of wisdom. From my experience, feeling the bad stuff somehow seems to help in clearing the bad stuff. Sometimes there are no easy answers .... we just need to feel it. Meditation always helps me. Slowing the mind down a little seems to help get the important stuff into perspective. I think of meditation as getting beneath the chatter. And sometimes I need to get beneath the chatter to work out the best way to proceed.
Just realised that I celebrate 1 year and 9 months of sobriety today. Couldn't have got to this point without all of you. I'm so grateful to have you all in my life. Congratulations to everyone celebrating a milestone today .... 24 more hours for me please ..... and in 24 hours there will be 121 hours til we get on the plane. . . Just saying xxxxx

Kenton... maybe you should add a few hours every time he asks. See if he notices.
So many people struggling today. Hang in there all of you. Things will get better. Sometimes it takes a while, but things will get better.
I need 24 today

24 more please & thanks.
Just realised I have made it to day 11, had a few AV close calls, but the truth is I want sobriety more than I want short term relief today and that is an absolute MIRACLE. Tonight is my Step group meeting and its Step 1, how totally and utterly apt for me.
I am struggling with a weird brain fog, but after all it's been through with my poison I have to accept the side effects of my mind and body doing their best to repair the damage.
I am feeling very fearful about "stuff" but nothing I can do right now about that except to keep the AV in check,go to meetings,my rehab group and for now simply be grateful & that'll do me nicely for today.
Plenny & Jo sending lots of love.
Kenton hope your holiday is fabulous & you enjoy making more precious family memories.
Congrats to milestoners & much Love to all of you wonderful 24'ers & Thank you for being here. SP
