Late check in.
Decent day at work but overate once I got home. I think eating in the car on the drive home was the trigger. I didn’t have a ton of sugar so that is progress but I feel like I failed nonetheless. Can’t get my mojo back for some reason.
Oh well - not giving up.
Goodnight. Grateful to be sober and working on my abstinence from binge eating.

I am starting to really feel the new lease on life that I have... Dropping the facade I held up for so many years and starting to live in the truth feels very good.
I reconnected with my dad today... I apologized to him for not staying in touch and promised to stay in touch much more regularly. He really needs my help now, and I am going to be there for him.
My mom is suffering from Alzheimer's and my dad is her full-time caretaker. It's too much for him, really, and I don't want to let him do it alone anymore.

Condolences Willow. I’m very sorry for the loss of your mom.
Tonight I get on a plane and fly north.....I’ll be a little closer to the moon than normal!
Sitting in first class and the old me loved to have a drink in the air. Don’t miss it.
Another 24 hours please.
Love and support to all,
Lillian

Today was our first day of vacation, which meant a day of flying. LAX to Fort Lauderdale. Tomorrow we drive to Orlando. No Parks. Staying at a beautiful golf resort till our Caribbean cruise leaves Sunday.
Our little sober family hasn't had a vacation together since August 2013. I was 8 months sober and we spent 2 weeks in Vegas. Which was totally fun .... lots of Cirque shows, museums, toured every major hotel in the touristy zones. Absolutely no desire to "join in" with the drinkers. Even in early sobriety. Truly grateful to my HP!!
I'm checking in for my next 24 here in GREEN Florida!! No, our son isn't working. It's a different cruise line too. He gets to kick back and be a guest for a week!!

So desperately sorry for your loss Willow. I'm thinking of you and sending you all my love and support. Wish I could do or say something to help you .... I'm here and always available to talk if you ever need someone to talk to or someone to listen. Your mum would be so very proud of you today and always ... we all are. We love you Willow and we're here whenever you need us xxxx

Ooh Bobbi - we'll both be in Orlando at the same time! Hope you and your family have a great holiday. Kennedy Space Centre blew my tiny mind today and naturally I now want to be an astronaut. Apparently they had about a billion applications when they last recruited and took on 12 new astronauts so the odds are stacked against me but I always think it's good to dream big. And how clever are those rocket scientists?? Last week they sent a robot to the sun!! Apparently the robot is going to reach the sun in November. How can people make this happen?? I got lost walking back from the pool yesterday but somehow this robot knows how to get to the sun. It's incredible. And humbling. My kids have spent the whole evening making rockets out of empty water bottles .... it's lovely how the trip to the Space Centre has sparked their imaginations .... not so lovely when the water-bottle-rockets are launched straight into my face but can't fault these baby rocket scientists for their enthusiasm. 24 more for me please xxxx

I got to my 100 days (which was something I have really set as a major milestone for myself) on Tuesday but it slipped by unnoticed totally.
I wonder if my Mum somehow knew although I never told her, but she knew so much more than I ever knew. Sadly she passed away, but beautifully and peacefully, after a couple of days of saying our farewells, the hardest thing I’ve ever had to bear. It was pretty much exactly to the hour of my 100 days since I stopped drinking.
I loved her to bits and I will forever miss her but I am so grateful that she went with love, acceptance, peace and dignity, surrounded by her loving family ❤️ RIP my beautiful mama ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I will be back sometime soon, but will be a bit busy for a little while,
Catch up soon
Love and support to you all ❤️❤️❤️
