Aww i'm so glad you could see that donny, i've been worrying all day in case you were offended. I know you'd be so disappointed in yourself if you drank and i'd be disappointed for you.
Mmmm lobster, i could just eat some!
Well i'm going to bed, sleep well all of you.

Hi folks. Oh yes, 9 weeks today. I won’t be writing a long one as I’ve gone and wore myself plum ragged. The acceleration has been a bit much for my system to handle. Again, I had a good day, but I’m tired out. I need to slow it down or take a full day and lie around.
I have a bum knee that acts up when it wants to. It’s not an injury or anything like that. I guess it gets fluid in there or something. It’s painful. Usually it’s a warning that I’m getting sick in some way. Lately it’s just been acting up. Today was nasty. Thank god there was ibuprofen here.
Coyotes or something were howling last night, and something huge got startled and went crashing through the woods when I closed my car door tonight. Not a deer. They don’t go smashing through things. This was a powerful animal. The only thing it could be was a black bear. He should have come to visit. I would have given him a nice pie 😀. I love it when it makes the news that a bear broke into a bakery at night and ate 100 pies. 😂 It’s too much.
I was at my parents and had to get something done in that musty basement. Wham! The headache and exhaustion started up. I was gone a bit later. So I know where this is heading. In the meantime, im going to attempt to make my section, or at least the bedroom, a clean zone.
Ok viper needs sleep.

Hi Kelley, I hope you're feeling better. I'm glad your daughter apologised to you but you're right, as hard as it is to stand by and watch, your daughter will have to learn the hard way like we all do. Makes you just feel like shaking them at times though. Take good care of yourself. xx
Erratic, I'm glad your laptop is sorted and I look forward to seeing more posts from you.
Hi Bluesey, conkers, ha ha, well a conker is the seed of a horse chestnut tree, it's like a hard, brown nut in a prickly green casing. The green casing turns brown and cracks open revealing the conker inside, which fall from the tree in Autumn when they are ripe. Conkers is also the name of an ancient traditional game in Britain, played by two people at a time. Children collect the conkers , make a hole through the middle of them and thread a string through, tying a knot at one end. Each player has a conker on it's string and take turns in hitting the other's conker. The winner is the conker that hasn't been smashed to smithereens.
I wish I could send you some of our rain, once it starts here it doesn't know when to stop!
I watch very little on t.v so no I can't say I'm watching or following anything in particular at the moment. When I do watch t.v, I like drama's and 'fly on the wall' documentaries but I never seem to sit still long enough to watch much. I'm more of a reader, I like a good thriller though I'll read anything and everything.
Conkers....
Right, I'm off to bed again. Night night. xxxx

Bluesey, I admire your honesty in your application. To thine own self be true. And you were. I hope you get it. They would really be taking on an amazing woman!
kgirl awww sorry about what happened with your daughter. Alcohol is evil and just wants to destroy everyone in its path. I have been so mean to my mum under the influence. I feel awful about it. I even pushed her once and she went down on the floor. I was horrified, even in my alcohol induced state. I can never take that back but I can make my amends daily to her by staying sober and being the best daughter I can be. I am so glad you didn't drink but I have heard this said in meetings,,....The f*#k it moments. Like, I knowcan't drink "normally and actually I don't even want to. I just want to get truly blotto and not feel anything and not deal with anything and those "I'll show you "moments. But you did the right thing, you knew that it wouldn't help the situation, only make things a million times worse and as Daisy said you were there to be a sober nanny for your grand-daughter. I am so proud of you!!
Viper, you sound great, keep going my friend.
Erratic, getting to the gym sounds good!
Dee, am glad you have no health issues at the moment and I too loved the vase post {feeling emotional**
Donny, thank you for your lovely words. Right back at you!! 💖
Daisy, a holiday away with your hubby sounds perfect. Please don't feel guilty , I know it is only because you are a nice person, but you are entitled to go away just yourself and your husband. You took your mum away already which was a lovely thing to do. I am hereby granting you permission to remove that guilt and go and have a great time!!!
All ok with me. Life is getting better and better. I walked past a pub yesterday and had a slight pang , I loved Sunday drinking, but I said to myself you wouldn't be feeling as alive and as happy as you do now if you were doing that, it wasn't really about the socialising it was just about getting as much alcohol in you as possible. And then I moved on!!
My eating is going well, still no dairy, wheat or diet coke but my shopping addiction. Whoops. Went into town yesterday and bought a jumper, Cardigan and a jacket and then got me daughter a build-a-bear with a matching outfit and little shoes! We both left town laughing and happy with our new buys . Well I can't kick all my addictions at once can I???!!!😂😂😂😂
Have a great day everyone.

. Oh, I so relate to Sunday drinking. Brunch was my favorite. Mimosas and then off to the races. I always hated myself on Monday morning though and that’s what we have to keep drilling deep in our subconscious. The aftermath. The endless possibilities of negative consequences. The feeling that our soul has been sucked out of our bodies (until we add more alcohol and become alive again - momentarily!). It’s good to share about those pangs walking by places you used to frequent. It’s funny how the brain still associates pubs and bars with shiny, positive experiences ?! What a crock! It’s all an illusion. Have a lovely day!

It's another middle of night post because I can't sleep for over thinking! All stuff that I can't do anything about at 2.30 in the morning, but I can't turn my brain off. It's mainly stuff about my son and the lies he's telling his lady love, she believes them, he believes them even, but I KNOW they are lies and I know all about the heartache and devastation he has caused to myself and everyone he has had any form of a relationship with . She phoned me this evening and she was going on and on and on about how my poor son is trying to get his life back on track and how mean everyone is to him, including his family. Just feeling a bit down. I must have said the serenity prayer about 50 times tonight.
Anyway, changing the subject completely, I went out for dinner with my oldest friend, we've been friends from being 16, we had a carvery and whilst ordering she asked if we were having wine, for a fleeting moment, just one moment, I was tempted to order a glass, she did for herself, but I knew that I could have one with her but on the way home I would have nipped into the local late shop and bought a bottle to sneakily drink at home and that would put me back on the slippery slope. I ordered a lime and soda, but just for one moment I was tempted.
Glad Pepper was okay Erratic and I'm very glad that your husband will be okay about the gym. I'm sure you will bear in mind what happened in the past and make sure it doesn't happen again. I don't think for one moment that you are a mental head case, you are just perfectly imperfect like the rest of us.
I hope your psychiatrist's appointment goes well.
Aww Suze, what a complete pain, but do you know what? I can relate so much to that post, because that is EXACTLY the sort of thing that happens to me, all the time. Seriously. I'm rubbish at standing up for myself, I really could do with going on an assertiveness course. Your mum is completely right in what she said and fingers crossed it all gets sorted for you.
Okay, I'm going back to bed now, hopefully I'll get some sleep. G'night all. xxxxx

Sooo, lovely Daisy - you made the right choice for yourself and all your loved ones. I’m absolutely sure that you didn’t wake up and regret your choice of lime & soda 😉.

Morning all.
I was having a real bleurgh day yesterday. I don't know what it was but I just couldn't snap out of it. The good thing is no matter how crap I feel drinking is not an option anymore. The sweet relief the first and second drink brings is a lie anyway and then I will never stop and it will be exactly the way Blusey described (amazing writing btw!!)
So I just had to sit through it all. Of course,I could have tried to turn my thinking around and write a gratitude list and go do something that would be good for me but NO, I wanted to wallow! Lol And wallow I did. And I got to bed early and today is new day.
In sobriety I am realising my moods can be very up and down. One minute I can be super happy and positive and the next I can be feeling really worthless and everything is ****. It's ok though, because I need to experience the real me and my real feelings and learn healthy coping mechanisms to deal with them.
I called the company about my washing machine and they are gonna send someone to re fit it. One area of my life I am going to work on is my assertiveness. There is a one day course I found but it is £250. Quite alot of money I don't really have at the moment but I would like to do it. There are lots of helpful things on the internet though. The problem is if I let people walk over me it then affects my self esteem and self worth and I end up feeling worthless, angry and resentful and these are big no no's for an alcoholic like me as I know where they can take me. "To thine own self be true."That is my motto now in sobriety.
Today, I am off to my meeting and am starting step work with my sponsor. Looking forward to it but I feel like I need some fun. Any suggestions on some fun things to do??
Daisy well done for sticking to your lime and water!!! That is the first time I have heard you say you felt a bit of an urge to have a drink? You did well!
School run now. Catch you all later x x

Good morning Aprils on this very blustery, wintry morning. I hope you're all well, happy and sober. I've actually been for power walk this morning, thought it was about time I started boosting my steps up and getting a bit of exercise.
Had bit of a shock last night, I came in from picking my g.son up to find both my little budgies dead in the bottom of their cage. I'm totally mystified. I've really looked after them, they were both 2 and really healthy, I got up yesterday morning, cleaned them out, gave them fresh seed and water and a bit of salad as I do everyday, talked to them etc and they were totally fine. Lulu the kitten doesn't have access to them, so I can't blame her, all I can think is that they've had a bad batch of seed! I'm very sad, they gave me a lot of pleasure and one in particular was very tame and could talk.

Congrats on 9 weeks, totally awesome. You've come so far in that time and overcame a lot of obsticles in your way.
A pie eating bear!! Ha ha, the mind boggles.
Be careful with any cleaning fluids you may use when cleaning that mould, some of them can be detrimental to the health. I use white vinegar a lot for cleaning as it's a natural antiseptic and it's non toxic, but I don't know how it would work on mould. Be careful.
Hi Bluesey, lovely to see you posting, as always. Glad you liked the conker pics, thank you. Yes, you're right, I could have had a storm brewing and I'm very grateful to have played the tape and chosen lime and sober. I loved the way you describe the magic carpet ride, spot on. I can never forget that I am only ever one drink away from going back to square one and I'm not prepared to do that. I want to stay sober. Period.
Hi Suze, hope today is a better day for you and the sooner you get that washer sorted the better. O.M.G I so need to work on my assertiveness, I just don't have any, I think I spoke about it yesterday. I am far too much of a people pleaser and find it so hard to say no, but I am working on that.
I hope you're meeting goes well and I hope you find some fun things to do. You'll have to tell us what sort of things you like doing then we can have a think.
I have had the occasional urge to drink and I'm pretty sure I've mentioned it here, but it is very occasional and I think that's because I have had several consecutive longish periods of sobriety, this is why I must be very careful not to get complacent. This is also why I can't get too excited about my current sober time because, for me, I feel like the real battle will commence when I get to 12 months. Hope that makes some sort of sense.
Suze many congratulations on an awesome 150 days sober.
Morning Erratic and thank you. It's so good to read that you woke up hangover free, it's a good feeling isn't it and it's good to be productive too. You're sounding great today, keep it up. You've made me want a curry now, writing about it.
It's very wild and windy here now, fingers crossed the slates stay on my roof.
That's it for now, have a good top of the hill day.
Thought for the day....

Hello my April peeps!!!
Thinking of you all! Things are kinda crazy right now ! Between work and now homework and football ..... Not much time in a day ! On the bright side my boss gave me the morning of on Sunday to take my kids to the waterpark ! Had to be in work at 5 but it was a nice day out!
Sending sobor love xx

Hey all.
Hope everyone is ok...
The days are flying by.l!!
I am in bed already. I am finding in sobriety I need alot of sleep if I am to feel good the next day. Lots of sleep and healthy food.
I am still going strong with no gluten and no diet coke but have caved with the dairy. Only with milk as I cannot live without my English breakfast tea!!! And only cows milk makes it taste good. So am buying organic and my skin does seem to be better although am not sure if related to no dairy or not.
Not much else to report. I went to my meeting this morning and did some step work with my sponsor and took my car to the garage. Life is ticking along but there isn't much excitement happening. Maybe that is for the best whilst I get used to not drinking anyway. I heard this today "we don't want drama; we want our pyjama" funny and true.!!.
Night all x x

Just checking in to say goodnight. I'm posting from my fire tablet as the mouse isn't working on the laptop and I can't be doing with using the control panel.
It's been very quiet on here today so I'm hoping you're all okay.
See you in the morning. Sleep well. X

Morning!
Aww Daisy I am so sorry to read about your buddies 😥 it does sound very strange. Maybe it was something they ate? At least you have little Lulu to comfort you.
How was your curry Erratic? I love hot curries!
How was the wedding Donny? I think it was yesterday? I hope you had a great time and managed to stay sober. Speaking of weddings, when is yours coming up???!!!
It's very grey and blustery here today. My ex is taking my daughter into school. He asked me last night if he could. Thank God he isn't taking her in because I am too hungover to. So, so, sooo many mornings I would text him and ask him to take her in and I would suffer the hour that I had to make her breakfast and packed lunch and get her ready before I could flop back into bed. It was so awful. I am immensley grateful that it is not that way today.
Have a fab day all. I have 2 meeting a today and am gonna do a workout this am seeing as I have time and pop into town. Nothing majorly exciting but as you said Daisy, it is nice to have zero drama and lots of peace lol
Catch you all later!

I trust you meant my budgies and not buddies! Lol. Thank you, yes it's very odd. I'm missing them chatting and chirping.
Is Donny getting married ?? Do you know something I dont? Do I need to start saving for a hat?
Anyway, enjoy your free time when your daughters daddy does the school run. Have a great, drama free day. Xxxx
Say cheese!
