Really pleased you did that Bailey love. 
I was thinking Friday was a bit too far away....
And I think it will be really good.....you will talk to your doctor and he/she will help you decide if you need meds and or counselling....
Thinking of you and sending more love. ♥

Hope it went/is going/goes well at the doctor's Bailey.
It's 9.40pm here and I'm snuggled up with a hot chocolate. My husband always plays sports on Monday nights so on Monday nights I used to get the kids to bed and then start drinking. Just because my husband was out. I'd set an alarm on my phone and hide the wine bottle and get into bed and pretend to be asleep just before he got back. Then I'd wait until he fell asleep and then get back up and start drinking again. That's what happened when my plan worked. Often it all went wrong and he'd come back and find me drinking and then I'd start an argument with him for reasons neither of us ever understood because my reasons never made any sense. Other times he'd get up in the night and find me secretly drinking. That situation made me super defensive and always ended up in an argument too. Regardless of whether my Monday night plan worked or not, one thing was certain. Tuesday morning was always horrible. Monday nights are so much easier these days! Hot chocolate, Netflix, no arguments, no sneaking around in the middle of the night and no hangover tomorrow morning. My old Monday night routine seems completely crazy to me now but it's good to remember it. It's good to remember that not that long ago, it made perfect sense.
Love to everyone and 24 more for me please xxx

I know I blab on and on about this....I am such a pain....but kent.....why don't you start a recovery blog.../with dog.....you will get major advertisers. You are currently my favourite author.....seriously.....
....and apart from the rave, what you just posted resonated just so strongly with me....sure, I didn't have a husband when I was drinking, but I had boyfriends, and gosh it went like that....your writing is such a poignant reminder. Everything you write grips me (us) and is just mesmerising.
OK....bossy Suze out. For now.

Kenton - I appreciate the reminder of those horrific days - I carried on in much the same way. It really helps to recall the insane life we once lived - and somehow justified! Never again.
On that note I will take another 24 sober ones, please!

I was in hell all through my drinking....by my own hand....so I never had anything to justify. I was constantly aware that my life was a sham. I had nothing. Absolutely nothing. No job, no partner, I lived in virtually a hovel....I was going downhill at the speed of sound in a forest, because somehow nobody could hear the impending crash.
I tell the truth here: if not for SR I would be dead. I was almost gone....and then I found hope and love and belief here.
Today I whine about the weather and gosh marriage is hard....life stuff...1st world problems to the max....
...I have hope. I have love. I have faith. I have sobriety. I have recovery. I have all of you. I have my future.
So....I am thinking today is a very good Monday.....no matter how it started.

That’s right folks - EDT as in Daylight Savings Time is finally here! No more driving to and from work in the dark and actually be able to spend time in my back yard...however we will feel a bit of jet lag in the AM but it will be worth it to have play time outside after work

I do know that staying sober is the best thing I can do for myself though. Here’s to another sober day!

So glad we aren't the insane bartenders anymore....boy do I have a story for you.
