I had a really rough day today. Just starting to feel better but have not packed for tomorrow and just feel really overwhelmed. Very nervous about driving a 26 foot truck. It’s going to be very expensive to move but I’m sure it all work out .

My best to everyone in my class. I love you all

Ok. Here’s the funny so far folks:

This is the troublemaker at this little airport in western Colorado.


The security authorities here were asking if I had any food in my bag. I said yes, “some bacon!“
He said, “you have bacon?“ I said “Yes, I have bacon…“. He said, “well we will have to confiscate that!“

He had me pull it out and put it into the bucket to go in with my shoes and my purse. Then he shouted, “hey everyone! She has bacon in here!“

The whole airport laughed and as you can see, this is a very very small airport .



And I got to keep my bacon!😍

That's very funny, Free, and I'm glad they realized somebody has to bring home the bacon.

Thanks for the smile Free and Guener

I’m struggling a bit this weekend. Lots of tears, missing Mum. The AV is hassling me quite a bit to anaesthtise my sadness in wine but I am trying to make it leave me alone for a while. I’m going to a yoga class this morning. I’ll post more a bit later

I know your mum would not want you sad, or drunk Willow.
Remember the good times - they're always there in your heart

Thanks Dee, I know you’re right, and I’m trying. It’s just a really emotional time, everywhere are Mother’s Day gift ideas and it all reminds me that Mum’s gone... but I’m trying to remember the good moments ❤️

First anniversaries are always the hardest, Willow. Things do get better so hang on in there!

Thanks John, I figured the first everything will be the worst... I just ate a heap of chocolate. I feel a little better with some comfort food although the sugar might keep me awake lol. At least the AV has shut up for now. I’m off to bed. I’m really tired and I know that doesn’t help my emotional state. Night night everyone ❤️

Hi Bumble,

Congratulations on reaching one year sober, that is so wonderful.

Well done!

Onwards and upwards.

Mom was discharged from the hospital yesterday afternoon, and I stayed the night with her to make sure everything would be okay. Tomorrow I will go back out for Mother's Day and bring her some more groceries with foods that she can eat. I'm grateful that she is on the mend.

I'm doing some house chores today to keep myself occupied, and the place needed some attention. It's better for me to have things in order around me. The cats really hate the vacuum, though!

Willow, we will be thinking of you as you have the first anniversary of your loss of your mum.

A shout out goes to all of us on the sober way of living our lives in a way that moves us forward instead of what we once knew.

I’m so glad your Mom’s on the mend Guener, and that you’re spending Mother’s Day with her ❤️
I’m ok, there will be tears but I’m trying to remember the beautiful things and special times with Mum ❤️

Thanks Dee, it’s a really beautiful day here too I’m going out with my sister and family later today. Right now I’m enjoying coffee and chocolate biscuits for breakfast in the sunshine. I’m going to eat Mum’s favourite treats all day in memory of her. Luckily I don’t have a weight problem.

I'm so happy to hear that you had a lovely day as remembrance on Mother's Day, Willow. I'm sure that times were a bit emotional, too, but that's okay. Happy Mother's day to all you moms out there!

That should have read have a good day with your Mom Guener, not Om

Thanks Dee, can hardly believe it’s been a year since I’ve had a drink! Wow
It feels pretty darn good actually

-- for you, Willow, on your first anniversary, to celebrate a year of great accomplishment. Purple flowers represent dignity, pride and success.

Thanks so much Guener. That’s so thoughtful and lovely
It’s been a roller coaster ride of a year but I’m so grateful to have got through it sober. Thanks to you aMAYzing class of May for your support. I really appreciate you all and I couldn’t have gotten here without you guys

And a huge thank you to Dee for being a constant source of wisdom and guidance. I really appreciate your support, and especially so knowing you’re “just down the road” in Australia gives me a sense of connection and support close by.

Hugs to you all on my one year soberversary
