I don't think it matters when....

We always want another 24 hours of sobriety.

Sometimes I thank the universe as I go to bed, sometimes, like today, I am just grateful to wake up sober and I want 24 more hours of this.

Just so very glad you are back with us love.

So many emotions churned up for me at the moment. All associated with my mum. I'm irritating myself. Shouldn't I be over this already? I guess some wounds run deep. She called me yesterday and laid a big guilt trip on me because I hadn't contacted her on father's day. Eh? I have a father. He's dead. I visited his grave on Sunday. I have a husband who is father to our 4 kids. I made sure Sunday was all about him. Not sure why I was supposed to be making a fuss of my mother who never wants anything to do with me. I was polite on the phone. Apologised. For about the millionth time. What am I apologising for? Being born? Being me? Not being a mind reader and being the exact version of me she expects me to be? I recognized a long time ago that there is no emotional connection between us so I never lose my temper with my mother. I never speak my truth. I never tell her anything about me.
I listen. I apologise. I agree with whatever she's saying and then I carry on with my life. But after the conversation, that's when the emotions come. And right at the front of the queue as always is guilt. Why don't I have a better relationship with my mum? Why don't I want to see her? Why don't I make more effort? What's wrong with me? I'm choosing to stay with these emotions today. Choosing to work through them. Choosing to accept whatever I feel without judgement. It is what it is. And these feelings won't kill me. Drinking them away,.... that might. Love to everyone and 24 more for me please xxxx

Oh darling kent....I want to reach through the screen and hug you tight. ♥♥

What is wrong with you? NOTHING. Absolutely nothing.....except maybe your heart is too big and forgiving. Is that a character defect? I don't think so.

What I would imagine you feel (I would) after these type of calls is intense pain. Because you DO NOT deserve to be treated this way. With all due respect, (and sorry), your mum is not nice. Or motherly to you, at all. And I don't believe that just because she is your mother she gets carte blanche to treat you however she pleases. People are accountable....

Look at everything you do for her.....all you manage. And still you are hurt like this.

I think the way you handle it all is beyond admirable. You are very patient and such a good daughter. But I don't think you have to take this anymore. I think the huge feelings are your heart swelling in agony that is enough already....this is awful for you to have to take this. Sorry.....drama drama Suze...

It's just that we love you so very much, and this is not right.

My suggestion, is next time she does this ~ ask her to stop, or change the subject, and if she will not, then I would say: mum, I am hanging up now. I have things to do. Goodbye.

Really I would. And if she wants to talk to you again, she can be nice to you.

Huge hugs.

I'd be grateful for another 24 please..

Sobriety is the best medicine...I don't know how I survived for 20+ years, spending every waking moment obsessing and shaping my life over alcohol....

Love to you All & especially to those suffering today....

OK, good way of putting it. I hadn't thought of waking up sober. For me it's getting to the end of the day sober. I know it's true that we all want 24 hours, I just wondered how others viewed it. But your comment makes sense! Hugs back venuscat!

Good afternoon, everyone. I’ve been gone for a few days helping my brother and his wife move. They’re both hoarders. They had a moving company move all of their furniture. I got to help move all of the junk and garbage. They should’ve rented a dumpster. It would’ve been a lot quicker. In the middle of it all my dog got into some rat poison and, I had to run her into the vet. The dogs okay. The important thing is I stayed sober through it all.

Congrats to today’s celebrants and all who are sober today! My thoughts and prayers for all who are struggling no matter what the reason is. Let’s all make today a sober day.
