Good morning all. I am finding it very difficult to post (or even linger) here as it makes me have to think about how I am. The last lot of ADs were another failure and I am weaning off for a third time. It is so difficult to carry on with my mum and employee duties when I feel so anxious and low. I am thinking about having a month's break from the medication to see what my base line symptoms are before rushing into another. See what the doc thinks next week. I am also a good 40 pounds overweight now. I simply cannot prize myself off the sofa to exercise. It's like I'm glued to it.
I am however grateful to still be sober. Not even tempted in any way. So there is certainly a positive.
So you see this is why I'm not posting. Moan moan moan...…..
But today (prompted by a very thoughtful message from Kenton - thank you darling) I will check in and commit to a day of sobriety and a dog walk. There! I've done it!
Lots of love to all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Checking in for another 24. Yesterday was so hard. Being a host of all 615 families when my ex doesn’t want any part of it was immensely hard. I had four directors sit next to me and he never once introduced himself. He also criticized just about everything he could. My parenting style. The backpack was too small, I used the wrong sunscreen. We won’t need a wagon. He doesn’t want to ride any of the rides. God forbid the girls have a second ice cream. I felt so low yesterday in a sea of happiness. It’s so hard to maintain this co parenting relationship when I constantly feel defeated. But I’m committed to not drinking today. I will exercise and go to work.

Good morning everyone, it's 6:58am here in Mississauga. Another 24 for me please and thanks!
Treesofgreen - I share custody with my ex, who's also a giant pain in the rear. She will make things difficult just for the sake of making my life more difficult, at the expense of our child. I constantly remind myself to keep my focus on my son. As long as everyone I do is in his best interest, then everything else is just background noise.
It's still difficult at times, but I can't let my ex and her chaos affect my happiness.
