Hello everyone!
I feel so much better today. Really just been sleeping the last 24 hours but I think it has done me some good, so I wont feel guilty! A big congratulations to all our milestoners
I am so happy to have got through the first week and to still feel so positive. I had my first counselling session on Tuesday (well....first one for a while) and it was really good. It's alcohol counselling, so I felt really understood when I was talking about my drinking. It also made me realise how far I have come in the last couple of years. A least I am not blindly throwing wine down my neck, like I used to. I know I have a serious problem and its just taken this long to accept that and to know what to do.
SR has been a massive part of that, so thank you to you all.
I have my first step work meeting tonight at 6pm. I'm feeling excited and like I'm about to be given a gift - the gift of truely appreciating a sober life.
My hubby has also agreed to cut right down and to spend the time we have together sober. He has hidden his booze but I found it behind the spare bedding in the laundry cupboard.....
That's ok though, so long as I don't have to look at it all the time.
Much love and gratitude xxxx

24 more for me please..
Thanks Dee for the new thread, Venuscat for keeping the list and your kind words, always.
IcedVoVo, I feel you. I hope things ease up a little for you very soon. You’re very open and honest with your posts and I relate to them a great deal. We can’t rush things, I’m beginning to understand that now. I’d echo the sentiment that the only way of getting through things is to go through them.
Kenton, loved your post too.
Had a good day at work today, working on a farm in a village called Alderwasley in Derbyshire. Beautiful views and fresh air.
I went straight from work to go and meet my sponsor for coffee, chatted for an hour and let go of a few things that have been bothering me..
Got home and my Mum has been drinking, even though her and my stepdad pledged to do ‘sober October. I’ve come to bed out of the way and I need sleep.
Wishing peace and love. Things aren’t going great but I’m dealing with them.

James and wisc.....gosh stuff can be hard to deal with.
The only way I know how is honestly and openly.....airing our feelings and getting support and feedback. And then, one day at a time we begin to heal. ❤️ ❤️

Thank you my friend. I’ve mostly stopped expecting so much from me and everyone else..just accepting that things are tough and will be for a while. If all I can do is stay sober, eat, sleep, take care of the house, family things and work that’s enough. I usually do much more but these aren’t usual times. It will get better eventually. I appreciate your words very much. Genuine and eloquent.
24 for me. Need to read and ask for strength.
