12:03 pm and quick check in during my lunch. I just had delicious Chicken Tortilla soup from Costco, which is only 2 WW points per cup, and now having a some grapes for dessert. I reached my goal weight two weeks ago, and I’m now one pound below. I would like to lose a few more pounds prior to the holidays just to have a little cushion.
Thanks for all of your kind words about my post about my brother. The good thing is we live 3000 miles apart. I didn’t speak to him for several months this past year, and I’m kind of at that point again. I am very blessed to have an amazing family, incredible friends, and a great SR family as well, no need for drama!
Hope everyone is having a great day.
❤️ Delilah

There are no right words I can say, just send love and support ❤️
I lost both my Mum and Dad last year, and for both, the doctors decided not to treat them. It was heart wrenching and the absolute hardest and saddest thing I’ve ever had to bear. I didn’t drink throughout it all and for that I’m very grateful. Sadly, I slipped up recently around the anniversary of their moving onto Heaven and drank. But it only made me sadder.
I know you’re going through an awful time. Last year was the toughest year of my life. I’m sending you lots of love and support and big hugs ❤️

24 more for me please, I like to keep my name on the list 🙂
To try and stay calm, thoughtful and kind throughout the day is my promise to myself.
Doing ok, learning all the time, taking responsibility and building on my foundations, just one day at a time.
Wishing peace and love
James

24 please. No word on my mother’s prognosis yet, we had a curve ball. Had to call an ambulance last night for something unrelated: pneumonia. Yikes. Spent night at hospital and no work today. Was really fretting about it all but actually, this can be treated immediately, is mild, and was causing many things that we all thought were cancer-related. She’s a bit better with a day of oxygen and other meds. Even smiled at me a bit. 
Still some very scary stuff ahead but this twist was actually better (oddly enough), and we have another doctor communicating with the one she was supposed to travel to see today.
I’m totally going to quit agonizing—I have no idea what’s going to happen next and know I can only do today. Just today. There’s so much peace in knowing that. I’m resting and will take a shot at going back to work tomorrow.
Many thanks and lots of love.

❤️ You are very courageous and I really appreciate your presence here with us.No matter what, I can’t pick up. It has already crossed my mind as everything seems so futile sometimes.. but it won’t help. I need to be present both for my family, and even for me.
Much love and many thanks

Your very welcome Kenton & thanks for the compliment
I agree with you Trees that Thanksgiving will be a test, but as you’ve already said, it’s crucial that you protect yourself. If it’s beneficial in some way to your sobriety or the girls then yeah go ahead! Pray bout it & do what’s peaceful in your heart that day

Hi,
Delilah, "D", when my brother was alive I also had to "divorce" him from my life. Just a toxic & violent man. He had been like this since my childhood. Some folks are not wired "right". He was a narcissist, he never had the ability to see the world any other way. Add the physical & verbal violence .... NOPE. Blood or no blood relative. Sometimes Ties must be severed. He also was an alcoholic. Peace & RELIEF is what I felt since learning of his death. But ... yes ... sadness for my parents. He was their son.
Thankfully, your brother IS thousands of miles away. I personally believe you are doing the right action by putting yourself/your Recovery (& your Family) First. Much, much support & love to you my dear friend.
❤️❤️
Bobbi

Sooooo tired. 5:35am in the U.K. and not a
wink of sleep. Every time I nearly dropped
off the music in the flat below would get louder. Its
not loud enough for Environmental Health to get involved but loud enough to stop my sleeping.
We have chatted about this before and for 3
months it got better but reverted back to her old
ways.
So once she went off to bed I was wide awake. I put my hands up to being petty. My living room is above her bedroom. Usually if I’m up and I know she has gone to bed I turn the tv down as quiet as possible. At 2am this morning - the time she went to bed - I had The Walking Dead on really loudly!
The tiredness is not going to get me though. Another 24 hours of that wholesome sobriety for me with a slice of coffee with my mum later for good measure.
