That's exactly what I was thinking.

Citrus honey ~ I am so sorry about the fight and the whole thanksgiving nightmare.

I think you need to take care of YOU today, and if that means not going.....stay home with me.....we shall have a fabulous girls' day....I have lots of bits and pieces planned that I never get around to, and they include clothes and jewellery and makeup....oh yeah.... And magazines....Rolling Stone and Time.

I hope when you are ready, you can have another chat with your man about this, and maybe he will understand and perhaps next year you could have TG at your house, your way? Maybe.

So much love....not drinking with you and all of you today and every day. We got this.

Well done on making it back here Shitzu, not everyone does
4 days is great!
I had over a year sober and then drank again too. Thankfully I didn’t get lost in the wilderness for too long, but I could see how easily I could have slid back down, and even further than before, if I hadn’t nipped it in the bud and dragged myself back to SR.
SR really is a lifeline for me to stay sober!

Well done on 26 days soberbythesea

40 fabulous days Taplow!



I’m starting day 16 with coffee, yoga and a walk on the beach before work

Huge shoutout to our darling Citrus....I am a tad worried.....huge hugs beautiful one. ❤️

Willow00

Aww love you too Suze

Yes Citrus please check in and let us know how you’re going
When I’m overwhelmed I just want to sleep too.
And sometimes I do just take myself off to bed no matter what time of day it is.
If I can’t sleep I lie in bed and read a book.
Sending you lots of support

K.....double shout out to Citrus.
Maybe she will hear us Willow?

Gosh I love you sweetheart. ❤️


ohohoh I see Red.
That makes me mega happy. s

Day 1 (again) for me. I was supposed yo go to Mexico and spend Thanksgiving with my husband to visit a friend for the holiday. I got so drunk before boarding the plane that they would not let me board. We chose to come home rather than stay overnight and take another flight. I had slipped and fallen in the airport and cracked my head open. They took me to the ER and of course I got information on alcoholism, along with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Needless to say, I did not make it to Mexico. I am SO disgusted with myself....and talk about "incomprehensive demoralization"!!! My husband has had it. If I don't get sober, I think he will leave me (after 23 years). My girlfriend in Mexico does not want me to come to visit until I am SOBER. Neither does my daughter. I need help from this relapsing!

venuscat

Oh love......just mega mega hugs and support and gosh we understand. s

This could have easily been me. Or many of us. We are with you every step.
Absolutely. Thank God you are alright....I hope so.....I know you will be.....right now....the fact that you had the courage to come post....I am overwhelmed with emotion and you already know I adore you.....let us all help you.

Huge hugs. Healing love. And try not to worry....your husband loves you and just needs you to be ok. ❤️❤️

And....sometime we get the wake-up call from somewhere awful.....this might be yours.
It is so awful and painful....I really do get that. s
But this never has to happen again.
You can take your power back love. xx

Popping in to say hi and I'm fine. I took my kids to that movie yesterday afternoon and froze through the entire thing. Let my oldest son drive home even though he didn't have his permit on him because I was feeling so yucky. I came in and pulled 2 big blankets over me and pretty much slept (except for a couple of times of briefly being woken by the kids asking me questions) until 10:30 this morning and I was only up for about half an hour for some water and to change into something comfier. I think the fever that I was running has broke. But I am still feeling hot and cold and yucky. But sober.
Last time I ventured out of our room I noticed hubby has beer.
I should have known I was getting sick from the good cry I had yesterday.

I'll catch up with posts now. Happy Thanksgiving and love to you all!

No drinking here. Interestingly enough, my dad, sitting about two feet away from me, was musing about getting a glass of wine (we ate out), and then my sister piped up about "a pint," but no one else chimed in and they dropped the idea, not that it would have made any difference for me. In any case, I thought it was interesting. . . I'm starting to think this runs in the family.
They probably don't know about my struggles. I kept my drinking secret and they don't know just how bad my addiction was.

Just love. s ❤️

Two of six adults were not drinking at our Thanksgiving gathering, not a bad ratio I guess. Day 18 down, I hope everybody had a nice holiday.
