It’s good that you’re here with us Trudgingagain. It sounds like you’ve been through the wringer. Sending lots of support to you. We’re all in this together and can help support each other to get and stay sober 
Good to hear from you Citrus, it sounds like your body needs lots of rest to get rid of whatever is bugging it. I hope you’re feeling much better soon. Well done on staying sober
18 days is great JimiC!
I’ve just been for a walk and a swim, although I only had a small swim as my neck is too sore for swimming. I think I need a new pillow as I keep waking up with headaches and a really stiff and sore neck
it’s been over a week now and I just gave in and took ibuprofen. I have to work this afternoon and can’t think straight with a headache. At least I know it’s not a hangover and I don’t feel sick.
See you all later you rock stars

40 days today. It was a loving day with family. Although my relationship with my son is not the same. Of course not, he is college dude now and hates these family things currently. It has left my a bit gutted and I've had some tears today. He leaves at 4am tomorrow to Kentucky. I'm almost glad because our time has sucked these few days. But inside I'm sad. Sigh.... This adjustment sucks. I loved his childhood except of course for the 2 households.... and him having to bounce back and forth. The thought of drinking only slightly crossed my mind to get the pain gone. But I know better now. I'm feeling strong with my sobriety other than the bummer relationship I currently have with my son. xoxoxoxo

Awful day that resulted in me not being allowed in the theatre....and then on the on the way home he just ragged on me. Since I fell while boarding next to the gate....there wasn't anyone to help My husband was able to get a refund thank god...even though we tried to board. Weird thing is that we boarded first, since I am disabled.No one could get our luggage, at that minute. We had to wait longer, to get our luggage (about an hour....0h and so since I fell and cracked my head open, they took me to the closest ER for CT brain scan, and many other tests. On my discharge papers, Alcohol was definitely the cause of me falling. NOW get to deal with all of this ****

Trudgingagain, so sorry for what you’ve been going through but I’m so glad you’re here.
Citrus, feel better soon!
Joy I agree... the older your son gets, the more he will probably appreciate you.
I’m ending day 26. I feel so happy that no one drank all day, I kind of think my influence helped. We went out for the meal and I ordered a cranberry seltzer, then my aunt who also doesn’t drink ordered a coke... so then after that, I think my mom and boyfriend (who I thought might both drink) felt like they should go sans alcohol too. I’m glad, no one needs to be drinking that stuff as far as I’m concerned and I certainly didn’t feel like watching them do it.
Good night everyone. x

❤️I do think Dee is right....this will change.....I think there are a few years when they are not interested in family stuff, but then it changes back. It's the equivalent to the monster years that teenage girls have I think....but they seem to be a bit earlier. Maybe?

sLove ~ things have changed in the last few years. Substance Abuse Disorder is now a recognised disease, and "alcohol-related" on medical papers does not have to be the shameful thing it used to be. Now it means that we get help....proper medical help, if we want it.
I know you are in all sorts of pain right now and I just want to send more healing love.

You guys are doing so well! I'm proud of you, for making this great change in your lives. You are an inspiration and I adore you all.
Stepdaughter is back, but there is less drama this time. Tomorrow we'll be making ginger bread men with all kiddos. Watching cross country skiing while grading English texts, life could be worse.
Have a nice Friday!

Good morning all.
Feeling quite a bit better now. The fever is definitely gone. I have slept so much! My kids have been so super sweet and have tired to stay quiet for me, not an easy feat for my 4. Lol.
The 2nd Thanksgiving is at my inlaws again tomorrow. Ah well. Just hoping at this point it will go quickly.
SBTS I am glad that everyone decided to go without alcohol at your dinner. It makes it just that much easier and really shuts AV up when everyone is sober.
Good morning Suze.
Trudgingagain I am so sorry to hear how your attempted trip went. Stick with us, this group is awsome at listening and being here for everyone. Be gentle with yourself in these early days.
Joy I am so sorry that you have had migraines since your fall. Goodness. I really hope you do say something to your doctor. ❤
I'm off to see if I can direct the kids into picking up the loving room from the mess they've made the past two days so we can up the tree up. I'm sure there are some dishes and laundry for me to tackle as well.

Everyone is doing great I’m so proud of us not giving in to holiday temptation.
Day 27. I’m at the beach now with my aunt and boyfriend, later on my mom will join us and we will go to the movies to see Knives Out in the late afternoon. I can’t imagine a better day. Mom is cooking dinner at home tonight. Still no drinking by anyone so far, but if that changes, I will not let it tempt me. I really do think me not drinking puts the critical mass on the nondrinking side for our group of 4 though
