Congrats Bumble! You and Forwards really got it right. I’ve been back more, sober since late August. Trying different tools.
Ending day 55.
Hi Gettingcloser and Willow 😎🤓😁

Hey there Bumble! 
Three and a half years is really awesome! Go girl! You’re really an inspiration. I hope your little ones are doing well too. They won’t be so little now!
I’m past the 6 months mark and feeling pretty good about life again. More positive than I have been in a long time.
And Free you’re at 3 months again!
Woohoo, you go girl too!
I spotted Manta in the weekenders too, she’s still around as well.
I wonder who else from our aMAYzing class is still around?
Hugs to you all
❤️

Me too.
I have been having a yucky day, day 105.
Been reading SR most of the day, looked at older posts. Some from us, some from Bumble, etc. Very cool to see those and ponder. Stumbled across blogs on this SR site today, one member, ‘gloss’, writes very well. I’m beginning to read her story from her day 2
My love to you all.
I had sent Manta a few messages in early November, and was so glad she responded by posting in WEEKENDERS

I haven’t seen the blogs, maybe I’ll go hunting for them 🤔
I’ve been having yuck days too Free. Life’s not always roses, that’s for sure. Drinking doesn’t help though, so we may as well give up trying that route. Alcohol only makes things worse.
Onwards we go, sober warriors ❤️

Hello all
I can't believe it has been almost a year since I posted on here. I come and read often, especially late at night while going to bed.
I hit my 4 year sober "birthday" in May. The last year was smooth overall. This was the first school year that both my daughters were in school all day (1st and 3rd grade.) I am not working, so I kept myself busy at home during the day with cleaning/laundry/cooking.. and was able to really relax - for the first time in years. I watched some t.v., read some books, worked out. It was glorious. I was spoiled with time, really.
Well, school is out for summer break... and I am having a difficult time with it. I am constantly busy with the kids, or if not busy... interupted - which drives me crazy. Often, I cannot use the bathroom without hearing "MOM." I feel like I am in the kitchen all day, making meals and cleaning up. I tried having them do chores... it hasn't worked out too well. I feel completly underappreciated.. and constantly irritated. It really reminds me of the mood I was in when I drank.
As I am typing this - my youngest daughter just needed my help because her lego creation fell apart, and my oldest daughter needed to show me her wiggly tooth. I hate to be so insenatvie... but I just don't care, I want to be able to sit down and not have my thoughts interrupted.
I feel my husband and I are not always on the same page either. He is on his phone a lot playing games, which also annoys me. Then, I tend to turn away from him.. and not want to interact with him.
I can't really exactly explain what is going on. But I am not completely happy.
Crazy thing is - I should be. I have a beautful life, I don't have to work, I have a nice home, I am healthy, my children are happy and healthy, my husband loves me and works hard for us.
Like what is going on with me?
I hope all of you are doing well,
Bumble

Hi Bumblebee
congrats on 4 years!
I’m not a parent so maybe I have no idea… but it sounds like you’re pretty much overloaded with responsibilities? Could your husband pick up some of the slack maybe if you spoke to him?
Have you any relatives who might be able to lend a hand?
I see it didn’t work out so well but I think giving the kids chores is a good idea, and not something you should give up on

Yay john!
Bumble, I’m sorry about the life. We sure do feel feelings, don’t we? It can be uncomfortable.
Willow, hope all is going well.
Manta, I hope you are resting well.

Hello all
just checking in to say hello. I’m doing better since my last check in.
summer was a tough transition for me with the kids being home.
I’m chatting more openly with hubby which has been helpful too
Leave for a lake house vacation in 2 days. Can’t wait
