Hi everyone!
I hope all is well...thinking about each of you.
Today is my birthday, I am 42 today. I am just sitting here reflecting. It is officially the 4th time I am celebrating my birthday sober. Which is great, absolutely fantastic. It is so easy now for me... and to think that quitting drinking was literally one of the hardest things I ever had to do.
I am grateful today to wake up sober, not shaking and clear minded for my girls. I am grateful that both of my girls are happy and healthy. I am grateful for my good health. I am grateful for my loving and caring parents. I am grateful for my husband.
I honestly could not have gotten sober without my husband. He was there for me when I needed him most.
Sadly, I am not able to connect with him as I have in the past. Our conversations feel so strained. He is always on a path of proving he is right about any topic, specifically religion. It is exhausting. He is never able to be open and understanding. He is unable to just support someone while agreeing to disagree. And I hate it, it makes me so very sad.
But with all that said, I am going to remain positive today... and continue to remind myself why I am a very lucky and sober 42 year old.
Thanks for listening guys
Have a great one

I'm sorry about your conversations with your husband - things may change in time - til then I hope you have others to discuss things with?

Happy Birthday Bumble !
Sorry to hear of your strained conversations.
Bringing up a family is hard, and dating each other seems impossible. Can you schedule a date night?
Congrats on 4 + years!

Checking in to my family here…….
Doing well. Took several experiments until I finally found the path.
I will always be grateful to those that started with me on the path.
Hugs
