Yum stew sounds amazing.
Venus, oh good you have the good kosher salt!
B2G, this last year has been so tough and I think added a lot more issues to relationships in many situations. My ex-fiance moved out in Nov. of '19 and I had to buy him out from the house, but I was thankful he wasn't around in 2020 because we would have fought a lot. I really hope it works out for you.

I slice up potatoes into thick chips, put on a tray with plenty of olive or sesame oil....sprinkle with plenty of rough chopped rosemary and some cumin seeds. Makes a good chip.

A lot of people eat Lamb here. I don't personally, I have never liked it but I know a lot of people that do.
Also chicken is a great roast as well.

Staying committed to not drinking alcohol tonight. Having a sparkling La Croix instead. I repeated the serenity prayer at 5:00 pm and reminded myself how good it will feel to wake up without a hangover in the morning.

, ya 2020 and 24/7 time together has definitely taken is toll, throw in some alcohol, and my trying to quit drinking... It's been rough. He doesn't believe mental health/issues and this year has really amped up my anxiety. The doc and i had a plan, but he didn't want me taking any meds so he threw them out. My doc thought i was using alcohol to self medicate for my anxiety. (Duh, i knew that ) hopefully it works out, one way or another.

Yo! Checking in this evening. Another full day at work. Staring at a screen all day is not what i signed up for. Please let the vaccines get out and lets us get back to normal. By 5pm my head feels fried, plus so much sitting. My real job I am on my feet most of the day and I like it. Sitting in my basement typing away is not ideal.
Talked to my doctor today and gave me referrals for ultrasound and blood work. Plus we are going to do a colonoscopy and endoscopy. The endoscopy is what I am most looking forward to. (weird to say that) But it is true, lets see what is going on inside my upper GI tract. Its better to know and take action. By the time I get to have it I should have around a month sober time under my belt. If they find nothing, great. If they find something, I can work towards making it better. I have worried and worried about the state of my insides for so long. It will be a relief just to hear what it is.
And......I'm sober. Which is nice to type. So its only going to get better. I have been eating really healthy and drinking loads of tea. It must be doing something positive.
Day 19
Night Ya'll

Have t had a chance to read everything in detail. I guess I’ll be a weekend warrior.
I have had a chance to see that lots are hitting high milestones in sobriety. Yay.
some are back to day one..... but you can’t have 1000 days unless you start with one. So.... first step in the right direction... just stay here and keep trying. YOU ARE WORTH IT.
the food talk is going on still. I saw garlic, and ginger and yum. I was crazy busy and got take out. Teenagers always love pizza... made life easier tonight.
I did play a quick game of basketball with my son. He’s 13. Not many more times he’s gonna want to play with mom. Gotta soak it up.
took my older daughter to the laundromat and picked up some groceries with her. In her first year of college. Weird how times when she was a baby flash through my head when I drop her off at her apartment. So bittersweet.
the middle one... 16 year old girl got home from practice/gym and ate everything in sight. I think I could just grab a shovel and poor i down her throat!!! She’s very athletic and strong. Aww...that’s what 16 looks like!
hubby is good on this side of cancer. Thankful he’s getting stronger everyday. I’m signed up for an early swim and gonna keep this sober train on the tracks.
feels good. The more I change up the routine after work.. breaking those old habits... honoring all of my hard work so far, the less of a grip that temptation has over me. I don’t want the illness that comes with alcohol and I don’t want to feel crappy physically or mentally.
Im wishing you all the strength to keep fighting for yourselves—to keep going. We are all so fragile right now... we can’t let out guards down. I’m not going to...
the only way to the other side is through.
goodnight Jans

Hi all. Welcome Hopeful! Glad you’re here to join us.
BTG, that’s not right, your husband tossing your meds. Glad you got out in the fresh air with your boy, and away from the conflict for awhile.
I’ve had cravings to drink tonight, but had a good dinner to fill up, and had a little ice cream to help. It’s fine though because it’s just not an option.
I took a walk late this afternoon, and rode this elliptical thing we have in front of the TV. You just sit on a chair and pedal it, but, it’s better than sitting still all night.
