Hello dear katlin
Welcome to the group! xx

Really gad your surgery went well s

Just a thought....I broke my ankle last year and couldn't walk, and then I needed to help my ankle muscles etc so I bought this pedal thing....I could have gone higher tech than I did, but I wasn't sure if I would use it. You might like one....they advertise them for seniors but if they marketed them for everyone stuck at home we would have a new fad.

Thank you! This is about the point I reached in April 2021 when I slipped with a bottle of wine on a beach vacation. This time "feels" different and I can only hope to stay strong. I know that I am one of those folks that need to maintain a zero tolerance for alcohol. My husband is a social drinker and manages it well. I was not a drinker at all until several years after this marriage. My father was a raging alcoholic (sober with AA for almost 20 years when he passed a few years ago) but my mother was a staunch tee-totaler. Seeing what alcohol did in my nuclear family made me scared to death of it. When I remarried after a divorce from my children's father, I began to see that people seemed to be able to have a healthy relationship with alcohol. My dad did not drink at home, but came home raging drunk many, many times. Given that I was around someone who drank and also because I worked in a setting where social drinking was "smiled upon" by peers and administrators I started drinking in those settings. I managed it for a couple of years but then it became a nightly stress reliever. I was mainly a wine drinker but drank way too much almost daily for almost 17 years. I am petrified that I have done damage to my health that cannot be repaired so that is basically what has me scared straight at this point. Hopefully, the fear will subside and will be replaced with nothing but gratitude. I retired (a little early) from my high stress job earlier this year and I want to make the most of the years (hopefully, many) I have left.

Very sorry to hear about your mom kittencat. I hope she feels better soon.

freedromfries, I’m glad to hear you are getting back into a healthy routine. I’m trying to pick that up again as I’ve let that fall to the back burner. I was doing really well with drinking a lot of water exercising at least 3 times a week so I got to get back on that routine.

On the work front, my manager recently left the team so I’ve taken on her role and it’s overwhelming. Hopefully they hire a new manager soon so I don’t have to wear the project manager and people manager hats at the same time for much longer.

Quick check in. Long drive yesterday and up very early this morning. My mother has a long “to-do” list for us.
Everyone have a good day.

I've decided I'm going to stay sober til Tuesday, giving the Campral eight days to reduce my cravings, which the internet says is what it takes. If it doesn't noticeably improve my cravings, then it's mouthwash at 6am and back to the drawing board.
