Thanks guys. 💕. dee, sorry to hear you need to isolate as well. Things are so bad here, that many people are. My husband’s work has put everyone back on working entirely from home for st least a month.
I think the isolation piece is hard for me right now because I’m going through possibly the most traumatic health/life event of my life, and could use some face to face support, hugs from friends, an occasional shoulder, and a face to face support group. But, together alone it is, as you say, Plenny. It’s tough keeping busy when some days I feel so sick or exhausted. But I do my best keeping up with friends and groups and games virtually.
This is possibly the toughest week since the first. They plan to reduce my chemo dose for the last two weeks. Hopefully that helps.
At least it makes sobriety easy. Feeling constantly gross doesn’t make alcohol hold much appeal.

I’m still waiting for a surgery date, but expected to be end of the month. I did finish my toughest part of chemo! I do feel better as the time goes by. Tomorrow I go for infusions of two meds that target my kind of cancer. Because they are a targeted therapy, the hope is the side effects are less. I’ve only had them with the chemo in the past, so 🤞🏻🤞🏻it’s easier. I’ll do this every 3 weeks until November.
Im very tired, especially in the evenings. I slept through the Super Bowl, lol. So, after that 4 hour nap in my recliner, I’m now awake. Thought I’d check in on you guys. 💕💕 But, I need to try to sleep because my appointment is at 7:10am! I might have to do the Wordle first! Are any of you doing it?
Love to all of you on this Valentine’s Day! ♥️

Phoebe 
so good to hear from you ❤️
I hope you’re feeling a whole lot better once the chemo infusions are all done and your body heals. Sending lots of healing love ❤️
I’m plodding along. Messed up my sobriety streak by getting caught up in the festive season but back to 47 days as I had wine NYE but had nothing since. Sober 2022. And I intend on staying that way

Thought I would pop in and say hi and I was in this group last year.
So sorry to hear how things have been Phoebe and really pleased you are getting through as well as you are.
one thing I think the way you have coped with your son is amazing and something to be proud of.
Hi plenny lovely to see you!
I will try and keep popping in xx

Aaaaa! I didn’t check in for a while and then I signed out accidentally. Then, I had a slip and I went up and down for about a couple months and now I’m on day 1 again. So I’m ok and I’m actually not upset with myself because I know exactly what my trigger was this time and I learned a lot and nothing horrible happened. I feel very grateful for that.
as for the trigger, it was about my ex. I came to a realization that he’s never coming back to my town and I lost my autonomy and stopped caring about why I don’t drink. And then I drank.
I’m very glad to be back and I’ll be joining Aprils class since I need that social media aspect in my recovery.
I hope y’all are doing well. I love you!
