hokey

I was just reading through my posts from nov/dec of last year, trying to recognize when the slip started (because for me the slip started long before I actually picked up a drink). At about 4 weeks sobriety I started a thread that was negative and pity-filled and angry-at-the-world. I didn't actually drink for another couple weeks after that, but that was my last thread on here. Not sure exactly what date I checked out of SR, but it wasn't long after that I started drinking again.

So whether I feel I have something helpful to post or not, I know that I will post ... daily. You all might get really sick of hearing from me, but I'll be doing it ... for the sake of my sobriety.

Onward ...

I never get tired of reading people's posts. I have to remind myself some days that I cannot pick up a drink even though my mind is telling me I will be fine drinking. I have to keep remembering the guilt and the lying and the sneaking around that goes with my drinking.

I finally had that heart-to-heart talk with my youngest son and he was very supportive. I told him that I wasn't making any promises and that I can't go back and undo the mistakes I've made as his mom, but I am doing what I can do for today. It was a teary moment and I got the biggest hug from him when he left ... almost like he didn't want to let go (I know I didn't!)

Another great sober moment ...

Ah, Holly, that's a huge step forward and I'm so pleased that your son was supportive - I could almost feel that hug from here!

And, yes, please post away - it's the gift that keeps on giving
