Hey everyone. I just got home. I'm still a bit shell shocked. This has exceeded every single expectation I have ever had. It definitely is life changing. I'm meeting with a tax specialist to know what the tax liability is and the best way to invest.
I had a lot of time on the planes. I realize I have been given this huge gift. I'm not messing it up, EVER. But overall, the bottom line is this (and has always been): This isn't just changing my life, it's changing my daughters. For that, I am the most grateful.
Thank you everyone. I'm hoping to get some sleep soon.

Okay, I'm ready to shift the focus back to my recovery. Here's where I stand:
I am at a week since the last time I had a drink.
I realize now that when those thoughts creep in, I stop them in their tracks or urge surf, depending on the level of intensity. I also do the "play the tape through" because it truly does help.
I'm going to begin going to a woman's group within the next two weeks
I have counseling in less than a week
I keep posting
I have my support group getting stronger
A lot has happened this past week, it seems as if my sobriety hasn't been a focus. It actually has been more of a focus. In a way, the gift I have been given is the freedom to focus on myself and my recovery more. I'm not taking that for granted.

Again, thank you everyone. I'm still shell shocked. I have so much planning to do.
I have counseling Tuesday and decided to let her know about all of this, my recovery plan, etc. Time to get to work. Now that the financial stress is handled, I'm more free to focus on myself and my recovery.
My twins turn 17 tomorrow. We're hanging out tonight watching movies and eating too much, lol. It'll be really nice.
I have some job interviews set up, so I'm very excited about that!
Thank you for the support. It means a lot.

Sauotchik, funny story. My friend has a friend who has high end vehicles she rents out for companies hosting events or clients. She said that they would park a Jag in my driveway for fun. I told her no, I'm doing all I can to divert attention away from us, lol. Thank God summer break is beginning in a couple of days so we an enjoy our summer peacefully.
As far as cars go, I'm looking at a VW Jetta. I've heard good things about them and Im excited to test drive.

Happy Sunday!!! My twin daughters are 17 today. I started crying. They really are growing up too fast. One is out of the house and the twins will be gone in a year. They youngest is quite ecstatic about that, lol.
Last night was a lot of fun. They had some friends show up while they were gone to fill the house with balloons, streamers, and such. It's amazing to see them build on such strong friendships. A good support group really is invaluable.
I'm sleeping good at night again. That's a great change! Being rested really does help the day, lol.
But finishing some more coffee, looking at baby pictures and trying to figure out how they are 17 and I'm only 25. I imagine there was some time travel or something going on . . . . lol
