Might be good to get outdoors a bit if you’re up for it as well, just make sure to take a path that doesn’t pass by the shops where they sell alcohol.
If the thought of drinking pops in your head remember how crappy Day one feels. Log in here, call your aunt, do something related to recovery.
Glad you checked in, and that you’re sober.

My quit smoking date is April last year. I lost a couple of friends over that. My mother is stopping chemo. Let’s pray the cancer won’t come back. Waking up numerous times a night hasn’t settled yet. The bin is full again. Only two piles of bottles left to go plus the pantry. Thank you all so much for your support. I couldn’t have done it without you all.
I’m sorry about your mum. I’ll include her in my metta & prayers.,Its nice you’ll be seeing your aunt. Having support is incredibly powerful. You’re doing well. Not drinking is way easier than drinking and certainly going through the misery of withdrawals. I’m glad you’re almost cleaned up of the empty bottles. I wouldn’t want them around.
Keep it up sweeti. You’re doing well. Super proud of you!

Wow, Sweeti!
I've been checking in on you for quite some time. You sound like a different person altogether today. I'm very pleased for you! Early days are difficult, for sure, but I hope your physical being is starting to feel much better.
Wishing the best for your mum. It's really lovely that your aunt wants to meet up; a nice motivation to come out of the weekend sober.
Any way you can rid yourself of the piles of bottles within the next day or so? It feels really amazing to me to be rid of those; in fact, I just reminded myself that I found one the other day that I need to toss out Today!
Go, Sweeti!

Congrats on Day 9 Sweeti, tomorrow will be double digits, that’s a great place to be. I’m glad your mom is doing better, I’ll pray the cancer doesn’t come back. It’s also nice that you have plans with your aunt on Monday. What are your plans for the weekend? What’s the weather like by you?

Hi sweeti. What’re your plans for the weekend? It’s Saturday morning for you already. We’re having our annual picnic tomorrow so I’ve been busy cooking all day with more cooking to do in the morning. My husband isn’t helping with the few things I’ve been asking him to do for months now (like cleaning up his clutter & junk all over the house) and now we’re down to last minute and he’s still not doing it. I’m extremely aggravated right now. I’m not going to drink over it but I might just leave the house before the picnic starts lol. Anyway, I hope you have a good day .

Sorry about your hubby Gypsytears, if there is one thing my wife and I do well together its get the house and yard in good shape for company. Been paying a lot more attention to those kinds of things since I stopped the booze, up until that point I would clean but I would convince her that it was ok for me to drink while I did it. She bought that for awhile and eventually wised up to my ****. Now we treat it like a task we can do together and see the rewards together as well.
Hoping hubby will come around in time for the picnic, sounds like a good time.
Let us know how it goes.
