I am sending you encouragement to go with your hope.

And to all of you.....

I was a member of the class of August 2009 and that experience was instrumental in helping me to get, and stay sober. To those of you joining this class, check in everyday and get connected with other class members. The experience can change your life.

Hi erratic, good for you finding a new program. I wish you the best with that.

On to day 2. Woke up feeling good on this Saturday. Actually slept pretty well with strange dreams. But I love that deep sleep! Little thoughts beginning this morning like, “ are you sure you want to quit forever?” I am sure but I guess the AV is already pouting a bit today.

Today’s Plan; start getting organized for the coming school year, long walk this morning and add a little running back in, lunch with family, and probably another walk with husband later. I will not be leaving alone today; that is where I get I to trouble.

I hope you all have a nice day. Glad to be with you on this journey.

This morning Mrs sent me a link. I watched it and it brought tears to my eyes and hope to my heart. It is some very amazing editing but has a powerfully awsome message. The visuals and words are really inspiring. Highly recommended - https://youtu.be/WA4dDs0T7sM

That is so wonderful dear Erratic. s

Also glad you are here dear Reid. s
I broke my ankle a month ago because I am an idiot....no bender required.

How is your mum doing love? xxxxx

Reid82

Ah she is 'ok', so to speak, you know the score...

What happened to your ankle?! Are you in a cast or have a boot on now? Oh dear.

venuscat

NO......because I am an idiot who was too afraid to go to the ER due to the covid numbers here.
I have had an xray now, and am slowly healing.....and was told that I could still wear a boot to help but it is so hot here.....I am OK just mostly resting it for another week-ish.

Have your relatives stopped being intrusive re your mum now?
I know you do a wonderful job looking after her dear Reid.
Always thinking of you.... ❤️

Oh.....the ankle breaking story is too embarrassing to repeat.
I find it funny that I never hurt myself in all of my drinking years, but sober I am a major klutz.

Reid82

I had a cast on for 6 weeks after it. No boot and didn't need surgery either, it was a clean break. It doesn't give any problems these days thankfully.
I simply fell over myself coming out of a pub (at around noon!!) after being on a weekend long bender, had drank a full bottle of Captain Morgan on the Saturday.
Went to the early house on the Sunday morning and as soon as I went out in the fresh air, my legs just gave in, nearly fell out into moving traffic and all. A friend had
to pick me up and drive me home as I literally couldn't stand up!

Yes, they have stopped meddling (mostly cos I didn't' bother contacting them or they didn't ring me either!) You can always tell me what happened to your ankle in a PM!

hello eveyonel
i'm in too

venuscat

Oh gosh.....RAL!!!! s
Not sure anything could have made me happier today than to see you honey. ❤️

venuscat

I am sure people here are sick of hearing it is all dear Reid....I have a wooden kitchen table and bench on one side that stays in place, so you climb in and out.....and I was moving way too fast and the doorbell rang and as I got up I whacked it as hard as possible on the edge of the table. I was SO embarrassed that I didn't even tell my husband until the day after.....I didn't have a choice by then as like you I could no longer walk. So I get the idiot award. s xx

I started lurking on SR and often read the Class of August 2019. Seems like yesterday. I got sober for good (so far) a few months after that and in that Class of August thread, I realized that I wasn't alone in this thing. I hope you are all around to read the Class of August 2021 thread - happy, healthy, calm and sober. GO CLASS OF AUGUST 2020!!!

You know I think you are awesome dear Surrendered.

Hi RAL, We’ve been in a few classes together. Wishing us both success this time.

Well, day 2 was a bit of a struggle in the morning. When I come out of my wine haze, I feel the weight of my responsibility and get quite overwhelmed. Especially since I let so much go while I’m drinking. I cried a bit this morning, got a little upset with teen kids who aren’t doing their part around the house, and gave my husband an earful (what a dear man!)

Stuck with the plan though. Went on 3 walks and was able to take a two hour nap today. Feeling good again. No temptation now and I’m safely home.

Going to relax about the stuff that can wait. Right now, my sobriety is the most important pursuit.

good stuff jewel

Day two is winding down. The house is a wreck but I did a couple things to tidy up. Hit my water goals! I always forget how heavy my body feels after a bender, like it’s just holding onto everything. I wish I could sweat it all out immediately. Oh well. I have time. Feeling pretty optimistic overall.

That is wonderful love. ❤️
