Howdy ya値l
Just checking in. Been soo freaking busy. Started coaching my son痴 football team. LOVING it. My kids have so much going on, which means I do too. I love the activity. I love their company. All their friends are great. Kids on their teams are great. Super busy at work. Life in sobriety is quite rewarding. The only thing is being so busy has had me not making as many AA meetings as I need to. I have time tonight so I値l do that and then stay up late drawing up plays.
Just wanted to check in. Lots of times I only check in when it is a **** storm.
*for those that follow me and the drama with my 13yo, she痴 still a huge PITA. But, I知 giving her her space so the drama is less. She asked us if she can meet a boy at the park. Mom and I agreed if he comes to our houses first so we can meet him. Holy crap. HOLY CRAP.

Good morning BABM,
Great to hear things are going well. I too have a girl and could only imagine when she gets to her teens. With your busy schedule that you have. one day at a time you accomplished so much. Have a good day , make time for that AA meeting and self care my friend.

My 13 year old (now 18) put me through the wringer.. She is AMAZING now! 13-16 was awful but just try to protect her from making horrible decisions. I had to 'talk firmly' :-P to an older boy... never saw him again. Sobriety helps get through those years!

Teenage girls are tough. I used to be one...and now I have one. 🤦♀️YIKES! You are doing it right - give her some space, but set some reasonable expectations. Being a sober dad is the best thing you can do for the both of you!

Gosh, if my daughter had done the things I did as a teenager I would have totally freaked out. Mostly they survive if have ok parents. You're one of those parents BABM.
Great to see you going so well.

4 hour meeting?
Is the rover not roving? Did it find some trace of life? I saw that its arm is working and it went on a little trek. Its water pump works too and I had a listen.... Fascinating.
Boys? Ya, Im sure your anxiety is through the roof on that one. It will be okay.

Good to hear you sounding so upbeat. Your posts nowbyou are sober are just so SO different to the despair when you were drinking
