Thank you soooo much - Yes today is 15 and tomorrow will be 16!!!!! Etc etc etc. Just spoke with my eldest son and he thanked me and says he reallly knows how hard I am trying and that he and the rest of the children really appreciate my efforts.
And all I am doing is NOT picking up that first drink. Sounds sooo easy but I need so much help to keep this going and so I will get my meeting in this evening and get through to day 16 but keep it in the moment.

Dear Ama,
I am SO proud of you! 15 days, eh! Wow! You are an inspiration to me - along with all the good people here. Just knowing that you're there keeps me stong. I feel that God has looked down on us and said, "my children, you are too precious to me to allow you to continue in this insanity. You deserve a new life."
Stick with the winners, Ama. We can do it!
Hugs,
Lindsey

Look out!!!! Santa's on a rampage. The Christmas stress has finally gotten to him. Don't worry, I've seen him do this before. He'll snap out of it sooner or later. I hope you have a great day with a few giggles scattered throughout. Take care...

Yes Yes Yes it is day 17!!!!! And what a day - a sober day and sooo much to be soooo very grateful for. It was nice to be able to share good news for a change cause I must sound like an awful moaner - but it has kept me sane or perhaps just not as insane???? Thank you for that!!!!!
This site has been huge for me - and all the advice and care from you all. Keeping it in the moment still - one day at a time and hopping off to bed now as it is after 3am here. I have alot of work to do on myself and my sobriety but the rewards are just tooo good it seems. I look forward to it!!!! I have a list of things to do and have crossed off some at least. But really need to set a healthy regime for myself and get to normal sleep too. That is okay because everyday alittle bit more ME comes back you see. Havent gotten around to the closets yet but those too will be put in order. And will be by next Wednesday when the Ex comes home - ekkkkkkkk. I will be at AA meets and the gym as much as possible I assure you. Getting a healthy body and a healthy mind.
Goodnight dear friends in Recovery........Ama xxXXXxx

You are so very right. I can get carried away by life. My focus on recovery is very very strong - I have too much to gain with it you see and soooo very much to loose if I neglect it.
So its another win day and I will go to bed now sober and wake up sober and do it all over again. Just for today!!!! I hate hangovers anyway so this way I dont get to have them anymore either. Win win win.....

Just a quickie as I dash to a parent teacher meeting - I am going to get the book thrown at my sober lickle head you see - but I can take it!!!! And I have 17 Days one day at a time to thank for that and you wonderful friends too - yip and AA and Step 1!!!!!
I will let you know later how it goes - I have been summoned by the principal eeekkkkk - she is a lovely woman but very grounded - unlike me for the last few months to I will deserve the rollicking she delivers to me. If this was before me only 3 weeks ago - well lets face it I would have been pissed out of my head - dont really have to say anymore now do I????
And today in Dublin is absolutely beautiful. Blue skies and not a cloud in sight and the temperature is springlike. And I noticed the first of my spring bulbs peaking through this morning too - I think they are the miniature Daffodils - how pretty they will be!!!! Yes I know it is December - but Spring is to look forward to now as nature awakens to it next new cycle of growth. Hope the analogy lies true for me too - for all of us!
Talk to ya later and I am abit nervous but sure head is abit clear so that is good - Sober Rocks!!!

We can handle anything when sober. Perhaps even a school principal! ;-)
You hit on something I truly believe in! We are like those flowers that will come to life in spring! Not that we aren't alive now, but I try to live in the seasons and for me the winter has always been a time of reflection, of getting rid of the parts of me that were no longer useful. Whe the spring arrives, the new and improved me does too.
That's why I'm so grateful for the program, for having such a good friend like you, and all the wonderful caring people at Sober Recovery.
I KNOW that if it wasn't for SR, I don't think I would have made it.
So here's to one day at a time and the arrival of the wee flowers!
And I can't wait to hear about the principal!
