Been up since 4:30 after a wonderful 8 hours of sleep.
I hope this is a better week.
I am praying for patience in dealing with XAH and his Christmas ornament sorting. I will not be around him due to his drinking and other issues. I do want my childhood, children's and grandchildren's things.
No drawn out drama!

A good Monday to all.

Coffee and cigarette on my apartment balcony in the WY wind.

My Dear Prudence was euthanized last night. It hurt but I am so glad I am sober and can feel emotions now. She is free to play now.

Off to shower and work.

Take care everyone

4:53 AM and I'm sober and I'm awake
but
I think that I will have a hot cup of tea
and watch some news as I lay on the couch.

I'll call it 1/2 awake for now.

Day 399 here! Got up this morning without any struggle, that's already the makings of a great day. No negative thoughts, just another fantastic day.

Hi - didn't sleep, feeling horrid about not being invited to my grandson's B-day - then seeing his beautiful face on facebook at least. Still, I own this situation and with continued sobriety hope that I can be part of his life again.

I remember those awful days and nights when I would wake up early in the morning with the shakes so bad. I would pace the house waiting for the store to open so I could get a bottle of wine.

Now if I wake up early it's because my dog woke me up to go potty. And I always wake up feeling good.

5:39 AM and I've been up for a little while.

Looking forward to a nice sober day spent with my Dad.
His health is getting worst and he's under Hospice care.

Morning everyone.
A brisk 20 degrees here.
Missed my home group meeting yesterday due to work.
Hope to hit a noon meeting today. Life has been stressful last three weeks. I'm detaching from A son and daughter. No contact with XAH.
A year ago today a friend took me to the ER for alcohol issues. I am thankful I have come so far since.
Another sober day ahead.

My little dog woke me up at 4am to go out. So glad to wake up sober and be able to take care of them. So glad I'm not waking up with the shakes like I used to do.

Not a very early riser today. I slept till 7.
Yoga class today and then wrapping presents and laundry.
AS back from out of state job and actually texted me about
The money he owes me. I am praying a lot for the A's in my
Family. Pretty much the whole family!
Grateful to be sober today.
