Today is day 31. Every day I wrote this in my journal: Today I remain sober and am very happy to do so! I never really understood the “one day at a time” theory until now. It really keep things in perspective. Although, I do feel like this is my forever path, thinking of itContinue reading “30 days Alcohol Free”

Here we go again! This is it.
So, I’ve been MIA from my blog for a good while. Reason being was I wasn’t willing to face the facts. I knew deep down that short term abstinence wouldn’t work for me and that I would have to make the decision to abstain and be sober for good/forever. Until I was willing to admitContinue reading “Here we go again! This is it.”
My perfect day vs my real day
I often dream about what I would do if I didn’t have to work, be a housekeeper at home, cook and clean, manage my household… what would my perfect day consist of if I could make it however I want it? I spend so much time working in and on my business, running the familyContinue reading “My perfect day vs my real day”

Yesterday was a hard day topped with crazy dreams!
My 16 year old son got into a lot of trouble at the end of 2019. This lead to me increasing my drinking and to me smoking almost a pack a day of cigarettes (I was formerly a “social smoker).” We found him smoking pot and sneaking out at the beginning of his 10th gradeContinue reading “Yesterday was a hard day topped with crazy dreams!”
12 days and 7 pounds – it’s so much easier to lose weight
For years I tried to diet and lose weight while drinking wine. It was a struggle. A constant battle, to say the least. Now that I’m not drinking it so mush easier to control my food intake. I tried Adkins and I tried low carb and intermittent fasting over the past years but it wouldContinue reading “12 days and 7 pounds – it’s so much easier to lose weight”

Drunk vs sober
I was thinking of the many contrasts and thought I’d start a list that we can all add to. This should be fun. Numb vs feeling Embarrassed vs proud Present vs absent Dying vs living Self centered vs loving Head ache vs clear head Red eyes vs clear eyes Sad vs happy Numb vs nervousContinue reading “Drunk vs sober”
