My hubby, my drinking Buddy
I’ve been with my husband for 25 years. We’ve had a lot of fun, we have tons of fun party friends and we’ve drank more wine and beer than is probably humanly possible, if I was to guess! Well, the past year we have talked often about the ages we are and the impact ofContinue reading “My hubby, my drinking Buddy”
Self Hate and Loathing
I’m finding these last two weeks that I’m miserable. I’m excited to begin my journey into sobriety but I’m apparently of the mindset to drink and smoke as much as I can before the party train ends. I’m just over it but with Christmas Eve tonight and the annual party at a good friend’s whichContinue reading “Self Hate and Loathing”
Proud of us! One week report
We made it through Friday night alcohol free! Talk about a proud moment! I had a few moments of doubt between the hours of 4-7pm but my husband and I did it, despite the fact that all the odds were stacked against us (our normal triggers): A stressful meeting earlier in the day AContinue reading “Proud of us! One week report”
Let’s try this again, take 3!
Yep, it’s that time of year again. I’ve spent the last year drinking as heavily as ever! It was a “better” year because we spent All of January sober and subsequently lost about 12-15 pounds. We started back to drinking in February and didn’t stop again until January 31, 2016! I was able toContinue reading “Let’s try this again, take 3!”

We we both lost about 5 pounds in the week and weContinue reading “Finally stepping up and doing it!”
Green juice!
Last weekend as I excitedly got my juicer out to start juicing I dropped a piece and broke it! I was so upset but luckily found the part on the Breville website and ordered the replacement for $32. It arrived today! I was so excited I immediately made our first juice. It is very good!Continue reading “Green juice!”
Time to be accountable and make it happen!
My high blood pressure was first diagnosed about 20 years ago when I was undergoing a life insurance test and it was slightly elevated. I tend to get nervous around doctors and over the years have been on blood pressure medicine for most of the time. However, I have never really tried to do thingsContinue reading “Time to be accountable and make it happen!”
Food, juicing, smoothies… clarity
It has been a very interesting week. I have been experiencing moments of clarity and in those moments of clarity, I feel like such a failure on so many levels. I normally would not admit this feeling. I would just pretend everything is wonderful and to the outside world I would appear to be aContinue reading “Food, juicing, smoothies… clarity”
I love my new life!
