Sunday morning here and this weekend has been a mixed bag so far. Friday night was great. I listened (didn’t participate or share) to an online AA meeting and I could relate with the other members. I got to bed late but slept in until 10:30am on Saturday morning. I had nothing pressing toContinue reading “The Lies of Addiction”

Pack Your Bags
One step forward, two steps back. That’s how I feel on this funky Friday morning. Drank again yesterday, although I didn’t start last night. I started yester- day– yes during the day. Two nights ago drinking wine was pleasant. It felt good up until I went to bed (which I don’t remember). Yesterday the firstContinue reading “Pack Your Bags”
Moderation Condemnation
It is Thursday morning and I sadly woke up with a wine hangover headache. Let’s back up to Tuesday. On Tuesday, I wanted wine badly. Hubby gave me some tough love and I didn’t give in to the craving. It felt GREAT to wake up on Wednesday, knowing that I didn’t blow it. I nowContinue reading “Moderation Condemnation”
Radiant Soul
After an hour or so went by, my comfort level improved Sans Alcohol and I had fun chatting. This is huge and a testament to the fact that I can have fun without it!
Day 3, Again..
I can’t seem to string more than a sober week together these days. What happened? Badness. Not goodness. Something so stupid it is embarrassing. I last wrote on Saturday. Two days later we headed up north for a week of relaxation. We got up on Monday afternoon and went to Walmart shortly after forContinue reading “Day 3, Again..”
Day 2
I decided after writing yesterday to dump out the remaining alcohol. I didn’t want to plan on drinking last night– or any of the future nights. I’ve established a pattern with my relapses. This pattern began after my initial 92 days of sobriety that started back in February 2017. The relapse starts with an urge.Continue reading “Day 2”
Old Habits Don’t Die, Back to Day 1
First of all, Scout Camp was pretty amazing! It was a little bit like a wellness retreat, well except the food. Anthony’s first 2 classes were at the lake (AKA a big pond). There was a nice trail nearby that went along a stream. I spent the mornings laying by the lake, reading myContinue reading “Old Habits Don’t Die, Back to Day 1”
Preparing for Scout Camp
I am putting my overeating issues aside for the time being. I have bigger fish to fry (literally). Tomorrow morning, at the crack of dawn, Anthony and I leave for scout camp! I am slightly excited, a little nervous & apprehensive, a little happy and a little sad. I went last year for a fewContinue reading “Preparing for Scout Camp”
Betsy Takes Advantage
TWO things to report on today, one is good and one is bad. The good: I’ve been trying to set up a lunch date with a friend of mine. She texted me this morning that her live-in boyfriend broke up with her and that she still wanted to make plans but may need to change the dayContinue reading “Betsy Takes Advantage”
Family Fun Day at the Beach, 7-8-17
It was an interesting day yesterday at the beach party. Some of the people I was with were drinking and some weren’t. My dad and his friend were drinking mixed drinks with vodka out of a cream soda bottle. He was pretty buzzed and it was weird. I would have enjoyed drinking along with himContinue reading “Family Fun Day at the Beach, 7-8-17”
