I didn’t drink in moderation this past weekend. I drank all day and all night. I just kind of threw in the towel.. so to speak. I came home on Tuesday July 5th.

Painful and Thankful 7-1-16
Life is good. I have been trying to eat as clean (per elimination diet protocol) as much as possible. I haven’t had coffee all week. I drank Monday and Tuesday (normal amounts).

May 2016 I am going to write about my recovery on here. I’m going to tell my story first. I am not strong enough to share this with anyone that I personally know. Not my husband, not my best friend, not my sisters. I can’t say the words out loud. I can’t admit that IContinue reading “Alcoholism and Depression”
