Day 25 (-1)

I am so happy to say that I'm still sober and haven't had any cravings. The same day as my last post, which was Sunday July 14, I went to the AJR concert for my son's first concert. It was the most incredible night because not only did I get to see the joy and excitement from my son's eyes while he was dancing his ass off, but I got to remember every second of it. What's crazy to me is that I didn't crave a drink the entire time. Normally I'm sitting there with my first 2 drinks wondering when I'm going to get my next drinks. I also didn't have to get up to pee at all, which was an added bonus haha I think this past weekend taught me a nice lesson. It reminded me of the morning headache and sleeping issues that drinking brings, but it also was a huge eye opener that I really CAN have fun without drinking. My next big test will be Disneyland in 1.5 weeks. We are going for my son's 9th birthday and spending the night down there. Every Disney trip has always included my husband and I getting beers, but then we'll get way too many and I'll blackout. The last time I went, I blacked out for 2 rides and didn't remember until I looked at pictures the next day. This was just April of this year, so only 3 months ago. I can't do that again. I know that the sound of one drink sounds fun to "relax", but I know I won't stop at one and then I won't be able to sleep that night. So my goal is to look for delicious non-alcoholic drinks ahead of time so I'm prepared and already looking forward to them. And I'm going to bring my NA White Claws to the pool at the hotel the day before. I'm excited for this! I'm not too anxious about it, but I know that it's been hard for me to stay committed to in the past so I want to stay true to myself this time. I don't need alcohol to have fun at my favorite place in the world.

BROTHERS IN RECOVERY

[hauntedthoughtz]

Watching the film Beautiful Boy for the first time and it hit so close to home and how I was when I was younger and seeing the parents point of view made me sick. Granted didn’t do meth or heroin but I did almost every other drug and put my parents through the same pain, stress and worry.

..I spoke to my brothers gf about it to only find out my family had already seen it and it reminded them of me also, they just never told me to not upset me.

Sent me into a break down last night. I’ve come so far tho but there’s so much I need to process. We just have to keep working on ourselves and moving forward.

Feel like I’m working through step 4,5 and 6 with this feeling, and it’s rough 😭

One of the hardest part of the healing journey is letting go bc there is something comforting about the familiarity of sadness 🥲

it’s ok to let it go and to be doing better now tho ❤️‍🩹

And this is why he’s my favorite human right now. Told him I was three weeks clean/sober and this was his response. I’m slowly accepting that yes, some cops are actually genuinely good people - or at least I found the one that is.
