Arghhh..
As many of you know,
I lost my dad at the beginning of March.
He did not name an executor to handle
HIS wishes..
So, all of his siblings,
He has 7 bro & Sis.
Everyone is trying to force me to quick sale
His house.Its is in southern California
I will Not drink over this
So i had a person respond to the word
#Alcoholic
they said that they did not use that word. It made me curious.. why not call a spade a spade? Step 1 admits to being powerless over
#alcohol
isn't that the very definition of an alcoholic?!

Belle stopped eating yesterday. And today she didn't eat or drink any water. We think that the end is near.
I've made my peace w it, but Chuck keeps crying.. Belle has been w us for 18 years. This sucks. She's my bestie, you know?

One Day at a Time
Today is a gift!
😁🥳💜😁🥳💜😁
Thank you for all the *Feedback I've been getting.. its been mostly positive.
Apparently, the word
#Alcoholic
is very polarizing in our
#sober
community. I had no idea. To be clear. I was calling myself that, no one else. You do you.
#RecoveryPosse
Today is my 1 yr & 9month
#Sobriety
date.. there are some days when I don't even think about
#alcohol
I will always be an
#Alcoholic
but I'm doing the work. Medication, therapy, meetings & the support I find here
🤗🌼💛💪👍🥳
Thank you (u can do it too)

Every Meeting has it's own ~Vibe~
Full of Old-Timers,
Full of Newcomers,

To those of u who have relapsed recently or who are new to the program or

Here's the real deal. Not one of us is perfect. We all can stumble & fall..
It took me 15 years to achieve true
#Sobriety
it was truly awful, those 15 yrs.
You Can Do This!!
Keep Fighting 💪👍
I knew all my life that i was an addict. Severe childhood trama, inappropriate acting out as a teen & first food, then alcohol, etc. I I actually didn't begin drinkiing until my mid-30s.
#Addiction
does not care how smart u are, how rich, it's Cunning baffling & deadly.
It's Friday!
We made it!!
Who's ready for a
#Sober
weekend &
New Years?
I've made many
Mistakes in my life,
But getting
#Sober
was never one of them!
You can do it too!

I'm from Alaska..
Saw these all the time! What most people don't know is that they make a crackling, electric noise & the back of your neck hair will stand up from the static electricity..
It's the coolest thing, besides being absolutely beautiful.

My guy's ex-wife died last night from kidney failure..
Due 2prolonged drug use. I kept holding out hope that she could *turn it around & get clean bcz i helped raise their 4 kids for the last 15 years
The kids are grown now & I'm just sad 4them.
#addiction
Sucks!
#RecoveryPosse
Wowza!! So many people have reached clean/sober time. 9 months here, 800 days here, 5 days (which totally
counts & should be celebrated) I even saw one guy get his 20 year chip from 2001... we can beat the *Beast of Addiction.
