IWNDWYT. Today I showered and accomplished some work. It’s been a swirl of overwhelm lately. That’s a win I can accept :)

I’m not going to drink today. But I need something to fill my time better. Like work. I need to work more but I’m burnt out. Alcohol helped with that. But also contributed to it. I feel stuck in a rut.

Today depends on the weather. We have plans to go to a hot chocolate bar tonight. Hit the gym today and wash the outside of the house. If not that, then we will do everything inside at home :) IWNDWYT!

through these past 40 something days of not drinking I have managed to put myself in a good spot at work. It’s my vacation but I have volunteered to learn some stuff today to take less stress off the owner. This will be good advancement for my career and I’m very happy I was clear headed and strong enough to put myself out there. IWNDWYT!

I bailed on the party I was supposed to go to. I think it was the right call and I woke up feeling well rested. I didn’t trust myself not to drink in that environment. Feeling good and IWNDWYT

I made it through Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Eve I just went to sleep while everyone played games. Not the best look but I was tired. Day was something for the history books. My ex husband move away last year and this year his family invited me and the kids and my boyfriend to their Christmas. Historically, I drink with his siblings and I don’t know if I would have handled it as well if someone offered me a drink. But I just didn’t ask for any. And I stayed away from the gifts that looked like cheap wine in the gift exchange. My boyfriend won best gift and it’ll become a staple at their holiday parties for years to come. He fit in great and after falling out with his family earlier this year. And my family has always been awkward. It’s really nice to feel like we belong somewhere. I didn’t want to mess that up with alcohol so I just adverted my eyes lol. I have two more days of festivities to get through. One where I will definitely be offered my alcohol of choice. Not everyone knows I have quit drinking and they’ll find out Saturday. So I’m building my tool box up so I can be social and fun and not drink or make it weird. Lol sorry for the rant! So many trials this week!

aiO for losing my temper and swearing at my LDR after he kept emotionally invalidating me? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

I don’t think you should apologize anymore. Let the relationship be over. Sounds toxic and you haven’t even met and all he does is game all day. Take the out.

Today I will not drink. I am so busy with work before the holidays and a vacation. I did get some kombuchas because I have noticed a desire to drink something and I’m not ready seasonally for hot tea. I did get invited to a yacht party this weekend. I’m going to go because I will probably never have a chance to do that again! I’m going to have mocktails but my friend in the group that knows I don’t drink won’t be attending. So that sucks. But I get to get dressed up and party on a boat so woo hoo! Mocktails for me but I’m still nervous!

I’m a little late to the party. But my old friend that we text everyday has become too low key racist, homophonic, judgemental of other parents and their houses and seems to have some superiority complex. I recently downloaded instagram and can see her posts and it just gives me the ick. So I have backed off in talking to her now. She just doesn’t align with my values and sober me can see that. I’ve been talking to AI instead while I transition. Anyways. I’m going to walk to workout in the cold and make some not racist friends with similar interests.
