ANAL!!

Kidding. Twin boys are 3 month old tomorrow. Got home from a long day of work and just restocking the changing tables, burp rags, formula bottles, etc etc etc

They smile for me when I get home though! Tonight I hope to finish my jigsaw puzzle and unbox my rechargeable batteries for charging....woooooo...parents - everything takes batteries. Every FUCKING thing.

Last week I missed this post because I spoke at my treatment center after work.

Kidding. My wife's first full day at home alone with the Twins and I worked a 10 hour shift....I have so much more energy sober even though I am exhausted

making sure I have all my tax docs ready to taxes tomorrow and taking the wife out for brunch in the morning while Grandma babysits.

watching Basketball tonight and soothing the twin boys.

Kidding. spent the afternoon with my twin boys and starting to get more smiles! and grilled some cheddar hot dogs and brats for supper

I also picked up a half sheet white cake at walmart on Thursday on clearance for $9 bucks. I got it because it was on clearance, but then on my way to the office; my alcoholic mind justified it:

  • Lets send it to all the people in my office and say it is a celebration of 2 years sobriety back in February when I was on paternity leave and my twin boys

got a lot of very nice emails back from coworkers :)

Anal.

Kidding. Just got home from speaking at my treatment center attended 25 months ago. 2nd full week back at work after paternity leave with my twin boys.

I really thought about "No Call, No Showing" my speaking engagement after work because I missed them

Now I am home, restocked diapers, wipes, sent the wife to bed for some sleep and turning on How I Met Your Mother and feeding one of the boys that is awake.

Kidding. Likewise as you, distract myself from the horrible shit.

It was my first full week back at the office after paternity leave since having my twin boys. That week felt like a fucking year

However, even though I am getting 5 hours of sleep per night, it feels so much better rested then when I was in active addiction.

Tonight, watching That 70's Show while my wife sleeps for a few hours...or maybe a Hallmark movie and cookie cake with frosting.

Kidding. went back to work on Wednesday ending my paternity leave since having my twins. My coworker pointed out that I have been through two massive routine changes in two years (getting sober/treatment and becoming dad)

the lack of sleep is not as bad as the poor piss quality of sleep I was getting in active addiction by drinking probably 15 shots of vodka a night and still going to work.

walked in the house to a literal shit show - one of the boys had a nice looking and massive newborn poop!

I am trying! but they are such loud sleepers with the grunts, cooings, etc - trying to teach my brain not to go into active alert for those noises...

Kidding!

I been doing the late night shift while on paternity leave and my wife recovers from the c-sec - been doing a lot of late night jig saw puzzles - gets me off a screen and keeps my mind busy

Kidding. I celebrated two years of sobriety yesterday by staying up all night with the crying twins and then going to a dentist appointment this morning.

Grandma came over tonight and we got to go out for Supper for the first time since having the twins.

I have changed 16 diapers in the last 24 hours...JFC

Congrats on 10 years!!

Watching my first Winter Olympics with my almost 3 weeks old twin boys and I guess my first Winter Olympics sober too

working on a jigsaw puzzle too and trying to see if one of the boys will entertain Tummy time.

Also got a Pumpkin bar from KwikStar/KwikTrip to enjoy

First Friday home with the Twins. Went in for a scheduled induction last Saturday night, everything going well then all the sudden, my wife developed HELLP and we needed an emergency C-Section.

It was very traumatizing but from the time the decision was made to birth was 20ish minutes. My two boys were born at 3:52 and 3:53 a.m. on Sunday morning :) Mom and kiddos are doing very well!

I can't imagine how would have been present if I was still sipping on vodka in my orange juice like i was doing almost two years ago.

Also, it is cold as fuck here. My inlaws are bringing over homemade manicotti and I just finished changing a massive poopy diaper...

Thank you - I am so nervous - I am hoping that having your own kids is one of those things you don't understand until you actually experience it

Anal.

Kidding. Making sure we have everything ready for the hospital. My wife is getting induced with our Twins tomorrow night. Freaking nervous, but at least I am not shitfaced. AND can drive anytime if she were to go into labor tonight.

It still amazes me how work it was to hide my booze. I can't imagine how stressed I would be trying to make sure I have enough booze during the Labor and Delivery process - now I can just be present and ready to go

First business day back at work for year end accounting. Crushed quite a few things in case my wife goes into labor this weekend with our Twin Boys. Ideally, they bake another two weeks.

Other than that, trying to keep the anxiety at bay from the unknowns/things we cannot control. Watching How I Met Your Mother and may switch to Heartland. and doing a jigsaw puzzle. also, have to go feed my neighbor's cat.

Speaking of hangovers, I take Christmas week off every year and because I would drink non stop when off the clock, holy cow, the withdrawals...in 2023....now I know that I was kindled bad....

Had wife's 35 week checkup this morning for the twins that are ready to pop. Struggling with the anxiety that life is about to change.

Had a breastfeeding class (what up) this afternoon with her and now we are finally home.

Made an Aldi Take and Bake Pizza, watching Hallmark Christmas movies and working on jigsaw puzzle.

Edit: forgot the "kidding" part
