My husband's been in bed all day and night (now 9.29pm here in Sydney, Australia) coming down off meth (we met in AA 8 and a half years ago). But that's for sharing about at another 12 step progam.
I wanted to go to a meeting tonight but can't go as I have noone else to mind our beautiful 6yo twins. My gift of sobriety.
Having a little pity party but truly, I am grateful for my sobriety.
I'm A LOT better off than I was 8 years ago tonight.
I'm glad I found you all. I'm very tired but I think I'll celebrate with a cup of tea and an episode or two of Sex In The City

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR JENNI, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.
I wish I never started drinking again because we both would be around the same years in sobriety but I relapsed. That is ok because today I am stronger admitting to what I did and am willing to change it in my life. Alcohol took away everything that I loved. I love myself too much to do this to myself again. I was out for a year and it felt like 10! I remember how beautiful it was without it and that is what I'm breathing right now.
Happy 8th Birthday..........Way to go!
