This popped up in my TikTok today. If you have TikTok, take a listen. Motivation for your end of week! https://www.tiktok.com/@terrykaye/video/7364842976322850090?_t=8m4HgDyiPfO&_r= I needed to hear it! Do you?

@ahoy_m8 I’m glad we could give you a laugh especially while your on this emotional roller coaster with your friend’s estate. As for accountability even if you can’t come here to post, at least write it down. Keep a notepad by the bed and just tally it every night as you go to bed. When you have time and energy, you can…

AF = 3 A = 0 Still no wine. Visited MIL and though she was just back from dialysis and tired, she looked more rested than she was the last time I saw her.

@chicbuc I can get behind your “wine” decision! Princess and you are very blessed to have each other.🥰

We are definitely more happy with MIL’s care at the new facility, and she seems less stressed. So, we’ll keep checking in daily. 30 bottles in this house probably wouldn’t last 2 months, I’m sad to say. But, that’s really good if you can make it last. I can easily go buy wine from the store 2 miles away, but I’m trying to…

AF = 2 A = 0 No wine in the house. I made some egg muffins today that turned out amazing! I had 1, my son with autism had one and said it tasted like pizza, and hubby had 4 and said I could make more. 🤣🤣 The best part… only 154 calories per muffin!

@SunnyDays930 I think I was like your family with my rottie that had to be put down. I just couldn’t do it. My husband had to do it. Then, he came home and cried like a baby. With our cocker/lab mix, we both went after she collapsed in the yard. That poor sweet thing was ready to go. She had already beaten cancer, but she…

But April showers bring May flowers, right? So, I’m hoping May will be my month to bloom! I’ve only been back on my path for 2 months, and I haven’t been able…

AF = 1 A = 0 Starting May out positive! 1) MIL is now in a MUCH better facility! This place is amazing! The staff is attentive and seem very happy to be there and helping their patients. I pray MIL sleeps well tonight now that her anxiety has subsided from the other facility. 2) I made a plan to deep clean my house this…

Present and accounted for May! Please God let May be better!

AF = 19 A = 11 Haven’t drank yet today, but I’m going to mark it an A day just because of MIL BS. Not horrible April stats. Only one of those days was a full bottle of wine. The others were 1-2 glasses.

AF = 19 A = 9 @Womona, thank you. My husband went and spent most of today with her. He threw around the lawyer word, and it got some attention. The Admin Mgr he spoke to said she was “appalled” by the staff’s actions. I guess we’ll see what happens. @chicbuc, we both will gladly accept that hug! I know I’ve been rather…

AF = 19 A = 8 Yeah… already on my 2nd glass🥴

It’s a rehab facility for post hospitalization, but it’s also a nursing home. I’ve been at the facility since about 9:30 this morning and it’s now 3:00. I am so irritated with this place! The response times are AWFUL! My MIL slipped out of bed this morning before I got here, and she has been here since Thursday and wasn’t…

AF = 19 A = 7 Still no wine in the house, but I’ll be damned if that whiskey bottle wasn’t calling my name last night! I couldn’t sleep which didn’t help either. But, I did resist the urge. I went to bed around 11:00 when I finally was tired. @Michieb125 she’s supposed to only be there for post acute rehabilitation, but we…

AF = 18 A = 7 MIL was moved to a nursing facility yesterday. There’s definitely pluses and minuses to this move. Didn’t drink. Don’t have it in the house. Really stressed about MIL, going back to work, and other very specific things regarding my kiddos. Instead of drinking I’ve taken to adult coloring books. I never…

AF = 17 A = 7 Good morning everyone. I hope you all have a good day!

AF = 16 A = 7 Visited MIL this evening. She’s doing ok. Heading to bed. Lots to do tomorrow.

@MsElphaba thank you. Making time for me and the things I like to do has always been the last of my priorities. After the husband okayed it, I quit work and was looking forward to putting energy and effort into me, my health, my faith, my being. Then, my MIL who lives with us ends up in the CV ICU (still in the hospital).…

AF = 15 A = 7 I had two bottles of wine sitting on the counter that had less than 4 oz in each. So, I finished those last night… I’m telling myself it was in an effort to declutter my kitchen, but really I wanted wine and it was all I had. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Glasses are being fixed, job interview today at 3:00, woke up to a nastily…

I’m super depressed and hate how…

AF = 15 A = 6 Surprisingly, I did not drink tonight and will be heading to bed momentarily. Too much stress, and my husband has now decided I have to go back to work. (Don’t know if I’ve said that yet or not. I’ve been hoping he’d change his mind.) I just applied to a couple jobs this evening with a company where I know…

AF = 14 A = 6 Last night was prom night for my son. I was the driver. Didn’t get home until 11:30. Also, smashed my very expensive glasses, so if this is riddled with typos, it’s because I can’t see. 🙁

AF = 13 A = 6 Drank 2-1/2 glasses last night before hubby finished his movie and declared it bedtime. The past few times I’ve had wine at night, I didn’t feel so well in the morning… light-headed verging on dizzy and stomach pains/nausea. I’m not drinking enough to be beyond tipsy, and I never get a hangover after that…

AF = 13 A = 5 Not sure if I’ll have a drink tonight. It depends on if I stop at the store on the way home from the hospital. @SparkSpringtime69 I think it’s excessive too, but she’ll be in the hospital long enough to turn around.

AF = 12 A = 5 Drinking the last 2 glasses from the bottle I bought yesterday. Visited MIL this evening with hubby. She’s doing good, but she was in a bad mood. She is behaving like a 10 year old, and the doctor said it is usual after this procedure for them to act childish for a few weeks afterwards. She better turn it…

AF = 12 A = 4 Bought a bottle of wine last night. Only had 2 glasses.

@takinitalloff and @deepwoodslady Thank you for the your thoughts, prayers, and encouragement. I appreciate it very much. Unfortunately, my husband and I are kind of alone in this with his mom. His brother lives too far away and is having medical issues of his own making it difficult for him to be around for any length of…

AF = 12 A = 3 Had a glass of wine with dinner last night, but resisted the urge to go buy a bottle on the way home. Thank you all for the thoughts, prayers, and encouragement. I appreciate it. I know this will all be behind is soon enough, and life will go on at a normal clip. Just ready for normalcy. 🥴
