I know I've only been around this forum for a very short time (and have been MIA for a few weeks pretty much...) and many of you don't even know who I am but for those of you who were instrumental and supportive of me in the beginning of this journey (that day one, when I sat at my computer SOBBING, writing my very first post...scared out of my MIND about "trying" sobriety and feeling 100% ALONE in the world...) I just wanted to check in and let you all know I am 51 days sober today - YAY ME!!! 
) I would have never gotten here were it not for those of you who immediately reached out to me and held me in your faraway arms, telling me I could do this and letting me know how alone I was NOT!!! Between MWO, Tired of Thinking about Drinking and most recently (and HUGELY) Hip Sobriety, I am successfully managing quite nicely in my little sober car but like some of you others, I am not "happy" about being sober. Still have the "WTF, really? NEVER drinking again?!?!?" thoughts. But! I am sober today, I will be sober tomorrow and that's really as far away as I need to think about for now. SCREW you brain for worrying about next week or next month or next year! Eff you gray matter for going there. HA!
Anyway, just wanted to check in so y'all didn't think I fell off the planet (or the proverbial wagon...). My precious momma has dementia and is living with me until I can get her placed in a GREAT memory care home (have looked at probably 15 or 20 of them and have FINALLY narrowed it down to two so the end is in sight...) and until then, she and my business take up 100% of my time but soon enough, I hope to be able to be more present here AND in my own LIFE! So! On that note, I shall say thank you again to all of you who have provided SO MUCH inspiration and support to this So Cali, 51 day sober gal!
Much love and huge hugs coming to all of you!!! XOXOXO
