Another sober morning and reflection of another day. A day that could have gone very differently, but thankfully didn’t. We have to move my daughter from one apartment to another. She is in her senior year of college, and has already come down to school early so she can start her job. She goes toContinue reading “August 7, 2018”

I left for the beach yesterday worried (how am I going to sit in the sun with my besties and not drink, laugh, and drink some more with them?) scared (how am I going to be able to tell them I can’t drink, that I have a problem that it is killing me outwardly andContinue reading “August 6, 2018”

I took pictures, and will post if I can ever get them off my camera. The writingContinue reading “Day 8: A Sober Beginning and Ending to These Sober Days”

I’ve settled on beginning with whereContinue reading “Alcohol, Baby, and a Ghost”
