I may steal your picnic idea tonight as it will be the last quiet one for a while, candlelight always warms the soul. <br />Although this was a dank and dreary week for you, your light is still shining bright, your warmth and joy shine like your friendly little penguin. Love and light to you this week my friend, enjoy every extra moment of sunshine coming your way!QuietlyDonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04205907751764908983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816666332655403098.post-83256699111790516172014-12-21T05:56:53.053-08:002014-12-21T05:56:53.053-08:00Great post.

So much going on this time of year and I can't imagine not having my kids with me. I'm also nervous about Christmas and it's only a couple of days away now! Hope you have a great week :)TheMadnessStopsNowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00927344425812729009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816666332655403098.post-57117674706338774202014-12-21T01:14:25.328-08:002014-12-21T01:14:25.328-08:00Hey Daisy

I remember the amounts of tears and emotional turmoil from when I first stopped, and ultimately they were very therapeutic for me. Be happy. love, Do xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816666332655403098.post-12140399460311971192014-12-21T00:10:07.314-08:002014-12-21T00:10:07.314-08:00I cry a lot now too. weird eh? keep at it, sorry ...I cry a lot now too. weird eh? keep at it, sorry its been tough for you. I was told by a friend last week that it can be a good way to take your mind off yourself and your problems by helping others. this is something I am going to consider seriously. eg. there are lonely elderly people at xmas, they would LOVE a visit .....<br />hugs from nz<br />Lisa<br />www.thecword-compassion.comlisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816666332655403098.post-2827227610517489572014-12-20T21:58:03.170-08:002014-12-20T21:58:03.170-08:00sounds like you've been weathering some storms...sounds like you've been weathering some storms indeed.<br /><br />someone (maybe Carrieonsober?) wrote something I read very early in my sobriety which has really helped me - which is that often a stormy patch, if you can get through it, precedes a period of calm and respite. <br /><br />and I have so often found that to be true, so I pass it on to you in case it helps you too.<br /><br />the possibility that we can weather storms, rather than foundering in them, is so new to us, that we don't quite believe it. but it is possible, and the more we do it, the more we can believe it.<br /><br />keep rowing. bale out your boat if necessary but keep rowing! glad you are opening up more to your husband, and getting support from Belle and other buddies. that's all priceless. we're not alone in the boat!

(To find a chocolate pudding well ruined with whisky--that alone would try me!) I know when I quit drinking, I had some big low patches and some super emotional spells early on. For me, it mostly passed, though I have to say I'm more aware of my feelings than I had been when I was regularly pickled! Anyway, the light is coming back soon and we'll have made it through the dark days once again. It sounds like you're doing great despite the tough times. Hooray you! I love your weekly photo posts, too. And that sober picnic sounds truly lovely. xoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08288935120774241198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816666332655403098.post-88645400299418763692014-12-20T14:21:13.226-08:002014-12-20T14:21:13.226-08:00Oh, Daisy I love your weekly sober updates and pho...Oh, Daisy I love your weekly sober updates and photos :-) it sounds like this has always been a trying time of year for you, with the kids going to their father's for the holidays, but this year you have the extra challenge of sobriety. Take care of yourself, and keep that sober toolkit close! Sending peaceful hugs from the US.
