This Week on Diary of a Sober Girl

---

I am so grateful to be sober today. I’m grateful for a slow weekend, for my service commitments, for my mom, my family and vacation so soon. I’m grateful for communication, for my sponsor and sponsee’s, for growth, clarity and understanding. I’m grateful for coffee, a quiet morning, and for Timmy.

Goooood morning my friends (: As always I hope everyone had a lovely weekend and is feeling rested for the week ahead!

First and foremost happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms here and special shout out to my mom who has always stood by my side. I love you mom! 🌸💐🌷

Secondly…..only 5 days (including today) until we go on vacation guys and let me tell yah….i feel like im dragging my body to the finish line that is vacation. We are going to Disney (our 20th year!!) and Timmy is coming (the first time we’ll be a party of 5…kinda a big deal…) and genuinely it’s the only thing I can think about. I’m very ready for a vacation (the last time I took a real one was last July so…it’s time).

Last year when we were in Epcot (I can’t remember if I told this story to you guys or not then) I was SITTING IN A ZOOM AA MEETING and I was starving and I just wanted to eat something and of course being that I was in Epcot - the options were booze, booze, booze, Rum Cake (hard no), booze, booze, booze. So I’m crying in an AA meeting because I’m just hungry and if I see one more “Drinking Around the World” shirt I’m going to freak out. Eventually I found an ice cream shop in France and cried and felt better.

BUT THIS YEAR - I am silently protesting. I bought a “Sober Society” shirt and I am secretly hoping I accumulate friends of Bill that day so we can at least be sober in Epcot in solidarity. (My emotional sobriety over the past 6 months has gotten much more secure I promise, just let me have this).

While I am aware the rest of the world doesn’t stop drinking when you do, and while I myself have “gotten drunk around the world” being around SO much alcohol can be hard, and my petty shirt makes me feel just a little better (;   

So anyway, you’ll get a post from me on Monday (we’ll be in Magic Kingdom - no booze except for at sit down restaurants) and I hopefully will be on my way to some serious (and magical) decompression.

And so to round this all out, shout out again to the moms, there’s lots of things I’d like to say but I think the best way to sum it all up is…thank you 🤍
