Alcoholism

All he wanted was chocolate covered almonds and he got recovery

February 13, 2011 By SoberJulie 10 Comments

I often hear in the rooms about people who are about to relapse....how they are just going to drive into the Beer Store parking lot and they notice a fellow AA nearby. Or how they get a call right at the moment from someone in AA. They're waylaid. This is my first experience.Thursday evening I got a text from a fellow AA'er asking if I'm still selling chocolate covered almonds. As every mother of young girls will attest we're usually fundraising in this house for something, right now it's ...

I don’t wanna be the girl who has to fill the silence…1 year!!!!!!

February 7, 2011 By SoberJulie 8 Comments

One year ago I sat in shame, determined to change my ways, having admitted I was an alcoholic and accepting that my life would never be the same I expected to go to AA and find the program which would begin the process. I've spoken about the shame in previous blogs and for those who are or have felt it you know how it feels so heavy, like you've just tread water for hours and can't walk out of the pool heavy.I knew I'd never again be reaching for my wine glass/bowl out of ...

One Day at a Time

February 2, 2011 By SoberJulie 9 Comments

Last February was a HUGE month in my life. On February 6th I awoke after a heavy night of drinking hungover, sick, tired and defeated. It's the day which would forever change my priorities and honesty with myself. This was the day I submitted my life to God's will. February 9th I turned 37....err I mean 27 for the 10th time. February 10th I went to the gym and committed to running a 1/2 marathon with a friend in May. February 26th I was in a car accident which negated the whole ...

Any man can fight the battles of just one day

January 30, 2011 By SoberJulie 3 Comments

Our family just spent a week at Walt Disney World, arrived back home to the snow, cold and chores of unpacking. We had amazing friends who took care of Miss Coco Bean and our driveway was miraculously clear when we pulled in!!My brain feels numb today, it did often throughout our trip but it was easy to ignore it because the entire focus was on the children, their happiness and living truly through them.This trip was well planned for my physical and emotional limitations, we stayed right on the ...

Take away a girl’s dancing shoes and she will find a pair of stilletto CFM boots

January 14, 2011 By SoberJulie 6 Comments

Dancing shoes you say?? I say YES!!! Don't all women have a favorite pair of shoes? I certainly did. They changed over time but irrelevant which pair they were, whether they were the red sexy strappy shoes or my black high heeled boots I just felt FABULOUS in them. I may not have been able to get an instantly flat tummy but my butt certainly got an inch higher !!My girlfriends would come by for pre-girls night out drinks and we would get ready while sipping away. These girls nights generally ...
