I haven't been able to sleep much for days and find myself wide awake at 1:20 am . I can't lie, my mom's passing is stressful enough on it's own without the pressure I feel to be a main support to my family and to pull off a huge celebration for my mom; she deserves it. I haven't drank again, and don't feel I will. It's nice being focused and guilt free. With the little sleep I'm getting I can't imagine waking up with a hang over. I'm writing a poem, picking tunes, and preparing a PowerPoint for mom's send off. I feel her here and am trying to relish in it. I likely won't be frequent here for a few days but you never know. I know this site isn't all about me but thanks for letting me share about this time with you. You're a great support and we share a common struggle. My family needs me sober right now, and for as long as we live; you've helped me be that. Also, for three month my mom lived here and I'm so glad I was totally alcohol free. Words cannot express how much that means to me. I'm praying for sleep. Take care of my hut and light a tikki torch at my place to honor my mom, please. PS...way to go Peppermint!!! Love RR, RR checking in,

I said and prayer and soon the words came to my lips "go on with your day, do what you have to do and believe" So whenever I start to doubt myself I repeat those words.
