If you’re into numerology or numerology in the bible, you might know that the number 7 represents perfection.
Spiritual perfection. You know, God created the universe, the earth and the rest of the stuff in 6 days and on the 7th day, he rested.
Everything he created, he said was “good to go” and so he gave it a rest.
So, if 7 represents perfection, then 14 must be like a double dose of good.
Today is the 14th day of sobriety for me. 14 days and I feel strong. Really strong.
I’ll bet 21 will feel 3 times better. Yea for Magnolia.

You go girl
Thanks Peg.
I passed the hurdle of 14 days. I can do anything now.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!
Look at you go.
I’m proud of you and I join in the celebration.
14 down 21 coming. You can do it.
Thanks Cheryl. I now understand why so many people fall off the wagon in their efforts to stop drinking. It is not an easy thing to do and I don’t have near the issues that so many others do.
It’s a humbling point of view.
Plenty issues or not; you’re doing fine. You’ll master this and come out sober, smiling and writing.
No doubt. I’m feeling very hopeful, positive and encouraged. Very.
HEY! I haven’t been by lately but I’m glad to see you are up and writing again. And I’m glad about the not drinking thing too. It sounds like you are doing well. I subscribed to your feed so hopefully I’ll be able to keep up with your adventures.
I’m not much in a writing mood, but feel somewhat responsible now that parents of prodigals links my website. Wolfie is doing well enough. He’s sober too. I’m not happy about some of his decisions but I’m contenting myself with the fact that he’s sober (which is hard enough in itself at his age) and that he isn’t dead (which I’d accepted as a likelihood when he ran off to SF).
I got banned from SL for defending Nibordiz after she got banned. They banned her for “questioning a moderator”. I don’t really know what is going on….the moderation team has gone whackadoodle over there, IMHO. Anyway, I think my time was up there anyway. I’m done hsing and my life challenges are so very different from the ladies there. It is a good thing really.
Thanks for all your support with my son. Your words of encouragement have really helped me.
love, chloe
Hi Chloe, glad to know you’re around and okay. Yes, I keep up with your son. How could I not? He seems to me likes he’s going to be fine. He’s lucky to have such wonderful parents who love him and are so strongly united. I am sure that is what is helping him. Probably, more than you realize.
Well, you can thank SL for booting you out. Now you can do more productive things with your time.
It all just got entirely too strange for me there and I had to move on for my sanity sake.
thanks for stopping by.
This is truly a milestone in a number of ways. I’ve been out of the country and away from a computer so just got a chance to catch up with you. You’re such an amazing and courageous woman and I’ve always admired your strength and honesty. This is another way you are sharing your gifts with your readers.
My very best to you–you’re an inspiration to us all!
Boy Eileen, you have no idea how much of a milestone.
It’s 22 days now and I’m feeling so encouraged. I have a different perspective on people who have struggled lifelong with alcohol addiction.
I wouldn’t say that I’ve sunk that low, but if I can have what is defined as an “alcohol abuse” problem, and have such challenges quitting, I can only imagine how profoundly difficult it is for others.
thanks for the kind words, as always.
