This really is a good thread. As I have gone back and read the number of in puts ... Just when I was thinking of giving up. I having been going off the Topamax. Thinking of just doing the Supps Now I'm reading more and thinking, ok... maybe I can do this.

[Thankful]

Hello my dearies,

I know I'm suppose to be taking a break from the boards but I've been worried about Liv and WW. Just had to check in.

WW ~ so glad you are getting some days off. You sound like you are pushing yourself too hard. I know I've missed a lot of posts, but did you ever clairify if you had heart problems or not. Not nosy hun, just worried. Please go easy on yourself.

Liv ~ how are you feeling, sweets? Don't push yourself too early either. Everytime I felt the slightest bit better, I'd get up to do something and BAM. I'd be back in bed for a couple more days. Just stay put til you feel completely better. A relapse is not worth it. And what's this about FL?

MM ~ have a great visit in Vegas!

To the rest of our little gang ~ :huggy

I can't believe I've only been away 2 days. I feel so lost! :H

Love to all of you!! I may not be here everyday, but you guys are always in my thoughts.


CaptJ ~ never give up. EVER! It's all about attitude. Stay positive and focus on your goal. Sobriety = Health & Happiness! I promise!


Love, Me

The way I'm feeling right now - I'm not looking forward to any of it:upset: so ..... ug
I think I need a different antibiotic. I am SICK of being SICK!

WW - you are closing in on the 90 day window??!! What is that feeling like? I am praying for the Tibet crisis - what a mess ... a true heartbreak - I will check the thread for any updates.

Hi everybody,
Just checking in. I have today off from work. I will finish my quilt, and put together info for an upcoming gardening presentation on traditions and myths. I am a zone 5/6 Master Gardener. If you ever need advice, I will be happy to respond through my own wisdom or by looking it up. I sang last night in a very moving Maundy Thursday service which we present every year. The Lord visited us by making the neighboring church bells chime at just the right moment.

Happy spring to you all! And whatever else you choose to celebrate (Easter for me).

Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

Hi Dow,
Sorry.....didn't mean to forget you!! I would love to see your quilt! I used to do a lot of quilting, but haven't done it for years!

Gardening tips....hmmmm, I am in CO and live in a condo, I have a balcony that faces East, early day sun! I want to buy planting boxes that attach to my balcony. I would like to grow some herbs, basil, cilantro, rosemary etc and perhaps some tomatoes............any helpful hints? I miss having a veggie garden, fortunately I have a fabulous farmers market on weekends, very close to my house! But, I would still like to grow a few things. Thanks you, for any help you can offer!!

This forum is pretty addicting when I'm at home, especially if I'm working on the computer. But on most days I'm not home, I don't post on this thread that often, and don't feel left out if someone doesn't mention me.

Kate: Herbs are very easy to grow, and most prefer it on the dry side. I hope your east balcony get at least 5 hours of sun.

I love cilantro, but it tends to bolt (go to seed) quickly. If you want to try it, use the slow-bolt seed or plants. Plants are more likely to bolt quickly.

Rosemary will do very well if you have enough sun. Buy a small plant, and watch it grow quickly. Put it on the sunniest end of your planter. Sometimes you can over-winter it in a sunny window, but they don't make the indoor-to-outdoor transition as readily as we would like.

Basil is very easy to grow from seed. It likes a little more water than the others.

Parsley germinates very slowly from seed, so you may want to buy plants. The flat leaf Italian type has the best flavor.

Sage is also very easy to grow from a small plant. I have trained my husband to use it more frequently. It is usually over-used in stuffing, better as a background note in a vegetable dish.

Cherry tomatoes are the easiest to grow in a container. They need quite a bit of water, and will do best in a separate container, at least two gallons. Tomatoes have enormous root systems. I don't believe those upside down tomato devices produce enough tomatoes to be worth the trouble of watering them.

I hope this helps!

Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

Juliana,
Thank you for all this information!! I will definitely plant the herb garden......perhaps, the tomatoes should be purchased at the Farmer's Market!! I will think about the tomatoes!
I love to cook and I really love using fresh herbs, there is nothing better than going out the door and picking your own fresh herbs!

Thank you again!
Happy Easter
Kate

Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

Hello!

OMG, I feel so so so much better. Everything came to a head and I had a meltdown last night and cried my eyes out. Then I called my sister and we had a huge screaming match, which we needed to, and then it settled into an incredible bonding conversation. Along with matters in Tibet, some lifelong issues with my sister (one and only sib) have been coming to a head. It's because I'm AF, clear-minded, and my self-esteem is so much higher, that I was able to stand up for myself and also hang in there through the yelling and be loving when we finally got to the good part. This was a breakthrough I've been yearning for 40 years. Literally. I am amazed.

Okay - I need to catch up with everybody and everything. I've been missing you. But I wanted to share that good news before I 'dove in' .

Love to all - and thank you! You all helped me to make that happen - don't even think you weren't all right there in it with me!:h

Love WW xx

Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

WW, that's so cool you got all that out of the way!!! Ain't being sober great??

[KateH1]

Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

Oh! WW!! I am so happy to hear this, OK, now I am crying! This has been a long time coming and during that time, I know the pain that this has caused you. Especially where it concerns your dear niece and nephew that you love so dearly. Does this mean that spending time with them will now be much easier? My gosh........they will learn so much from Auntie Wonderworld!! Indeed she will teach them the magnificense of living fully and conciously!!.....................Yippppeeeeee!!!

For sure, this type of a break through could only happen when one is sober and conciouse!!

Love you Lots!!!
Kate
