Good afternoon all. Feeling alot better this afternoon. Couldnt sleep atall last night, so took a sleeping tab at 1, that knocked me out until 12 today, so i feel alot more refreshed. Woke up to a big plate of scrambled egg on toast made by my G/F. What a star! Gotta say, shes been alot more caring since my last cock up. No shouting or leaving me, just alot of love. Dont know if i deserve it, but i feel so gratefull for it.
Anyways, laptop is going back to G/F's for a bit, so have a great day all.

Hi G, Rubes, Limers, Hipps, OneTwo... is that everyone so far? Ruby, welcome back! Hipps, you are sounding good, man-friend! Limers, it's great you are bouncing immediately back into the fray after drinking; do you have ideas about how it happened, and what to do when it starts looking as if you are tempted to do that again? A specific situation, or triggers you could work with or around?

G, glad you are making connection(s) here. That is absolutely vital to recovery. Many of us are strong and stubborn, and also embarrassed, as well... I am certainly like that. It's hard to find ways to get and stay connected with people who will help with alcohol problems, for people like us. It takes work, it isn't always easy at all. Many times since I have been here, I have been right on the edge of walking away... not necessarily because I want to drink, but because it can be so difficult to be in a "community" that sometimes has a bit of conflict and craziness (and drinking) going on within it. But I know that if I were to walk away, I would be in MUCH greater danger of drinking...

So, stick around, OK?

Limers,

Sometimes I forget to quit the counting thing and look at the overall picture.

I have been sober so much more in the last year than I have been in the last 30.

Do I wish I was perfect? You bet.

Am I glad to be here and keep trying? You bet.

The option is bleak. In my case, it is a fight for my life. Truly.

Love,
Cindi

Good for you, Greg! Yeah I'm doing very well, it's been a godawful hard year but things seem to be looking up... and that would NOT be true if I had not stopped drinking. Coming up on 90 days AF. Making some changes in my life, major changes, and it's scary but good.

Good for you, Limers, for figuring out your triggers and dangerous times/situations. Sometimes I think I have all of them pretty much figured out... and then something catches me unawares. Takes a lot more work, determination, etc., when that happens.... but I try to keep in mind one of my mantras: I am in control of my behavioral choices, and the choices I make right now will determine the quality of the rest of my life.

Hey, Cinders, sounds like things have been rough lately... did you go off the antabuse? You OK?

Hey Cy, glad you are feeling better today!

I have to go visit Mother today, then have people coming over for Book Club. Better get moving, those guests will want me to give them food... and wine... but I will have a lot of green tea brewed and chilled, and coffee ready to go.... Fortunately, they are not heavy drinkers. The heavy drinker in that crowd was me...
