    Why is this so hard...continued.

    Good morning, I was going to start by saying that it's great to wake up on the green side of the grass as compared to the alternate, BUT there has to be grass on the ground first. Where I am there is only sand so I will make the most of it and still enjoy the day.
    Hope that everyone has a great day as I am going to do my best to do so.

        FT as long as you stay in the battle you are going to win! Every day, hour, minute you take control wins you more solid ground. Keep advancing.
        Psalms 119:45


        ?Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.?

        St. Francis of Assisi



        I'm not perfect, never will be, but better than I was and not as good as I'm going to be.

            Beautiful day today,
            Was tempted last night by some people to go bar hopping but I chose to chill at the hotel, and boy was I glad this morning when I woke up feeling fantastic.

                  Good morning,
                  Went to dinner last night with a few co workers and the strongest thing I had to drink was Ice Tea. Wonderful Monday morning feeling great.

                    Good morning all,

                    Well got home and did "NOT" fail as the usual is when I get home and to my empty house it brings back the flood of feeling sorry for myself stuff, but last night I was able to push it off and went to bed early and woke up this morning feeling great. I find that reading this web site when I have that feeling helps curb the desire, so THANK YOU ALL.

                      Still doing well, have a doozy of a cold right now and would love to have some Niquil but that has alcohol, so its other fluids and rest.

                            FT,

                            I am going to Chicago this weekend and it scares me to death.

                            It is amazing to me how well you have done despite the travel.

                            I learned to drink traveling. Sitting in hotel bars, etc, etc,...

                            But, at the end of the day, I need to take care of my family. That is what I do.

                            I am very proud of you that you can stay sober, travel, and live.

                            I look to you as my hope. I can do this.

                            Love,
                            Cindi

                              Hi everybody,
                              Well on the road again in Asia this time and the temptations are great, I have been tempted and admit to having caved in and am upset with myself. Did some refocusing today and wrote down my feelings and issues at hand, most added up to self pity and being away from home. But that's no excuse as I know better and need to address those issues. Did something today that I have been to lazy with recently and started my meditation again and it really allowed myself to regain focus and relax. I will be heading home next week so that now gives me something to look forward to and to see my son. The bad thing is I will probably not be home for his 15th birthday and that saddens me but I have to be able to pay the bills.
                              Anyway now off and running to get myself out of this funk that I am in and appreciate all your support.

                                Hey FT --- somehow or other I completely missed this thread until now - but I see RC and Cindi have been keeping you company I too would find travelling solo - hotels etc. very tricky, but you obviously want to be sober, so I reckon you need to have a plan in place for when you are away. The meditation sounds like a great place to start. Don't worry too much about your sons birthday - he knows why you are away - to keep the family afloat - you can spoil him with some nice 'foreign' gifts when you get home
