    The Journey begins here so get YOUR ASSES IN GEAR!!!!

    SG, just stand up for yourself. Just because someone gave birth, or created you, does not give them carte blanche over our life and emotions. If you read my recent 'life story' you may have seen I had some problems with my Momma, but nothing like yours. I was blessed, especially by my Daddy, and I know it, see my children trying to be the best parents. Nothing else is important. Hubs once said, 'If I have to fight with someone over what I inherit, I don't want it.' That rang so true when my brother screwed me and my sister out of what Daddy wanted us to have. It's material stuff. I CAN survive without it. Yes, it hurts. But it's what we're dealt, and we can make our own life, be better than that.

      Roger.....that is so frustrating..happens when we are self-employed. Hope it was just a bad day. Sometimes I just want to scream at my customers, but can't of course.

      SOS...know exactly how you feel! My husband came home the last two nights after driving 35 miles of heavy traffic, an hour an half late and so damn drunk he was falling over. Tripping all over apt. Couldn't understand anything he was saying. If I say anything when he is like that, he gets pis**d and starts in on me. Hard to keep my mouth shut! Then next day denies he had a 'problem' the night before. Know it will be the same tonight! UGH

      mama......same thing has happened to me......we are feeling now, we can't drink it away. I'm certain we will learn to deal with life.....sober.....with time. We have so many emotions we have stuffed, denied and drank away for years. We get through this!

      Ruby.....my oldest son is 43, daughter 40 and youngest son 35. My oldest grandson is graduating high school this spring! I just turned 60 and wow, I don't want to lose anymore years. They are just flying by so quickly!

      I have been a prisoner so long, drinking. I find each new AF day I have a desire to get out and just live in the world again. Even just feel the sun, breath fresh air!

      I just want to get through this weekend. Then in the future I don't want to have to dread weekends!

        Ruby and Saving, I am so sorry you have to deal with family members like that! I thought mine were bad, whew, yours sound horrible! MB, once we get liquor out of our systems, we start feeling all kinds of emotions. I get so discouraged when I am on the highest mountain top, loving my life for the first time and then, bam, something happens and I'm 6' under, not wanting to deal with people so I isolate myself and have a "I hate me party", but I think it will level out as we learn how to cope. It is so much easier to escape, I've learned, and I'm beginning to think it will ALWAYS be a struggle to deal with life without alcohol! But the alternative is much worse for us! Love you all so much, Vicki
        I'm not what I should be, I'm not what I could be. I'm definetly not who I want to be,
        but I'm sure not who I used to be!

        There is no pit so deep that God's love is not deeper still.

          Life is a dance, people. Learn to choose your music.

            Yes Ruby......lets DANCE! Well maybe not, but I want to just let it go and laugh again. My kids are all so great! When we are together we laugh, joke, enjoy life! So miss that. No laughter here.

              SG, you still have a choice to choose the music. Sounds like you've got some great back-up I can't tell you what to do, it's your decision. But you are worthy, beautiful, important. Know that. Believe that. And find the courage, soberly, to live the life you, and your children, deserve. I'm not just blowing sunshine up your ass, to put it politely. We HAVE to make a decison, we have to decide, what world we want to live in. I'm here for you if you decide you want to stay where you are, and fight the demons, but I'm also here if you decide you're worth more than living with an uncaring drunk, who doesn't appreciate the woman you are. Sorry if I sound hard; it's a hard choice to change our lives, and I've never had to do it. But, again, you're worth more than sadness in your life, and as Jack Nicholson said to Shirley McClaine in a movie, 'there ain't that many more shopping days left til Christmas! :H' I have begun to really appreciate my finite time on this earth, and what I want to do with it. I would adopt every mistreated person in the world if I could, but I have to start with one person, one day. I'm so proud you've stayed with us, and you've come so far. Now face the mirror and say, 'I'm worth happiness, as often as possible.' Because, it's true. I hope I've not offended you, or been to much 'in yo bizness', but I care about you, and know you can find real happiness.

                      Ruby.......I consider you a real inspiration to me!! I look up to you so much. My kids do not speak with me anymore and live 16 hours away. I haven't seen them or 7 grandchildren is 3 years! My daughter was my best friend. She won't answer the phone to me because I called her drunk about my problems too many times the first year here. She told me if I didn't drink she knew I wouldn't be here. She hates how my life is and can't handle it! I've quit many times. This time, I am quitting for my life!

                      I understand her position. Her husband (younger then her) had a heart attack at 35 years old. They are suffering financially though this recession and medical bills.

                      I am going to make decisions within the next 6 months. Hey, we are broke, husband's been unemployed (day job) the last 18 months, unemployment ran out months ago.We sold a vehicle, things, trying to hold on. No unemployment, no savings. Just trying to work out what I do. I just know AF, with time, I will make the decisions I have to!

                      I thank you Ruby for caring!! Love hearing your thoughts.

                        I hope I didn't over-step, love. I only want you to find peace, and I'm trying, I guess, to force you to realize you are worth happiness. It's really not my place to tell you what to do, and I won't - I'll be here for you no matter what. I almost lost my daughter b/c of my drinking. I've seen the look in my son's eyes, have disappointed my grands, so I'm not just whistling Dixie. I FINALLY saw what was important to me, and it wasn't in a bottle. You are going to make the right decision, you are going to find peace and happiness. Because you ARE worth it. It makes me cry to think of what you've been through, and how hard you've tried. Whatever you decide will be the right, sober, thing. I care about you, hon, and I'm so glad you came into my life.

                          Ruby,
                          I am all alone in this world at this time except for MWO. I can't begin to tell you Ruby how much I care for you!! Hey jump into my life anytime you want!
                          Thank you so much for caring, it so touches my heart!
                          I am done drinking! 24 days tonight!! I going for life now, I'm done dying a little each day with alcohol!

                          Just a side note.....my husband is a musician, made his living with many stars for 30 years then became a graphic designer, IT. Has played around Nashville 3-4 nights a week throughout our marriage of 4? years. Why maybe music isn't my favorite joy right now. My 2nd and this marriage was to musicians, why my daughter couldn't believe I got back into this mess again. It's been my world for 10 years. My business is with musicians. Just kind have lost my joy for it. My Dad was in the music business for many years also.

                          I was married for 27 years to rancher/ farmer....quite a change!

                          I am going to be AF for the rest of my life.
                          :thanks: :l
