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

    Roger, THANK YOU SO MUCH for the wonderful pep talk. We all need it so bad right now. We all love you so much, Baby! Thank you for calling me today with so much encouragement! You are so awesome! I talked with Grateful this afternoon and she is going through alot of stress, too, so let's all pray for her. Panno, good for you! Your strength is encouraging to us. Sunshine, you are here to get help like the rest of us, not to impress anyone, so do be honest. We all love you so much! I HATE that alcoholism is so progressive and we can NEVER just have one. Hang in there, sweetheart, this is a very tough journey, but we are all here for you and one another and you have my cell and home # so PLEASE call me anytime you wanna talk. MB, good for you! It sounds like Ruby is giving you alot of great advice. Hey, Rubes, we could all use some tough love about now. Well, I am feeling better now. Things aren't quite so dark and I have hope and the willingness to try again. That's all I can do, just take one day, one hour, one minute at a time and NEVER look backwards or forward, just concentrate on the moment. You know I learned alot from this experience. Yes, I was having ALOT of stress. Paul had quit drinking for 6 days and was a real pain and then all this rental house stuff happened and it really hurt my feelings that I trusted someone so much and got so screwed over, and so I wanted a drink. I wanted to numb myself out so I would have a little peace and it was nice at first, but the more I drank, the more I wanted it and the rest is a complete blackout! I used to could drink a fifth, but I got drunk way faster this time. So Roger is so right, we have to LEARN from each mistake we make and get right back up and start again. I'm just so thankful we have family that accepts us with all our baggage, loves us and encourages us. Thank you all and I know God will bless those who help others. Okay, everyday I read a little devotion and today's was so perfect for me and all of us struggling, so if you don't want to read it, that is fine. I just hope it encourages some of us. I love you all and hope you all have a good night. Love, Vicki

    but I'm sure not who I used to be!

        Dear Lord, please always let me see in everything befalling me,
        A spark of light that I may know that through it all You will it so.
        May every silent pain I bear become for me a golden stair,
        That rises high above the woe our human hearts were meant to know.
        May every little heartache felt, each disappointment roughly dealt,
        Uplift my soul that I may be a fire that brightly burns for Thee
        And through life's waters dark and deep, may thy blessed presence keep
        Afloat the boat in which I ride until I reach the other side.
        For I am but a timid soul in need of Thy dear hand to hold,
        Ever trusting Thee to lend the strength on which I can depend.
        Amid the trials Thou has sent however plaintive my lament,
        I know my tears and sighs and groans are only little stepping stones.
        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.

            So good to see you back Vick. Yes, I'll talk straight and hold you accountable. That's what we lose when we drink, (among other things) accountability for our actions. You, everyone here, are too important to lose to this disease. So, when it rears it's head again, remember - I'm accountable for my next action.
            Love you all.

              Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

                        Good morning, my precious family! Today is going to be a GREAT day! As Roger always said, we are the writer of our own book, so let's choose to make this one a great day. I couldn't go to sleep last night so I stayed up until midnight reading my book. I seem to wake up every hour and finally just got up at 6:30, so I be sleepy and on my 2nd pot of coffee! I love you, guys and I prayed for each one of you while sitting on the patio drinking coffee this morning, so I am anxious to hear about everyone's blessed day! I love you all so much! Vicki


                        Yep, this looks like my night. Sure wish I had a cuddly partner though! Paul don't do cuddly, but my chloe does!
                        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!

                          Endurance
                          Life has many ups and downs, the bitter and the sweet.
                          Each day is filled with problems which tend to make us weak.
                          But through our faith and Jesus' love, we will endure the trials,
                          And we'll find our burdens lightened as we walk another mile.
                          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.

                                PAN! That is just WRONG on so many levels!!! Who taught you to use Photobucket?? (Oh wait, never mind!) :H
                                There are times, days, I feel like I'm losing more than I'm gaining, you know? Trying to tie up lose ends and get out of here, but even my time at the cabin is already designated. YUCK!
                                Sometimes, this is me (Tony and T, I know YOU'LL love this!)
