Oh - I like my idea better. Seriously - restaurant - definitely not. we will just all come here and I think I will serve lasagne and veggie daughter and I will have a veggie something. That will work. Hmm - quite liked the idea of me going to a restaurant although it is hard to find a veggie restaurant here - went to one once here and there were bacon bits in the baked spud - when I pointed them out to the waitress, she told me 'they are only little bits". Right.

hugs - enjoy your dinner jan,

No real complaint--just rough going. Let's see (and remember you asked): I'm still seperated from my wife and children--outlook not good, but I'm turning it over to GOD and my Pastor (just hoping for some final direction). No job and outlook not promising, so paying for home, children etc is crushing/embarassing me. No family or friends nearby. NO real problem being alone, but isolation can wear on you when your mind has tons to "worry" about. Basically, anxiety beating the crap out of me. Positive is no drinking and while the thoughts have surfaced, no real interest, but I'm on guard. I'm healthy (thankfully as no insurance and there's no assistance available for a "single" male which I'm considered). I try to tell myself it's all part of Jesus' plan and I got myself in the family situation, but man how long does one have to be punished for thier past?? And it's freezing here as usual--lol

I'm so sorry Mas. This is a bad time of year for people in your situation.

Time to go back on Antabuse and get the head screwed on straight. I am an alcoholic and cannot drink. My husband has been yelling at me all morning and i think I jammed a finger. 45 days down the drain. I didn;t enjoy it and it wasnt worth it.....Painful silence in my house this morning and I feel just terrible. No sugar coating....hand it to me.....

Your sober time DID NOT GO DOWN THE DRAIN Mama.....one minute, one hour one day one week sober is never insignificant and cant be taken away.....and as for kicking your arse...you are doing more than enough of that yourself. You are a legend.....back on the horse and off into the day sober and wiser

Aaaawww Mas - I am so sorry - and yes, we did ask and I am so pleased that you opened up to us. It sounds really tough for you right now - to me being cold is the worst thing ever! BUT, you are not drinking and this is such a wonderful thing - with all that you are going through - you still haven't given in! That is just amazing - go you! I am glad that you have your pastor to talk to - that must be a Godsend for you. Is there any chance of work on the horizon? This is such an awful time for everyone right now. Will you get to see your children over the Holiday season or not? Have you been in touch with them at all? Do you have anyone where you are? Family, friends? Just stay here with us - we can't do much for you except be here. But here we are! love and hugs to you. try and keep warm!

Thanks so much Saffy!!! How is your pup doing??
Mas....I am so sorry baby. I AM thrilled that you are not drinkiing. I had no idea you had lost your job. Weren;t you a school guidance counselor??How can you be expected to pay child support if you have no income?

I have no job either, so I know how you feel. I guess your wife has decided on divorce? I thought she just wanted a break cause of your drinking, but that seems not to be the case now....
lean on your church and your pastor. My son and I are going to start going back to church. We just talked about it today.
PM me if you want to talk. I wish I was closer.
sendings lots of love strength and prayers

Thanks Sun and Mama. Lots of unknowns and appears it will be that way for a while. No decision on the divorce, so I pray for restoration. Just all very confusing. Sometimes I wonder if just leaving them alone would be best. Haven't accepted that as the answer just yet. I always woke up with my dad there and it hurts to not be there for Cheyanne, Reagan, and Marley. Ugh..............I am happy you are returning to Church and hope it brings you joy--not trying to turn this into the religion thread ;-)
