    The Journey begins here...So Get your ass in gear for april

    Hubs said 'and we just got our new roof!' I hope it doesn't damage the dogwood. The doors and windows are open here and the smell is incredible! It's supposed to be 30 degrees colder tomorrow, tho. Bummer!

      The Journey begins here...So Get your ass in gear for april

      Hey, Nora! How are you doing today, sweetheart? I hope you feel better. Sunni, this is what I long for all year long, planting a garden! This year, it may be a little too big for me to handle, but Paul helps me alot. We have 6 rows 150' long! I've got 3 rows planted, gotta take a break, then back to planting before the rain comes! Ruby, did the weather stop your and hubs yardwork? Thanks for that website. That is a big storm that is going to hit me, Roger, Ruby, Grateful and Trucker! I hope we don't have hail. I grew all my plants from seed so they are very delicate! I hope everyone is having a good day! I love you all, Vicki

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

          Sunni, I planted one row of tomatoes, one row of peppers (all kinds), one row of cucumbers, one row of okra, one row of squash and zucchinni, one row canteloupes and one row watermelon! It's all planted and no rain yet. What all did you plant in your garden? Where is everyone today? Grateful, Trucker, RC...so many haven't even checked in. Anybody hear from Roger? Praying everyone is okay.

            I'm so sore, too, Vick! Wind is getting wicked here, beginning to get cloudy. Be safe, all.

                  Having another fight with drug addict daughter. I always feel she will do something to harm herself after I confront he with her lies. She tries to turn everything around and when she is finished I am the one that feels crazy. I am going to pray for Gods help. I will not drink and I will not get angry. I don't have control over what she does. I do have control over what I do. I have 2 other wonderful kids that treat me with respect. I have a husband that loves me. I have tried my best to help her and have loved her more than I love myself. My heart aches but I will be strong.

                    Hi there - I am home from work. Buffy - welcome. I am so sorry about the problem with your daughter. As you said - you have no control over what she does. You can only control the way that you react to it - you cannot let it get to you - although that is so much easier said than done. Does she live with you? Can you get her into a program? would she do that? How long has it been going on? What does your hubs think about it all and say? Please come back and vent and talk to us. There isn't much we can do except be here for you and support you, but we are good at that.

                    Ruby - I have no idea where everyone was today - except me of course - and I - surprise surprise - was at work!!! However, I am OFF TOMORROW -------YEAH !!!!!!! I am going to go into St Louis and see about getting Ben a thunder jacket and also pop into whole foods while I am there. I also have to hoover and tidy the house - it is a bit of a mess right now. then I work Wednesday and Thursday and then have a whole week and a bit off. I was really hoping to go and visit RC in Canada but it keeps falling through, due to the dogs and then to cash - my mum is coming over and I am paying her fare and I can't pay to go to Canada AND pay for my mum to come here so I am very disappointed. I am hoping though to see Fennel for a few hours - we might be meeting half way between here and where she lives. I so wish the USA was smaller. I would love to meet more of you. I want to meet Jan, and I want to meet Grateful, and Vicki, and Bird and Ruby of course, and Rog, and Nora. I wanted SO much to go to Canada - we thought we had it planned but it all fell through. Here is just all TOO BIG.

                    Well, I am going to get going. I will be back in the morning. I hope you all weather the storm okay - the little bit of it that we had last night was awful. Love and hugs to you.

                      Hi

                      Wow! I had been doing so well. I have gone as long as 35 days AF. Then I fell! I had a four day binge. The I resolved, again, to stop! I drank today.... I am miserable. I am so frightened by the changes that I am facing. Yet, instead of putting on my big girl panties and dealing, I drank. I let my God down, myself down and broke the heart of my wonderful husband. We are separating for a while to see if I can get my shit straight and stay AF. Packing up 10 years worth of belongings and moving them to a storage unit knowing I will not be with him for a while has me nuts! How in the hell could I do the one thing that makes it worse? It blows my mind! I am so mad at myself. I can not look myself in the mirror. I am petrified of being alone. I am not alone. I have a wonderful support system that thankfully, I have not yet alienated. However, without my husband, I feel very alone. I have to stay AF, not only for him and our marriage, but for me and my desire to live. I am completely aware that alcohol will kill me if I continue down the path of self-destruction. I am also fully aware that I will eventually destroy all the wonderful relationships that I have in my life if I continue to choose alcohol over them.

                      I baffles me that I chose alcohol today. All I had to do was not drink. It sounds so easy! It really should be easy, right????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????

                      So why is it that I could make such a careless, selfish decision? Self-pity is certainly a demon for me. Yet, I know that alcohol and drinking only makes it much worse. I just have to get through today without drinking. I will worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.
                      Thanks for letting me vent. Any words of encouragement or advice would be greatly appreciated.
                      Thanks so much!
                      Taking it one day at a time! Lord, I seek your will for my life.

                        Goodmorning everyone. Boy winter is fighting back, we got more snow and cold weather here - should only last a day or two. I am ready for spring, let's bring it on.

                        Sunshine, yes I did have a nice Sunday. Boy, you sure do work a lot of shifts, on the weekends too?
                        Vicky, that sounds hilarious. Those little guys are very cute though, when not surprising you. That is one the largest gardens I have ever seen - no wonder you're sore. Are you putting in hot peppers? I always put some smokin' hot ones in my garden - although my garden is tiny compared to yours.
                        Want to stop, addiction is a complicated and difficult thing to battle and defeat; you are not alone, we have all been in your shoes. You ask many valuable questions, and it may take time, reflection, and sobriety to get to the answers of some of them. I wish I could reach over the net and give you a big hug. Hang in there, you can do it, one day at a time.

                        Have a great day everyone,
                        Hill

                            I am sitting here in the MIDDLE of the storm...thunder, lighting, tornado warnings....and I need to get to work.
                            Welcome Buffy and Want...please join our loving family and tell us about yourself. 35 days AF is great...hold onto that and take it one day at a time. Buffy, I am sorry about your daughter.
                            Grateful...do you have the flu??? Poor baby...
                            I have to get on the road but will check in and let you know I made it
                            hello to all...I love you all so much
                            I love my family more than alcohol.:h
                            Live in the Solution....not the problem
