HI all, I have been around my way out for a few years now but not taking much of an active part except on the meds section, but I want to startbeing more involved so I hope I can maybe join this link. I am a few weeks AF right now and have been strugglinjg with alcohol for years some times getting a few months or a few weeks sober but then drinking again. I dont want to do that anymore so need more support and a more active recovery in place. In the real world here at home I keep myself very isolated and really just have my family who I see, I dont know when but my world just got smaller and smaller over the years and I totally replaced people with alcohol, with the exception of my kids and mum. That has become a very hard habit to break now but coming on line is helping me a great deal.

Hello all-- I am okay-- I appreciate the thoughts-- several nice PMs which I loved! I am still AF-- was just focusing on getting over my illnesses (that string of them) and at the same time hubs has been travelling Sunday night to Friday night so making arrangements for my son when I have not felt good has become a full time job! But I feel much much better and am now ready to put my game face on to watch the Tide (hopefully Roll) tonight. Not doing well at all with fitness goals-- lots of that is just fighting illness-- either not eating or then eating crap that is fast and around. Think next week I should be able to commit more to it-- but hubs leaves again tomorrow night and back Friday!

Mama-- don't beat yourself up about the drinking-- its done and you can move on, near teh end I know I did it as much out of boredom and force of habit as anything else-- which is in our minds and I think that that is what makes it so hard to break. For me my body probably could have said take it or leave it to booze- but my mind always said take it! Please cheer for my Tide tonight !

Ruby-- I am appalled at what happened with your meds. That happened to us with booze once when we had a nephew come stay-- he raided the booze and then hid the empties as if I would not find them-- I am a huge cleaner (plus at the time I was drinking and so I wanted to know where teh heck my beer had gone and I had enough presence of mond to recall how much I had had the nigth before!). I agree a million per cent with you about the pharmaices looking at you like they are going to call the DEA when you ask for refills. When I had migraines and they were more severe than now I used to use the barest minimum but I had a script for Demerol. Only got 30 every 3 or 4 months maybe. They acted as if I was a straight up junkie. so I get it!

Fen--hope you are having fun in the middle of tick hollow.

All else-- missed ya-- will try to check in as much as I can while hubs is outta here.

Hi everyone and welcome Spacey!
Had a bad day yesterday. I was trying to get on my Verizon account the other day and forgot the password and ended up getting locked out, so I contacted them and got a new password but something happened and they ended up changing hubs voicemail password. He was pissed off all day yesterday and acted like a baby about it (drama king) then.... I come home from work after having to work late without a break and my MIL had left me a message on my machine. It stated and I quote " Hi, it's Mom, I was watching Dr. Oz yesterday and it was about a topic that might be of interest to you........perimenopausal RAGE! WTF ??? I wrote down a lot of the information I learned for you but if you want you can go to Dr Oz.com. That's. O......Z".
We got along GREAT when she stayed here during the power outage, so quite frankly I am at a loss for why she felt she needed to pass this info on to me now. Then..... I go to call a friend of mine because I was upset about it and could not remember her phone number so I call 411 except I accidentally dial 911 , I hung up ( I thought) before the call went through but they ended up calling me back to be sure all was well. I told them what I had done and she laughed and said no problem. Then.....the police are at my door because apparently they have to whenever 911 is called accident or not. Then.....my nosy neighbor and apparent town cryer called my daughters and my husband too and got everyone all worked up (God knows who else she called)..I called her later and told her what I had done so she wouldn't have the need for her imagination to run wild and tell people why SHE thought the may have been at my house! Can you believe it?! I have a headache that won't quit today. Oh and I was crying about my weight the other day and hubs was there and I made the mistake of telling him my weight (192) NOW he is constantly calling me to see what I am doing if I exercised yet or not and if not when am I going to. I decided to go back on Jenny Craig as of next week, it will be expensive but if this is how things are going to be i really have no choice I can't be counting calories while I am learning the life of not drinking AL . Jenny is easy calories are counted for you. Hubs will just have to start giving me money for groceries for him and my girls since my money will be tied up in Jenny Craig for as long as it takes. Thanx for letting me vent too:thanks:G

Everyone, so sorry I can't talk to everyone but promise tomorrow! Georgie how would you like MIL living within hearing distance of you? Your fam sounds so much like mine! I always say 'Lord please let me live long enough to be a burden to my children'. And grandchildren. Oh well. Tay has run me crazy wanting to spend money so I did some over-due tough talking to her (jC ran!). She's straightened up a lot. We are NOT on vacation every time we're here!
ATL good to see you. Yes, it's not so much what they take as that steal. Tay won't speak to her former best friend and has discovered the girl's BF is a 'crackhead', complete with sores. Awful. Talk tomorrow buds.

Hi, all. I finally talked with Vicki's daughter and she is in the hospital again...her sugars were too high again because of an infection she didn't know she had. She is in ICU but Sharla said she is doing well and may even get released tomorrow. I had a feeling that something was wrong when I didn't hear from her....please keep her in your prayers.

I have to run because Addy is calling for me....I locked myself in the office for a nano-second so I could use the computer without her trying to get to it!!

Love & Hugs to all.
