          Nora baby, that's fine. You know exactly now where your support comes from, and the others. I'm sorry your son decided that was OK. He's young, maybe in his naievte he was tempting you to see the result. Who knows. But you have so much more knowledge from a lifetime of how MUCH this has harmed you. It's not his fault, there is no fault. But you know what you have to do, if you want to truly change. And I know, you're worth it. Bad things happen, sober or not, in our lives, but the good, or maybe GREAT ones, deserve every ounce of our attention and participation. I feel like crying when I look at past pictures where I knew I was drinking. All those beautiful people around me, and me, like a drunken cow in the midst. You have your neice and nephew coming. Good. Keep on the antabuse till then, then they are their own shield against it for you. I've seen you in pictures, you're beautiful on the outside, and I KNOW you are absolutely beautiful on the inside. Quit worrying. Quit procrastinating. Take the pill, then take a wall calendar and make a great big heart on the date (preferably a red marker!). Nothing to worry about that day, right? Oh, yes! Your life! :H
          I absolutely adore you, sweet. You don't post but a fraction of what you've had to go through, and keep your family on track. It's enough to make us reach for an anaesthic. But we both figured out long ago that doesn't work. But you have a cheerleader here (I don't do cartwheels, or splits) and as long as you're here to work on it, I am too. :hug

                Nora, I know exactly where you are. You know about all those games with Mrs. Fen and I...she wanted me to not drink...except when she wanted me to. And thought I could go to all sorts of drinking spots and just not drink. Once she read that Susan Powter book, she "got" it, and she's been very respectful since. No more expectations of my white knuckling through fancy dinners.

                Now I can do the occasional fancy dinner with no A, and it's fine. Maybe Scott can read that book, too? Maybe he will understand a bit better why it would suck for you to go to a champagne brunch and not partake...champagne is one of my weak spots, so I know how you feel.

                :l

                  E-mailed ATL, but no response yet. I do hope she is hanging in there.

                    Fen - what is the name of that book? It seemed like everything was ok but there was no way I could go today with it in my face. I want to get past that.

                      You'll get there Nora, I know you will. You're working at it, and that's the right start.
                      Fen, so good to have you back. Hope you had a lovely time there. And I'm so glad to hear you found a way for Mrs to understand. Too many times people have trouble believing what we tell them, till they read it for themselves that's it's not just one person, it's a general problem.
                      Anyway, good to have you back, friend.

                        Nora, it's called "Sober...and staying that way." I think you said you'd picked up a copy?

                          Rubes, it was an awesome weekend. The temperatures are like summer here. I made an outside fire Friday night. Saturday, we hiked for miles at the nearby State park...and then came home, where I split wood with my new "sledge and wedge".

                          I was thinking how this year's St. Patrick's day was unlike my others. No lamb stew, brown bread, and Guinness. I did think about my great-greats who came here from County Cavan in 1847. I drive past the cemetery where they are buried every time I visit Tick Hollow. I am grateful that they were courageous enough to come over here.

                          Anyway, the first A-free St. Patrick's day I've had in many years. :h

                          How was your weekend?
