I was having a think about this whilst doing the washing up stirly. It's good advice and it's obviously well-meaning advice. The trouble for me is that if I'm feeling like drinking it's often because I'm feeling a bit down and if I'm feeling down I generally don't feel very communicative so I do tend to slide off into a corner by myself. I'm not sure that there's an easy answer to that problem?

And a right wee GEM of a l'il woman she is too, Onester! Your children are all beautiful and a mighty credit to ya....GOD Spetember!! Most of the mums I know would see September as four YEARS away and be counting the days....:H Any thoughts on what you may do when all childers are at school on a daily basis? The day can be a yawn, it's good to be busy...

I will miss her so much but I am looking at it as an opportunity for some freedom for myself, kinda like turning a sad situation into a positive!

God, I dunno, but I have the car now so it will picnics and playgrounds and free stuff, money is tight!

For now, two things only, since I've just barely had a peek back over the posts.

I am blown away by what strong Mums there are here in the barracks. I raised two sons who had no problems such as ADHD or any other "disorder" and I found it tough going with the fighting between them, general things that kids do, trying to get them to pick up their clothes, do their homework, etc., etc. My hat is off to you mothers who have children with special needs or who need special help or more attention than other kids do. I would never have been able to cope with something like that and I think you are all incredible. :h:h

And I just want to add my little bit to those of you getting back on the wagon. Each of us has to get and stay sober for ourselves, first and foremost, then for our family and friends.
