Roger - I didn't know that Sue was still not doing well. I'm so sorry. :l

Glad you had a good dinner RC. Now, I'm off to find mine.

Just had to take the cat to the vet. They had to keep her overnight. High temp, dehydrated. They're going to run blood tests, x-rays and try to find out what's wrong.

I'll be back...............

Angie, Jan and RC, thanks for the responses - it is awful when one is feeling so bad! Hate when that happens!!!! I am struggling to stay afloat right now and it really does help to have support.... so happy you are all here for me - thanks :l yes, maybe I should wait until after the funeral, although I am not sure that is why I am feeing the way I am - guess I will wait and see.

I talked to Michael and he is over the moon - he made me laugh!! He won't remember much of this evening unfortunately....... but I am SO happy for him. He is vindicated and I am just really happy that it was over so quickly. It is going to take a week or two to get into the papers - too long to go into here.... but it will be in them in time......

I am going to get to bed - am tired and just want to sleep.....

love and hugs to all - sleep well everyone,

love, sun XXX

Sun - so glad that you talked to Michael. I've been following it all week and have been thinking of them. I hope that they can find some peace.

I'm sorry that you are depressed. Are you thinking of getting back on a different AD? I hope you feel better tomorrow.

Well - I'm trying to fit some of the kids clothes in the few drawers we have. Wish me luck. :H

I'm here! Still sober. Exhausted and wondering how my family ever survived while I was drinking.
Happy to be in my comfy bed sober another night. No cravings either.
Hope everyone is doing well.

Hi Nursie - I'm exhausted & wondering the same thing. I must have really neglected my family. But, I'm not now! Things have changed. And, today I am sober! I will take that.

RC - I would love to have more men here
Oh the phone with Sun right now and we are discussing how to wash boobies!!!

I think if you discussed that type of stuff here you might get a few more men hanging around. Probably not the brotherly/fatherly types you are looking for though!

My days have been smooth for the most part recently, work is a little slow, but I spend about 5 hours a day on the phone, talking to customers and talking youth sports. I'm not sure how well I will fit in this type of thread, because aside from being overly opinionated, I am always looking for solutions. Being that I am in sales, I hate conflict and do everything I can to prevent it or fix it once it occurs.

I appreciate the need for these threads to understand where people are coming from and to really give a human perspective on the individual posts, but I am not really sure these type of threads really need advice or intervention.....which if you read any of my posts you would know I like to do. These daily threads are great to socialize and for understanding and support without a "know it all" like me imparting my 2 cents. So although I do sincerely appreciate the invite RC, I'm not sure I would bring anything of value to this thread. Thank you again, and I will continue to try to read here daily, and if the opportunity presents itself where I think I can bring some value without an opinion or just to check in I will.

Mornin Mama, Nelz, SC and each and every one of our team.... boy SC you and I could have some go'rounds. Here's the deal as I see it. The point of having a daily thread is to become familiar with each other as much as one permits. Up to the individual. As familiarity builds then the hope is that one does not feel embarrassed to "admit" they are struggling and can openly ask for help OR if they have disappointed themselves they need not feel they have to hide away until they "get it right". As thousands of posts will confirm this is not easy. Post as much as you want, if you want but please do it with kindness and empathy not so much suck it up and do it. I understand that has worked for you and others and I'm glad. I've found that rarely works permanently. You may win the battle but will you win the war?? Ok, 'nough of my opinion.
Nelzie hope you found a comfy spot to rest a bit and find your way back after a day of ridin' them mowers.
Nice to see you Nursie and glad all is well with you.
Great night's rest and gorgeous day out there. Smiles to All.

Good Morning everyone - lovely to see new faces to the thread......

I have been busy this morning - sprayed more liquid fence - and this time it didn't go all over me too - :H:H and got two loads of washing hung out - just need to get ready for work now.

I am feeling better this morning and no, Nora - I am not going back on AD's. I will try different natural remedies or just try and work my way through it. As Angie and jan said, I will wait til after the funeral and look at things again.......

Good Morning Jan and RC - yes, it is a lovely day here too - sun is shining and the bunnies can't get to my veggies !!

off to get ready for work.......lovely to see you Nelz - you have done SO well - I am quite proud of you!

Hello friends,

Today I am three weeks sober. I am looking forward to the month mark, myself. :-)

Now that my tummy is feeling better, I am getting better sleep and my attitude about being sober is so positive, I am actually experiencing optimism about my struggle that I have not felt in a long, long time.

I have to go to some nursing homes over the next couple of days to see if they would be good for my mama. This will not be easy but doing it sober and clear headed makes me feel proud.

SC, opinions are not always a bad thing.... Just sayin' :-)

Glad to see others are doing well and sorry to hear of those struggling but know that as long as you do not give up the struggle, you are giving yourself the chance to heal. Bear, a dear friend from a long time ago on MWO who passed, used to tell me "Never give up giving up."

I was always grateful for his advice because he, too, struggled for a long time before he was able to get and stay sober.

The journey is different for all of us. Remember, sobriety is seldom an event, it is a process.

Love,
Cindi

Today's juice--one whole orange/one HALF lemon/pinch ginger. Be sure to include some peel for bioflavinoids. I can throw seeds and all in the vitamixer.
