          Where in the world is everyone? Here I am sneaking on from work and nobody has been here. :H:H

          Hey Mama - you home from the business trip yet? I got your text last night. Were you gambling?

                OMG! I feel like the world biggest Ass :egad::egad:

                I may be responsiblle for some of Matt's tardys. I thought his late start Wednesdays started at 910 so I would get him there at about 8:50 but it fricken starters at 8:50 !

                He got a detention today and was in tears trying to text me but I couldn't understand what was going on...my husband straightened it all out and the Dean said Matt was a 'very good' sport' but I feel like shit...

                I know it's his responsibily to know his start times but honestly you guys I feel more discombobulated and forgetful since the Topa and quitting. ....
                darn, Darn, Darn... :boohoo::boohoo:

                  Oh Kradle - :l:l What a pain. I'm so sorry. Topa can definitely do that to you. I'm sorry - is Matt ok now?

                    He's watching his favorite tv show now.
                    We've both been talking to him. He says he feels okay....

                    I think he feels better than I do.
                    Thanks Nora,
                    Hugs

                        Feel so bad I was doing so well, then drank yesterday. So now I'm back to square one. Had all the usual feelings, self loathing, panic. Husband looking at me and wandering why I do it, god I wish I knew. We went to a cousins for lunch and she is a heavy drinker, I didn't even drink infront of my husband, he realised when I slept in the car on the way home. I'm so miserable and scared that I wont be able to do this. I truly want to stop drinking so why cant I.

                          Hello
                          I'm new to this, the most I've managed is 72 hours. Would love to try and extend that and realise that one step at a time is the best way:thumbs:
                          I must not become sentimental and thinking about the good times. In the end it just takes over my life and I have no other life.

                            Paula,

                            Unfortunately, you and I over all this time have not gotten to that "place" where we realized that drinking is simply not an option. Period.

                            I remind myself of that every day when I wake up, now. I remind myself of that when I go out and am able to get alcohol. It simply is not an option.

                            Once I tell myself that, then I know I have to do whatever it takes to avoid getting any.

                            Does that make sense?

                            Yes, I still have to repeat that mantra, which is why I am on this thread. It is one step at a time telling myself it is not an option.

                            I am glad you are so honest as to come on and tell the truth. And I am so grateful you are here.

                            We will do this, Paula. :l

                            :welcome: Sober Thoughts!! You found a good place to land. Look at the links Zenny posted. The Tool Box is awesome and the Newbies Nest is a great thread for those beginning with some great inspiration posted there daily by those who have long term sobriety under their belt.

                            As for myself, today, I have all seven grandones coming over to swim and play. It will be busy, messy and lots of fun.

                            Today, I will not drink and I will enjoy my sober life. Drinking is simply not an option.

                            Love,
                            Cindi

                                Morning all.

                                Welcome Sober! :welcome: Glad to have you here. I see that you have already been given some good tips.

                                Paula - I'm sorry. Just get right back up. We are going to do this. I do know that my drinking days are getting less & less frequent. And, they are not lasting for as many days in a row either. That is progress. Sounds like you are the same. We ARE getting there. :h:h

                                Hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

                                Remembr to take it one step at a time.
