        I did it! 53 years old and here is my tattoo. This really means something to me.....take it one step at a time......don't get overwhelmed......don't worry about the mountain, just take it one step at a time.

          I just told my son. (I've lectured him for years not to get a tattoo. ) He didn't believe me so I sent him a picture. He just wrote back......'Who are you and what have you done with my mother'. :H:H:H

            Nora!
            I don't know what o say! I too have told my kids all about he evils of tatoos bu boy owdy is that the best!

            And I was thinking of your thread today and how one day at time is just too large for me; One step is about right.
            Maybe I'll get to a Day some Day and then a week and then a month and then...beyond but right now it is defintely a step             and I know it is in the right direction...

            I may have to get one to

            Hugs,
            :l

            PS: Where did you get it? Did you go to a seedy Parlour run by a guy named Ralph?

              I went to Skull Tattoos. :H Seriously - that was the name of the place. I took two friends with me though so I was safe. :H

                I really can't believe I did it. But, I have been thinking about this for months. This is where I am in life. Working so hard to get away from the always being stressed out....worrying about the future....worrying about the things out of my control. I have reached a point where I am trying to just take one step at a time. And that is how I feel.

                  It did hurt. A few times it felt like he was just cutting a hole in my skin and pulling it off. :H I've heard that the foot is the most painful place to get it though. Could have been worse. I could have had a design with a lot of fill in color.


                  Yes - a message would be nice. Something that is meaningful to you.

                    This seems like a comfortable thread for me to post. I've been a mwo member for awhile, most of my posts were under long term moderator's after my initial 2.5 af months. I drink more than I want to or should, and want to be done. So today is day 1. There are too many of my bottles in today's recycle bin. I want to be done drinking for good. Thanks for your support.

                      Nora.....you rock!! Welcome to the tattoo world! Ha! I have 3....a Native American war shield on my ankle....a huge dragonfly on the back of my neck and a celtic horse on my right forearm. It is my way of collecting art!!!! HaHaHa

                      Sunbeam....you are in a wonderful place here. The people here are so supportive! 2.5 months is an awesome accomplishment. Ok...so you're back on day 1..we have all been back there too many times than we care to remember. I am on day 5 so we are close on AF days. I too had to get rid of my empty bottles...hidden in various places....ugh! I put them in a big cat litter bag so that when I took them to the dump no one could see them through a regular trash bag. Ohhh...the things we do! Best of luck to you and day 1....keep us posted!!!!

                        Thanks, Destiniey, for your welcome. One of my big interests is gardening, flowers and vegetables. I ran a gardening thread here a couple of years ago. I live in the northeast USA, gardening zone 5b.

                          Hello Steppers,

                          Nora, I like the tat. My best friend got one for her 60th. She got a pink ribbon on her wrist. As for the one step at a time place you are in right now: Really, is it any different for anyone else? We just know that our next steps need to be more carefully planned or we take a few more missteps than those who don't have our addiction. This thread is so helpful for us, isn't it? I like not thinking too far down the road, just looking at what I am going to do next and planning for it to be a good step. :l

                          Zenners, You have at least 20 years to ruminate on your tattoo for your 50th. :H:H

                          Sunbeam, :welcome: This IS a wonderful thread with such kind and supportive friends. You will be comfortable here.

                          Everyone else, Hello!!

                          I have my psychiatrist appointment today. I need help with anxiety. I am hoping to avoid taking any SSRIs or MAOIs. The last time I saw her, she prescribed me Baclofen based on Amiesen's book. Unfortunately, my kidneys could not take the HDB. However, I do recall her mentioning some OTC anti-anxiety things. We'll see.

                          Glad to be sober right now and plan on making sure my steps today are in the right direction.

                          Love,
                          Cindi

                            That is probably a VERY wise decision for "most" anyone on this board. I cant count the times Ive heard of someone with a lot of AF time, think they can Mod.

                              Cinders....best of luck with your appointment today. Hopefully she can get you feeling better with some OTC meds and nothing too harsh for your system!
