One Step at a Time - July 2012

You will be fine Nora, just a bad patch,and as you say alcohol doesn't help, oh it would initially and then things would seem ten times worse, as we all know, so just come on here and rant or do whatever it takes, but I feel confident for you. I also pm'd Cindi. I'm sure they are both ok, just busy. It's nearly 10pm here and I'm off to bed soon, I have work in the morning.

Good morning - hang in there Nora - I will hang in there with you - I too am once again going through a bad patch - not helped by my doc not returning my calls to refill my AD's!! Actually ran out which really stressed me out - and didn't help with AL either! Do you still have the grands with you? That must be tiring for you too..... just keep taking it one step - you know the drill - love you :l:l

Hey Steppers. Sorry that I haevn't been around much. Just been so busy.

Sunni - thank you so much for being here. I'm sorry that you're going thru a rough patch too. :l I have the kids for 2 more weeks. I love them dearly but I'm tired. I'm going to have my nephews 3 kids starting tomorrow. So, I'll have 5 kids for a few days.

I'm at work now so can't stay on. But, thinking of you all. Let's just keep taking one step at a time. :h

Nora-- I hate to see you sad. Things have not been awesome for me lately either and I just didn't want to bug any of you all but I do read here religiously and I have kept you in my thoughts. I got that drug resistant strep and it is sort of hard to run a household with that, hubs has been traveling a load for work but son has been in some camps so that has worked well actually-- less daytime activity. Hang in there. Six weeks until Ireland for us-- can't wait!

ATL - So happy to see you. :l I've missed you. You never, never bug us. I love hearing from you & hearing about you. I do hope that you feel better right away. You must get better before your trip so be sure to take good care of yourself. :l:h

Hi everyone, seems a bit quiet around here and quite a bit of depression going around, cheer up folks things will get better, as long as we don't drink. Well done Boozer, it does feel good to turn down al. Good to see you back Atl. it's nearly 10.30 pm here, so I'm going to bed, I'm working tomorrow, thats another good reason not to drink. Wishing you all a happy sober sunday

I AM HERE! For a minute anyway....I cannot abandon my family when every one sounds so down. I drank some while I have been here. Nothing disastrous, but I did it. I am officially on day 2, and ya know what? I am ok with that. The first beer was refreshing in 100 degree heat, but I could not stop at one. So..... I have confessed and now it's back to being diligent. I really didnt miss it and I have learned a good lesson. We have worked ourselves to death. I wil post piccies when I get home. I love you all and will be home late tomorrow......xoxxoxoxo

Hi Mama, good to see you. So you had a drink, but it's how you feel about it that matters, and if your ok then thats fine. I really am going to bed now, goodnight.

Mama, we sure have missed you! You have mentioned that your AF stretches have gradually increased, so it might be good to consider that beer event as just another one of those interruptions on your AF path.

Boozer, great job sticking with the coffee. That new behavior mostly gets easier over time.

Sunshinedaisies, we can't have too much sun around here, can't we? Or Sunny Butts, for that matter.

It really had been very quiet on the boards. I think there are way fewer people around that during times in the past when I have posted.

ATL, it is good you stopped by. We need more people posting here so Mama Bear can take a well-earned vacation.

I'm continuing to do well. I was able to hang out mostly at home today, without a particular agenda. That is certainly time that I would have filled with wine not long ago. No More!

Good morning folks, Hi emily and welcome, I'm in the rainy miserable midlands, and just off to work in a theme park that will be heaving with poor wet day trippers. Hopefully I won't be busy, and be able to read. I have given up on the mummy porn book, so boring, just finished the hypnotist, very good. Hope you all have a happy sober day.
