    One Step at a Time - July 2012

    just home and hot and tired
    it was an early start...2 hour drive, but fun
    my 12 year old neice was there and she thinks I am the bomb so we played make up and hair and swam after everyone left
    no beer for me
    gonna flop for a bit
    Love and hugs to my precious friends that are struggling right now
    I love my family more than alcohol.:h

      One Step at a Time - July 2012

      Hi Rc, when I bike I try to get out the door by 8:00 and back by 10. So it was only 80 when I got home, not too bad. I read and puttered on the patio until the temp reached 90, then sought refuge the ac of our home.

      Mb, aj, Paula, sounds like the day wasn't too stressful.
      My life is better without alcohol, since 9/1/12. My sobriety tool is the list at permalink 236 on the toolbox thread under monthly abstinance.

        I had fun.
        Since I have two sons I never get to play dress up. And as you can tell by my avatar, I'm kinda girly
        so putting make up on my neice and watching my PLAIN sister pitch a fit was quite fun
        My neice, Addie, begged me come live with her in Cleveland.
        She giggled and said, "Mom will be terrified that you will let me get three ear peircings and tatoos all over my face!"
        I said no...that would never happen as I want her to be a proper young lady, but she could hold my hand while I get botox
        tee hee
        (and no offense meant to my buddies here with tats and piercings)
        but she is only 12......

          You are hilarious and a gal I would love to hang with. I love your posts. My 20 month old granddaughter is a sweetie and I am enjoying all the girlie stuff with her too. She comes to the lake house most weekends.

          This weekend hubs and I are just going up to the lake by ourselves; no friends, kids or family. We never do this. It will be a treat. I have to leave the following Thursday for Vancouver to take care of my very sick mother who is stuck in a hospital across the country from her home as you probably remember. I WILL NOT let family stress be the excuse to drink booze. Day 15 and I am halfway to the long awaited 30 days. I'll be in Vancouver on the 20th and will make a point to go buy myself a little something.

          Instead of brooding about having to spend 11 days with a semi-conscious, angry, confused old mom, I plan on making the most of my trip; spending time at night with my 7 and 12 year old niece and nephew, continuing my French lessons while Mom sleeps, walking to and from the hospital, practicing meditation in the hospital chapel and maybe even doing a bit of a detox; might as well.

          Hope she doesn't die while I am out there. Now she's got internal bleeding on top of everything else.

          I hope everyone is staying strong and true to YOURSELVES. That's what this is about. Hubs said he wants to join me being A/F this weekend as there will be no temptation and he is sick of being bombed every weekend at the lake house. Hope he does.

          Sending strength and serenity vibes out to all of you lovely peeps. :h

                  Hello Steppers! Sorry that I've been missing. Busy, busy, busy. Fun times but hectic.

                  Got to get busy here at work but I'll be back.

                      Trying to read back......

                      I see that Zen offered me some fattening comfort food. I should have been here to place my order. :H:H

                      RC - Loved the moon pics.

                      Mama - you are sounding really strong.

                      Actually, so many sound really good & strong here lately. I am back on antabuse myself. It's just better right now to stick with that. I don't feel like the Naltrexone is helping that much.

                      Well - back to work. Happy to see so many people posting here.

                        Aww Nora, my dear.:l

                        You don't know how happy I am to see you back on the antabuse. Go on admit it, you enjoy your sober time
                        It could be worse, I could be filing.

                              It all boils down to self-love. We have to learn to love ourselves .. a Herculean Feat!!
