    One Step at a Time - September 2012

    Hey all.....

    Dixon - Thank you for your good posts. Yes - every big accomplishment is a series of small accomplishments. So true!

    Sun - sorry you're not feeling great today. I want to find the time to go down Mario's list too. Will try to find some me time this weekend.

    Paula - I am glad that your friend called you. Maybe this will make her think before doing something like that to someone else.

    Slay - you are doing great!! 14 days! :goodjob:

    K9 - Look at you cooking. Whoo whoo. We threw a frozen pizza in the oven. :H Well at least it was a spinach pizza from Trader Joe's so that was a little more classy. ROTFL

    Mama - I hope you can figure out some way to treat your burn. I'm really sorry - I know how bad those hurt.

    Allswell - you made a good point about easier to have the craving pass than getting back into thinking about it on a daily basis again. I don't want to think about it daily anymore.

      One Step at a Time - September 2012

      I got a call from my brother this afternoon wondering if I had talked to our parents this morning. I asked him what was wrong. Well, my Dad has been having more problems breathing lately. (I've even asked him on the phone what was wrong because I could tell he was short of breath) He's on oxygen so it must be bad. Dad called yesterday and was able to get an appointment with his lung specialist. Well this morning at about 3:00 am, my Dad couldn't get his breath. Really thought he was doing to die. My Mom was trying to use the phone to call my brother and she couldn't. (She has the beginnings of Alzheimers and has problems using the new phones they got.) Anyway, I guess he finally was able to start breathing normally again.
      My brother took them to the Dr today and they are running blood tests (checking for heart problems), chest x-ray, breathing treatments, steroids, meds, etc. They are not sure what is going on for him to be so much worse in the 6 weeks since he was last seen by this dr. Thinking that it's possibly an allergy to something in the house. (This happened a few years ago with a buckwheat pillow & it almost killed him).
      Anyway, they sent him home and are rushing the test results. Hopefully will know something by tomorrow.

      Thanks for letting me get it out here. :h

        Praying everything is OK Nora, thinking of you and your family.
        2023 - focus, getting it done, and living the way it should be and being the person I need to be.

              Hi All!

              Nora - I hope your dad is okay...I will be thinking of him! Good job on the spinach pizza, nothing screams "class" like some Spinach. LOL We had a leftover pizza that we bought on Monday, they were 2 larges for $8.99...yes they taste like cardboard with ketchup on top but hey, we're on a budget. LOL

              Yes Mama, I washed the sheets! They're actually very nice, what a deal for $4.99...they never come with pillowcases though...but HOW picky can you be when you shop at the Goodwill??? I also got a cute purse for $1.99...but it smells like smoke. I'm gonna put a dryer sheet in it...see how creative you can be on a budget? HA

              Let's see...not much else going on except OH YEAH I'M ON DAY 11 SMOKE FREE! Sorry to shout, but I haven't made it this far in a looooong-ass time. HA

              Thanks for acknowleging my wonderful-ness Mama, the Mayor is still out.... LOL You're pretty wonderful yourself! You too Nora :h

              Alright...guess I'll go shuffle some papers. Back later.

              Hope your 43 heals soon MB!

              xoxo
              :heart:I love my daughter more than alcohol:heart:

              Believe in yourself. You are stronger than you think.

                  So there is still hope for some Baby Momma Drama!

                  I haven't had much action today yet either...I'm sure it will pick up soon. Hey, we had 2 minutes of rain last night! Don't worry, I rode out the storm and came away unscathed.

                    Morning folks. Thanks for the prayers. They help.
                    No answers from the Doctor yet. He definitely has Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis in addition to the emphyesema & COPD. He's going to get started on the steroids, etc. and wait for the test results.
                    My hubby is about the same. Has an appointment with the neurologist Sept 25. So, if it continues to be this bad, I'll take him to emergency and then maybe they'll do an MRI there.
                    Ok - enough about me.

                    K9 - great on the not smoking. You go girl.

                    Mama - hope you have an non-drama day.

                    Allswell, Sun, Paula, Dixon, Slay, Real and everyone else that reads this thread......
                    HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                            Hi friends,
                            Nora, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

                            I am continuing to work on what I am now calling my Action for Recovery list, which Mario originally posted here, and I re-posted in the Toolbox. I have it whittled down to 70 items so far (from 101). It is a great daily exercise for me, thinking of all those tasks. I will probably combine some more, then start writing DONE in front of those that are indeed DONE. I'm off to the farmers' market, and have a church meeting this evening. I'm usually off Fridays, but I need to go in for 5 hours tomorrow to complete the annual agency-wide Fire Safety Training.
                            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.

                              sounds thrilling Sun - NOT
                              I am glad you are taking this so seriously and doing what helps you to maintain sobriety
                              Hi Molls
                              and Nora.......I am on my way to CA for some official ass kicking...I really care and I know how miserable the drinking makes you........

                                NORA!

                                TTDP! Take the damn pill!!!

                                I went home at lunch time and polished my nails. I swear I am a 12 year old. I polished them purple with teal colored "tiger stripes" on the ring fingers. But I do mix it up, sometimes I use decals or sparkles. My beloved daughter told me I need to stop this madness when I turn 40. She already convinced me to stop using sparkly eyeliner. Dang.

                                So.....Nora....did you TTFP? (TAKE THE FUCKIN' PILL). See, I'm getting serious, I never use the F-bomb!
                                :heart:I love my daughter more than alcohol:heart:

                                Believe in yourself. You are stronger than you think.
