[Ripley]

Some of you know I have had an interesting week, to put it mildy. I could not have done it with out the support of friends, family and this amazing global tribe. Since finding MWO I have

1. got sober, which has given me
2. the clarity of thought to finally see what an appallingly abusive marriage I am in AND
3. the strength to leave it.

what can I say guys? :thanks: doesn't really cover it, but, God, thank you all.

Listen up newbies - this program works.

Listen up Nobel Prize Committee - give RJ something, please.

Kate x (like my new avatar? Ellen Ripley. Everything I like in a gal, plus I look a lot like her, except not as skinny.)

Good for you !!!

We can mask alot with the alcohol - glad the scales have fallen from your eyes.

You are a fantastic person and your children are going to benefit so much from the new you!!

Heres to the first steps of your new life!

Turn your face to the sun and let your shadows fall behind you (or something like that no good with quotes but its about facing the future brightly and leaving all the crap behind.

Toasting you with a cammomile tea as we speak!!

Hi Kate,

I share the same first AF day as you and I have to say I have read your posts with admiration, a little jealousy and a certain amount of awe at the way you have embraced this new life you have created! Your energy, sense of humour and commitment to not only your changes but to helping others with theirs is a real inspiration. I really wish you all the best on this new stage of your journey to a new life. Being divorced and a single Mum I can promise there will be challenging times ahead, but with your strength and vision for your future I know you'll get there - with all guns blasting and in your own inimitable style! You know where to find us whenever you need ...
Warmest wishes,

[I Like Brandy]
