        Hope all is well with all of you. I hope you feel much better tomorrow Mama, Nora take care of yourself OK.

        Sun, I am so glad to read your post and congratulations on your success. It's a reminder to me that slow, steady, and consistent is the way to win this race. For me perfection is not necessary as long as the curve is moving in the right direction with continual and measurable progress. I'm pleased with how I've reshaped my life yet I'm not beating myself up for the few lapses but understanding the process really does take a step at a time.
        2023 - focus, getting it done, and living the way it should be and being the person I need to be.

            Allswell, thanks for your kind words. I am glad you are also doing well, making steady progress. That's what counts. People who only focus on their final quit date are on a different path than me. It took me five years to completely quit, but I learned a lot along the way. And now I am really done.

            Mama, your progress is also excellent. I hope you are feeling better today, as well as your family.
            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.

              Sweet Nora, I am so sorry. Life's piling in it on you right now, isn't it? In your darkest moments, please remember we all love you.

              Mama, were you on a cruise and didn't tell us? Seriously, take care. A good reminder to all of us to wash our hands. Sometimes I think I wash my hands too much, need a little more immunity, but then situations like yours happen, and it's a good reminder.

              allswell and sunbeam, I was lifted by your posts. Well worth repeating again and again. I'm not AF, but nowhere near where I was a couple of years ago. Rather than feeling defeated, or envious of who's had how many days/years, I need to be mindful of my own ladder, and the steps I've made.

              FT, want to come to VA and paint?

              Hi K-9, BHOG, and GHE!

                Nora, take care. At times when it seems darkest, there is a devil in the shadows. Don't let AL get to you.
                Mama- get better! Did you try my cure, twirling aorund counterclockwise three times?
                All other, please take care of yourselves and...
                Stay Strong!

                  Nora wishing you all the hugs and support, mama hope you are feeling better. Wishing everyone else a wonderful day today.
                  Painting yesterday may not have been the smartest thing to do as now I have aches and pains in places I didn't know I had, but they are feel good pains and the kitchen looks great.
                  Today last day off and work commences tomorrow... Quick trip to South Florida on Thursday but ony for about 6 days so i can take it.
                  Thanks again everyone,

                              I just informed my nephew that his girlfriend can't come over anymore.

                              Yeah, I'm being a bitch, but you know what? I'm tired of sharing my house. When I offered it to him I didn't know it would include HER. I'm tired of sharing toilet paper, drinking water, laundry detergent, etc. etc. etc. AND, heaven forbid either one of them take out their own trash. He doesn't "get it"...but whatever. He can either GET IT, or GET OUT. I told him "lets remember who needs who in this scenario!!!"

                              Yeah I'm grumpy today! Thanks for listening. HEHEHE
