One Step at a Time - May 2013

Hi ya'll

Just found this thread and wanted to say hi. I have been in the nest a while and thought I would venture out. I'm kinda new only on day 11, but this time is different I am totally committed to staying off AL for good.

Reading and posting quite a bit. Look forward to getting to know all of you better.

Thinking about posting my story in the appropriate thread.

Have a great and sober Tuesday!

Welcome JD....
Juja...try the AB every other day.....
does the Klonopin make you groggy???? I have been taking it for a long time...I had a bit of a "hangover" for awhile, but it doesn't bother me as much now...
I think I will try to ignore the ex girlfriend and just focus on me...
Sun - thak you so much for the offer of a letter...it's not necessary...but I am really touched. The state requires counselling so it must be done
back to work and training a newbie....she asks me a question every two minutes.....grrrrrr
patience, Grasshopper......
K9...you better check in today girl

Yep, Klonipin makes me groggy, too. Research shows AB enhances Klonipin effect. I'm working on a solution. Ready to give up on every damn thing, but I won't.

Patience with newbie, please. I was one of those a year ago, and gee, did I feel stupid. Will be just as dumb today.:nutso:

Time to get ready for work......12-8 today.

Where is that K9? and Bhog, too?

Hi Everyone!

I left work yesterday at 10;30am due to a migraine. I am at the point in my job where I just DON'T care anymore, so if I don't feel good...I leave! I'm not going to fight through misery to be "loyal" to this stupid job. Still no word on my interview for the next one....

Mama, I can't believe what happened at your therapy, that must be awkward to say the least! Just focus on you!

So I received a check for my overpayment of utility bills (not nearly as much as I had hoped) and my boss found out and questioned why I didn't just get a credit on my account. That's none of her damn business. That's the kind of sneaky behind-the-back shit that she does that pisses me off!

I better calm down before the migraine comes back. lol

Hope you're all well today...will check in later.

She is doing good. Her friend left the hospital on SAturday and is now in a treatment center. The whole family is going to get counseling, which they obviously need.

Let's hog tie her and throw her in the closet and "forget" about her. LOL

She had the nerve to invite me to her daughter's wedding....I think they just want gifts!

[mama bear]

One Step at a Time - May 2013

you have got to be kidding me........
politely decline....
not sure about the gift.....gotta think on that one
suppose you could buy a cheap gift card to somewhere...
I know, a box of condoms in pretty wrapping paper.....eeewwwww

Hello everyone!

Mama, I know what you're talking about with complacency. If there was one issue that brought me back to Day One time after F'ing time it was complacency. You know what you need to do, all it takes is executing the plan day after day which is the hard part, damn hard! Don't let that sneaky bastard get it's grips in!

FINALLY!!! Interviews for the Police Department job I want are on Thursday the 23rd. Only 3 people are being interviewed and I am the only one already working at the level they are looking for.

I guess I'll put my hog-tie plans for my boss on hold. LOL

K9 - sending positive thoughts to you!!! You are going to WOW them. :h

Allswell - how are you doing? It's great to see you around here.

Mama - sorry that the meeting wasn't better. You have a good attitude though. :l

Hadit - I also notice that the cravings are not as bad when I'm on AB. I guess just knowing that it's not an option. I'm still going thru the period of making sure I take the pill. I just have had a hard time getting back into that mindset.

JackDanielsGirl - Great to meet you!!!!:welcome: Way to go on 11 days. That is fantastic!!

Sunbeam - you sound so good. You are such an inspiration.

Well - wasnt done before I entered that post. :H

Juja - I really hope that you can find a day where you don't have to be anywhere or do anything and then give the AB a try in the morning. See if taking the pills at different times help at all. I am just so sorry that you're having problems with it. :l

Glass - how is the back? I hope you're feeling better. :l

FT - are you home now? I hope so.

Paulywogg - so great to have you around here too!!

FreeFly - always so encouraging. :h

I love seeing all these new faces & energy here. I'm sure that I haven't named everyone but please know that I read all your posts & think of you so much. Thanks for being here on this journey with me. :h
