    Not yet, it's still only lunchtime. I'm working on uni stuff all day but my son is coming over for dinner. He asked if I wanted to go out but I'd rather curl up on the lounge with some takeaway.

        Goo morning all,
        Wonderful Father's Day spent with my son and in looking back I know that I am on the right track, we spent a day talking watching TV and were going to go out for dinner and decided to have a pizza and rent a movie - priceless moment.
        Juja, I honestly don't know where I have the strength to pull off what I am doing. I know this that on New Year's Eve past I realized that i was alone for all holiday season and felt sorry for myself, I truly feel that was the moment of reaching bottom and there was no where to go but up from there. I drank to the point of being beyond stupid and all alone at home, did not go anywhere but out to get more to drink, finally something snapped or kicked me in the ass but I decided I wanted to live, I wanted to watch my son grow and become a man and if I kept this up I would not see this. So you ask how I did it, well the desire to see my son grow and me to be part of that is my motivation..
        Wow where did all that come from? But it feels good to be open about issues and desires.
        Hope all have a great week,
        FT

        As of 4/12/2014 I have not smoked at all and feel great.

          Forget you're in Australia. Regardless, that's my kind of day.

          FT, thank you for the insight. I find it helpful. How old is your son?

          Mama, you're right, time to put the shoulder to the wheel. AB Wed night for me. I'm putting a note in the bathroom to remind me. (I can sleep in Thursday if this new script knocks me out.)

              Juja my son is 16 and I am also working on being the proper example for him at this age.

              Thanks Pauly it truly was a great weekend, he gave me the nicest card that I have EVER gotten and it brought tears to my eye's.

                FT - those are priceless moments. I'm so glad that you had a wonderful time with your son.

                Pauly - Big hugs to you. Feel better.

                Juja - you are sounding better. Hang in there sweetie.

                Mama - I hope that you are feeling better.

                Glass - I hope that you had a wonderful day.

                K9 - let us know what the dr said.

                Well - I just took my antabuse! It is past time for me to get my act together. I have been putting it off which is just ridiculous.

                Had dreams about my Dad last night. Really odd ones...he was sick and being in the hospital. Also, had my Aunt in them. Just nightmares actually. :upset:

                Casey is home but still suffering from the effects of food poisoning. Both he and one of his friends got it. They think it was e-coli. He had a great time besides that and then getting hurt near the end of the trip. A step collapsed and he cut both of his legs.

                I have a bad stiff neck so I'm staying home today. I can't afford it but hard to work when you can't move your head/neck. I am laying here keeping it supported.

                  My stomach is still bothering me, but I am at work...hubs keeps texting me to see if I am ok
                  e-coli from a foreign country??? That's scary as hell.... don't you think he needs to go to the doctor??
                  FT...sometimes I am as strong as a rock, and other times I say WTF....fortunately those thimes are few and far between, and this burning stoamch will help me be a rock for a long time.
                  my 21 year old bought his father a beautiful, expense bottle of borbon for Father's Day. I was shocked, as I had not nagged him to buy anything, but I was also hurt. They just don't get it. I want no booze in the house and they think it is ridiculous. This will come up in therapy, trust me.
                  It is now LOCKED in the liquor cabinet.
                  ok...piles of work to do

                    I don't know how people do it with alcohol in the house. I just can't. Not at this point anyway.

                    In reading about the e-coli, there isn't really anything that they can do for him. It is scary though.

                        Has anyone heard from K9? I'm wondering how her Doctor appointment went.

                        Mama - I sure hope you feel better. Casey can't take anything for it. It sounds like you're supposed to let it run its course to get it out of your system. Plus, doesn't seem like they can give antibiotics for it. He did say that if he's still this bad tomorrow, he will think about going to the Dr.

                          They have just rushed my cousin into surgery to try to save his leg. He just got home from the hospital a couple days ago. I'm waiting for more details but I think it was a blood clot they have been watching. Prayers and positive thoughts please.

                              Juja ? glad to hear you?re trying the AB again. I hope it doesn?t have too many SEs for you.

                              Pauly ? one step at a time! Try not to worry too much about the future.

                              Nora ? I hope Casey gets better now he?s home and being looked after. Did he get all his shots before going? If not, he probably needs those cuts looked at too, if they haven?t healed yet. Also sending prayers for your cousin.

                              Mama I hope your tummy feels better soon.

                              Hugs to you all
                              I'm off to work, will check in when I get home. :h:h:h
