Morning all,

We are doing ok. Today is my day 2 Again! Yesterday was not so bad, but still having some anxiety and shaky today. got my first DUI on Tuesday. one of the scariest and most horrifying experience in my life.

Need some good vibes today. I have got to kick this just so scared and nervous still today. I am over 36 hours since my last drink. Please tell me the worst is over.

JDG-
I got TWO DUIs and went to jail multiple times. It didn't scare me straight. I just switched to only drinking at home. Then again, I am an idiot and don't learn things well. I really hope this is your wake up call...please do not go through EVERYTHING that I did! Sending you love and strength! :l

Yes Mama...10 weeks IF I don't need surgery...if it doesn't heal it will be longer :upset: it's called a Jones Fracture and they are notorious for not healing well...

Hey JDG,

I think the worst is over after three days but for me the anxiety continued for a few more days and the sleepless nights seemed to continue for awhile longer. Sorry to hear about the recent events, keep focused on the place that you never want to return to - ever.

ditto what everyone else said JDG...your state must have softer DUI laws than FLA, so be thankful for that and try to move forward.

Hello folks......

K9 - my poor sweetie (who has a daughter who is as gorgeous as you are). Take it easy and TTDP.

Mama - I know it's hard but it's better than sticking with psycho.

JDG - my son had a DUI in California. If you need info, I'll help as much as I can. His was bad because of the high alcohol

Pauly - are you doing ok?

Allswell - It sounds like you are back on track. I'm so happy for you. Are things going ok for you?

Glass - how's the mouth? How are you??

Ok - hubby is driving me up the wall. From the second I got home today. He is making me crazy. He doesn't like our neighbor. I agree she is pushy, loud, etc. But, she also has done lots for us. So, I get out of the car and she is offering us their window air conditioner to borrow. Ok - the temps are in the 90's plus. She is trying to be nice. She yelled over the back yard fence to Scott (who was in the garage) before I got home to ask if he wanted to borrow it. I walk into the house to a very irritable husband. I mean IRRITABLE. How dare she yell over the fence to him....he can't stand her....blah, blah, blah. She just called on the phone to ask a completely separate question, and he comes in the bedroom....I'm not answering that. It's Sophia. Blah, Blah, Blah. She was just asking if we had changed internet companies yet.

I swear that dealing with his mood his half my problem. He is making me crazy. And, until I learn how to stand up for myself, I am going to be stuck here. Everytime that I do stand up for what I think. Or defend my neighbor or whoever is ranting about, it turns into an issue.

He told me that he was 'telling' Casey about it when Caesy got home. Casey told him that is his hang up. So Scott was mad. I agree with Casey but didn't bother to say that. Why get into it. I just curl up & drink.

Ok - I'm sorry this turned into a pity party. Tomorrow will be all better.....

Love you all.....thank you for the prayers & good thoughts and all the support.

Hi Mama - I hope you're ok and coping with the work pressure.

It?s hard to explain what my son does, because it?s one of those Gen Y things. You know how we?re always being told that our kids will be doing jobs that weren?t even invented when they were born? Well, he?s doing one of them! Basically I guess he?s a political consultant/campaign manager. He managed a few election campaigns (in Aust and overseas) and was leading a campaign in Pakistan to have education put on the agenda for their recent election. Now he?s a campaigner for change.org so he?ll be looking at all the petitions that they receive and using strategies to raise the profile of ones that they want to prioritise. My other son is the one who?s just come home from London and is back at uni studying engineering. I?m so proud of them both. :h

JDG ? I really hope you start feeling better soon. Just remember you NEVER have to feel that bad again. Your new life has already started!

Nora ? I?m so sorry you have so much stress at the moment. Wish I could help!! My mouth is feeling a lot better now thanks, but the gum is still a bit inflamed. Still have the asthma too, but I'm not at death's door any more!

Morning peeps,

Just checking in to let everyone know I am doing much better. Shakes and sweats are gone. Looking at life one day at a time hubs is finally back on board, but honestly not concerned about him right now.

I have to concentrate on me and healing right now.

Thanks to everyone here for your well wishes and positive thoughts.

Love to all,
JDG
