I just wanted to say hi to all of you. I have not posted in awhile. Life has been charging by at record speed and my home, business and family committments have kept me very busy. So.....what did I decide to do last week? Take on two puppies! They are adorable and great fun - even with the added responsibilities.
I have been struggling with the evil wine bottle recently and decided it was time to renew my committment to change.
I am going to try to visit and post more - I have been away too long.
Blessings

Welcome back Wellseasoned! I remember you. I know you can do this as you sound qutie set on following through. Keep posting!

Love your avatar! Is that one of your new puppies?

We are down to 2 dogs, 15 and 13. The 15 is so deaf and blind but other than that, she functions fairly well. The 13 is so huge and he is having hip trouble now. Geriatric pets in our household. It is fun to have the kids bring over their year old puppy, she livens up these two seniors!

Hi Welseasoned, glad to see you back. We both would be considered oldtimers had we stayed the course. I did the same as you have. I stayed away for a time while struggling with the wine thing. Everyone said, and I agree with them now, that we shouldn't leave when we slip. Most everyone here have the same issues with ups and downs and that's what we're here for is help each other through them. I'm still fighting the cravings, not as bad, but coming here helps a lot. We too have a new puppie. A Pekingnese. He will be four mos. old the 19th. His name is Sushi. I think we (hubby & me) are too old for a puppy. He is really a hand full. Training is hard. Again, soooooo.... glad :wd: you're back. Liz

MKR - My avator is a pic of the same breed as my pups - English Springer Spaniel (from what I can tell from the pic). They are adorable and yes, Eliziby, lots of work. What was I thinking with two? I was reduced to tears tonight and hubby had to take over for the evening. My pups are names Max and Molly and are as sweet as can be. They are 11 weeks old, so still a handfull.
It is good to be back. I have been so busy, but if I have time to slip and drink at night I have time to sit at the keyboard and share my struggles. I am taking Topa this time - we'll see. I am also trying to get off of Zoloft - which has been an unsettling experience. My doc said take one every other day for 7 - 10 days and you should be fine. No so. I am now down to one half every three days and only take that because the vertigo is so bad I can hardly function.
Good to be back with you folks.
Have a great night, all!

Jenn, I took zoloft also. I lasted about 3 months. It made every bone in my body ache. What has been your experience with it if you don't mind my asking?
Thanks
