30 days???

ahhh, More2 a hike sounds sooo good Wouldn't it be wonderful to hike together and gab away those miles??? All the very best in selling your home quick, quick... I remember the days readying the house for open houses... not fun with 2 very small children and 2 dogs.

Oneness, Welcome to our group here !!! Sometimes a new environment makes a world of difference... Congratulations on your AF days !!! Yahoooo !!! to you !!
Cowgal, take this little bump in the road as a learning experience. We all have done it and know how you must be feeling right now. Be nice to yourself, tomorrow is a new day Hon xxx

Luv, I hope that you get rid of your cold as fast as it came on... That is so horrible to have a cold in hot weather... uggggg !!! Put your feet up and get plenty of rest. House cleaning can and will wait... Trust me I know that first hand. As long as the boys don't date the dust they write in on the TV, it's not too bad LOL !!!

Well today is Canada day and the sun is just amazing outside. I'll be heading outdoors soon to put miracle grow on all my garden... Last night I finished all the weeding, so today I won't be fertilizing the weeds. I cannot wait for fresh veggies right out of the garden. Oh, and tomorrow I will be working a regular shift at the little tea house. They are open Wed-Sat... I'm looking forward to it.

Well, my garden awaits !!! Mrsbear, I'll also miracle Bears' blue spruce Hon... Hope you are well. I think of you and yours everytime I glance at my new tree. Did the picture make it to you alright?

And Tex, I'm sure the Lola is "Wow-ing" everybody at the show !!!
Hugs, xxx and have a great day everybody

30 days???

Hey guys! We went to the show, and hubby and "Lola" showed wonderfully, the judging kinda sucked, so we didn't do as well as we expected, but that is a-ok! They are both super special! We will return on Thurs. night late, and she'll show again Sat., so we'll have to all pray and cross our fingers, eyes, and toes all over again! Nibs, sounds like you are busy as a beaver girlfriend, soooo much going on! Sounds all good tho! Bird, ditto, sounds like summertime is a good time, stay on that anabuse, just take it twice a week, like Sunday and Friday....etc., Cowgal, I just walked in from dry cleaners, etc., and had left my phone on the charger at the house, forgot to unpack charger and plug cell in last night, I was tired, tired, so its up to par now, and I'll call you shortly!

Ok, since More2, my sister in crime has posted about Lenair, I'll do so also. Both of us totally planned on going in Sept., in Houston....I knew she had questions she needed answered, and knew she'd get them, and pass them on to me...I had "reservations" about the $$ amount too, not that I don't have it available for "medical" reasons, which I do, and this affliction sure qualifies, but, when I spoke with Barry, it just seemed, all about "show me the money" kinda...not really much concern for my situation right now, which I'm sure isn't his niche, but he is the contact....don't get me wrong, he was very nice, just seemed really more like "business" and I know for them it is, but I'm kinda needing to hear a lil love here....lol.... I was going to Ft. Worth, and was in a bad cellular area, and got a call, and had just had a call dropped with my daughter, like 3 times, so I just let the call go to voicemail...it was Barry, and I'd looked on the site about medical intuitive issues, for hubby, and it didn't seem to state it was the same fee as the addiction relief fee....(for lack of a better way to put it)......but the message I got was just a tad too "curt"? It was like call me right back, with your CC#, for the deposit for both of you, it'll be 1800.00 each, I need it now to make the appt...... period..... I know soooooo many are just dying to get in to see her, so I don't blame her, but.... the real rub for me was that they are coming to Houston, their decision, they aren't coming on a special request, or for me or hubby period, they'll be there from the 8th to the 21st...and his explanation of why its 400.00 more than the fee I would have to pay to go to Vermont, is that they will have travel expenses...soooooo...I realize I'd be saving airline tickets, and room, and car, but every single person that they see in like 3 weeks, will be paying an extra 400.00 each, that went for my hubby too, not an extra 400.00 betw. the 2 of us on top of the reg. fee, each.... Ya know, they choose to come to Texas which is great, but its kinda like its also an extra expense for those of us nearby to get to see her. I guess I was letting More2 deal with the other issue, while I was kinda stuck on this one...and she really got a kinda similar feeling from Barry, but on a different issue..which is one that is also important to me...and the 2 issues we both had, put together into one package, just made my hubby and I decide, that for right now, this isn't for us either, or me. Not that it won't be if its a last resort, but I think with the anabuse to break the daily habit, and the things that have come to light in my head and heart, just talking to More2, and really thinking about Bear, which we both have done...I'm going to trust my Faith, and the Big Guy upstairs, and Bear's watchful eye over me, and I'm going to consider myself HEALED, because I asked God, and his son, Jesus Christ to heal me, and help me, and help me not abuse the temple which is my body....I can get that, and all the help here, and all my bestest pals here, for free.... If I can't handle it, which I'm positive I can now, I may reconsider, and don't want anyone to take my decision to mean I don't think its a good decision for them, its personal, truly personal.... Anyway, just wanted to share that....I gotta go wash the stinky horse show clothes, so I can repack them! Love you all!

30 days???

BTW, it was More2 and her experience on a hike, and her telling me about it, and me having prayed, and talking to Bear also, at the horse show...lol....that made my heart feel different....I forget sometimes to listen to what God is telling me, after I ask for something....gotta get back to spending that lil quiet time with God again, and focus on that, and not anything negative, you Become what you Believe I read this morning!

[okydoky]

30 days???

Do the drug companies

[toughintexas]

30 days???

Me either! And yes, everything these days seem to have a profit attached, but...having a big stake in that myself, as a livelihood, drug companies, and the gov., do supply Rx's to folks that can't afford, it, but need it.... I never, ever said, that I wouldn't consider this if I felt I'd exhausted all options, and when and if I do, I'll do anything, but just right this minute, I'm going to try to rely on my Faith, I'd kinda gotten away from hearing what I needed to hear, from up above.. its a personal decision, right this minute for me! We are all in different places, with different opinions, otherwise, this place would be boring, and not helpful.... I'm sure each of us, have all kinds of different needs, and desires, and I respect that completely! Just telling how I feel, and hopefully, I'll get respect for where I am right now too.... Love you all!

[okydoky]

30 days???

Sorry...I think we have the same faith. I leave next week and really feeling the Lord leading me there and when I read your post it made me second guess. I've been feeling so right about this.

[brittzak]

30 days???

Okydoky, we are all different. What works for one may or may not work for another. AND we all have different goals....some can mod, some can not. This thread started off as 30 days AF and we kinda just became family here and like in all families, we got a little bit of everything imaginable right here. Don't second guess your decision. Make it work for you. Just as others are making the antabuse work for them. We have been through a lot together over the past year and a half. We have sobered up, fell off the wagon, got back on, lost loved ones, cried together, laughed together.....respect your decision and the decisions of others. We will never all be the same and that is good!!!! I wish you the very best at Lenair.....I am 12 days AF today!!! Bootsie just celebrated 6 months...so make your decision and run with it girl!!!!!! It will be ok.

Bootise, so proud of you for 6 months AF!!!

Cowgal, sorry today was rough.

More2 hope the house sales quick for you guys.

TIT good luck at the show....

[toughintexas]

30 days???

Ditto! LUV, you are the bestest! You helped me from day one here! Boots too! We all do what we need to do, and I'm not eliminating a thing, just trying different things for now. This is the best place ever, and I wouldn't trade it for anything, it keeps me going! Love you all, tons and bushels!

[okydoky]

30 days???

Thanks Brit...I know I'm not really part of the family but we all do have the same goal in the end. I kinda envy you guys. It's so great that you have each other through so much.

[bootcampbarbie]

30 days???

oky you are too a part of the family.. silly silly. why i just butted in one day and then well just never left. lmao. hahahahahaha listen everyone has to choose for themselves the path that works best. believe me barry didn't rub me the right way for quite some time. hahahahaahahahaha but you know i came there to heal not make friends. you'd have to know me to understand that statement. i'm all about my focus. hahahaha. and i didn't come to make friends with rhonda either. just let's get to work. and she would be the first to say she isn't the healer. she is the facilitator and i am the one that connected in with my self :0) so i would say though hey one hellof jumper cables. hahhahaaha. so yes they are going to houston by special request. that of buckle.. i didn't realize the fees were higher when the travel that's useful information.
so oky... girlie it is a beautiful experience and you will be in touch with you, your higher self, god and all the mystery. and you will have i say never been here before. i wouldnt share it as it is precious and only for you.. but you will know when that happens that is real and you have come home. come home finally and you just accidentally took a little turn. alcohol was really a small thing. and then get on with doing the big thing which is uncovering YOU. so welcome to YOU sister. pm me and you can call me anytime for support. luv luv

as for family i'm headed to bed after a splendid day of work. the meds are kicking in and i can't believe that. i so hope that these meds and going to specialist will be the turnaround in my health and soon i will know myself as the healthy happy bootsie i once remembered. and i'll be able to work out and everything. gosh i simply hope and i'm going to count on that kidneys are happy and healthy out of taking these antibiotics. and, sending you all so much love love love that it brings multiple offers to more 2. that it brings a happy day to nibs, that bird gets in her house and that a windfall of horse races since i know nothing about them in tex's world all have her horses winning. and that luv bug keeps feeling and experiencing herself. nite nite

30 days???

Morning all! I'm butting in too! Luv - what an amazing thread you started here, like the energizer bunny! It keeps going and going... Oky! go with your heart, honey! We each must do, what is right for us. And that is ok, we are all ok with differences! Good! Good! Different minds, different opinions. That is why they call this a community. For some reason this song popped into my head this morning when I was reading this thread. Coming here is like coming to a really cool, favorite place. "LUV Shack"

Barbie, I am sooo with you on the initial Barry thing. Like him now. Just shows me not to get stuck on initial opinions. Take my time and assess. Love the jumper cable analogy! :H

Oky - have a wonderful time! I am so anxious to hear what you have to say when you return!

I just have to share that I realized about an hour ago, that despite a lousy night's sleep, I feel better today than I have in 8 - 10 years! This life just continues to amaze me! Love to all! :h

[toughintexas]

30 days???

Morning all! Boots, you are so right, and I'm so happy for everyone going down whatever path they are on right now! And Oky, you are part of our family, and Best too! This is the greatest place! Got lots to do today, love you all!

[brittzak]

30 days???

Oky and Daisy..welcome!!!!! everyone is more than welcome here. LUV SHACK, best..so funny! I LOVE THAT SONG btw.....
Day 13 today AF......feeling good. I even got stopped in the hall today at work and asked what I was doing that my skin looked so good. I am working like a mad woman too. I am so productive sober. Of course, not having to vomit, have sweats, and feeling plan like death warmed over helps, uh??? GEEZ, what we go through. Some of my botanicals and tinctures came today. They smeel like shit! LOL I am sure they will taste just about as good too.
More2, I love you to bits and pieces too. I tried Antabuse before and it just wasn't for me. I really don't care how any of us get sober.....the method is unimportant. I pray every day that we are all healthy, happy people.
Brit went to a sleep over tonight. Tomorrow night she is having a sleep over here. Then Friday AM we have the Peach Festival in our DINKY little town and then we are going to my GF house for BBQ. I grewup with beef BBQ, so I do a brisket every year....here in SC they eat pork and the BBQ sauce is YELLOW.....looks like baby poop......ha ha I don't like it at all.
