30 days???

Do I ever Have ALOT to catch up on !!!!!
Wow !!! Here goes
Momof3, I'm so proud of you enjoying your holiday AF !!! Wooooo ! Hoooooo !! for you !!!!!!!!!!

Bird, those chickens are toooo funny !!! Your girls must spend an awful lot of time to have them so relaxed to sleep on their backs for gosh sakes.... That picture cracked me right up. School already ?!? ... Our school doesn't begin until Sept the 2nd this year. The kids do get bored I agree.

Speaking of cracking up, thanks folks for mentioning about turkeys being hatched out of eggs... After the fertile egg is hatched it then has be be incubated at a specific temp/moisture for around 35 days..It then hatches. Never inside of the bird. Yep, we love our Lucky Ducky xxx Sure keeps us all educated !!
Great to see you Lucky !!!

I'm so glad to read that you are resting well Cindi... You sound just amazing !!!

So, our Tex is in Costa Rica ??? Having a hoot by the sounds of it !!! I'm looking forward to hearing about this beautiful place Hon xxx

More2, when we take our little fishing boat on the first trip of the year I always make sure there are oars with us LOL !!! I'm so happy that you feel soooo blistful... Wellbutrin? I think I've read about it.... Thanks for sharing this with us all...
Oh, and yep we had both boys help unload hay.. I counted bales while the fellas hauled it in. My back just isn't what it used to be.

Luv, I'm shocked about that little fella calling you an asshole !!!! Man oh Man what is the world coming to !!!??? Enjoy your kids knowing that they will always be your babies. I'm so happy and relieved that you are craving free once again ... phew... good stuff .

Out, Nice to see you again. Sounds like you ahve some really good plans in place for your future. Having a plan is more than half the battle. Yep I agree, "Here's to better things for all of us" Nicely said !

And our Okydoky is taking up yoga !!! Wonderful excercise for the body mind and spirit...

Ready2, Yep I remember you as tkeene ... so that was you??? You were wise then and you still are.

Morrison, I hope that it isn't too hot for ya !!! Keep busy my friend... we all love ya , you know xxx

Bootsie, I know that you are a busy girlie, but it would be so nice for you to stop by and say, "Hey".... I miss you.

Cowgal, I hope that you are soon going to be on an upward swing. I hate for you going through this... One day at a time Sweetie xXx We are all here for you.
Our Dearest Bear Family, You folks are dear to my heart and will always be... Not a day goes by that an overwhelming feeling comes over me knowing that you folks mean so much to me yet we have never even met. Take good care of yourselves and eachother. Know that we all care deeply xxx
PS, Bears tree is doing sooooo great... I need to have hubby weed whack carefully around it because you can no longer see the teddy and his motorbike for the grass

I went to town and soon realized that I had a pile of stores to go to in order to get everything... 10 stores to be exact !!! gosh and then I didn't want to go for fast food or anything so I bought a protien bar and orange juice... I took so long in town that I thought, "Ahhh I'll just pick up a small chocolate milk at my last stop in the grocery store, that should hold me until I get home"... You would not believe it !!!!!!! I opened it and quickly chugged 2 gulps... It was dated "July 9th" Shit !!! It was soooooooooooooooooooooo nasty !!!!!!!!!!!! Chunky the works !!! I was however so proud that I didn't chuck my cookies right then and there in the parking lot !!!! I calmly placed the carten by the grocery carts (there was no way I was taking it back inside, wait in line for a flippin' little choc. milk) Thank the dear Lord, I also had a case of my favourite pop. Diet orange crush. It helped to change the taste in my mouth...
Tonight I picked a huge mixing bowl of green and yellow beans. they are now safely blanced and in my freezer.. I'm bushed !!!
I'll sleep fast tonight...
Night, Night, Hugs,xxx

30 days???

Nibs...the yoga class was awesome! I'm taking it with a friend and we promised to make each other go even when we don't feel like it. It's an 8 week basic class but we're so excited we plan to get through all the levels....eventually
10 stores!!! Oh my gosh...hope you're stocked up for a while.
And that milk would have done it for me! I get so mad when I get home from shopping and something is expired but never had the "pleasure" of actually drinking it....yuk!

30 days???

That is freaking nasty Nibs!!! I would have been so upset. I boguth cucumbers yesterday and got home and 2 were rotten...they were all packaged together so I couldn't tell. I didnt bother returning them either. Town is a drive for me too. I order most of the kids clothes online.

My kids go back to school the 20th. Zak is counting the days and reminds me about 10 times each day....you know I might forget...ha ha We register Brit tomorrow for HIGH SCHOOL.....CRYING!!!!!!

30 days???

Hi all,
Well I caved yesterday after almost 7 weeks. I had been craving bad since I went back to work. Should have popped an antabuse but I done done it now as they say down here. Could not go to work this A.M. I felt so bad. I was watching PartridgeFamily videos while drinking. Its weird some of the stuff you will do.Also The Munsters and Addams Family and I was singing. Damn. So I better get back on the anty everyday, will have to order some more. Lucky that thing about the turkey reminds me of this true crime book I read once. This guys wife had a miscairage and they cooked the baby and made the whole family eat it. The kid said it tasted like chicken....oh, I my kids pet those chickens and they go to sleep like that. I remember Bear posting about how to hypnotize a chicken. I guess its something like that. Out tell us more about Peru. That sounds cool. Oky I used to do yoga in the morning with a lady on TV. Boy it felt great. More2 you sound wonderful. Cindi sounds like Lenair is going to work for you. Lori you are too funny. Nibs that milk ug. CG glad you are getting your wallet back. Luv what did the mom say when the kid called you asshole?? He must be hearing it alot if hes saying it that young. Later on...bird

Bird, that is too funny, how does she let you do that?

30 days???

What a great last two days thread!!

I have enjoyed it immensely.

I am going to post a separate thread in "General" about Lenair.

I wish it was more positive. I really do.

However, I DO NOT THINK Rhonda is a fake. I do think that for some of us there is more going on than just fixing the "alcohol" thing.

So. I will carefully compose the post before I submit it.

I wish I could say Lenair was the success it has been for so many. However, it was a huge success in many ways. Just not for me in terms of drinking.

However, please understand. I am not just going to succumb to drinking myself to death because Lenair was not a silver bullet. I won't.

I live by my dearest sweet Bear's words. "Never give up giving up."

I will and cannot ever do that because the other option is not an option.

Love,
Cindi

30 days???

hi

I am feeling so much better, sponsor called me and encouraged me to go to the gym and a meeting last night, was a good meeting, but drank (only 1 beer) afterwards, gotta just KNOCK off this bad habit, cuz that is what it is turning in to.................wasn't really craving, just wanted to "have one"........................SICK!!

Got wallet back, Mike too unfortunately, but it was good to see the kids..........they don't even want to go back to the beach w/ Mike, (can't blame them!)

so today will be day one GOD WILLING!

Nibs, gross, about the milk, that happened to me w/ orange juice, it exploded all over my boyfriend's car (at that time it was Mike, bad omen, huh!!?)

Talk to you all later, Cindi's post was a bummer to me, don't know what to do now....................:upset:

Mary Anne,

I don't want it to be a "bummer" to you.

I wanted to be seriously honest. You cannot understand my true circumstances, just like I cannot know yours.

Rhonda can help you. I truly believe that. Actually, I know it. She helped me in ways she doesn't even know.

You may be healed just like Best, Buckle, Lori and so many others.

I have been healed. Just not from the drinking.

I have other issues that actually were much worse than the drinking, if you can believe that.

Can you imagine going with 4-5 hours of sleep a night since you were a child? That is me. And there were reasons for it. Rhonda addressed those even though she was trying to address the alcohol thing. However, I truly believe in my case there is more important things than the drink going on.

She is a KIND and LOVING soul.

Truly.

Do not think my experience will be yours.

I have been healed in so many ways this week. Just not from the drinking.

Capice???

Love,
Cindi

ps. I will call you right now...

30 days???

Cindi,
Although I had so wished your experience with drinking had been more positive....I am very happy for the success you did have. Never give up...that is why we are all here. I need all of you. You NEVER give up. Get back on the antabuse honey, it seems to work for you.

More2...every time I think of the kids leaving it breaks my heart. Brit will be gone before I know it.

Cowgal...good for you!!!!!!! Glad last night went so well for you.

hello everybody, im typing with one hand because my other one has ice on my eye... i had just gotten out of the tub and was waiting to find out if our son was done on the phone... when i finially got an answer i turned to head into the office a way toooo close to the linen cabinet and whacked myself just below my left eye... i was in a stupid huff and now i may end up with a shiner... im so upset with myself... no, my friends im not drinking either...and i work in a tea house, our bbq is this weekend... awwwww. i can only hope that this ice in a clth will help.

sorry for being so vain.
cindi, i would bet that underlying issues played a huge part in your binges... i'm so happy for you in that you sleep so well now... amazing . as you enjoy this new life, keep going forward and do as bear said, was it keep on keeping on... his wise words will help. he came to us all to help.

Ice is now all melted, eye hurts and there is a small spot where the skin is broken just under the eye ... Damn !!!

30 days???

me too?

I am here, just been so busy I haven't had a moment to get on board! I would LOVE to go hiking, one of my favorite hobbies when I get time...............riding horses also of course!

I am going to Lenair, talked to Cindi, it is all good, I am SOOOOOOOOO looking forward to meeting Barry in person, he is helpful and reassuring..............something has got to give, right?

Going to get my old 45 year old eyes checked today after work, that is always depressing as they are getting worse and worse as I grow up!

Weather is a hot and balmy 99degrees again, yuck, sweating just leaving the house this AM, right out of the shower!

Gotta go, hope all is well w/ everyone, good thing you checked out the potential buyer More2, wouldn't want to get taken to the cleaners..................YIKES!

Hi Bird, sorry you drank, you can just hop back on the horse though(easier said than done I know from experience though)................Nibs, LUV, Cindi, Barbie and all who I missed, hope you are doing well.

love and hugs!!!

Cowgal....I'm glad you are going! We obviously all get something different out of it but it is a life changing experience and as Cindi said, Rhonda is all heart and cares deeply about what she is doing. She is a very loving soul. I'm glad you feel that way about Barry too. I know he is extreemly busy with all that he does but he always takes the time we need and it must be very exhausting for him when you think about the demands we place on him (at least I have
Yep my eyes have gone from 20/20 to needing stronger reading glasses every year for past 7 years since I turned 40....imagine I'll be blind as a bat some day. Have to have a pair in every room in the house and I hate it when I'm out and don't have with me and have to ask a stranger to read something for me...embarrassing!
Nibs...hope you're shiner isn't too bad. Good excuse to buy some cool sunglasses?
More 2....good call getting background check
Have a great day everyone
