30 days???

Yes Rambo, I know exactly how you feel. I am medicated and I still was so depressed last night I just sat and cried. I felt overwhelmed. I think that now since I am sober, I am having to deal with things I was drinking to get away from. It must be the moon or something since we all feeling pressure. Barbs, whatever you do, take care of yourself. You want it and as long as you don?t quit, you are working toward the goal you have set for yourself.

Hereatlast, be proud you were able to abstain. You are not helpless, you are the decision maker for you. You probably already do it, but if not, L-glute under the tongue is a life saver for me.

Kar, I think it does get easier, but I also think some of us have an aversion to alcohol. One drink and I am drunk for years. It sucks because I have always liked drinking but it is not to be for me. From now own, I have Fresca with a twist of lime. It taste good and looks good too. And no hangover.

BEAR...I think you are the only DADDY in our group, so HAPPY FATHER's DAY!!!!!!

AMELIA...how are you, haven't seen you in a few days?

Bootsie, hugs sweetie! I know that feeling! SUCKS! There have been days, some lately, I have wanted to drink so bad, I have just cried. The only reason I haven't is because Mama is so sick and I HAVE to care for her. I can't drink, if I did, who will care for her? There is no room for me to fall...I CAN'T. Sometimes, I just cry and cry! It is HARD! BUT, one bottle is better than two. You are doing better than you used to do. we all still need work, but we're getting there sweetie, we're getting there!!!!

Hereatlast, hubby has a hard time understanding......but, we're here. Lean in us!!!!! As much and as often as you need. If you need to talk EVER...PM me, we can exchange #'s if you like.

30 days???

happy daddy's day bear bear. have a great weekend you all. well a little time out staring out at the boat's at the harbor last nite made me feel really nice. phew. and actually i do feel all these meds kicking in as the cravings are nada. i listen to the cds every nite all nite sleeping too. so, am feeling much more confidence today that once again i can put a day together each day and have a bright life again. hubby says he does notice the changes and he was real sorry for being so out of wack sassy with me. so i thought i'd leave you with a funny story for the weekend. As that fight we had was a duzy and i was sure sorry i drank that entire bottle of wine but yes it wasn't two. yeah. yesterday as i padded around the house, i noticed that some of my very favorite objects in said house were missing from the nite before during said big ol fight. hummm i thought where are those beautiful treasures. i looked at hubby who had a very sheepish look about him. but he was with clients all day and i was busy and didn't much want to speak with him. later i said um have you seen blah blah blah. they were all my favorite crystal pieces given to me from friends over the years and from wedding that were um wayyyyyy expensive from like tiffanys, bullova etc. and a really nice box that had treasures in it. he said well last nite i was so upset and frustrated that i threw them over the balcony of our tree top house. i looked at hubby in shock as hubby never does such things. we live in the woods but the road way is not far off my little deck area. so guess hubby got up real early and ran down to the road way to see if maybe something survived the tumble and didn't break. all he found were bits and pieces. the neighbor came out and said what are you doing down here? is this your area to clean? hubby said uhhh yeah. not wanting to say no i was a complete ass and through off the deck like some kind of 300 movie spartan all the things my wife loves the most that she has saved for 10 years. now i'm trying desperately to redeem myself before she wakes up. so, in he comes yesterday to confess his deeds. i just stared at him in disbelief. wow, well, i said, no matter. i got drunk that nite and you got frustrated. we both did our damage. so, i learn to not be attached to little glass things and i'll have to get over it. then last nite he went to dinner with clients and he drives this little mini cooper car. and as the attendant pulls it out for him to leave the restaurant. attendant drives up and there is a giant suv car in front of little mini cooper. the suv decides to go in reverse and backs up right over the top of hubby's car. like one of those demo derbies. Big suv was launched on top of little mini cooper and couldn't move off of it. like a balance beam. hubby called me as he said well, i think karma just got me. he wasn't mad cuz he said i think god just got me back. i am sorry to say that i couldn't stop laughing as it was the funniest visual i had ever seen. i felt really sad for him. hubby vowed to never throw anything i love over the deck again. and really this guy is a saint so i'm sure he'll not ever do that again. let's see a moral to the story. always remember that god is on the side of your wife, because no matter what she is doing the best she can to get her butt sober and if you ever throw anything of her's over the side of your hilltop deck, god will rain down retribution on you, the likes you have never seen: locus, fire, brimstone, rain for 40 days/40 nites, all kinds of bad things and lastly, some big ass suv will come and drive right over the top of your little baby car while you and others witness it in slow motion. and, worse, you will be powerless to do anything about it. have a good day you all. lol

30 days???

Hereatlast...how I know the "just ten more minutes"...my little boy loves basebal....has broken 2 flower pots this season so he is no longer allowed to play in my yard, has to go across the road to a HUGE open field. We live in the country on a dirt road...very safe...he just insists playing in my yard and breaking my pretty things, then I yell at him ,then he cries...why must we go through that when a HUGE field it right across the road???? Crazy little boy! He will be covered in dirt head to toe and playing alone, how does that happen? He brought in his bunny the other night, I say "now Zak do not put that bunny on Mommy's bed...it will potty on my bed"...what does he do....put it it on my bed, and what does the bunny do....potty on my bed...CRAZY little boy! Any one want a little boy???? Besides the issue with listening he is very well mannered, makes good grades, will help around the house, etc.. Also, have a teenage daughter to come with him...she's EXPENSIVE though and spoiled, must warn you ahead of time. LOL!!! (I'd die!)
Having a nice weekend with Mama and Granny...kids at their Daddy's...will be home at 6 and we are grilling out. YUMMY!

30 days???

hi keke: me thinks the title of this little thread is a bit misleading. this is more a rambling thread. lol but feel free to check in. we don't really count days here but the af abstainers does. you are always free to come on in. the water is always warm. this more of a fireside chatting room. we should rename the thread but i don't think you can at this point. lol this is abstainers and mods welcome one and all. smiles bootsie
and i'm so happy to hear everyone is having such a good day. bootsy worked all day at a building meeting with clients. then met with my favorite client, ms. t, lapd and we had a delightful lunch at a little french bistro. now i'm way tired and have to take a nappy. i always feel so safe with my police client. she is always packing a gun or a knife. lol ah bootsie has the bestest of friends.
