30 days???

oh man

I have not even been home 1 day and already the house and kids and Mike are getting me stressed!!!! I wish I could go back to Houston (well just get away, not Houston actually, especially now.)

I am not going to drink, in fact that is the furthest thing from my mind, but I am stressing out, the teen years are wonderful, aren't they??!! YIKES!!

TIT, hope you are hanging in there, with the storm, your emotions, everything................

Will try to get up to see my horses tomorrow, Mike (I think) is really planning on them not coming back here, in fact his dad gave him a name of someone who will take them off my hands, isn't that sweet! Man, Rhonda told me to avoid these kinds of things, how is that possible in real life!!??

I am trying to do the foods, and spent $90 at the health food store yesterday, man Mike is going to have a cow, especially without me working right now...........I am applying for about 5 jobs on Monday, just printed out a bunch of fax cover sheets and my resume to fax off.

Guess I will just stick w/ my nursing, for now we are so financially bad, Mike is giving me grief still about going to Houston.:upset:

Going to go to the gym to get some of this stress off me!!

Sorry to ramble, thanks for listening everyone.

lots of love,:l:h

MA welcome home and thank you for sharing. Everything is going to be alright, just exhale and live you triumph and your adversity. It's called life. I was very worried about you both and am so glad that you both made it home.

TIT I am so sorry for your loss. Really, when it rains it pours. You are a wonderful friend.

Greeney, how are you? Good to hear from you.

Luv, Happy, Lushy, Bird, Momof and everyone else have a great day.

TIT, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I hope you are in a safe place.
Cowgal, I'm glad to hear you are not thinking about drinking. Raising teens is tough...I know...

back

I just got back from the gym, Mike is annoying as hell, I am going to probably leave again late and go to an AA meeting.....................

Thanks for the words of encouragement, yep, no thoughts of drinking, just want to run away! That is super cool! YEAH!

TIT, I called you, hope you are ok................saw the news, looks bad.

I loved Houston, so hopefully everything gets back to normal soon. It is such a super city.

Love you guys,:l:h

Afternoon everyone. Where did the day go?

MA you sound great. Good for you. You'll figure out what to do about your stress with your new clear head. And about the diet, think of all you are saving not buying AL. I'm amazed at the difference in my cash flow, well except a lot of it goes into my gas tank. :upset:

Lori, I'm hanging in there. Dealing with stuff for the temp. divorce hearing. But doing OK. Pushing for my AF 90 days on Monday. Peppermint ice cream here I come!

And Brittzak, you already know how I'm doing.

[okydoky]

30 days???

Brit...you're so sweet I know I'm probably the minority on this board when it comes to politics but we all have the same goal...to live a happy AL free life.
Cowgal, I'm glad you're going to your meetings. I think the message Rhonda gave you about the guy friends was a sign.
Lori, keep hanging in there...Peppermint ice cream...yum!

[brittzak]

30 days???

AF life....that is my goal too.

[cowgal]

30 days???

Yep

I am in for life, just talked to my son about everything, on our way home from AA, it was an open speaker meeting, he loves listening to stories..........................

I said I have no desire to drink right now, he said he thinks it is great, said he remembers when I was 9 months sober in AA and how happy I was, how happy he was etc, made me feel good, he said "you can do it again mom", then he said "why not the rest of your life"? I got tears in my eyes and said "yep"! That is how it is going to be!

On the way home I also thought about how I used to stop at a certain store for beer, then I felt a sorta "jolt", then forgot about the thought, strange, huh?? But cool, I am not complaining, I am sure I will have all kinds of strange feelings being sober.........while in Houston, I felt all the anxiety all around preparing for the hurricane, I just "felt it" and it was good, then it passed, without having to drink, that IS a miracle!!

TIT, been thinking about you all day, hope you are alright.:l

Love,:l:h

Oh, and I have to add, I am so happy cuz I just got home and Mike is gone, YEAH!!! Probably at his "drinking buddy's" house, that is fine, he is not here fighting w/ me and the kids.

Cowgal,

You took your son to an AA meeting. How cool is that?

You sound terrific...really strong and positive.

T-I-T,

Still thinking of you and sending you lots of support.

30 days???

When I started AA ...I took my daughter too. My intent was to show her I WAS NOT the only person with this problem. BUT, I would get better.

[cowgal]

30 days???

yeah

David loves the speaker meetings, I figure if he ever develops a problem he will know one place to go for help. I had to get to a meeting, knew I would feel better afterwards, and I did. Mike wants to "do something as a family" today.....................don't know what to do, but will start looking for canoes to rent, that way we can possibly stay cool, as it is in the high 90s here. I will drive to see the horses and ride w/ the guy who is holding them for me (he is nice, lonely and likes to ride) It only sucks cuz it is an hour away, so much for saving gas.....................I really miss them though, miss looking out my window and seeing them. They are happy where they are though, there is a huge pasture for them, which they don't have here, only hay.

This may be the first step in being free though, I already "lost" the horses, so not much more to fear losing, right?? I will just keep on staying AF, I am sure the right decision will come.

love you all.:l:h

TIT, am thinking about you.:h
