    One Step at a Time - October 2013

    Sneaking in to say HELLO!!!! :wavin:

    Ok - back to work now. :H

    Oh - I'm reading:

    Kick the Drink Easily
    Dr. Sleep
    Chocolate for Water
    An Alex Cross mystery
    and a Barbra Freethy book (can't remember the title)

    I think that's all at the moment. :H

    I need to finish a couple so I can keep them straight.

      One Step at a Time - October 2013

      Good day ....went to see a "life coach" She is helping me sort out things and look toward what I want my future to look like..work in progress. We are going to meet this month to see how it goes...this is different than counseling in that we are not looking at the past but at the future and I like that...dwelling on the past might drive me to drink. At least that is what has happened in the past when I have tried counseling...just need some help with things...

              Hello again....

              I meant to say I was reading 'Like Water for Chocolate' :H That's bugged me ever since I posted it and haven't been able to get back to correct it.

              FD - we worry because we love you (and also because a lot of us are Mommies and it just goes with it ) I'm glad you're having a good day.

              Glass - I'm glad that you have your pointy toed boot ready for Mama. :H

              Kradle - sorry that you had a weird day.

              Dottie - the life coach sounds really great. Very interesting. I hope that this really helps you.

              I'll be back in a bit. I'm trying to read & type here and hubby is talking. So, I'll come back when I can think.

              Has anyone seen Pauly lately? We are missing a few people and I hope they are all ok.

                Glass love how you call them the F boys!

                Nora I too have been missing Pauly. Hope all is ok there.

                FD sounding great!

                Dottie I would love to hear more about the life coach. It sounds so positive. I didn't realize the difference until you shared it! I think I could use one.

                Well I'm doing pretty good today. Just being a plain old housewife and I love it! Hope everyone else is doing well. Off to watch some tv and drift off to sleep. Good night and sweet dreams.

                    I am just posting to here now and my relapse thread. It's getting to be a tough job juggling it all. I got a sponsor tonight at AA meeting. He is 65 and a retired farmer. Nice guy. He has been sober 20 years. Amazing. I told him about my issues with AA and how my beliefs are different from a religious stand point. He agreed. He wants me to trust him that this not 12 steps it's about connecting with another alcoholic. We are getting together with his wife for coffee friday night before another meeting. So here we go another chapter. I like this one already.

                      Sounds great FD. :l I know people that are atheists that attend AA. Thanks for checking in. You keep taking care of yourself.

                      Off to bed now. Need to go read some of these books I've started.

                        Hey everybody,ive been a lazy bum so i havent posted in a bit,just trying to get this 30 days under my belt,its definitely harder this time not because i want to drink,actually the thought makes me want to puke! its just this anxiety that always hits hard at about 3 weeks in is a doozy,seems worse after exercise,i dont know if its all in my head but it just seems like it,hubs and i are getting along good,i figure if im not leaving over this then theres no reason to fight,besides i have plenty of other options and theres nobody on earth id rather spend my life with than him,i think all of this anxiety is worse because i turned 40 and realize im not invincible anymore,people close to me do die,perfect husbands act like dicks sometimes,kids do crazy stuff,and i have no alcoholic safety net anymore,but ill make it,sorry for writing a novel jeez,luve you guys have a good wednesday
                        I have too much shit to do today and tomorrow to drink:sohappy:

                        I'm taking care of the "tomorrow me":thumbsup:
                        Drinkin won't help a damn thing! Will only make me sick for DAYS and that ugly, spacey dumb feeling-no thanks!

                          So how is "Chocolate for Water" Nora? :H I knew what you meant, by the way. Didn't they make that into a movie a long time ago, and wasn't it rated X? LOL Now I know why you're reading it. j/k

                          Pauly - Glad to hear you're doing OK, and I understand about the anxiety. But at least you and your hubby are getting along good, that's a positive thing! I am 40 as well (actually only for 10 more days...yikes). I actually had a harder time turned 30 than I did 40...maybe I was so beat down by my late 30's that I felt much older anyway. LOL It WILL get better, I promise you! Now if only I could get back to the gym!

                          Mama - Hope you're trip is going well. Pointy boots are all lined up...be warned.

                          Sierra has therapy Monday at 3pm, she said she wanted to talk to a man this time. We tried a woman last time and they just didn't click. So...we'll see how this goes.

                          Kradle - Hang in there my friend :l

                          It's raining here for once...I wanted SO BAD to stay on the couch and read a book! But alas, here I am. LOL
                          :heart:I love my daughter more than alcohol:heart:

                            I'm not done yet...LOL

                            I wanted to post this yesterday but ran out of time. My parents are staying at the beach for a few days for their 51st anniversary. My dad sent me this text yesterday morning and it made me teary eyed:

                            "Walking on the beach. Just the seaweed...the gulls...the sand & me. Can I freeze this in time? Only thing to make it better was having 2 little girls screaming at every wave & running. Love you girls and the memories. Your Pop"


                            :h:h:h

                            I told him I would GLADLY go back to that point in life...in a heartbeat!!!

                                I obviously need to read a few more chapters. I haven't reached that point yet. :H
