One Step at a Time - December 2013

I will not miss 2013. Near death blood clots, heart issues and still no answers why to any of it. Had to clear out my folks house of all their belongings since 1959 and remodel so I could rent it. Moved dad to an Alzheimers facility....so a total train wreck all year..no I will not miss it.
Looking forward to an AF 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Loves.
Checking in as I laze around the house.
I wish I could say yesterday was nice, but it was awful. The presents and food were good, but the family dynamic and Pop sprawled in the hospital bed in the middle of the room and Nana's mood were just miserable. I am glad it is over and I am hiding at home until further notice.
K9....that scares the shit out of me. Is she taking seraquil? (sp?) I have a friend that was deeply depressed a few years ago and she took this and said it was very powerful. PLEASE be careful.
The bus is being prepped for our trip....
off to do something moderately productive....
hugs and kisses

I'd be open to Kradle's idea of a get together somewhere. I find myself in all pockets of the country on a yearly basis. I think it would be great fun! Sounds like we can all agree the best part of 2013 is it's finally OVER!!!

Hello everyone!!! So great to see you all and to everyone who stopped by here.

Casey & I had a great time with my niece and family. Really missed Scott but we are driving up to see him in January. Have no idea how long he'll be up there. He is ready to come home but his Dad can't be alone.

K9 - So very happy for you!!!! I had no idea that it was 2 years for you!

I decided to sneak some drinks today. Casey came in my room to talk to me and found it. I'm upset and sad and depressed. Back on the AB tomorrow. I had a wonderful 100+ days. Ready to get back to it.

Thanks for sticking with me friends. :h

Home tonight watching Tom jones...long story...:l:h

I'm so sorry Nora, Alcohol is evil!!! AB is a wonderful, helpful tool to get back on track and get one's life back. Life is too short to be in alcohol's grips. It's the beginning of a new year and let's promise - no more wasted years okay.

Oh Nora ? I?m so sad you?re feeling down but 100+ days is bl**dy fantastic, and nobody has the right to judge you after the shocker of a year you?ve just had. So you have no need to feel ashamed, OK? Just pop right back on that horse.

Mama ? you poor love. It?s so sad about your Pop, and you did so well to get through it all . Hiding sounds good!

K9 ? well done sweetie ? you are a legend ? and so sorry to hear about what you went through with the medication, that?s really scary!

Kradle ? I?m glad you had a good talk to Matt ? I?m sure this will be the making of him.

Dottie ? I so hope next year sorts out your health issues

Hugs to Allswell , Pauly, Lizann, Tony and FT

today I will productive and clean and try not to think
Nora....I know exactly hoe you feel and I think the AB is perfect for you right now.....cravings suck, but the more we drink the more we crave
I am thinking a REAL meet up would be awesome.....we could pick and central spot and spend a weekend together. I have a teeny, tiny lake home, but FLA is a long was for everyone.....thoughts????
I am game if I plan far enough ahead of time and budget properly.

Hello my dear friends!!!

Yup, I guess 2 years has passed, hasn't it? And here it feels like I've known you all for decades! :l

Nora - I am thinking of you and hoping you find a happy place. This is NOT easy, lord knows I've had my moments and almost fell off the damn wagon many times. All we can do is keep trying. :h

Mama - Sierra's meds start with a "Q"...that's about all I know. LOL I am fully conscious now...that was scary as hell!!! I told Sierra "Gee thanks for being worried about me!"...she said "Well lots of times you lay in bed all day" and I was like "Gurl....I have not done that since I drank, now please check on your old mom if I ever stay in the same position for 12 hours again!!!"....geez...it's like pulling teeth to get them to give a shit. LOL

I am so glad it's Friday! Working 3 days a week is tough! lol I have finally gotten back to the gym, and it feels great. Of course I watch my Jax while I am working out, so that helps.

Everyone hang in there...you all mean so much to me...Kradle, Pauly, Dottie, Nicey, Molly, GHE, Alls, Tony, FT and those that have gone missing (Nurdl??). Please hang in there friends and never give up trying :h

Pauly, believe it or not, my last trip to Vegas was alcohol AND smoke free. It was a mini-vacation with my girl. I never knew the sun actually came up in Vegas. I'd only ever seen the inside of the casinos and the bathroom floor I was laying on. The wonders never cease. LOL

Good morning everyone - first off, Nora, sweetie :l I'm right there with you but I am going to bang that one drum yet again and say this is Your Way Out and from over here in the cheap seats, I think you are doing 'Feckin' amazing! ....sorry...too much Irish TV last night lol Madison is running around saying , Shite and Arse and yes...Feck...OMG :egad:
But truly, I am always inspired by your efforts. :h when is Scott home?

Mama, how's Clay doing? We are all in SeaHawk fever over here and while I know he's got a little ways to go to the NFL is he staying in the game....so to speak?

Allswell, my door is wide open any time! Well, it's actually closed for a while to make sure these little kitties don't run out and get eatin by eagles!

Don't feel all that articulate today. Heavy and tired really. I think it's this food hangover, Pualy mentioned. Back to juicing today and more sleep. Mama can you come over and clean my house...? I got some Christmas money and its all yours..........
