FT... go for it. Money ain't everything it's cracked up to be. Friends and family are where it's at! And a special person... even more so.

I don't get philosophical often, I leave that for the smart folk! But I have got to say something, and that is that at times all of us are challenged with life. This "stuggle" we are having is not just about being addicted to alcohol... it's more than that. Some people are tougher than others and they can deal with life better perhaps... and some are luckier than others and they get a better break... some of us don't fare so well in those regards, and so be it. We make up for it in other ways I reckon! Fulfillment comes in a variety of forms. I fail too, a LOT... fookez moi I've been upside down and inside out with life. I'm sending hugs to you all. :l

Zen - thank you for both of those posts. I am ok. Just need to keep on keeping on. I have been reading A LOT of Recovery quotes on Pinterest and starting myself a file. I'm going to keep some in my phone for when I'm alone and feeling tempted.
I have been trying analyze the 'why' am I doing this to myself. Honestly, much of it has to do with being the the caretaker/breadwinner to hubby, son, Mom, etc., etc. But, that is no excuse not to take care of myself. How can I take care of anybody else if I don't take care of myself. So, I pick myself up, dust myself off and start all over again.
So, I am in a better place. I wasn't even going to bring it up but if I can't be honest here, then there is no sense in even being here. This is my safe place where I can get hugs and get kicks in the ass......whichever is needed at the time.
I am grateful that you are all in my life. Thanks.........:h:h

I love you Nora! You are a pure spirit.

Sometimes life throws us a curve ball... and sometime these fucking curve balls just keep on coming... and it can wear you down. Right?

I guess we need a contingency plan! How do we get over this? Life is hard... period. I guess we can only try to make it better.

Thoughts?

Zen - your post made me tear up and then laugh - 'fookez moi?' ROTFLMBO !!! I feel as if someone has mopped the floor with me then wrung me out. But I know I will be fine .... I did tell hubs about the South of France offer .... he said it was up to me. I am too much of a home body to do it - but for a split second there I was SO tempted !!!!

Nursie - please check in ..... hope all is okay ......

I do not have a whole lot to say today - I am baking actually. Although I should really get out in the garden - the weather is wonderful but I have been a real slug-a-lug today! Our temps started out at 40 - WOW It is in the 60's now - so lovely !! Blue skies and sun .... I really need to get off my rear end and leave my book in the house and get out there .....it is SO easy to turn into a hermit. And I have a Guinness. Sorry .... More tearfulness. Not the answer I know -

Love and hugs XXXX

LOL Sunny. Yeah, tearing up and laughing... that's what I do too! :l It's all right if you don't want to go. I think I may just do it anyway. I need to broaden my horizons... been a but stuck in my life recently... and this will not cost much. I think I'll call her...

Nora, I'm sorry about what happened yesterday. It didn't occur to me that you might still be tempted to drink after TTFPing, but that's me being thick as usual. You absolutely must take care of yourself and you should do it for your own sake, first and foremost. :l

I should just do it, shouldn't I?

Will you come down if I do?

Yep, you should just do it zenny, irrespective of whether I can get there or not. What do bill and jim think about the idea?
