Oh Mama, poor thing! I think you should spend some time with her this weekend if you can,you never know, well I had a relapse last nite, could feel it building, stupid, stupid, and stupid,just sick of being sick, sick of being tired, just sick! I dunno why days around 40 are so damn hard for me? Now I have to start all over again, what a douche!

[Rusty]

Mama:hug:I have no words of comfort for you other than I will be praying for you and your family. So hard, just so hard. Been there and done that with my dad and my best friend. Sucks, just sucks. Text me if you need/want. I am leaving for Wyoming early tomorrow with my mom and sister. We are going to visit my brother, but I'll pop in sometime. I'm here for you.

Pauly-the beast sure is a bastard, isn't it? Do you think at Day 40 you just get bored/restless because you haven't found a good/fun enough activity or "replacement" for AL? Just thinking out loud here.:hug:

Morning all,
Dam doctors office has not called me back so I will call them again. Not a good way to start out. I have the name of another doc if this one does not follow through. So I know nothing but I have been doing some research with Dr Google so I can ask some intelligent questions. DH will just go with whatever the doc says....NOT....
mama I am so sorry about nana....((mama & nana))
Costco today then group tonight. I am getting a desert and some bread. Someone always brings soup so we need something to go with it.
Cold and gloomy......

No Rusty, I don't get bored with sobriety not at all, I can't put my finger on what happens? I can cruise along and not even think about al,then it hits me,hard! Wyoming is too cold btw,bundle up

Pauly - I can't even tell you how MANY times I hit day 40 and then failed :sad: It sucks so hard, I wish I had an answer. I guess the thing that got me through it was finally sticking to AB. Which I can't say I'm doing now...

Mama - I feel so bad for you and your family...sending you love and hugs!! :heartbeat::heartbeat:

[mama bear]

Thanks everybody. Pauly I drank the other night due to frustration with Nana and feeling bad for Bret. I don't know what to say except I get it.
Bret and I just had lunch and it was very depressing, but there was one funny point. Bret was explaining how loud Nana was moaning and that he fussed at her. (She is being very dramatic) Anyway, he mimicked her moaning, and the table beside us all turned and stared. I looked at them and said, "This is NOT a When Harry met Sally moment!" The other table laughed and Bret even grinned.
I am sorry to keep going on about this.......

[paulywogg]

That's funny Mama, don't say sorry for going on about it, gosh we're all friends here and it's on your mind so vent! Bobbi's boyfriend's mom is in town doing a catering job, guess who gets the leftovers....me!! I hope it's good stuff and not that fancy rich people food she sometimes serves

[mama bear]

yay Pauly....I hope it doesn't upset your tummy. How are you feeling??
I posted on your PAWS thread

[Lizann]

Mama so sorry about nana. Urinary tract infections in the elderly is a dangerous thing. It's good that they caught it and can proceed with treatment! I get the drinking thing mama and Pauly. Pauly you should be proud of forty days! You had a little slip up. Now you can go another forty days, then think back, eighty days of no al and only one slip up. Not so bad right? You're doing this Pauly!
Dots, doesn't this surgeon have office staff to take calls and make appts? Can you get a name of a surgeon from a friend maybe?
Shopped, bought a pair of new boots and shirt. That should make going to work tomorrow more fun. Bought some stuff for Cjs birthday too. Walked into a whole foods in the mall and there was wine everywhere and boy was I tempted. But I am being good and not drinking. Put up valentines decorations and Erin stopped by :-).

[Dottie Belle]

Liz I called back and got a real person and made the appointment for next Thursday. I also got another name from a friend as a back up..u are reading my mind.

[mama bear]

Glad you had a good day Lizz and that you talked to a doc Dots.

[Dottie Belle]

Too quiet here folks.....hope everyone is OK...I am going to bed...night all..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[GradeT]

[mama bear]

[Rusty]
