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! -
Nursie - so great to see you back again and ready to do this. :hug: What has been going on lately? Are you completely done with your treatments now? Back to bad drinking? We've all been on some journeys and are sharing that here.
Fen - sorry to hear that there might be a battle. Please stay strong and do what is best for you. I am so glad that you have a good lawyer. Have you talked to you nephew that you are so close with? I was wondering how he was taking this.
Pauly - sorry you are getting sick. It is going around here too. Guess it's that time of year. You are sounding really good & positive in your posts. You are right about really seeing the difference in our posting when we are drinking.
Mama - I'm sure that you are doing awesome at work. You are my hero. Going thru all of this and with such a positive attitude. You rock!
Liz - are you working hard?
Well - I'm just going to go ahead & post this. Going to have to start doing Cowboy's trick and write in word. By the time I get back to it, I have totally lost that train of thought.
Rusty, Cowboy, Red, Dottie, and all our other friends.........hope you all are having a wonderful week.

Good Morning, Everyone!
I have the day at home today but a long task list that MUST get done! And I know I will accomplish a big chunk of duties because I am AF. :-)
Nursie-I have missed you! Welcome back! Are you finished with your treatments and what is your prognosis now? Stay with us, we are a friendly bunch. Drinking just makes things worse, right? ;-)
Pauly-sorry you're getting hubs' cold. A real bummer!
Mama-I admire your strength with the many battles you are fighting all at the same time.
Nora-is work any better this week? I know you were really stressed out.
Liz-you must be busy cuz you're not posting much. I miss you!
Big hellos to Cowboy, Red67, Skendall, and anyone I missed...happy AF Thursday!Comment

Thanks everyone. Still trying to navigate the new set up.Originally posted by Samstone View Post
I'm done with most of my treatments. I'm in the middle of reconstruction and also getting new boobs in the spring. I have an anti cancer infusion every 3 weeks. My hair is growing back. I've had a lot of side effects I wasn't prepared for, body aches, arm swelling, chemo brain blows. And I vaned a ton of weight from steroids. I had a lot of lung swelling from radiation.
So. I drank here and there and then more regularly and it made me feel like less of a pariah and happier. For a moment. Then I would wake up and remember the bald, drunk, Cancer girl drinking more than everyone at the party.
I have embarrassed family and friends. My son is just used to it now. My husband will be mad and my son will say "it's ok mom you weren't that bad". That kills me.
I'm done.
I'm going to look for some meetings around here too.
I'm just so sick of being unpredictable and unreliable.
I'm so much better than drunk Nursie.Day 1 again 11/5/19
Goal 1: 7 days :heartbeat:
Goal 2: 14 days :happy2:
Goal 3: 21 days :happy2:
11/27/19: messed up but back on track
12/14/19: bad doozy but back on track
One day at a time.Comment

Hello paulywogg, I am back after a few years! Cant believe the mess I am in. I remember a saying Think it was K9......"when drinking is harder that not drinking, its time to stop". Something like that but how true?Comment

Hi need to change,yes K9 did say that and dang its the truth! I got so sick of the endless relapses I was having,I finally quit making excuses,read Rational Recovery and adjusted my shitty attitude! I got tired of playing the victim and begging for help when I'm the onlyone that can help myself,support is wonderful and I get that here but in the end I am in charge of my choices, I can live free or stuck in a liquid prison,I'd rather be free,glad you're back

Nursie - you are so much better than the drunk version. We are all fighting this battle and I'm so glad that you are back. I'm sorry that this has been so hard on you. I have thought of you often. :hug:"Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.".....Carol Burnett

Good morning. Just got to work and thought I'd check in at the cafe. Cowboy, I was unable to post there as it's says the thread is closed? I'm here and it's my last full day:welldone:
Lucy had a good night. She was so restless but finally settled down. She at a little rice this morning.
Nursie so good to see you!
I promise I'll post more and read back tonight or over the weekend. Gotta go start my day and heal the masses! Happy Friday!Comment
