Good Morning, Friends!

NORA, CONGRATULATIONS ON 8 PLUS MONTHS AF!!!!!!!!:welldone: You absolutely did not seem like you were looking for people to congratulate you...you are always so humble. I am sooooo proud of you, and you fought hard

I lost a lonnnngggg post last night and could not retrieve it. UGH! My Easter was lovely except the two herniated discs in my neck made me so uncomfortable....they had been bothering me since last Wednesday and finally on Monday, I could not stand the pain anymore and rushed in to see the doctor...so that is where I've been...I had to reschedule my work this week because the pain was unbearable. It's better today, though. I am off to Kansas City for work later today and then onto my vacation in SC with my SIS and BIL. CAN'T WAIT. They spoil me ROTTEN and I LOVE IT!!

Fenny-I don't know which negative posters on this thread you were talking about when you gave that as one of the reasons you're leaving but I hope you continue strong in your quit. I know you have a lot going on in your life right now and you may not have the time to post. Please know that I ALWAYS enjoyed your posts..you were always helpful to others and I will miss you.

Skendall-how are you feeling? Is the pain any better?

Pauly-what's going on that you are drinking again???? If I were you, I would get your butt over to The Army Thread PRONTO! Kuya has been posting today and she is SERIOUSLY considering drinking...and the discussions over there right now are powerful. Maybe those posts will convince you to put down your glass.:hug:

Techie-I thought you had moved your mom already? Wow, that is quite a move...east coast to west...but how happy she will be to live closer to you. You get a 5-star rating in the son department from me. Thanks for posting.

Mr.G-my darling...so good to see you!! How is the music biz?

Liz-it sounds like you had a Norman Rockwell Easter. Good for you.

Red-I hope you feel better. How is the living situation? Is your friend staying in your house or not? I hope you had a peaceful Easter despite all the conflict.

Mama-how are you doing, my lovely?

AG-great job on staying strong! Anger was a huge trigger for my drinking. Not all therapists are made alike, are they??? Good luck with your new psychiatrist.

A shout out to the dear people on the Army Thread, Classy Glassy and Treetops...and anyone I missed. Let's all make this a productive and AF hump day!!!

HUGE congratulations Nora!!!

[mama bear]

Oh Nora....Congratulations, my love!!!!!!
I have not been around the past few days as I have been busy, fighting allergies and a major toothache. I have a root canal scheduled for Tuesday.
Let me go read back. AND - I am not drinking.

[mama bear]

Fenny- please don't leave......please???
I will post more...I don't want our thread to go anywhere. I love our little core group. I just don't have a lot to add and by the time I get home I am too pooped to chat/
Pauly - what's going on with you?

[mama bear]

OH Rusty....that sounds horrible. Was the doc able to help with your neck pain?
Feel better Red!

[NoraC]

News - you must be so busy with the new site. Don't forget to give us the link.

Red - how are you feeling?

Pauly - today is a new day. You ready to jump back on the wagon?

Mama - I love you

[NoraC]

Rusty - oh my gosh. I hope that your pain lets up.

(Auto correct just changed pain to passion. LOL)

[SKendall]

Good Morning.

Sounds as if Red and Rusty need extra hugs today. Pain is a beast.
AG, are you feeling any better?
Mama, I understand. We love you in absentia.
Pauly, I'm sorry for how you must be feeling. I know you must feel bad, hugs for you too.

Gosh,I hate how this looks in my phone! Its like an old typewriter, I posted in zee Army,it looks odd,Nora,I love you and the thread but as I suggested we need to talk about this more,this stupid b.s called alcohol abuse, I won'tcall it a ddisease,maybe I should I dunno,the Army got me pumped up about staying sober but after the thread the other week,we've all gone back to talking about the weather and such, I don't want to turn it into an all al all the time thread but shoot,I'm embarrassed, jeez,I'ma hhypocrite most of the time,Ithink cripes just stop! Then hhere I am,looking like a nerd ...yet again, I'm not normal, my moms an alcoholic? Has been forever, even she doesn't drink like I do,I hate this,I hate this

[paulywogg]

I'm not me when drinking,I'm a complete idiot that i dont recognize, my face changes,my eyes change,my body changes,my mood,my plans,my emotions, I just don't know what to say,except DO NOT DRINK! Nothing fucking changes,you'll be back to where you were or worse��

[NoraC]

Hey Pauly. Are you using the app? Maybe you have to uninstall and reinstall.

[NoraC]

I will be back once I'm on the computer.

[red67]

Pauly, you are a normal person. We are all alcoholics here, just in different stages. You can talk about anything here and we will understand. This is a horrible disease, or whatever you want to call it. It takes over who we are and makes us feel horrible when we drink. You know when you are not drinking you feel completely different. So how do we get you back to that? What do you need from us? Feel free to talk about anything! We are here for you.
