Re: One Step at a Time - February 2017
:welcome: Changes. Really glad your here!... Hope you find help, hope and love here!.. Like your user name. Pull up a comfy chair.
Did take a couple quick peeks over busy wknd.
New Dr appt and hoping for a steroid injection. Been in pain. Aleve helps some, but don't want to take every day. Oxymoron. This ankle brace is making pain worse. Had two days last wk that I wanted to drink, but didn't. Think it was same evening AG wanted to. So glad we didn't. Helped my employer friend sand, stain a table for client. She's being supportive in my Not drinking. Her & hubs drink a lot of beer on their farm. She had other jobs, but in pain. Reason I wanted to drink. Did GF's taxes and she buys me lunch every year. Still need to get ours done. My other friend has a huge-huge drinking problem. We use to work together in manufacturing years ago. Done many jobs for them. Left, didn't finish job, listing items, taking photos for sale. UGH.. Just the smell made me sick..
Catching up on cleaning, more cleaning around here. Hadn't been getting around real well, due to my drunken fall mid Dec. Plus fell just before 4th last year. This ankle has hardware & gout in big toe. Getting better a little more each day. Happy to be able to get out do some work, etc... Did I tell you Mr WF spent two hours last wknd helping me dust. Promise you if I was still drinking this would never happen. He's probably dusted 1/2 dzn times. lol He's watching The Missouri Breaks. Think Nora might like. Think I would too. Alright enough about me.
Liz, Don't think you talk too much about yourself at all!.. Thinking I do to. You absolutely, comment on other peoples posts and see you as a very nice lady. You share and have a nice balance, just like the other Steppers. Enjoy hearing about your kids, your life. Please don't stop talking about your life! Not sure what SK was talking about empty nesters. Yes, it's a trigger, had been for me. Drinking alone & not working after quitting B2B job. I hated that job! Agree with her to make sure we fill our time. You have a job and other interests. Wished I had a grandbaby on the way. Congrats to you & hubby. :smile:
AG, So happy to hear of your progress. Awesome you made Lasagna (think it was veggie, or maybe that was Liz) for your church friends. :smile: Then still was able to find energy to cook for your boys. Hope your able to find a little time for you. Maybe your yoga, or a cat nap. Keep going girl!.. "Onward"
Rusty, sad-sad for this person losing their job. Could be any of us. My friend lost his and has been drinking heavier ever since. Sure hope your having some quiet time, visits with your Mom, or something exciting. You work so hard!.. Take care of you too!..
Pauly, yum Ihop. Use to go there with Mom. She loved their stuffed french toast. Brings back happy memories. Yes, I did celebrate in a way. I bought a new purse last wk. hahaha....
Hope the owner of your shop has a Mgr in charge. Hope it's not one of those two who chose to ignore customers while lavishing their own needs. It's hard when some of us have good work ethics and see that others aren't pulling their weight.
Nora, Glad you guys weren't with out power to long. Happens here to, usually after spending $200+plus on groceries. Glad we have camping coolers & old chest freezer. Was so lovely to read of you lighting candles and playing Dominos with your precious family! Feel like I'm forgetting something important. Sorry. When lurking back, read a bit about MB. Her and others were such an integral part of this & journey thread. Maybe her & others will come back when things are less stressful. They all are lovely people!... MB is a strong woman. I came back to MWO in 2010 cause of MB & Rubywillow. Any way don't blame any of you for not reading all this. Trying to do my part and apparently talk to much. Bring out your chatty bird.
SK, My goodness what an ordeal your going through!.. Sure hope this gets straightened out soon!... Have had a weird feeling ever since you left. Know your a super smart lady and all, but please - please be careful!. Please keep checking in as often as possible. Even a line or two letting us know your OK. Hope your communicating daily with your daughter. As for having any extra fun there, plz be very careful!!!... Think it's inappropriate for a complete stranger to show you nude pics. Not prude here, but still this doesn't seem right with someone you just met. Just cause your a sexy lady and it may feel good to be desired, doesn't mean you should just go for it. Gawd, really am rather concerned. I was in a situation in 2015 and could have, but no no no. The guy was young & hot. Yes, my DH knows about it. Safety.
I haven't eaten much today so better grab some nuts, fruit, and cheese. Just sumpin.
Waves to everyone. Hope everyone has a good sober week. xxxx

I agree I miss Mama too,you know she was the very first person to welcome me here,I didn't know what I was doing cuz I had never been on a forum before so I made a little thread and was excited when she said "hi" hubs and I try to do breakfast together Sunday mornings, its just one of the tiny AF bonding we missed out on for so long,it's wonderful to look forward to it again, SK,are you back home? BTW were the pics"impressive"?haha
Liz,love the FB pics,funny Lucy eats vegetables Winslow is strictly a meat man! Nora,as always we love you and all that you do,sooo,usually I walk/run for exercise today hubs was up early and I don't like to run in front of him so I used the exercise bike in my room,ouch! Legs feel like pure noodles.. I haven't used it in awhile, hope I can stand at work haha,AG,you're doing great my friend,Techie,be safe! Can't believe Cali is still being stormed out,they need it but yikes! Wishing us all a happy AF Tuesday
Clarity will continue to be better and better the longer you stay sober. Well most days anyway. All sober days are better!.. Keep reminding myself of this. Alcohol deception can be sneaky with its lies.
