Re: One Step at a Time - July 2017

Morning friends, Liz I'm sure I'd be having a better July if I weren't sad about my brother and having to attend his 'celebration of life' at the end of the month,didn't have to comfort my mom daily,didn't have to worry about my dad cuz he doesn't want to stay in his house,didn't have to comfort my own kids about the loss of their uncle,I'd say its pretty normal for me to be having a shitty July don't you? Hope work is somewhat busy today,I have my doubt's cuz I think a lot of peeps headed to Cali for the holiday,oh well,at least hope I make something, wishing us all a great AF Monday

Re: One Step at a Time - July 2017

Ever pondered whether its better to get wasted and fall asleep than face reality. I am sure we all have done it. I'm in love with my too be ex wife but she is in love with a more rich man than I. I'm so confused because I am so in love but its not real anymore. I will love you until the day that that I die. Thats July 3rd.

YouTube I know I was a raver so this hits hard. MDMA hits hard. Because I will always love my wife even if she cheated. If you have never heard happy hardcore before this might be a shock. They are love songs mostly.

[MENTION=23850]empyr3al[/MENTION] - I know that I would rather face reality than be so out of control again. I also believe that things happen for a reason. That you might go thru heartache and unhappiness but eventually you realize that everything happened a certain way so that you can be where you are meant to be. An example - years of heartache because we couldn't get pregnant and the adoption was taking years. Then we received our son and it's all so clear. We had to wait because he hadn't been born yet. Things are meant to be.
That's why it's worth living - so you can see what is coming up.

Darn it, just lost a long post!
Pauly, I hope I didn't offend you with my question. I know why you are sad, I just wondered why you normally like July. For me I love sitting in my pool lounging/reading. Sadly with all that's going on with dad, the wedding and baby I don't think there will be much pool time. I will miss it, but right now dad is a priority. I am sorry!

Nora, how exciting to be shopping for new furniture. I really do enjoy it. Let us know what you found. I'm with you, drinking it away is not worth it. "It'll" still be there when you sober up. I know the heart break of infertility and I'm happy you were blessed with your son. Both my sisters adopted as well, internationally. Good things come to those who wait.

CJ and Mark are both home and I am so happy. I did miss them! Logan came by today, he never woke up while he was here. Lucy's tolerance was ok, manageable. She is so jealous, poor baby. Plus hubby took her to the vet. Poor little girl is snuggled up next to me exhausted.

Waves to everyone. I'm off to bed. Lots of company tomorrow and I'm hoping dad will be able to come. Fingers crossed!
Sweet dreams. I love you all!

[MENTION=9757]NoraC[/MENTION] my wife was adopted, half native and who knows what else. Red head with the strength and constitution of an ox. I know a lot about how it works at least here. Origins are harder to figure out and maybe we don't need to know. Love is a huge part of my life and not having it messes with me. I love you Christine. I'm so tempted to test my genetics its crazy. Anyone with a trustable company let me know.

I will let it go but its super painful. Taper down to 3 units (from nearly 40 ~ 26). Working hard at this and its a severe test because I need to know how to do it alone without support. The support I have will all die in the coming years. Canada day ALC wise was troubling as I know from kindled effect that AWS becomes worse. We had no access and its crazy that within 12 hours I suffer AWS even at such low doses (3-4). I woke up fine, then the puking and all sort of things which are probably all in my head. It used to be a day or two; though the symptoms change over time. I eat all the freaking time now and what I find is that my stomach is empty in the morning no matter how late I eat. My body processes things so quickly. Its no where near where it has been; Road test I would be considered sober. Having hot cold flashes and puking is simple by comparison to how bad it can be.

Wishing you all a great July 4th tomorrow and be safe america. I will pray for you.

Re: One Step at a Time - July 2017

Pauly - did you make any money today? We sure spent a lot today. Bought a bed and a sectional couch.

Liz - have you been giving that baby lots of hugs?

What is everyone up to? Everyone is getting ready for the big block party tomorrow. I bought some glow sticks to pass out to all the kids. We probably won't be out much. Mom isn't feeling the greatest. I'm a little worried about her. Her Doctor is on vacation until the end of July. I think we're going to have to go see someone else.

Re: One Step at a Time - July 2017

cross post - sorry about that. I had started my post a long time ago.

Re: One Step at a Time - July 2017

:hug:Nora, I hope your mom is ok. Funny about the glow sticks, hubby bought some for us too. I don't think we will make it to the fireworks as I am working early Wednesday.
Today I walked Logan around the house, ya know to familiarize him with it. I told him all kinds of stories! He was all mine:hug::hug:

Re: One Step at a Time - July 2017

Happy 4th!

Big block party.......alcohol flowing. Speakers in front of our house. Loud rap at the moment but it has been a variety so that is ok.
I'm rocky today for some strange reason. Weird. 2 years this month so don't know where that came from. No biggie but odd.
Have a great day everyone.
