    Re: One Step at a Time - August 2017

    I didn’t know Rubywillow, but my condolences to those that do. I’m thinking of you all. :love_heart:

    Nora – that’s so sad about Fennel. I wish she hadn’t left here at a time when she needed support more than ever. I sent her my email address but she didn’t reply.

    Pauly – if you’re checking in I’m think of you hon. As others have said, I’m very proud of you for honouring Jon’s memory by being sober at the memorial. No matter what others did you can hold your head up high.

    It’s funny you mentioned the phone phobia Nora – I have one too. I always try to ring my sister in the morning now. It was fine when we were both having long rambling drunken conversations in the evening, but not so much when the rambling is only coming from her end.

    I went back to the doc yesterday and now as well as the other meds I’m on a course of steroids and have to do a revolting thing that's like a nasal enema. That’s water up the nose btw, not a nose up the other end!

    Techie – thinking of you, lovely. Stay as strong as you are!

    Rusty, are you working on the weekend when you shouldn’t be? It's good to see you're starting to take some time out and looking after yourself though.

      Cross post Pauly - it's good to see you! I'm so glad Kell is OK and how lovely that she'll be so close to you.

        Glassie - I just totally cracked up as you described your nose enema. It will make you feel better though. :hug: Sorry you have to do all that steroid crap though. Wow - I can't believe that you have a phone phobia too. We should start a club. Nope - never mind, we might have to call people. :rotlf:

        I got a floater in my eye yesterday. Driving me crazy. I'm about to get whiplash from jerking my head out of the way when I look up and I think something is heading towards my face. I was worried about it because it's big & appeared suddenly yesterday. I went to the optometrist and she dilated my eyes. She sees the floater but no sign of a tear or anything. Thank goodness. So, I'll deal with a little whiplash.

          Pauly - so glad that they got a house. And so close. Fantastic. I'll bet Louie is thrilled. I'm glad that she's feeling well. Tell her not to overdo.

              Yes Liz - you are more than alright, sweetie. All you did was what most people do - occasionally drink alcohol. Now don't beat yourself up, OK? Just remember that you are a wonderful mother to your kids (and have supported them through recent engagements, moving away from home, marriages to come up soon and having a new babe) and you have been there not only for them but also for your mom and dad who also have challenges.

              I think you are actually pretty damn amazing so go out there and enjoy the shower. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

                Yes, you will be OK Liz. You've had so much stress coming from different places for too long! Drink lots of water, try and eat. Smile even if it's hard. Someone told me to act as if until I get there. We're going to get there Liz! :hug: I used to use make up and hide behind my glasses. You'll feel better in a little while, hopefully. Deep breaths.

                  Yeah I f'd up in the last 24 and that sucks. I will not allow shame to control me. Okay? Depends how you look at it. If everyone else is wasted, nobody will notice. Only advice is if you have admitted to all these people or even a couple that you leave and take a breath of fresh air. Judgement is horrible and its even worse when someone is drunk telling you that you are the screw up. Good luck! Have a good bridal shower. The money spent on my wifes bridal shower was nuts. Have a good time and keep yourself mentally safe. You are who you are now and you can walk away. This event was into the 10s of thousands so it was a little nuts. I have no idea what the toilet plungers were for but there were like 30, apparently some game. The food, holy shit, I dont even want to guess at what steaks and shrimp and all the veg and dip cost.

                  The wedding pretty much paid for itself. Amazing library like place and crazy food. Again thousands and thousands but the gifts and money helped. Family helped kick in the extra cost. Unfortunately the marriage only lasted like 5 years.

                  My sisters baby shower I think we spent well over a thousand in gifts, well i did as I paid all the gifts and utilities (diapers, play toys, a double wagon, play pen). Thats about 1000$ USD, actually way way more as we collected over 8 months. May seem cheap to some who are rich and extremely expensive to others but we were middle class, so it was a bunch of money when combined you make 60-100,000$ depending on the year.

                    Hi everyone. Glassie - I texted to Liz and I told her to be sure to read your post. I hope that she did. I'm worried about her. I don't know what time the shower is. I hope that it all goes beautifully.

                        I think the shame over drinking for one night led to my bender a couple of weeks ago,I should have just gotten back up after knocking myself down,,instead I figured I'd already blew it may as well keep it going,Liz,let it go,it happened, move on! I hope you enjoy the shower and post some pics hope everyone else is enjoying their Saturday too
                        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!

                            Glassie - what is the name of the group that sang the song from your signature? I'm wracking my brain with no luck.

                            HELP
