One Step at a Time - March 2018

[NoraC]

Happy March - this quote hit home with me. Some of my friends have had a few stumbles lately.
I had more Day 1's than anyone that I know but I slowly stopped the habit of using alcohol as a solution. Don't give up - sometimes it takes another stumble before you realize that the habit is gone. You are getting there One Step at a Time. :heartbeat:

Re: One Step at a Time - March 2018

I only stayed at work a few hours today. I've just been hurting everywhere. I wasn't busy enough that I needed to force myself to sit there all day. And after I got home, I got a call from the hospice doctor that she wanted to come out. Time for a recertification. Perfect timing to end up going home. So, she came out. Mom hasn't had a very good couple of days but of course perked up while the Dr was here. :sour: I explained all of that to the Dr but we shall see. They don't tell us at the time, the social worker calls us. One of the nurses tries to give us a heads up when she thinks they're going to release mom. But, we are just grateful for the amount of time that they have covered her. It has been such a blessing to us. So, we'll take it as it comes.

I ended up ordering some of CBD oil on line. It was almost $100 but worth it if it helps. It's sublingual and you're supposed to hold the oil under your tongue for 60 seconds. uke:I don't know if this works but I know if I go to the Doctor, they are going to recommend a prescription and I'm trying to avoid that.

And that is the exciting news in Nora land. LOL DS is turning 31 on Saturday. We were up in Oregon last year on his birthday. Wow! Am I glad that I got stuff moved before that. LOL

Hi all,
Well it is March huh?....well I am not going to work today. Getting ready for my little trip to the mountains. Will pick the girls up tomorrow. It is a 3 hour drive, and then another 3 to get to the place. It is going to be cold. I was gnna take them to the drive in theater up there but I think it will be too cold. Will get to use the fireplace though. And going to toast marshmallows and play games and go hiking and go shopping . I am excited can you tell??...Pauly, have you tried melatonin? I have had some luck with it. Also I use an app called Insight timer...has a lot of sleep and relax stuff on it....Nora sorry the fibro. Hope it is better. What is the CBD oil?.....Rusty, I love to de-clutter. It feels great.....so I have been watching Alone. I like shows like that, survival type stuff...I watch Survivor a lot too....I guess I would really love to be able to do stuff like that. Being outside is my favorite....well, going to A.M. chat on women for sobriety. I have been missing it because of work.......great day to all....b

Re: One Step at a Time - March 2018

Morning friends,Nora,can't you just get CBD at a dispensary? Or are there none close? Here they're everywhere and my tribe even has one haha,I've never been in one,found some"sleep aid" that works good but getting rid of the morning grogginess is a bitch! Bird,sounds like you're doing well,off for more coffee,much love to all and wishes for a nice AF Friday

Re: One Step at a Time - March 2018

Must add I'd rather be groggy,tired,sick with the flu,raging diareah or any other minor discomfort,etc than be hungover....!

Re: One Step at a Time - March 2018

The shop sells it but it cost more and I was going by the reviews I read.

Re: One Step at a Time - March 2018

Hi all. I just realized its March. Posted yesterday morning in February and couldn't figure out why no one was on today. I found you all.
Bird, have a wonderful time. Your weekend sounds lovely, especially the fireplace. We are in the throes of a nor'easter. It's really not too bad. It could be all snow, but the windy is super gusty. I am grateful to still have power.

Nora I enjoy that show Mom too. It puts a funny spin on the whole thing and sometimes I need to laugh at myself. I hope you get a continuation for your mom. I am glad you got to come home early from work. Do you sit at work or move around? For fibro I'm not sure which would be better?

Pauly, I'd rather be all those than hungover too, any day!

Rusty, hope your day is going well.

Waves to everyone and have a great AF night!

We're about to have corn on the cob and left over pizza. What a funny dinner.

Belle that I follow has the coolest bracelet - On the inside where noone can see it, it says 'The Decision to have one drink is the decision to have hundreds'
Isn't that the truth!?!?
