Nora-

You all have really been with me helping me change my life.

You have changed ALL of our lives here. We are ALL better because of your sincere interest in our lives, your willingness to share many, many AF tools, and your positive attitude even when some of our lives end up in the doghouse for a while. You deserve the happiness of a lovely grandchild...the chance to develop a relationship as a person embracing sobriety...someone who is always reliable, available, and engaged in loving life. Savannah is one lucky baby. Love you, friend...keep us posted with more pics and updates!!

Nora , how sweet Savannah is! Grandma looks great on you. You talk about that little princess as much as you want, but I wouldn't mind seeing more pictures either. [MENTION=1214]Rusty[/MENTION], you made me laugh with the skinny legs! I have just been blessed with good genes and a great filter on the camera! How is your mom doing?

Lawyer is coming over in a bit so the house will be full again. I gotta tell you I don't mind having people here all the time. I am a bit fearful for next week when things start to settle down. I am a bit weepy this morning already. I have had thoughts. I need to stay sober and just feel these feelings. I'm sticking close to you guys.

Cross post Pauly. Ugh, dentist! Hope it's not too involved.

Hello all

I'm on my phone so a short one. I'm not like pauly so good on the phone.
Glad that you are talking about the feelings. It's too easy to internalize until you finally break. Much better to talk about it.
It hurts sometimes but it's so much better to just live your life the good and the hard without alcohol.
Alcohol adds a whole other level to the pain we are already feeling.
So much better to go without. It does get so much easier.

Hello everyone. How are you all doing? I don't have any baby news or pictures today. :sad: Maybe tomorrow. LOL

Rusty - thank you again for the 3 year congrats. Mr V is right - I'll just celebrate all week. Ha ha

Pauly - are you leaving tomorrow or Saturday?

Glassie - wow, 3 weeks! You better get busy. I hope you take lots of pics.

Liz - how are you today? Are you still weepy? :hug:

Bird - did you get your internet working? Are you moving next week?

[abcowboy]

I know you said you didn't want a big celebration Nora, so I kept it small. There's one for you, hubs, and your mom!



Congratulations my friend!

Re: One Step at a Time - Dry (And Healthy, Self-Caring) July 2018

Congratulations again, sweet Grandma Nora!:yay: 3 YEARS AF!! Wow!!

Pauly-I haven't decided whether I am going to become a subscriber or just make a nice donation. When do you leave to see your family?

Glassie-where are you going in Africa? You deserve a relaxing holiday!:heartbeat: How is little HRH?
[MENTION=2634]bird[/MENTION]-safe trip to Macon.

Liz-My mom is doing OK, but geez, her memory has gotten SO bad, my sister said she cannot take care of her finances anymore. Thanks for asking, love.
I promised myself I would practice good self-care this weekend.

Happy AF Friday, everyone!

Hi, [MENTION=1214]Rusty[/MENTION]. I went the donation route - you can choose the amount rather than one of their set subscriber options and you don't have to sign up with The Evil PayPal. Plus, I like one-and-done for the year.
I hope you are enjoying the same lovely weather I am in the midwest. I know we shouldn't gloat as others are frying or flooding but man, this is a relief!
Happy Weekend, Steppers! xx, NS

Nice that everyone is chipping in if they can. This group saved me so I'm happy to help.

My brother was on his way to Oregon and his transmission went out on the grapevine.
They are ok and got towed the 100 miles back here.
