      April Showers

      Mid monday already! (almost) !

      Happy4once - awesome to have you here with us! Doesn't matter where in the month we are! Thank you for joining us and please leave comments, inspiration and your grief here! We're washing it down with April Showers!

      Welcome back BHOG - we want to hear about your weekend!!
      Laura - how is our sweetest girl?
      FRN       - Yes I missed you over the weekend. It was SO quiet - seemed like everyone was away! So is your Son already in College in Portland or just going next fall? How exciting!
      Mimi       - Great thoughts. I know for myself - my desire and my "doing it" didn't match up. I used to think if something like the story above happened to me - how mad I would be at myself for waiting until the last possible moment to stop the madness. But It is interesting...
      You are now out of the "danger zone" with your smoking aren't you? (cravings subsided?)

      Tlrgs / Dex / everyone else :l to you all!

        FinallyRN - you sure caught Portland at it finest weather wise. I spent most of Saturday in the yard. I love working in the yard!

        Liv - I am doing great, thanks for asking. I am leaning to go through my evening routines sober. Getting stronger every day.
        I wish I had words of wisdom to add to this site like most people here. Perhaps they will come to me eventually.

          Laura - your posts always keep me going -- plus I see that you are moderating what seems to be very successfully?!!!!! If you ever what to share what you are doing - I know there are a few moderators that breeze in and out of this thread that would love to hear your story!!

          It's finally spring here - 60 today - How I have felt that SPRING would NEVER ARRIVE - in more ways than just the weather! But I am feeling the dark winter veil lift over the top of my brain --- slowly.

                  Well, how about this: It's "Tax Day" (in the U.S.) ---
                  We have paid ENOUGH taxes to Al/Alice -- monetary and many, many other ways ...
                  So ... How about an AL-TAX-FREE LIFE!!!!!

                  We still have to pay Uncle Sam, but we're done paying Al/Alice!!!!! No more!!! :mad-door:

                    Hi Liv,
                    As far as me moderating…
                    Hmmm, I am trying to give up AL for the most part and just have some on special occasions.
                    In the past I have never been as successful at this so I am not totally sure why it is different this time.
                    Some of it has to do with the promise I made to my hubby in that I would no longer sneak drinks so that keeps me honest. After the first week I have really not craved it much except when I was pissed off or stressed out. Each day is getting easier and last night passed without me even thinking about drinking. Now that is a new one for me.
                    Some of it could be my new medication. My Dr. put me on Lamictal a month ago because I was diagnosed with Bipolar II. This condition it an itty bitty mini version of the usual Bipolar so anti depressants are not as successful.
                    Anyway…Lamictal is an anti-seizure medication (same class as Topamax) and I can only believe that it is working much in the same way as Topa but without any negative side effects.
                    I have also noticed that AL does not taste as good.
                    Well anyway, for whatever the reason I am going for it and counting my blessings.
                    I am very aware that I could be playing with fire so I am keeping a keen eye on my situation.

                              Sticky Note, April 16th

                              Good Morning To All!

                              On my way to the office this morning, I was thinking over the past 100+ days and how much life has changed for me. I do feel "saved," at this time, from the Beast that had me in it's control for much of my adult life. So, here is my sticky for today!

                              SAVED FOR ME

                              Today, I feel that my life has been saved, for my family, my friends, but most importantly for me. I have been granted, through this gift of sobriety, a new opportunity to explore the future, with my family and friends, and with myself...awake, alive, smiling, rising up to meet the challenges and opportunities I had given up for lost.

                              I'm sure that many of you have already experienced the joy and happiness that I am now feeling, as each new sober day brings with it the promise of so much in store. To those who are in the process of starting out, it is my opinion that it is well worth the effort to make this journey!

                              Have a wonderful,, AL free day!

                              Enjoy Life! I am!
