    April showers have brought us to ... MAY FLOWERS

    Good morning everyone! Its 06 am and I'm up. That's about the time you'll be hearing from me being on the west coast. OK, here goes........
    I keep a journal, I don’t write in it everyday but when I feel the need. I decided that May Showers would be filled with thoughts that I've had since joining MWO. I also LOVE quotes that make you think or have impact. So between the 2 hopefully I’ll have enough to keep my half of the month going......otherwise BHOG, you’re on!

    Whoa!!!!! Any of you dizzy from running around the May Pole? For May make the pole a sign of strength……..standing there tall and erect…..hehehehe But I can’t get side tracted.

    How many times have you gone around in circles in your head where AL is concerned? “ Maybe I’ll have a drink tonight,….. no, I shouldn’t", ……. “but one won’t hurt me, I can do one” ,……. “yeah but remember what happened the last time!”.......... “I know, I’ll drink beer! I don’t like beer that much and I can just have one”……or how about this one……I love this one…... “I’m not that bad, I’ve been AF for 5 days, maybe I don’t have a problem?!” LIVE THE TRUTH…..I have said these things to myself so many times I’m embarrassed. So, lets see our relationship with Al for what it is..............don't dress it up. Face it. Thats half the battle, at least for me it was........and it ain't over yet..............

        FinallyRN,

        No, those thoughts are not half the battle, they are 95% of the battle.

        Thank you for posting this.

        Every day is a little battle. A little skirmish now, but it is still there.

        I can beat the Beast, but he keeps showing up. However, I do beat him.

        I keep trying to tell people that you should not feel guilt about hearing the Beast, he is there for all of us, but he can't win if we don't let him.

        Here we are, in May and the Beast cannot win if we don't let him.

        Onwards and upwards!!

        Love,
        Cindi

          Happy May Day (belated)!!

          Well, I for one will be running around THIS May Pole this year. Every year our resident Pagan Goddeess, and one of my best friends, holds a May Day Party and normally I am her right-hand girl. I think it is going to be next Saturday Night. Luckily, I am having surgery - never thought I would say that - hahaha!! It is usually an absolute riot, but WAY too much drinking. We erect a Pay Pole, dance around it, have a huge bonfire, lots of food, readings in the teepee - really crazy. BUT, and a big BUT - I have tried in past years to go and not drink and it didn't happen. This year I had already decided to not go, but already getting the pressure. Fortunately I have to get my Gallbladder out! Whew..I'm free - they will just have to do this on their own. I am only 4 months into my sobriety and I CANNOT and will not subject it to that - not yet...

          So, I'll be dancing here with you lovelies this month..

            M. Mama,
            My daughter had emergency gall bladder surgery. She was only 13 at the time. So young to have that problem. She's doing fine.....but it was really hard on us parents. IAD.

                  Oprah doesn't know this but we are sisters separated at birth. I have over the years watch her evolve into the person she is now. Anyway, if any of you read her magazine she writes an essay every month about "What I know for sure". She writes about incidences or experiences that have taught her something. I enjoy reading them.

                  So, in the context of MWO....this is "What I know for sure".

                  MWO has changed my life. It has changed my habits, it has given me awareness, it has given me hope.
                  I don't know what I expected when I first came here, maybe nothing, but hell, I had tried everything else. I appreciate being able to speak honestly and have others understand. Being able to communicate and have others listen..........at that point in my life the lonliness was isolating. I was really scared when I first joined. So before I start crying, I need to say thank you to all of you for changing my life. I never thought I'd be planning any further than just getting over the next hangover. Theres a light at the end of the tunnel and its not a train!!!!!!

                  So my son is turning 18 tomorrow.....BIG bash with the family, latin family, big numbers, big celebration and IF I decide to indulge, it will be to toast him and nothing more........I can handle that. I feel so blessed, thanks again........

                          It's late today ... slept in, tired by the cat's dancing
                          But my winged visitor made me think of something. He was trapped, as afraid of me (and the cat) as I was of him. He was trapped by four walls, but how long have some of us been "trapped" by alchohol???
                          Let's break FREE from Al's trap!!!!:banana:

                            I think we should make a hypno CD for the different months. "Now, imagine you are circling around the Maypole; you are going deeper with every turn>"
