LVT,

I too found 'plans' regarding AL just don't work for me either. I am past 60 days AF, feel better each day and am no longer counting.

When you get through June you will on your way.

Greetings from sunny LA everyone-
Mind if I pop in? You ODAT-ers seem to have a lot of laughs and some good advice. (although there seems to be a bit of a bug theme in todays thread...)
I am AF on day 2- and new here.
If Walnut promises not to spray me for flies- I'd like to stick around...
Thanks
Sheep

Hello Everyone,
long time no talk! I'm glad to see some new faces around!

Agh, life has been tough lately. Really. Husband continuing to drive me crazy ? one he says he?d sign mutual petition for divorce papers and another says ?take me to court?. I can't have him or I move out due to the high mortgage payments; the house is upside down in the market and I can't even refinance it to lower the payments as we are in about negative $30K as far value goes and my mother drives me insane with her constant complains about her friends, her life, her health and what not. She is so damn negative I can not stand to hear her anymore. This past month has been really rough for me. I've been visiting AL almost everyday. Oh, how much I hate myself for doing that. I'm also starting to doubt my sanity - as far as divorce goes and not being able to sell a house or afford to move out, or me growing so impatient with my mother, and I can?t stand my friends lately. Is it me or is it them I wonder?....So I've decided that I should see a shrink to perhaps help me narrow things down. I?ve done some research and narrowed down to 4 shrinks, 3 of which Harvard graduates and one Yale all with over 40 years of experience. Two of them weeded themselves out by not returning my calls, well I know have scheduled two with the other two. I figured I?ll give myself an ability to chose one with whom I can ?click??will see how that goes.

Please pray for me. I need your support to get back on track. I need the strength to pursue a divorce, to sell the house and to learn to leave again.

Much Love.

You are going through a lot and that is an understatement. Your friends have no idea how you really feel right now. You will see things more clearly w/o the AL. *I* have been there before too. Life will go on and it will get better.

You guys sound so great on this beautiful Monday.I know how big a struggle battling AL can be.As a group we are much stronger than just on our own.Had to go to the Dentist today....BAD NEWS!!! While I was drinking the last thing on my mind was dental health,so it is pay back time.I have 2 failed root canals.one he redrilled today and the other will need to have surgery on my gum to get an affected root out.MEGA expenise and much more still to come with no insurance.I am holding ice on my face but the pain is pretty bad.A part of me is very happy because tomorrow is 30 AF days for me but there is another part that is sooo angry at myself for ever getting myself in this place to begin with.Hubby is off the the drugstore to get the RXs filled.I am afraid that the pain meds. will make me break down and want to drink.Codine and AL feel so good together.Pray that I can stay strong.....EVIE

Evie,

Big time!! Everyone was down on me for taking the Vicodin because so many have relapsed on it.

I am on Antabuse, so it wasn't an option, but I understand where they were coming from.

Be careful. Big time.

However, I do not believe in living in excruciating pain, either. That alone will cause you to relapse.

Love,
Cindi

wow

I cannot believe Bessie left us just like that!!?? that is strange..............

Sheepish, funny, welcome too...............day 2 did you say?? You are on your way, day 1-3 may be a little wierd, but I find if I get to day 1, I am fine..................:welcome:

Evie, I am really sorry about your teeth, I too neglect my teeth, my health, everything when dealing w/ al, yet another reason to stay away from him/it...............Watch pain pills, they did me in after my knee surgery just the temptation was too much for me, be careful!

Sorry to hear all your problems My Choice, but I know for mine, they seem to get more bearable at least w/o al..........

Love to you all,:l:h

MA

Bye for the day.................

sounds like things are going pretty good for everyone here. Here? Somethings I loose track of what topic I'm at and can't find it again. So, I'm going to try this ODAT daily thread and tomorrow, go to Tuesday and see if that will work for me Of course, I'm here hoping that ODAT will work for me. I have always put myself up to lofty goals. I use being born in Scorpio as my excuse.
So, another ODAT and I'm good too. It is a beautiful day, and as I said someplace else, I've got a new plan for the rest of my life. I'm excited for Greeneyes and I hope she will write us ALL about her trip to Lenair. xxxx to all, g.
