          Who are you people?

          I'm 45.
          I have three sons, ages 6, 7 and 10. I adore them, but they're a huge handful!
          I'm in a difficult, complicated marriage, and don't know where that's going...It makes me ache.
          I'm a social worker/psychotherapist...very good at helping others; not so good at helping myself.
          I waver between moderation and abstinence as my goals.
          I never drank a very large amount...Typically 2 - 4 glasses of wine. But I drank for all the wrong reasons, and my life suffered for it. I use alcohol to change my moods, and I don't want to do that anymore.
          That's me.

            ironic isn't it when we who are supposed to be "professionals" are still battling this silly affliction.....
            dunno about you,but I don't think many people would like an alcoholic vet to operate on Fido :H:H

                Who are you people?

                Well, I'm a 44 year young woman.

                2 wonderful boys 14 and 16

                Had been married for 17 yrs, separated for 10

                Started drinking pretty much then, very hard last 6 yrs,
                and especially hard last 5 months..until 13 days ago

                Current b/f of 8 yrs-how DOES he put up with me??

                I love gardening, reading (Allen Carr-The Only Way To Stop Smoking
                Permanently is what I am currently reading) sailing, aerial sports

                I've always been in Retail Management, between jobs right now

                Currently living with a longtime friend for last 5 months,
                but hoping kids and I to be back on our own by years end.

                City slicker now living in a small small city :upset:

                Well, that's me in a nutshell. :H

                            I'm a window.

                            Private or not, anyone can look through me.

                            Windows let in, and let out.

                            I'm less than 50. Fit lately. Tiresome over some ... persons, I guess. Or the way they choose to react to things. I hate lacking control over that.

                              Who are you people?

                              I am 38, married for 12 years but dating the same man for over 29yrs! I have 3 daughters, 11, 9, and 7...my pride and joy. I am in retail, working 2 jobs. I had a dog and and cat and last week had to put my best friend of 12 1/2yrs down. I miss him....my cat is trying to make me feel better.

                              I have had an issue with drink since preconception as my father and my grandfather were both alcoholics. It just became more apparent within the last 4 years.

                              I wish I enjoyed cooking and baking, but I don't! I like to entertain, if someone else looks after the actual 'hosting' part. I rather enjoy the socializing!

                              That's pretty much me in a nutshell.....live in Canada and DESPISE winter!

                              My hobbies....travelling (I love the hot, sunny beach--live in Ontario Canada, not many good ones!) I love to read, relax with hot, and I mean HOT, baths. I enjoy my computer, and play baseball on a BEER league in the summer!
