Hi Fellow Nesters,
Equallly humbled. Posted all day yesterday, to get through the day. Drank into the wee hours of the morning, (Friday/Saturday) so don't count yesterday (Saturday) as day one. This is my first full day. Still feel pretty shitty. Are we all starting Day 1 again, Dottie and RC? I'm so glad I'm in the company of friends. I'm so glad I'm not the only 'slow learner. I'm proud of all of us that we keep coming back. I would miss each and every one of you if you didn't return. You all add soooo much! We need you.
Ironically, I have such a vivid memory that just before I got my two years of sobriety, I had absolutely given up the fight. I knew without a doubt that I was going to die drunk and there wasn't a damn thing I could do about it. I had tried and tried to no avail, for years. I guess it finally came down to the old 'Let Go and Let God' thing. And then things started to happen. Go figure......
Feeling especially low today, in addition to feeling very sick and shaky. Today was my birthday, and I checked in vain for a birthday greeting from my older son, who I just wished a happy birthday to days ago. Nothing, of course. My husband never called either, and I'm still waiting to see if my youngest son, (who just put out $84 $$$$!!! for a bottle of unnecessary cologne), will even come home with a card. I'm not holding my breath. Is this one giant pity party or what? Well, that's the way I am on day one. Just can't help it. Please hand me the box of kleenex. Boooo Hoooo! Maybe a good cry will make me feel better. It's so rare I have one. Usually it's booze, bitterness or both. Anything but crying. Once I get started, I may just short out my computer........AF since 12/2/12

Not to be so self absorbed, how are you dealing with all your problems, Dottie. You certainly have way more than your share to deal with. How are things with your Dad. And your 'awsome' job?AF since 12/2/12

Ah almost free,
Dry your eyes and get comfy in the nest ~ happy birthday to you, glad you are here
To the other days one folks, be sure you are firmly planted on the butt velcro & hang in
Yes, the ride is bumpy at times but it's not impossible. We are all here to help!
I went to a bridal shower today, some ladies were drinking wine, I didn't care UNTIL I realized the bride- to- be kept putting her glass on the table right under my nose (while she was opening gifts). A half a dozen times I slid the glass away from me because I couldn't stand the smell of the wine. I finally just left, UGH
Wishing everyone a safe & cozy night in the nest!

Have not visited day for a few days...dont want to get him upset by not taking him home...it is really upsetting me a lot...job was tolerable. 2 weeks more this year then I am off for 2 weeks....
Wanted to go to dads this weekend to look for his military discharge papers but just didnt want to go there...will have to this week to pick up the mail...
I think all the stress drove me to the wine box...back to the gym tomorrow so I am hoping a steady exercise plan will help...
Thanks for asking..

Focus on what you need this week Dottie. Your Dad is in a safe place, right?
I know how hard all this is & I also know the wine isn't going to really help you one bit.
Take good care of yourself!AF since 03/26/09
