Hey Gang!

Checking in here, but have been hit with a totally absurd MAJOR deadline at work this morning and don't even have a minute to read. Will hopefully get back in later today.
DAY 30 for me :hugesmile:
Love you all and thanks for getting me here!

Congrat's Starfish! Cool milestone friend.

My thoughts are with all who have been affected by the 9/11 tragedy.

[LilBit]

Yay for Starfish! Way to go on your 30 Days!!

DAY 30 for me :hugesmile:
Love you all and thanks for getting me here!

Congrats on your 30 days! I really appreciate everything you bring to these rooms!

[Starfish1]

Thank you all so very much! I appreciate each and every pat on the back and love you all. I am having technical difficulties this evening with my electronics and my phone but will do a proper post in the morning. For now, I am very happy, very safe and sober and very thankful for all of you. Have a safe and pleasant night all :hug:

[KENSHO]

Evening check in. Definitely not out of the woods here - would love something that gives me a "reward for" and "escape from" this crazy busy week. But I know the drill, and have my tools and am playing the events through. Not listening to the AL voice because I know that it's all just BS.

Have a good, safe night all.

Star -- big, huge, ginormous congrats on your 30 days! I'm so glad you're here with us.

[Lavande]

Remembering all those who lost their lives 14 years ago today. I haven't forgotten the fear & sorrow of that day, so tragic.

Starfish, CONGRATS to you on 30 AF days :welldone:

Wishing everyone a safe & peaceful night in the nest!

Feeling really crappy right now. Hubby hasn't worked since July and he is feeling sorry for himself, I try to pump him up but then he goes into a downward spiral thinking everything is going for S..T. I don't know what to do, I am dealing with my own demons right now. ANY SUGGESTIONS OUT THERE?

[Rusty]

Kherriot...so sorry you are going through this right now! I don't know where you live, but could you take a walk if it's safe, a bubble bath, watch a movie...ANYTHING to scare the demons away??

[kherriot]

Thanks Rusty, every thing you suggested would not work. If I go for a walk I will be attacked by a bear or a coyote. But thank you for the suggestion, I have to deal with hubby right now or I won't be able to sleep tonight. He normally does not feel sorry for himself but he is on a real dozer right now.

[abcowboy]

kher, not sure what your hubby's profession is, but guessing oilfield. Can he maybe donate some time to a charity or volunteer someplace? They both look good on a resume to fill in the time that he was/is unemployed?

[Lizann]

Kherriot, is hubby looking for work? Can you suggest a job fair or networking for him. Here in our town there are several groups that meet. One for writing resumes, one for networking and another sounds like it's just a support group for those looking for work. Maybe something like that would take some of the pressure of you. I happened to read the local paper here today and there were a ton of resources for job searching. My coworkers husband lost his job after a back injury and surgery. He took a job at homedepot well beneath his prior pay scale, but he is bringing some money home and feels better about himself. Just some thoughts.
