    Falling Apart

    Just thought I would worm my way into this thread. SK8 Did you mention a birthday for your son? I am currently making chocolate icing for my son's birthday cake. ( it's 12.15am). Keeps me out of trouble. Been having two really difficult days and feeling a bit ho hum...
    At least I am not drinking ( just not feeling that great to be sober today) and I have no intention to drink.
    I am determined to get to 90 days...more if possible.

          Falling Apart

          Hey Rebirth welcome to the thread. I tend to just post whatever I'm doing or going through here. So everyone is welcome. My sons birthday is July 28th, same day as my mom strangly enough. By focusing on things for him when he's not around keeps my mind occupied and out of trouble.

          You'll have down days here and there on your trip to 90 days. Actually I had several in a row right around 90. Just have to realize that everyone has good and bad days. We seem to forget that because any feeling was as excuse to drink. But they are just normal human feelings. You'll see once you get through them. The more you do that the more you realize you don't need alcohol in your life.

          I know alot of people starting out can't believe it when those of us with accumilated alcohol free time say iy gets easier but it does. I can honestly say I don't even think about it anymore. I've even gone out with friends to bars while they drank and I had ice tea. Didn't bother me at all. But I don't suggest that for everyone. You'll know when your ready for that step.

            Your picture is gorgeous! And your new life is just beginning. I will lay odds that in a year or two, you will WISH to be home baking because your life will be so busy! I know you don't believe that right now, but that's OK. Keep staying sober ODAT and the rest will take care of itself.

            Hi Sk8. So what did you get your son? A new shirt for Dad outings? What else?

              Falling Apart

              Thanks sk8. Its comforting to hear that it will get easier in time. I gave up cigarettes a while back and I dont think about them at all. So i am guessing that AL will be the same eventuelly. just got to hang on.
              My son is 6 this sunday so I have been baking etc. But I cant sleep for some reason. I wish i could!

              Was thinking about what you said about single life. I was single for a very long time...I tried intenet dating once but that was a major disaster!

                    Since I don't have anyone but you guys to share things or rant about things with I guess I'll share a photo of my new skate/punk shoes of choice...




                    The red ones came today. I've had the black ones for a few months now. Yes they look just like Converse All Stars but these are made a hell of alot better. Yes this is what I consider excitement in my life now...a new pair of shoes.....

                    and here is one of my favorite bands doing a song called New Shoes...they also share my love of sunglasses...

                      Umm A bunch of motorcycle and car toys and tracks. Gonna go back out on Sunday to see if I can find anything else. Yes I guess I'm going a little overboard with the gifts but I like giving. I love watching his face light up and hearing him go WHOAAA! I just love the honesty of kids. Oh I got him a little skateboard guy who does tricks too. I just had to sneak something like that in.

                        Falling Apart

                        Rebirth - I live near Chicago. (well, Chicagoans don't think where I live is near Chicago, but other people think it's fairly close!) :H

                        I met my husband through an internet dating service and he's a real gem. So you never know!

                        Sk8 I like your new shoes. I like the band too, amazingly enough considering my old fart status. (well, 29 isn't THAT old...:H)

                        Shoes are worth loving. I love LOTS of them. I don't know why I never really noticed shoes until I stopped drinking. I used to have only a few shoes and now I just never seem to have enough shoes. I used to have some high top tennis shoes - red ones and blue ones. Who knew our feet could keep growing after age 50 (29)? Had to give them away. They had "That's All Folks" etched in the bottom of them.

                        Anyway, enough of my babble for tonight. You all have fun OK?

                            Rebirth, Doggygirl is right. I know I already enjoy sober Fridays alot more then when I was drinking. Lets see its 7:49 here so I probably would've had at least a 6 pack by now. It wasn't unusual for me to drink two beers within the first half hour of being home. I used to try to drink a fast as possible to get drunk fast but by 10 I would be hating the fact I was this wasted. So yes I don't miss it at all. Especially the Saturday mornings. I'm very happy with my sobrity just unhappy with the situation my drinking caused. Drinking cost me alot and I don't mean money.

                              Cool shoes SK8. I like both of them. The music is great too ( a bit like The Clash??).
                              I am guessing your son is 3? Wait till he turns 6. My littel boy wants a nintendo DS, before that he wanted a WII.
                              This year i bought him the new mario bros galaxy ( great graphics). He is also have a birthday party tomorrow and I am taking him to a theme park on sunday. I am really excited! Hence the imsomnia I guess.

                              I must get to sleep. It's 1am!! Night and thanks for the chat DG and SK8. Later aligator

                                Love the shoes SK8! I want a pair of those boots(exactly)that Hippie posted in Starty 2 Year Thread. I even checked out some doc marten sites and couldn't find any like them. Probably good thing cuz I can't afford any right now anyways.

                                Hi Rebirth. As everyone says you are BEAUTIFUL!

                                Howdy DG! Our feet aren't the only things that grew heh? lol

                                Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
