    Here's hoping! I have comfort in the fact that she wants to stay in Pennsylvania and not go to college across country. I truly think however it is not out of love, it will just be easier for her to drive home, get her laundry done and eat homecooked meals every weekend! :H Truthfully though, she is my first born and this is super hard for me to see her go out on her own. She and I went through some tough years with my ex husband - he was a big drinker, mentally unstable, and fell into drugs which ended up killing him just a few years back. It was heartbreaking. I was truly a single mom even though I had a husband. Anyway, she has gone through so much and in my head I know she is mature, smart, intellegent and wonderful, but in my heart I want to protect her so she never has to deal with any of that crap again. Who said it would be easy? At least I won't be dealing with all this through the haze of a winebottle!

    When everything seems like an uphill struggle, just think of the view from the top!!

      Hi NOv Folks! Wagoneer, I know how you feel, it is heartbreaking to see them growing wings - particularly your eldest. My wise old Mum used to say always 'let them go and they will come back to you', it is so true - testimony to that is my only daughter home today and ransacking my house as we speak!! I had soooo forgotten what a messy little wagon she is!! It's great to have her home tho - I forgot how nice it is to have a female round the place.
      Good to see you back SJ, hope you feel brighter soon, you're bound to feel a bit low after being sick.
      Hi all else, nice sober weekend ahead!

        HIYA

        Back from a very wet and windy hike in the Lake District. So glad it was only 2 nights!
        It has taken me ages to read through all the posts Wow it has been busy!

        Mollyka have a fab time with your daughter and try to ignore the mess she is bound to make.

        So many new people :welcome:here as well as us nearly new and of course our esteemed old hands.

        My advice to anyone and everyone is to keep posting at any time you are feeling down (or up) as this site can make such a difference.

        Off to Spain early tomorrow to run the half marathon (only 13+ miles) I am not worried about speed just the acheivement of finishing will do fine.

        Cannot beleive I only started this journey on Sept 4th!:thanks:

                Good morning NOvember crew! Saturday here... I'm not sure what weekend this is for me AF. 10? 11? (whatever day Spinning J is on) But I LOVE LOVE waking up with a clear head on the weekends. I've got a yoga class in an hour and it's an amazing one. It's funny, months ago I saw the class in my neighborhood and thought, "Who in their right mind would do yoga at 8:30 on a Saturday morning?" :H I guess it depends on which mind you want to be in. The "Ouch, what did I do, say, how did I act last night??, omg, get me some water!!!!"....... that frame of mind is such a hard way to live.

                Molly, so happy you get to spend time with your daughter! I miss my mom so much. Ican, I love it when fate takes over with the saying no part in this newly sober path. Ice tea is a perfect lunch time drink. Anon, best of luck with the marathon, I think of you often when I'm on the tread mill. You have come so far! Wagon, I hear ya, everything is easier to deal with without the wine bottle. Bridget, hang in there... I was feeling similar to what you wrote a couple of days ago and it passed. Ifyouloveyourlife, good job on day 5! Fantastic work! Choocie, Peace, where is Enja? Big hello's to Everyone!!! There is such a force with the group and so many of us!!! NOvember crew is AMAZING!! :l

                  Mornin Choice, d'ya know I just had a thought re. your remark about yoga classes at 8.30 on a Sat morn. Where I work a notice came in about a 'mindfulness' retreat for 2 days - yesterday and today and I was sad that it was on those 2 days cos I definitely would've gone if I'd been free. This time last year I'd have been laughing at such mumbo-jumbo nonsense - what a long way we come on this journey huh?!

                    Hi all,

                    Had to cheat and get on here at work to get my fix with ya'll. Choice, I know what you mean by a clear head, and I still can't believe how blue my eyes are against a white rather than red background...LOL
                    I have started walking every night which allows me to think and realize the time I have wasted (literally) over the years. I too could never imagine Yoga or anything like that early in the morning or after 5 in the evening (drinking time). I know it is early on, but I hope I can keep this going by remembering the past and not wanting to repeat it.
                    Hope to all of us and let's stick this out... A sober Thanksgiving and Christmas will be my goals for now and a dream come true.

                    Thanks to everyone!
                    5 and sober!
