      Happy Monday everyone!

      Kradle...wow, sorry you went through so much, but glad to hear things are getting better!

      My little mutt is on yet another round of meds...I had to write everything down in a calendar because she's on so much that I'm confused. LOL Anyway, she is doing SO much better, she was running around this morning like a puppy! I owe the vet $250, but when I saw her running around playing, it was worth it!

      Let's make this a GREEN DAY everyone. I ran out of bumble bee stickers, so I'm on to Roosters now.

      Eat yer spinach everyone

      K9

      p.s. I am 24 hours smoke-free....so far so good.
      :heart:I love my daughter more than alcohol:heart:

      Believe in yourself. You are stronger than you think.

        Day 7. YAY!

        And after yesterday's roller coaster - miracle. But here we are. Day 7.

        Love to everybody. I'm way behind and just catching up from being largely offline all weekend.
        That popping sound you hear is me attempting to remove my head from my arse. It's been there for years so this may take a while.
        Admitting I need healing. And I am not big enough to do this alone.

                Good morning all,

                A little drizzly and grey here, but i know that just above them grey sky's are blue one's.

                Glad to hear your pup is doing well Niner, and congratulations on being off the coffin nailer's for 24 hrs.

                My apologies SL for mistaking you for a teacher. Of course, you are far above that humble station in prestige and wage bracket, being a nurse....... (just joking. Our nurses and teachers are always battling for much deserved better wages and conditions) Congratulations on day 6. Bring on day 7!

                Congratulations PF on day 7 friend. You are sounding a little more positive?

                Hi FF!

                Have eaten me spinach, and off into my working week.

                Have a good one everybody.

                    Hi everybody and I totally agree with Patrice that everyone is doing so well!

                    And love and gratitude to you guys for checking in and supporting me. Things ae much better as my heart calms down.

                    Confratualtions K9 on going smoke free free! I have a vivid memory of being about five years free when I was t a party having my usual 450 glasses of wine and around 2am I thought it would be a good idea to light up a ciggie... Im rember lighting it up with such a sense of antticiation there should have been a drum roll...
                    Well, needless to say that had to be one of the most disappointing and freeing moments in my life as I realized that cig tasted awful and did absolutely nothing for me even though I was completely wasted..it was an incredibly sobering thought. I knew then I'd never ever touch one and I was really free.

                    I'm waitin for the same thing to happen with AL. not certain though how to recreate that scenario minus the 450 glasses of wine !

                    Hope everyone is having a safe and peaceful night,

                    Hugs,
                    :l

                      Hi all, just a quick check in. Kryia helping to avoid any dramas (really notice the effects on that front) and quietly ticking along. Are we missing some peeps on this thread?

                        Made it to Day 8 - today's going to be a bit rough. Laywers. One word. Laywers.

                        Next set. Three words. Thousands more dollars.

                        Inhale. Exhale. L-Glut. Kudzu. Magnesium. Inositol. Taurine. Valerian. Melatonin. All needed at some point tonight. BECAUSE my AB is stuck in FLIPPING customs. Inhale. Exhale.

                        bangs head.

                        One word. Laywers.

                        Now - play along children. What words is Prairie saying in her head? Correct! All the words that saying out loud in public in most Islamic countries would get her tossed in the slammer for....actually when she thinks about dollars - I may have moved onto a Jeopardy category known as "words that will get you stoned" for $500 Alex....

                        Inhale. Exhale.

                          I need help

                          Not sure how all this works - I will call myself a functional alcoholic - its the best kept secret I have. But it's a secret that I no longer want - problem is I don't know how to get rid of it. I am not prepared to do any group therapy or rehab thing, I want to do this on my owm! Not so easy. Any suggestions?

                            Hi Bad Dog -

                            First things first - have you gotten the My Way Out book? It's a good start...

                            You can download it - and if you don't want it from the store if you an iPad or any eReader - Amazon, or the Apple store Im sure have it...

                            The tool box is where everyone is sent first...it's overwhelming a bit - but every thing that has really helped someone is appended there...If it worked for anyone - it's here somewhere...it's free - start digging and making your own get-well/recovery plan that works for you...

                            https://www.mywayout.org/community/f1...box-27556.html

                            Lastly - we are all here because we know we needed to be. Most of us have been here and left several times. When one of us disappears - often it's because we have gone off on a bender. We come back - we are the worse for wear. Stick close - and you do better. Fall away - and it's harder.

                            I say that. I've been here - and gone - been here and gone. Because the shame of a good bender has driven me away. Why I don't know - most everyone here has done it and get's the fact you are dancing with the devil - and worries for you.

                            But be welcome.

                              :welcome: Bad Dog, you are me to a tee. Noone in my 'real' world knows of my 'problem'. I hide it very well (and I'm not delusional about that, they really don't know) and like you determined to do it on my own. MWO has been a life saver for me and enabled me to begin to turn my life around, kind of on my own (well at least in real world), but with loads of wonderful support and sage advice here at MWO. Stick around, read lots, post, stay close. You've found a great site

                                Hi all - day 7, lovely! and 19 AF days in August so far.....
                                Hi bad dog...welcome, you are just like the rest of us, and here is a lovely safe, anonymous place with great friends to share your secret and change it!
                                G - teachers have my upmost respect, and truly deserve a lot more than they get. I could not do their job, my own two are more than enough! I am lucky here in USA to make a living wage, not like the UK, or AU for that matter - maybe why I am still here after 23 years :H
                                PF - chatted on another thread, but another hug here - hang in!:l
                                K9 - how is the sweet parting from ciggarettes (or Fags as they are called in UK - that got me in some serious trouble when I came to the UK, I had a freind who was smoking and talking about her fags was interesting to say the least:H).
                                Hi Kradle, hope things are going ok for you?
                                hi FF - what is kryia? haven't heard of that???
                                Happy Tuesday all....
