    An older drunk back on day one. Who's with me?

    Morning all! I never made it by yesterday. Between my dog, and work was crazy, then left right after work to go to a visitation out of town with my oldest son. It was after 10 before I got home and settled in. I picked up my laptop...wanted to check in, but just couldn't. I was so tired. Good to be tired.

    Mby..so sorry about your hubby! Tough times we are in. A trip to the gym is an excellent idea for all the reasons already stated. We all know that alcohol doesn't make anything better, but all of us have played that card, over and over! I will be thinking of you today. Prayers for your hubby getting another job.

    My parents aren't in good health and they once had lots of animals. They can't take care of lots of animals anymore, but they want a dog so bad. My friend, who rescues animals, brought in a little shi tzu who has been horribly neglected for 6 years. He doesn't know how to play or anything. He is so sweet and only wants to sit in laps and be petted, (he's way behind on petting)! My friend thinks he will be a perfect match for my parents. My Dad in particular is paralyzed, so his days are spent in a chair. How wonderful for him and for this little dog to have each other! Pray that this works.

    Good thoughts to all my MWO buddies today. I hope all of you have a wonderful AF day! C U later.

      Wow, DG. What a wonderful development with the dog. Oh, your words "he's way behind in petting." Poor thing. I'm sure your parents would get so much joy from him, and vice versa. I have a little dog, too, and while she is an obstinate challenge in many ways, she also oozes vulnerability. She speaks to my need to take care of little ones.

      Dogs and people have a special path to each other - I hope it works out.

        Raining Cats & Dogs! DB, I hope the little doggie will bring comfort to your dad. I'm sorry to hear your parents are not in good health. How lovely if the three of them can become new buddies :l

          Dogwood - lovely, if the doggie works out it will be a wonderful life both for the dog as well as your father - what a wonderful idea!
          mby - hope you are doing ok with all the stresses I am sure you are dealing with right now...
          Saturday evening and it is that time - had a really tough evening yesterday and hoping today is kinder - I tried to wean the sweets a bit yesterday and had no gummies - not sure if that is what did it - but today I am not depriving myself as I don't want an evening like that again....

            Well, the dog didn't work out. No connection at all.

            And Dick Head kicked the crap out of me last night! I feel like such a freakin LOSER! I guess I'm back on the horse today. Day 1 - AGAIN!

                      Hi to all gummy bears, dogs, puppies, cats, rabbits, oral fans, and AFer's everywhere.

                      Moved house successfully, and it's sooo cool to be living by the sea again. Good for the soul. My internet still isn't connected at the new place, and this may take a couple of weeks, so on a slow wireless dongle thing at the moment, and future communications may be intermittent. All good here though.

                      Take care everyone. G-bloke

                        Well hey there G, thought you'd moved to a galaxy far, far away! Yep, living by the sea is sooo cool. I couldn't live anywhere else. You enjoy

                            Better get your dongle over there and show off.

                                Good Morning all! DB I am sorry you are having a bad time but I am glad you pulled yourself up and came right back . I am doing better staying AF. I dont spend much time at home. I am in school from 8am until 12 noon then work from 2pm until 8pm. My usual pattern was to be home by 8:30 and drink until I fell asleep at 11pm. The last couple of days I have been going to the gym after work and staying there until 10:30 pm then home to shower and sleep. My family is not real happy with what they call my disappearing act. I just need a change of pattern for a while. I have been accused of being selfish. I don't care. Cook your own food, Do your own Laundry, Do some dishes, ect,,,,, Mommy needs a change! If I am going to succeed I need to think about me 1st. BTW my children are 18 and 24 so they can handle it.
