Hello
I was just reading some posts here and appreciating having this place, and the nonjudgemental way everyone helps each other. It's very nice.
Also thinking today about the benefits of not drinking. It seems that there's not enough time to do all the things I want to do, so it highlights the point that when I was drinking I got almost nothing accomplished.
I had planned for 2010 to be a great year after moving to a place closer to work. Au contraire! I drank more and more , met a young lunatic and started smoking crack.
Blindsided by insanity!
SO 2011 has shaped up pretty well but I'm thinking 2012 is going to be great for me. My company encourages learning,training,advancing, which I have done in the past. I've been coasting for a while so it's time to up my game and get with the program.
I hope you don't mind another story-you know I have a million!
I was at a friend's house drinking, and my husband and daughter went to his mother's house and waited for me to show up. I didn't go and in fact had to be driven home by my friends.
The next morning I was due at the airport at 5 a.m. I staggered into the airport VERY sick and nearly passed out going through security. I made it to Goergia where I had some work to do. Called my husband that night and said this is it-I'm sick of being a f***** up mess. He says oh you're not! Which was enabling at it's finest. (This was 2004) I did not drink for about nine or ten months. BUT I was not happy, like I am now. At my daughter's tennis team celebration ( after the sober time) he poured me a beer and that was that. Slowly but surely
right back to the madness.
That period of sobriety and the nine months of pregnancy are the only sober times of my adult life. When I told my sister this she said "How do you know?" HAHAHAHA
I think I KNOW.
Thanks again for indulging me.
Peace and love to all
