Lola - Congratulations!!

I was surprised to read that you're not always sure where your posts are going as you write them, because I find them to always be clear, honest, and insightful - thank you for taking the time to write them.

I'll check it out Lav. Maybe I'll play it for the trick or treaters - LOL.

Pixie - thank you - I definitely try to speak from the heart so others can relate. :-)

And Molly, thanks. It is pretty funny - I think that any post of yours that I have read, I've always thought that you have a gift for saying things in a way that I can soooo relate to.... :-)

Goodnight, friends. Today has really been special. It's actually been very uneventful in "real" life :-) but you have all made me feel like a superstar here. :h

And now starts year #2. :-)

Lola...I just could not go to bed tonight without adding my congratulations to you. Very well done on your 1 year of sobriety!!! I believe you were one of the first to welcome me when I came to MWO last October. We shared a lot in common (the vodka laundry room :upset, and seeing how you have made your way has helped me come this far (8+ months!). Keep it going girl...you are doing beautifully, and sprinkling so much sober dust all over the nest. You rock! :rockband:

You are an inspiration, Lola. As you know, I am the voice from way back in October 2011 - I'm only 4 days in. But your words to me have been great the past few days. Love your family today as if you lost them and they came back to you.

Congrats on your 1-year anniversary, Lolab! Awesome work!

Thanks also for sharing your story. It's really a good reminder of how insidious alcohol is for some of us as we go from consuming it to it consuming us.

So glad you found your way out and best wishes for much continued success!

I love this. Sometimes I take them for granted. No - MANY times!

I feel so awaful for those with loved ones lost. I put a poster out on my door at work for a 19 year old who went missing a little over a month ago who just lives a few miles away from me. I can't imagine a mother's loss.

I will remember this IF! I start getting short tempered tonight and over the weekend!

:thanks:

"It's really a good reminder of how insidious alcohol is for some of us as we go from consuming it to it consuming us.' ain't that the truth....thanks Sheri.

Thank you too Rainy. You'll do fine. :-) If this weekend gets tough and you have to ask them to give mommy just a few minutes alone to gather yourself and calm down - just remember that it won't be like that forever. It might be a tough weekend but the payoff is HUGE. You've got to go through Hell before you get to Heaven. Sorry - just heard it on the radio. Gotta love Steve Mliler Band. :-)
