The day is done thank goodness. Went to the World Trade Center memorial. We explained to our boys exactly what happened to us that day and then we saw the engravings at the memorial of our friends' and colleagues' names who died that day. One guy died from debris falling right where my husband had been standing only a few minutes before. It was sad. I guess I am glad I went in a way but I will never go back. I will say one thing....they did a wonderful job and it is truly respectful and a moving experience.

Forgot to say: my husband left a half glass of beer sitting on the kitchen counter. I was the only one in the kitchen and I was really tempted after such a stressful day. But I didn't drink it!!!
I am just very grateful that it wasn't wine. That would have been harder.

I think you would have dumped even wine, Jennie. You are doing so well! :h NS

Jenniech, all I can say is that after enduring such an emotional day and remaining AF , is very, very inspiring. Totally thinking of you today, and relating to the issues of the father-in-law as well. Thanks for sharing Jenniech, makes me even more determined to get through May AF, if you have endured so much tragedy and have managed to overcome your addiction, so can I!!!!:l

Don't worry, we are on to a new and brighter day Jenniech, make sure you do something just for you this week. Maybe we should all do something this week just for us, as we are almost 2/3 of the way to an AF May! Sending you positive vibes Jenniech, hope your next weekend is stress free and full of sunny days.

Just needed to post this to reassure myself: "I will not let someone else's destructive unbalanced state, cause me to seek refuge in alcohol." You can be as crazy as you like, just stay the hell away from me... stay far, far away.....
There, feeling better all ready! Love being able to jot down notes on the MWO, keeps me focused

Sorry you are having to deal with what sounds like a pretty toxic person, Halo. It can be challenging not to escape in what used to be the normal way, but it is so much better not to. It sounds like you are really getting a handle on all ofthis !

DAY 7. YIPEEEEEEEE. Have a good day everyone. Busy Monday Here in NW

the last straw: I am in for a June thread, please! I find the monthly threads to be so incredibly helpful, while I love the Newbies Nest, it's nice to "hang" out on the monthly threads as well. So count me in!

No Sugar: Thanks for the supporting post, you have no idea the drama that so called adults will construe for attention. Well you actually might, there are more unstable people out there than I realized. Just when I think I finally have a handle on things, life throws you another wrench into the mix. Why are some people so intent on destroying everything around them?Are they upset when others are happy? I think the best is to ignore, ignore, and ignore another's person's attempt to sabotage the happiness of others. Do you think this is the best solution as well? My quit day is March 11, and I am holding on to my AF life with both hands, no one can deter me from constructing a better life for me and my family! Thanks :l

I totally agree with you, Halo. Unless you or someone else is being physically or mentally abused, taken advantage of, or manipulated, it often is best to ignore the destructive person and as my kids got really tired of me saying, Rise above it!! Oh, and Be Nicer than Necessary .
