TUES 7TH AUG.

You're always welcome to start, Starlight--you're an important part of the group!

It's Day 57
and I ain't in heaven
but it sure would stink
if I took a drink
so I'm not
so there!

Still aggravated with my ex and his need to control access to his sick father, as per my late-night rant yesterday. I will figure something out though. Maddy leaves to go up to see her father today. I hope she is not walking into a wasp's nest. That worries me. The whole situation is so toxic.

Otherwise, I'm okay, though. Just busy, busy, busy. I have so much to do this week, it's overwhelming.

The good news is that it is Day 57, and on Sunday, it will be 2 months!:yay: Now that is something to crow about.

Off to get ready for work and such. I'll check in later.

Have a happy ABs day, everyone!

Hugs,:l

Starlight, I started taking the GABA a couple weeks ago and I'm likin' it. For whatever that's worth LOL - congrats on day 9 and I'm likin' your rhyme.

Kathy - we gotta have a CELEBRATION come Sunday for your 2 month anni. Hope the family / ex stuff calms down soon. Yuck.

Deter you sound very happy that Dx is home, and I bet she is very happy to BE home. Congratulations on Day 48!!! And thank you in advance for the next recipe advice I'm sure to ask you for at some future point.

It's Day 28 and I don't have to wait. (until tomorrow to drive wherever I want to go whenever I want to go there) I just KNOW I have a bright future as a poet. (not)

Have a great AF day everyone!!

Hi all,

It's day 15 and it's a pretty good scene,
I'm glad 14 is done and I'm ready to move on.

Deter. Glad the Misses is home. I would like to smack the hubby more often, but he would probably like it. :H
Yesterday, I saw a small bottle of Kettle One he brought back from his trip in the freezer. I took it out and put it in the bar so I don't have to look at it in order get out some frozen waffles. That's about the best I can do for now.

Kathy, So sorry about the mess with the FIL. And for all the crud I'm sure you had to go through, it sounds like a blessing not to be involved with the Ex and his family on an everyday basis.

Star and Doggy, Good day to you both. Do something nice for yourself.

I have to take my 7 year old to the dentist today for a filling. It's one of 2. The kid has bad teeth. This is filling #5 on his baby teeth. He was off his bottle by 18 months and has great dental care. (A little bit defensive aren't I!) He was just born that way. The older one has perfect teeth. The dentist says, it just happens that way sometimes. I hate it, it's giving me a little panic attack. I'm going to be a wimp and have to leave the waiting room. I know it. If I hear one wimper or cry, I will lose it.

Talk to you later,
Laura

Sorry..didn't read the posts before me....

I'm ashamed that I lasted 7 mos. & it it bit me in the a%%. I wasn't prepared.

Gosh I',m so crying typing this. I don't want a witty party. I'm going thru something I never expected. I'll explain later. Nothing bad....

Please -remember-think before that next drink. I wish I had.

So my FRIENDS (and I hold you soo close)...be warry. I can't believe how much you all mean to me. I'm not counting days anymore- I learned a lot and have gained much from everyone here.

Please ~no pity party-I just want everyone to know-Crap-it gets you blind sided. I bid everyone my well wishes. Be careful. My well wishes- you guys me so much to me ....I'm crying soo many tears. Crap-salt tears-my tan is going to peel.

On that note....arms up-know that voice inside you..hell it's been telling you what's right all along. Listen to it. It's been silent for so long.

love you guys sooo much...gosh I've cried sooo much I need to lay down.:h thanks for letting me be honest.

I LET MYSELF DOWN.....don't cry for me Agentina... pls listen from my mistake. I'm my worst critic...crap...7 mos down the drain.

Infact have given up the soft drinks and junk food today..Water( 5 bottles of today ) and poached eggs on toast for tea...Although i did eat 4...A mans gotta eat..

Lauralynn, it just took me about 4 attempts to write your name then..lol..Your right about the kids...My 8 year old has the worst teeth with the best diet..My 12 year old eats like a horse and never puts on weight...My 4 year old boy never stops moving but is built like a brick outhouse...It doesnt make sence..
Doggygirl, really well done on day 28..Thats some good going...And your right..the poetry needs a little work
The D-Man..48 days is something to be really proud of...Excellent news getting Mrs D back aswell...We miss em when there not there..
Kathy, 2 months, wow..I dont want to speak ill of your ex but it sounds like he's just doing it to get one over on you...But what a way to do it...Could you write a letter to him..or someone higher??
Star, thanks for starting us off today...And whats the story behind the poetry thing...Feeling a bit in the dark here..

Be back on later no doubt...Hope everone has a pleasent day..

Breez, do not beat yourself up. I think for a lot of us who have had a significant amount of AF time under our belts are hit blind sided by a semi-truck. Pick yourself up and carry on. Gosh, if I can, you can! I felt the same as you. I felt weird about admitting my slip (3 in fact in a course of 6 days). But you know - if you do this it is exactly that, you are being honest with yourself. Chalk this up to a learning experience. Now you know what brought on that trigger.

We love you so much and you will always be one of my fav people here. We will be here for you anytime. :l :l :l

Breeze, This is a journey. It is going to have some detours. What we imagine to be at the end of it might be totally different by the time we get there. And for people like me, I just keep traveling....

I was able to tough it out in the waiting room. I could hear him and he wasn't happy, but got through it. He said it didn't hurt, that made me feel better. He was ok about going back in a couple of weeks to get the next one done. The trip to McDonalds on the way to Day Care helped as well. This visit was hard for me because it was the 1st one he had without sedation.

Macks, you sound so much better today!
