Booze Busters 30 Day Challenge - 8/21 New Thread!
:sup:
Wow, Finding, if I am reading this right you are going to try moderating? I'm sure you have thought this over a whole lot, and I hope that is the right choice for you. If you find that it doesn't work, well, come right on back here, we will welcome you back w open arms.:armsaround: That also doesn't mean you can't say hi, or skip around the forum, I do it, and I now lots of others do too. No rules here! Whatever works for you is what is right..
July - deeply touched by your ramble. You sure are a nice fellow, meant from the bottom of my heart. I wish you well as you continue your journey, and am happy you are staying on here. You are lucky to have such a supporting wife, sounds like you have a very nice family. All the best to you, July.
DG - Glad you are hanging in there! Must be very stressfull. Yes, the grainery in the garden thing was very scary. If it hadn't got caught up by the power line to slow it down I am sure it would have been smack dab in our bedroom. We had a heavy cast iron BBQ sitting on the deck right by the patio doors, and the wind picked up the LID of the BBQ and set it down right in front of the doors, a micracle that it never went thru them. There was a bucket of closepins on the deck, and they were finding closepins all over the block. I hope your power isn't off for TOO long, it's hard to be patient, isn't it!
By the way, I don't mind the Hannah B thing, actually like it just fine. I will answer to most anything!
Didn't end up going to look at the acerage yesterday - fellow called and said it was his daughter's Bday, and they didn't want to have anyone come to look that day. I was relieved, have to work at maybe being more open to a move if it makes hubby happy. I am just the type to get too emotionally attached to a house and can't see leaving it - although each time we've moved I've grown to love the new house. Just the way I am, as my hubby says, I just don't like change.
Rob - Some real relavations come to light when you have quit drinking, as you say. We tend to think it will solve all the problems in our life. It doesn't, and as you said "Where's the wonderfull?" I guess the wonderful is that we are now sober, it's not eating away at us anymore that we have to do something about this, and we feel better about ourselves. I think that in turn makes our day to day life easier to handle, but yes, it does take some adjusting to. I think my own biggest challenge is that my hubby is so uptight there days, if I could only find a way to get him relaxed it would be a piece of cake. He used to relax when we drank our wine at night, now he doesn't have that outlet. I also realize that there is only so much I can do about this, essentially it is his mindset and he had to look at seeing the blessings in life more than the curses. Easy for me to say, tho.
