    Sunday at the Inn...

    Hello everyone, I'm back again for another try. Today is Sunday in Australia and day one for me. C'mon Maxman.. you can do it!! Back on that ole horse!!

    I think they should teach something like this in school:
    When the body tries to break down alcohol, it makes a kind of acid - the same kind of acid found in ANT STING! And that is what you are feeling after you have had a slip.. a brain & body full of ant sting.

    The worst part for me is the anxiety... that is my trigger. This time I have lined up someone I can ring when i'm freaking out. I can't feel any worse than I do now.. must pull myself together and stay on my horse this time.

    Thanks for being there guys, you are all going great!! :goodjob: I'm so glad to know that a slip does not make me unwelcome at the Inn. :l

    Hi Fickle!

    You have the right idea, having a strategy, planning ahead, for those times you feel weak, when ol Al creeps up on you and you don't have one of Suze's sticks handy - everyone has their triggers, and knowing them, and coming up with ways and means of dealing with them is spot on - good for you.

    This Inn was not created for those folks who can quit alcohol without any problems - they don't need the Inn. The Inn is all about helping one another - why would we kick out someone who is struggling? Silly girl.

    Hoping this time is the magic time, when something in your brain just goes "click" and it all begins to work. Have faith in yourself, you can do it.
    The furture lies before you like newly fallen snow - be careful how you tread it, for every step will show.

        Hi everyone, I have not been around for some time, been spending time with my brother
        who is very ill, he has asbestosis and has had a heart attack, he is in icu. I feel a bit guilty
        because I have been drinking some days, I haven't been drunk, but if I continue it's only
        a matter of time. Hopefully today I won't drink. Like you Fickle the anxiety gets me, but
        I too must have a strategy, but at the moment I'm finding it so hard.
        Thanks for listening.
        Love Paula.

          Good Morning INNmates!!

          Fickle- I'm so sorry to hear that you're struggling, but at least you have recognized one of your triggers and have made a plan to deal with it.

          Paula- Minutes spent in ICU feel like hours. I'm so sorry to hear about your brother. If you've got some kudzu on hand now is the time to use it.

          Of course you are both welcome here, the Wreck Room is a little crowded this week so you guys need to come on out of there.

          Hannah and FMS- As usual you are both kindness personified.

          Ok, I'm off to open up the house rules and shout out

          Love and Peace
          Rob

                  Hope everyone is getting through the weekend ok.....Al loves to tell us this is a good time to drink.....don't listen to him! Mondays can be lovely...without a hangover!

                  Just in case Al suggests that Sunday is the last day of the weekend...why not celebrate with a little glass.....I have left a stick outside every door this evening...please, everyone practice swinging it.........

                  It is snowing in my part of the UK today....eeeeek!!!

                  Suze x
                  Just hand me the chocolate and.........I'll consider my position. My solicitor has advised me to say no more than that.

                    Hi suze, Finding, Rob, Go2 - And any to follow....

                    Paula - :l You are going through a tough time, wish we could help - please log on and talk as much as you need to, we are here for you. :l

                    Suze - Found one of you sticks left in the hallway. Anyone missing theirs? I'll have it in my room if you need it.



                    We had snow last night too, big time. Got up this morning to put the dog out, and was very suprised - didn't even know it had snowed during the night. I ventured out this afternoon to buy a few groceries, and roads were TERRIBLE! Made me so glad I have given my notice at work - only 12 more workdays that I have to worry about the highways! Yay! If I was ever doubtfull about my decision, today reinforced it big time!

                      Thanks for your support, things not too bad at the moment. I finished work at 9pm
                      and the car was covered in snow.
                      Good night everyone.
                      Love Paula.x

                        Wow, Suze and Paula...guess you're well north of me - well, that's not hard to be!!! Just cold and wet down here...bought 4 more umbrellas today (QS, buy two get two free!!) as they all seem to end up in my daughter's car....!

                        Paula - hugs to you. So hard. But you're hanging in there brilliantly...keep brilliant.

                        Max, Rob and Go2 and all others on their way - hello! Max - hang in there buddy!

                        Hannah-Deb....I am glad you're not going to have that journey and worry so very soon....

                        It's lovely to check in and 'see' everyone....special in these up and down days. "A perpendicular learning curve" as my dad would say!!!!!

                        Hugs all round...

                          Ok guys now that I've got myself and everyone else confused beyond belief, I've got to post somewhere!!

                          Y'all just pick a thread and post away, but please do post your days, however many or few in the shout out.

                          I know that Thanksgiving is an American holiday, but I think it would be a great theme for this week at the INN.

                          Despite our struggles, and yes there have been many for all of us there is always something to be thankful for, its just a matter of perspective--

                          Hope everyone has a great day.

                          I posted this earlier on the House Rules thread and wanted to make sure that y'all had seen it.

                          It sounds as if everyone has had a good day. Its great to see everyones renewed commitment.

                          Hannah and all who are facing snowy/icy roads, be very, very careful.

                          Love and Peace
                          Rob
