Friday 11th April

I just wanted to check back. My husband & the little guy are taking a nap, & the older g-son is w/a friend...one of the pre-school Moms took mercy on us & asked him for a play date.

I'm going to try to post in "What We're Reading" about a book I'm reading by William Cope Moyers. It's called "Broken." It's really wonderful.

I'm doing quite well trying to accept what is happening in my life. I (as an alcoholic) would like to see everything fall into place once & for all. However, that's not how life is. It's messy & difficult at times. I think in the back of my mind, I felt that the issues & loved ones in my life had to "settle down" in order for me to feel I could go wo/booze. I don't know if that makes sense, but I realize now that I'd never get sober if I expected everything to be the way I want it to be.

Hang in there, Mary. You don't have all the puzzle pieces yet. I know the waiting can be so hard. I'm praying for both of you. :h

A very quick "Good Evening" to all my fellow abstainers,
It's so good to read all your posts and know they we're all in this together, even on a Friday evening,when thoughts of alcohol seem to abound.
Stay strong and Sat morning well be even sweeter!!

I'm thinking of you Mary!!

Hi All,

I am starting a detox on Monday, and to be honest it is scary. Booze or wife - no choice really. I have the best wife in the world and I intend to keep her. My drinking has been a problem for all of my life. My father was an alcoholic and committed suicide. I do not want to follow him.

Any advice or guidance to help the first few days of detox (and afterwards) would be appreciated.

Suddenly I feel that I am not alone with this.

Thanks and Regards,

Marcopolo

Hi Marcopolo, welcome,

the best place for you to start posting is in Just Starting Out, you'll get more advice and and responses there to begin with.
So sorry about your father, God Bless, you certainly don't want to be going down that road.
Let us know what your drinking habits are like and how much you've been drinking, then someone will be able to advice you better with regards to detox.

Hello everyone,
I didn't get a a chance to post yesterday, but I'm still here and still AF, only 4days but I'm felling good and positive.

Sorry to hear about your husband Mary, I'm praying for him. :angelgirl:

I know it's not Friday, just waiting for Janice or someone to come along and start Saturday's thread. As I don't know you all well enough yet I'd feel a bit rude starting it.

Take care everyone
love
