Good Morning!

First of all HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Cindi on achieving 30 days. So much has gone on in your life, yet you are always here to eloquently cheer everyone on while sharing your own battles so that we can learn from you. I admire you so much because you have handled every curve in your road with such grace. Thank you so much for being here.
Mary, may your husband's cold pass quickly!!! It must be so frustrating to have the surgery postponed. Often waiting can be one of the hardest things we do. With regards to your "slip" last night. You remind me of the graceful figure skaters who pirouette on the ice with such strength. Ocaasionally they might trip but, if they fall, they are back on their feet before you even notice that their buts hit the ground. You're a class act and perfect in my book!!!

OOPS.....my carpenter is here to fix a broken door....will be back..........

Had a rough night last night but made it through......The weekend was a piece of cake but then I suffered through a MONDAY NIGHT......when does it get easier....??????

Terrific Tuesday ABeroonies!!!

Cindi Hooooge Congratulations for you dear!!!!!!!!!!

Mary, you are the best. I hope you know that

well, I'm off on the road for a couple days and if all goes well will still have internet wherever I go. Dx is packing for a trip to Hawaii with friends in a week or so and she'll be gone for 10 days. yikes! usually when she's gone for long at all is one of the times I'd blow it in the past. Staying strong, and being very mindful of my thoughts.

be well friends!

Mary, what Cindi says is so true....you are not starting over, treat it for what it was..a slip. One of your strengths is that you never allow these slips to become "falls" and thats what I so admire about you Mary. No way should today be day 1, no way, ...... you've still got your hard earned sobriety, one slip does not mean all those days, weeks, months are worth nothing. Just carry on with the journey Mary.

Bit down myself this evening....mam went in today to the Surgical Day Care Unit for her regular appointment to have her stent drained on her kidney. She really needs to have an operation to remove it as they are worried it will become toxic and obviously put her life in danger. Having the op is also a big risk for her, she's 80 this year. Every 4-6 months she goes in to have this procedure done as an outpatient for the day. Tonight whenI rang to see how she got on there was no answer so I was worried the hospital had kept her in. (I live 300+miles away.)

I rang the Surgical Unit and they said that mam had gone in but it had been cancelled....when I queried why, the nurse said because of confidentiality she couldn't say, but that the Doctor thought it would not have been safe to give her an anaesthetic and carry out the procedure today. "We will write to her and given her an earlier appointment next time". Her appointment was 3pm in the afternoon. I said to the nurse "its okay, I've just worked it out for myself why she hasn't had it" and when I rang my brother, mam had been drinking - from 10 am this morning. This bloody disease. I'm certainly not short of motivation to stay AF thats for sure.

Anyway, off for a bath and then crawl into bed with hypno cds, I need to go and lie in that river, let the water flow through me, get rid of this negative energy and absorbe the suns rays and get me some positive energy!!! I'm off, see you lovely people tomorrow!!!

Cindi, well done on 30 days AF. The first 30 are the hardest to come by, congratulations to you.

Mary, you have much to be proud of these past many months: perspective and keep at it. I know how much an AF life means to you and how hard you have worked.

Janice, so hard to read such news, be well and guard your own well being.

May all of you, of us in abs land have a good night.
