Good mid-morning Abbers!

It's a holiday so Im not in a rush - guess no one else is either :H

Had a pleasant dinner with Mr Lav, our son, DIL & EB grandson last evening. EB was very happy to see his Pop. I really hope that helps the Mr to understand that he is indeed an integral part of a family.......

Enjoying this cooler weather! Don't have any plans for today will just play it by ear

Wishing everyone a Happy AF Labor day

Hi Lav, crossposted with you and started my own Monday thread. Yours is a minute earlier than mine so let's stick with yours. If OK, I will copy and paste what I put in mine as I need some help.

Thanks lav!

I'm glad you had a nice family interaction at dinner yesterday. The morning weather is lovely here too. But more hot is in store. I wish rain was, awfully dry here. I have such a blast at the river with little doggie I think I may still go today but park somewhere else to shorten the walk. My knee was hurting last night. Oh, I bumped into barefoot larry and he walked with me a while. Had an interesting conversation with him. He is separated and has a wounded heart. He said he comes to the park as much as he can. I understand that - it is a good place to sort things.

P3, re: your post, what if you put aside the rabies / kennel license issue. Where would you be with the relationship then?

What has happened to auntiegriselda?

Happy holiday / monday to all to come!

I think after last night's dinner I will go procure some good southern BBQ in honor of the holiday. Maybe a big fat brisket with slaw sandwich.

Good morning Fabbies! Thanks Lav for getting us started. You set such a good example of "taking the high road" and not treating things and people in an "all or nothing" manner. I think it is wonderful that you are setting aside your personal hurt and looking at the much bigger picture of YB's role in your life and especially in your family. I'm glad you had a good dinner and I too hope he sees that he has an important place, and especially that he has a WONDERFUL WIFE who is wise enough to respect that place and value him in that place. (how 'bout that for a mouthful!)

He Greenie! I want to come visit and go on a river walk with you and little doggie.

P3, thanks for also simultaneously thinking of getting things going today!

I slept in this morning! First time for that in,......I don't remember when. I'm still in my PJ's. Wouldn't want to make a regular habit of that - never wanted to get up and dressed in my drunken daze. BUT...it's nice to do this for a change of pace. Nothing specific on the agenda today except serving dinner at the mission. Have been just doing what seems to present itself. Sorting through old business cards is one of those things. (ughh - but needs to be done!)

Hope everyone is having a great holiday (US anyway) whatever you are doing or not doing.

One thing is for sure......

well family, there is no easy way to say this. after 2 1/2+ years of sobriety I fell off the damn wagon bigtime. severely hung over here and very very down. just glad to be home and not going anywhere for the next couple days. i was worried about myself for a good week now, but been on the road and working so much I didn't get a chance to do much proactively like get to a meeting. Dx is back on wed so I'm just hoping to get my crap together by then. my biggest pain is disappointing her. I know that when I hurt myself she's hurt as well....inevitable I'm sure.
be well friends xxxx

Aww buggar!! Pull on your BBPs and get your crap together! I'm sorry to hear this and really empathize. Do what you can about the hangover and change your thinking ASAP! It isn't the end of the world. Try not to cause yourself even more pain by imagining what pain she may (or may not) feel. Sharpen the tools in your toolbox and maybe you can get to a meeting soon? :l

Aww Det. The absolutely most important thing right now IMO, is to get your a$$ back on the wagaon STAT. Please don't do what I did and suffer through 8 months of misery on top of this already miserable hangover. It's not always our mistakes that define our character - it's what we do about our mistakes. Get thee to a meeting.

Awww..shite, Det! I do appreciate you being honest with us, I assume you will be with Dx too? I guess it is a good reminder to us that it can happen to any of us if we let our guard down, huh? The mere thought of making myself sick is enough to keep me on the wagon. UGH!:l

I'm kind of enjoying a lazy day too. Left the campsite and came home to do the laundry, straighten up and bit and just relax. Sometimes camping is too much work, sometimes it is relaxing. This one was a little bit of both. Camping used to = lots and lots of drinking. Stumble in to bed and feel like crapola all morning and then start in again. UGH! Much better the sober way, and since it's not legal to drink at this lake, pretty much everyone keeps it under wraps so no biggy. Hubby of course had plenty, but he hardly ever gets to camp with us, so I didn't say anything.

Hang in there everybody!:h

LVT, camping used to be just like that for me too - drink, drunk, bed, hangover, drink, drunk, repeat ad nauseum. Glad you had a nice weekend. How was your son's birthday - fun for him?
