Not lame at all. I completely understand that. :l Guest room is ready.

Greeneyes, I'm planning to stay AF forever - but thinking by the month in my mind so I don't feel too overwhelmed. You're two stints of a year each, right? Congrats on that!!

Right, thanks! Thought I might could be a normie after a year AF. Nope. Once a pickle you can't go back to being a cucumber.

Hi again fabbies! Choochie, so glad you are with us and CONGRATULATIONS on 28 days. We're gonna be havin' a big ol' Choochie Party on Wednesday it seems. :yougo: Tell us more about yourself and whatever whackiness happens in your world!

Deter I love that cat video. I'm still stumbling around trying to learn how to use Facebook to keep up with those dang young people. (28) I "shared" it on FB but am not exactly sure who I've shared it with, if anyone. :H

M3 :l. Are you doing better today? It feels so dark when I can't paste a smile on. This doesn't sound good. Let us know what we can do to support you, whever this goes.

AFM, am SO happy for you making such a wonderful decision to follow your heart professionally. Good for you!!!! Will be interested to hear more about your classes once they start in January for your new major. How is your Dad this week? Still resting as comfortable as possible at home?

Bear, I thought of you today when I was at the craft store looking for some ideas for holiday wrapping my Mary Kay stuff. I was looking around at all the jewelry making supplies and asked about a class. I thought back to the posts the last couple days and just thought that is something instead of bars. Don't know if there are things like that where you live. They didn't know when the next jewelry making class will be (probably after the 1st of the new year) but there is a cake decorating class that caught my eye. That one is probably way too close to the sugar zone for me though. That would be the bar equivalent for sugar I think. There was also one for painting that looked interesting. There really is an amazing array of stuff to do out there taking place outside a bar. I will shut up now. We lurve ya bear! :h

LVT, hope you get all rested up. Sounds like you have successfully pasted on your smile. Sometimes that works and sometimes not.

Lav, You continue to inspire, our friend. What did EB dress up as for Halloween?

I'm probably missing some posts but will come back to this one if I am.

Funniest quote of the day, and this is coming from Mr. Doggy: "That guy LOOKS like he smells!" (I'm glad I'm not "that guy") :H

Anyway, are all the USAers voting tomorrow? Here in Chicagoland, we do that early and often. One thing is for sure...

Speaking of sugar........... I feel siiiiiiiick! LMAO! I just ate a lot of my daughter's mini chocolate Halloween bars.

I don't do sugar! Stupid Halloween!

DG, my dad is resting comfortably at home. Thank you for asking. I am going to see him tomorrow. I swear I live in my car! He had a rough day when I saw him on Saturday. He didn't sleep well. Suffering a lot of anxiety. (no doubt). The hospice nurse should have come today and hopefully he will get something for that. I will be calling him later to see how he is. For now, things are calm and stable-ish. I am thankful for that.

Now, back to being sick. Holy barf-o-rama! Now I know why these kids cry about belly aches for days after this! LOL!

Have a good day everyone!

Oh man AFM. I can relate on the sugar ill feeling. Gotta get off said roller coaster.

So...where is Marshy any way? She must be ________________ like an entire blank sheet of note book paper by now. How many pairs of fring adorned slinky new undies did she buy anyway? Enough for a month? Doesn't she have a laptop? WE WANT DETAILS!!!!!

Yes DG-I will be out nice and early waiting for the polls to open. We've got quite the nailbiter governor's race going on. Not thrilled with the incumbant but the other candidates are just plain dog doo.

Mom3-big :l to you. I sure hope this rough spot goes away soon for you and you can find your smile again.

ACK. Sugar. That is all.

Had a nice session with my therapist today. On the drive there I had 45 min to get good and angry about my financial situation (or lack thereof :H) and how deprived I was feeling. I got it all out and definitely felt better by the end of the hour and have a few concrete things I can do to feel a bit better and more in control. It's my last session until the new year as I can't afford the copays anymore. I still feel a bit deprived but it is what it is and I have to do whatever it takes not to lose this house (not there yet but can see danger off in the future if things don't improve).

Yoo hoo Marshy!! Where are you????? Hope you had a great time!!

time to turn in so I can beat the crowds at the polls tomorrow.

Speaking of Facebook, this was a cool link sent to me by one of my favorite groups.

Understanding the Effects of Alcohol: The Science Inside Alcohol Project

And this one tonight:

How to Recognize Alcoholism - Addiction Center - EverydayHealth.com

I have to wonder what some of my friends and family think when I share some of these things. It's no wonder I have no social life to speak of.:H

Been pretty bummed out all day after getting a call from one of my son's teachers and then looking at all his grades, and see him failing 3 classes. Nothing we've tried motivates this kid to work hard in school. He is a good kid, we get lots of compliments on his personality, etc, but he is lazy. We are going to see how he feels about being held back a year. If the work is too hard, maybe he is just not ready for it.

M3, I can certainly relate to wanting to run away from it all at times. I feel like that a lot, but don't really have anywhere to go. Good for you for doing this for you, I'm sorry you're marriage is in trouble. :l

Hi Choochie!!!:goodjob:

Good Morning Everyone - just wanted to say hi and wish you all a great AF day. Day 29 for me (yea) and feeling super. I LOVE BEING SOBER. I have had a few down times but nothing to push me over the edge. I just remind myself of how awful my life was with AL and the the "fun" times were really phony. This is better and I'm trying to protect it -- hold on. Can't wait until I don't even think about AL anymore!
