      AF Daily - April 1

      I reveived a PM from a former MWO threadmate out of the blue yesterday so I thought I'd pop in and say hello today. All is well in my world. I am sober and (usually) happy. The kiddos are growing up. The eldest is off to college in the Fall. Life just blazes by and I am able to deal with it without my baby bottle. Good to see so many of you doing so well.

      Best,
      Beck

          AF Daily - April 1

          Hello friends,

          I am so disappointed in myself, I could not think of any clever April fool's jokes to pull on my family this morning. Maybe something will come to me throughout the day.

          Cinders, has your hubby ever done any counseling or family therapy or Al Anon? I know you have been to rehab and those places surely offer some of that. It is a shame when the anger turns to meanness--that doesn't help. It is frustrating for someone that doesn't understand the addiction, is there any chance he would at least read about it? You too Universal?

          My hubby has been on a bit of a roll this week. He was Mr. Hyde Wednesday and Dr. Jekyll last night. My youngest got a total all-0ut A$$ reaming for not feeding his cat when he got home from church at 8:30 pm. Granted, he had it coming, he always "forgets" to do his chores, but the alcohol seems to fuel the fire and it turns into an ugly rage. And then he won't let it go. (I will admit, it kind of makes me look pretty good as a parent)
          Last night he was just overly silly and picking on the boys....and he seemed to be in a good enough mood to barely comment on the red and black paint we brought home for #1 son's room.
          Some days it is easier than others to accept his drinking, but I think I am getting better at detaching from the situation. He is who he is, and does what he does. I am my own person and if I have an opinion different from his, I will voice it when appropriate.

          Yesterday was a pretty good day. I kicked butt and made a delicious cake and tidied up the house before my little bible study group showed up. We had a nice visit. My Pastor wholehardedly agreed with those that thought I should let my son paint his walls black and red....so here we go. He IS going to fill the nail holes, I will show him how to tape where we don't want paint and get stuff covered up, and let him go. He has some cool ideas, so it should be fun? He and I went to his ADD dr appt and then did our errands. We had a good talk on the way home. We are going to try the later curfew (I guess I better talk to his dad) and he knows what is expected of him at home and school. If he can't keep his room or car clean, then he won't be staying out that late, if going out at all. He really is a good kid, and has matured so much lately. Not sure if it is the diagnosis, the meds, or just growing up a little. He is on his way to "scholastic day" in English today--he gets to hang out with all the "smart" kids. Unbelievable!

          Today won't be quite so busy, two small jobs and a funeral. This evening I'm going to a "Beauticontrol" party at a friend's house--should be fun!

          Hi Lav, Greenie, and Jenny! Good to see you Beck! Thanks for popping in with an update!

          It is Friday---beware of that stupid witching hour everyone!!! Have a great sober weekend!:h

            AF Daily - April 1

            Morning guys - My hubby did some reading on al anon and found out where the local meetings are. Whethere he goes or not is a different story but he chose to do that research on his own so I think that is a good start.

            My daughter and I had an awesome girls night last night - shopping and watching survivor while cuddling - was just the therapy I needed. Busy day today - PD day here so I have to go pick up a GF for my daughter to play with. I have a meeting at 1 so I will go to that. Hubby apologized to me yesterday for being so distant, said he just is so confused and hurt and angry but still loves me so much and it is hard for him. Made me feel a lot better.

            I cuddled with my teddy bear pretty much all day yesterday - feeling a bit more active today. We will see what the day brings.

            One thing is for sure.....
            Every day is a day to start over and remember that I am powerless over my addiction. I will no longer give the BEAST any power over me - he can go straight to hell.

                Hey all,

                Happy April! I am just back in the UK and am totally sick.

                Big changes in the cassia household. I am resigning from my job on Monday and hopefully, moving to America in six weeks. I have a good chance of a job there that I want and they need my timescales confirmed as soon as possible. I spoke to my boss on the phone and told him my plans and while very disappointed is supportive of my decision. So, we will see.

                Wishing you all a great AF April fools day!

                    No foolin' and no droolin' on this AF-pril 1st!

                    Lavande and AK, hope things warm up there. we finally have some precious sunshine here. wooo!

                    Uni, so glad things are looking up. have you experimented with large doses of omega 3's? iv'e experienced some huge relief from depression and I'm sure taking 6X the daily dose (the fill oil pills I have say take one per day. pah-leeeez!) has helped me greatly.

                    Beck, great to see you and huge kudos on AF!

                    Cassia, how exciting! what state are you coming to?

                    big shouts also to AFM, Greenie and Jenny

                    xxxxx be well and Aloooha Friday

                            hey all - finished work and have all of next week off - can't wait! just got back from training - have a bout tomorrow and practice again on Sunday. Had a lovely bubble bath and some chamomile tea - need to be up early tomorrow to travel but also buy lens solution (I've ran out!) and a healthy light lunch to take with me.

                            Birthday meal tomorrow - keep thinking how nice a glass of wine would be - I KNOW it won't be - I don't intend to - I'm having drinking thoughts and am reminding myself of how much better I feel/all the reasons I wanted to stop. It's not a late night - bed by midnight as got to be up early the next day ready for more skating.

                            anyway - reading smart recovery book before bed to keep me on straight and narrow - and one on mindfulness -focusing on present helps - I'm not drinking now - and don't need to carry tomorrow today.

                            i'll prob check in on Sunday - no pc access tomorrow
