Morning friends.
Seeing as I am awake on Saturday morning when you are still in Friday I thought I would start the thread this morning as by the time I usually get to read it, my day is over.
Caught up on Thursday and Friday's posts.
Jenny - I felt chills when you described what happened to your daughter. I can not believe that no-one helped or supported your desire to leave. I dont care whether he "is like that" he overstepped the boundary and made your daughter feel something she shouldnt feel, so that is enough to warrent addressing. Good on you for standing up for her. Children should be listened to when they tell you something either verbally or silently by their actions. I thank goodness that I am sober now to be able to deal with things that will come up with my children, like when my son got beaten up recently (by THREE security guards). I was sober that evening and able to deal with it.
Pap - congratulation on 11 months. You have come such a long way. I remember your struggles last year when you tried so hard to stay sober. You had a lot to deal with - your health and jobs. But you have come thru fantastically and are now one of the strongest members here. Good on you my friend. Hope your interview went well.
Still feeling on top of the world. Am worried though that something will burst my bubble and I will come crashing down as it seems to have happened so easy this time around. No cravings - physical or mental, no desire to drink and feel like I am actually addressing the reasons I drank. Even going to the doctors on Thursday, I had no feelings of panic or anxiety. Maybe this time I have actually "Got it".
Looking forward to visiting again this afternoon to catch up on your day.
