Good Morning Bear - and those not posted yet.
Bear, it is hard to say what is right or will work best for someone else. But can I make one suggestion? It seems you have a lot of stress worrying about something that is down the road a few weeks. Maybe it would help to say - My goal is 30 days af and then I will reevaluate how I feel and decide at that time what I am going to do.
It is very hard not to worry about the future, but I think it is putting a lot of extra stress on you right now. Just think about 30 days first and then you can decide.
Going to work now.
Have a great Tue...oops Wed. Everyone.
Also, I had mentioned last week that my mom was having surgery on 2/27 - having a stint put in an artery in her heart. Well, I got great news yesterday. They did a 'catheter?' took a look inside and found she didn't need one! I was thrilled. She didn't even have to spend a night in the hospital. So thanks for the prayers- special thanks Kathy for your kind thoughts and prayers.

Oh...this past weekend I saw Spamalot (touring co here in atlanata) It was SOOO good...thought I'd just pass that along. I had a great time.

Hi all,

Wednesday evening here. No drinking for 17 days. Not missing it at all. The medications have been changed once again by My p-DOC, and so am probably in for a finny few days. I am determined to get back to work and normality (well a semblance of it!) by next Monday. It is Wednesday night here and I have been doing housework for 5 hours - a bit manic - and driving my husband round the bend!! Oh well...have a lovely clean house now...what to do next?!

Have a happy Wednesday for all of you that re just starting your day.

Excellent news about your Mother Lisa -it's such a relief when the worst case scenario does not come about.

Special occasions are hard Bear - i've got my 10th wedding anniversary coming up - perhaps we should go camping instead of the normal "meal deal". I can't imagine Europe without a glass of something (lucky i'm in Oz for the forseeable future!)...I can imagine it would be hard enough without the birthday on top. I think , like Lisa, get to 30 days and see how you feel. The more you think about it now the more it becomes a "big issue", like being on a diet and obsessing about food.

Love to all

Cashy

Congratulations to everyone. Glad to hear you all are doing so well. Lisa, happy to hear about your Mom. We had a similar experience with my dad quite a few years ago and he too did not need the stint. It is such a relief.

I haven't been posting here for a while but I am happy to say I've made it for one solid week. Seven whole days. Haven't done this in quite a while. I know I have to be careful about this. I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop. But for now I'm just enjoying how much better I feel.

Wishing you all a great day.

Good morning to all!!

I hear you on social situations or anniversaries. I would like to think I could moderate myself to two or three drinks but not right now, I can't believe all the snow coming down right now, it was so sunny yesterday it looked like spring, now it just looks like a day in January. Oh well, snow is pretty.

Wishing everyone a great day!!

Good morning Abs!

Good job to you all on your AF days!

Dreading this upcoming weekend. Soon to be ex wants to come for a visitation with the daughter. I feel like getting hammered. I know I won't but still I really don't know how to deal with the cheating, lying, fool. It has been two months since we have seen him last. Any advice would be greatly appreciated for those of you whom have gone through the whole visitation stuff.

Anyway.... that is my dilema for today.

My meeting with my now, new client went awesome yesterday. Not only did I gain a new client, I gained 3! So business is starting to take off. Officially on Monday, I will be a working person! So happy!!

You all have a great day!! :h

Good evening all....and well done....

Accountable sorry like lou I do not have the experience of visitation etc ....stay strong as you have put a huge amount of effort into staying AF and you are doing brilliantly......great news about the business.

Accountable, how does your daughter feel about seeing her Dad? How old is she? Can you have someone with you while he's there? Is he taking her somewhere? Not trying to be nosey or bombard you with questions. You'll feel better later, and it's better for your daughter, if you try not to your marriage and your parenting become the same thing - no matter how big of a jack ass he is, as long as she is safe. Sorry you have to go through this. It hurts to be a parent sometimes. He'll get his someday; don't worry.

Day 45 for me. Hope everyone else is okay.

Thanks everyone. I wouldn't know what to do without you guys here. My daughter is very little - not even two yet. She doesn't know the difference either way I am assuming. He has been gone for about 4 months with one visit of 10 days at Christmas. If anything he will have to come here and visit. I won't let him take her out. I dunno... I want her to have a relationship with her father, I am being selfish because I am still hurting from what he had done and I don't want to see him. I guess this is all part of growing up. I need to bury my feelings for my child. It is what we good parents do I guess.

Thanks again. And no, barb you aren't being nosy at all. Believe me, I wouldn't dump my business here if I didn't trust you guys. You all are so wonderful! I cannot thank you enough!
