Good morning, Abbers!
Getting this started for the day, but need to go back and read yesterday's posts in the entirety. Didn't read before bed, as I could barely keep my eyes open past 10:00. Two very long days on my feet after six days a week for a few months seems to have caught up with me!
Sunflower, saw another post in the General section (I think.) Sounds like you have made a final decsision to end your marriage. Hope it is the right one for you. And hope to see you back here with us, too.
YahYah, hope you have a nice visit with your daughter! Just staying AF right now is a big deal. I didn't realize you work in the social services. I'm sure that is a challenging job!
PQ-it's really good to read your strong posts every day!
CanDoo--think you were hiking yesterday? That must have been fun--and challenging. I need to get back to exercising soon.
Raven, I saw the mod post in the Just Starting Out thread. I do think that some people can moderate--I have a friend who has done that successfully, but I never knew him when he was an "alcoholic," as his wife says. And don't know how long or how much he drank , nor how long he was abstinent. But he can know have a couple of beers and stop at that. But I have seen at least one member on that Mod forum who sure seems to have a big problem IMO. And, as somebody else said, why would you come to this forum if you don't think you have a real problem? Anyway, I know that for me, moderation is not possible. I wish I could, but I cannot and that is so often just so hard for us to accept. I did read the EASY WAY TO STOP DRINKING, but not Jason Vale's book, but I do get the point.
I will go and read the rest of yesterday's posts, then come back. Trying to fit in a walk, nursery duty at church for the first time, and I pray I will not have to change a diaper:H then a quick bite to eat with Mr TDN before work at noon.
Enjoy the French Roast--I know Mick will have a big latte waiting for me tomorrow a.m.
