Cantoo - funny you should say that you got a 50 million dollar ticket. I just got myself one for a mega jackpot draw worth 70 million EURO. So one of us has got to win

Young@Heart - Hello. Thanks for the wave. I give you a high five.

Sausage - The weather is acting out. Have a Hurricane hitting the East Coast. And some wintry chills over here in the UK. Feel better!

Porqoui - thank you. I am a control freak. So when things are beyond my control I get very stressed. Like on an airplane...Have a great weekend.

Lav - I wish safety for you and your family over the next few days. Never experienced a hurricane myself and hope I never will.

Satz123 - Have a great long weekend. That is awesome.

Don't know what happened there, think she is preparing mentally for AF. I know when I landed back here it took ten days to get in the right frame of mind.

I will PM her again.

Anyone heard from Shue?

Yah ... I find those AFwines so sweet! Really like soda with a dash of sweet mixer tho?

Allan .... Glad things are settling down. Good luck with the new start next week. We get our 60 next week too. Perfect timing eh?

Typed out a message last night.....for my computer to bottle up and lose it.

Thank you Det....for replying so quickly on the book. I have a kindle....but I think this is something I what to have on hand and quickly flip through....so I called up the local bookstore...and its out of stock. So I am ordering it on Amazon.

Congrats to Cantoo! You have to feel great! I remember your early days and you have made such great strides.

Det...great idea on the wine glass. I have not drank wine for years....hate the taste....I am the type of drinker that if you don't have my drink of choice "lite beer"....I simply don't drink. But, I think turning over the wine glass "says it all".

Mick...I noted on your "beware of the drink".

I stay on here....because I love seeing the success. When you continue to see success....you start to believe this "really" can be done.

There are all kinds of stats out there, is this a disease?, will I be an alcoholic forever? Will I fall after 6 months or 13 years....who knows. I just know that I like being sober better. Its the little things that keep me sober. Some days I would love to haul off and get drunk....but, I know better. And now I am almost at the point of forgetting what it felt like to drink. I don't forget the stupid things I did though.

But, for me its not so much "the stupid things I did".....its all the things "I did not do" because I was too busy drinking. People I missed out on getting to know. I always did everything I was "supposed" to do. Its the little things that I skipped out on. And now they are very important to me.

That said.....my HUGE week is over and I booked a ton of business. I ended up in a 3 hour meeting with upper management....again changing my position. All for the positive!

I love being there at night with my kids, I love being a good wife, I love that all my family connections have been repaired....I love having a job that I love. Even though ALL of these things happened little by little....each small part gave me mindset to "keep going"...small steps=huge changes.

Awesome SunFlower

Greetings everyone!
Just wanted to say good night. Nothing happening weather wise around here yet. The stores are just about out of bottled water already

Pretty picture Det! I think I'd rather have the snow. Would you be interested in trading it for a hurricane??'

I have just spoken with a close friend of mine. I have decided to head off this site for a bit.

Earlier this week I posted about something in my life. I did not think I crossed a line....or accused anyone directly. Going to bed.....I was met with a number of nasty texts....from someone on the site. She felt as though I had "called her out" in some way.....but, I never mentioned her name....nor does she post on this thread. And quite frankly, what I said was not about her.

However, when I went to my cell phone provider....they noted that there were at least 34 abusive texts from her. They are now filing the paperwork to get her permanently removed from her contacting me. And filing the paperwork to get a restraining order even though we are states away. At least if she continues to contact me.....makes the case all that better. It is really sad.

I met her here a number of years ago. I have tremendous respect for her. I am not sure why she is so fascinated with me.....as we have never met in person. And rarely actually talked to each other. I may have called her slurring.....she called me after she slept off with some guy that was not her husband.

I am only posting all this....as a warning....this is a website and we never know who we are dealing with. I caution you to be careful. If you tell your kids to not get "know" someone online.....don't do it yourself.

I will no longer post.

Why would you let this person stop you posting? They can't GET you here.

How often have you counseled me in this regard Sun. Back at you babe.

You are not cuddly, you can be abrasive( as can I when riled) but you are brave and smart and have value to all here recovering purpose and direction.

Nuff said? :l

Kuya....I am not abrasive.....I am "direct" as a Northerner is my country is.

Kuya...I would agree....but, when someone is personally texting you....34 texts.....its time to take some time off.

Sometimes you just need to get someone out of your hair And that is what I am doing. its best for me....not her. Best for me....
