Hi Daisy!
My join date is pretty darn close to yours. Believe me, I'm the QUEEN of Day 1's...wish I had a nickel for each one, I'd be sitting on a beach somewhere instead of this cubicle! LOL
Do not ever feel bad for how many attempts it takes...the important thing is that you never quit quitting....ever!
I'll be thinking of you and your dad...wishing you both strength.
Hang in there my friend!
K9:heart:I love my daughter more than alcohol:heart:
Believe in yourself. You are stronger than you think.Comment

Hi all; it's been a long time....I decided to post on this thread again as after re-reading all your lovely comments I feel inspired to give it another go.
An update on my dad is he has been, thankfully, accepted for the radio-embolization. It is great news and there are good reports on this treatment. He spent yesterday at hospital getting all the preparation work done for the radio treatment next week. He was 2 hours in theatre. It was so funny because he didn't fast from midnight and got up at 3am and ate Rice Krispies (a cereal). He didn't tell the nurses and just before he left for theatre he started panicking and called me over, only to whisper 'do you think the Rice Krispies will show up in the x-ray?'. ...and I thought he was worried about the procedure! When he came back from theatre he was laughing and saying 'Snap, Crackle and Pop!' which is in the advert for Rice Krispies.
Another mad thing was when I picked him up at 7am to go to hospital, he came out of the house in my mums trousers. I couldn't believe it. He has lost so much weight and thought they were his. Only realised when he couldn't find any pockets! Mum hadn't the heart to make him change as she knew he was already anxious. So when he went to theatre, we went shopping for new trousers to take him home in......gave us a good laugh!
I have been tippling away and unfortunately feel my tolerance building, with less and less hangover symptoms. Thankfully, after my time AF, I know this is a bad sign and I so want to feel good again.
So many success stories carrying through from 2012 which is so nice to see......feels good to be back and I will keep on keeping on......IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO BE WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN

Hi, Daisy!
You sure have been through so much. I am praying that you'll be able to get some good AF time under your belt now. Prayer for your dad, too, that things will go well.
Take care and stay here with us:l"One day at a time."Comment

Threedognight and Hippyman, you have no idea how much I appreciate you tonight. Thank you so much. I am up at 2.30am. I came on here to announce my day 1 is today, 9 January.
Went to see my dad earlier and he looked awful. It scared me. I really am so afraid that he is not fit for the treatment he is getting next week.
He made a joke about my daughter staying with him, but I think he meant it and he is afraid. I done the wrong thing and had a bottle of wine, not 2 as usual but I knew it would be my last. I am drinking diet coke and waiting until 3am as he told my daughter to be ready to come at that time when he rings.......maybe he was joking but he was so sick looking that I feel it was a joke with a jag.....so I will go to bed at 3.15 when I feel he is safe.
Thank you both for caring......I needed it tonight......IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO BE WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN

Hey Turnagain.....good to hear from you; just up and my sis rang. She spoke to mum and apparently dad is still very dozy and slurred speech. He did get a tiny bit of radiation on Monday but next week will be 40 times that amount - if this is his reaction now then it doesn't look good. I think I would rather not see him go through so much just to get a few more months, but we'll see......
It's been a rollercoaster since this all started. I don't have any doubts about staying AF. Last night scared me and I will be on full alert from here on....IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO BE WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN
