Ladies on a Mission Week 3

Humble :l:l very sad to hear about your son.

Too busy to check in yesterday and this thread's moved so quickly. Will have to go and have a read through. Just to report works do went really well (surprisingly so). I think it was the mindset preparation. A few questions, 'don't you drink'? etc but all fine. Food was scrumptious and I just got into appreciating that.

Have a great day all

Day 30 for me, yay! I don't think I'd be saying that without your help the past couple of weeks or so. Thanks to you all.

Congratulations on 30 days, HR! It is a good milestone to reach - it usually is a long enough period of time to decide whether this is the right decision for you. From your posts, it sounds like it is.

I love waking up with these guys:gratitude, sanity, and rebirth!

Huge congrats Humblerider on 30 AF days..that is huge and a real milestone.

One of my injury stories...when I was single I lived in a basement appartment. I remember waking up on a Saturday morning, after a wild Friday night and I was bruised all over...all I could figure was I fell down the steps trying to get to my apartment...and I had to look in the parking lot to see if my car was there...how I got home is beyond me....NEVER again..

Hi Lovely Ladies!

Humble, I am SO SORRY to hear about your son. My heart really goes out to you :l

I love the G/R/S sisters....gratitude, rebirth, sanity....it beats the hell out of the G/R/S brothers = guilt, remorse, shame!!! I woke up to those guys more than I can count. They are bastards!

I'm sure the injury stories could go on and on, we are all lucky to be alive and somewhat in one piece! I "slipped" on my tile floor once and slammed my head so hard, I thought I was going to die. I had to call for my daughter to help me up. So pathetic!!! Let's keep those awful occurances in the past!!!

Hope you're all well today!

:lOn War Wounds (AL against us drunk dummies) I'm glad we're discussing them, because it does really make you think about how we don't want to suffer like that anymore.

So, one thing I always used to do is give myself pedicures...after a martini or two. Bloody feet. OMG. And I do have dental implants after losing the two teeth on vacation. Oh, I talked about the idiot doc.

You know, I'm on Day 4 on December 4th. My days are so easy to remember. I told NS that come January, I'm completely screwed! So, the dot on the calendar thing sounds like just what I need!

SL, good for using the auto steering wheel! I wish I had one of those about 20 years ago.

Narilly and Dottie, Yes, my DH is a blessing. I'm counting every blessing I have, and he's a big one. Well, he does have a big one, too, but I thought that might be too personal to bring up on an international forum, although that's a blessing as well...Seriously, he's 6'4!"

Pav, wow, so happy for you right now, and not because of the mental anguish, but because I feel that relief you were descriibing. That acceptance and relief is huge. And it's something that happens in a blink of an eye. But the trick is to accept this. I always tried to prove it otherwise. Where did that get me? Years and years of feeling mentally and physically sick. And if you're worried about being a crying mess, just remember how you were a mess a few days ago. This crying mess will be short-lived. I know for sure that you wouldn't want to be crying over another hangover and the situation you were in over this past week.

Looks like I was hugging myself up there in my post. We all need to hug ourselves anyhow! We deserve it.

HumbleRider!!! Congrats on your 30!!!!

And I'm so very sorry for your loss. Very. I love your GSR - GRATITUDE, SANITY, and REBIRTH. I'm going to add - SERENITY.

Patrice, hopefully your day is better and you'll feel more upbeat today! It takes time sweetie. I love the thoughts of living opposite a jungle. OMG. Lions and Tigers and Bears. Do you ever get nervous? My husband would love that!

Available...Day 5 Woot! Woot! Dot your calendar!

Freefly, glad your party went well!

Humblerider on 30...:woot:

Hi K9! Yep, let's keep those injuries behind us.

Hi Ladies:
Well, day one again I have had some crazy family antics going on and I have been letting it get to me.
I need to go into self preservation mode and just look after myself. Drinking is definately not looking after myself!
I am sorry that I am not good at keeping track of all of your posts but I appreciate reading them. We are all in this together and together we can help each other to acheive sobriety.
I am feeling a bit like crap this morning but that will pass. Going for a workout at 4:30. I should have scheduled it in the morning and I would not have been able to drink last night. I am sheduled at 6 am tomorrow morning so it will be an AF night tonight for sure. I am off to a conference tomorrow until Saturday and parties on the weekend. It will be a challenge. I am thinking about taking my antibuse but I always end up playing with it and that is not healthy either. Think I will hit an aa meeting today.
Enough about me, you guys are doing great. I promise to keep posting!
Have a great day, or evening depending on where you are.

Pav- I think you have gone through the hardest part. Now you can start healing and really Living your life! Keep hangin' with us young gals here and we will give you all kinds of support. We are all in this together and can totally relate to your struggle.
Patrice- where the heck do you live if you are across from a jungle? I am across from an Igloo!! Not really but I might as well be right now, lol. -30C windchill today.

J-Vo- you are hilarious!

Hi Ladies:
Now for my injury story. Was at a barbecue and was very tired from running earlier in the day. I had too much wine and tripped on a step bringing plates into the house. Food flew everywhere and I landed straight on my chin. My husband had the good sense to blame it on the new contacts I was trying out and whisked me out of there asap. So embarrassing! I want to spare myself from that again.
I really have not had too many mishaps thank goodness and I don't want to.

I have many injury stories myself R4Life. I have fallen in the shower so many times because I would lean against the curtain like it was a wall and then fall in the tub. My friends had to pull me out of there probably about 5 times over the years. I finally stopped leaning on the curtain.

About 3 years ago I had a dinner party with about 6 other friends there. There was a visitor from out of town who was here to have heart surgery. He had his surgery about 3 or 4 days before this dinner party. So we ate and I got drunk, then I started kinda wrestinlg him because I thought he had the remote to the radio. In our wrestling match we both fell down the stairs, all the way down. My kids were sitting down stairs and just looked at us wide eyed. They were about 14,15. plus all their friends. Yup, me and the heart surgery guy falling down the stairs.
Anyway, he didnt get sick or die, now it seems kind of funny but it could have been really bad. I went to AA after that one and didn't drink for a few months but that didn't last long.

Anyway,
gotta go back to work.
Talk soon!

Narilly,

You might have said this already, but I'm wondering if you have discussed all this with your kids? Has anyone on this thread? Mine are 17 and almost 19 and I just can't imagine telling them I have a problem, have been going to meetings, etc. They have seen me pretty drunk on a few occasions, so they probably know on some level. I just feel so much shame and want my new, "good" behavior to speak for itself. I also REALLY don't want to discuss with my husband, who is pretty narrow minded and condemning of alcoholics. I can't imagine him being open to me or helpful.

Just wondering how you all feel! Sorry to be a downer but this is really on my mind!
