LC and Wag, I'm sorry you both are having tough days. I respect so much that you are able to come here and post and stay right on track. That's been one of the hardest things to get my brain around - that there's never a good reason to give up a quit. I think I have it now, though, in no small part to you both and the other Loamers!

Ginger a huge congrats on 50 days, so happy for you.

LC 7 days, a week and more to come. Its a hard battle to be won against al but you know the benefits are well worth the fight.

Well i have a not very well dog again, age takes no friends even in dog land. Her liver levels are 3 times normal and i really am trying to get her to stop drinking! They think it is due to her meds for her epilepsy or her teeth that need to be taken out are causing an infection or maybe cancer. We are not even contemplating the third option at this stage. Just typing this and the vets asked me if she was eating and i said yes and now i think about it she is not. oh damn off i go to ring again.

Wags, sorry for what you are going through. Thank goodness you are not drinking. It's hard to feel the pain but time is a great healer. My dad was ill for a long time before he died and we used to care for him too. It was really difficult and painful. He died in 2006. Now I still feel a little sad when I think about those last days but I try and focus on the rest of his life which he lived with much happiness and love.

Life, my husband and I get along way better now that I am not drinking. He drinks a lot less too and it is good for both of us. I think it sets a good example for our family. Like NS says, recovery is contagious.

Ginger, way to go on the 50 days. yahoo!! Hip Hip Horray! What a gal, what a gal.

J-Vo, big hug from me. Sorry you are/were going through some hard times. I am so glad yo did not drink. You did good sweetums! I love you girl.

Ava, oh boy, doggie is sick again? That sucks. Hang in there, it's tough when our dogs get sick. I wish I could help you more.

Lil B, that podcast NS posted reminded me of you. The peoples pharmacy thingy. NS has the best recommendations. It's pretty neat,the whole concept of kindness to help with addiction. I like it. Maybe that's why this thread works so well.

SL and everyone, thank you for the 70 days pat on the back....it wasn't quite as fun as 69 but I enjoyed it anyway.

Jane, I loved the picture of the circle of hands showing strength. That is us all right!

I went out to two parties on Saturday night and drank 2 club soda,2 Perrier and 1 San Pelligrino. I woke up with a headache the next day....I guess it's all the bubbles from the carbonated drinks going to my head! Kidding... Anyway, I had no trouble staying sober. It was quite easy. How times are a changing!

'Its Off the table' right Pav?

Anyway, this girl is going to sleep now.
Love you Loamers very much.

LC- I neglected to congratulate you on 7 days. You are on your way! Don't forget how precious tip his time you have accumulated is. Don't squander it for anything!

So, what's up, friend? Are you starting again today? If so, good job on getting right back to this life-saving business!

Ava - I wrote to you about your pup in NN but will add more here. Having a sick pup is really heartbreaking. A few months after my mom died from cancer, my dog was diagnosed with cancer. I was still reeling from the first loss, so this hit me hard. When my dog died it was the straw that broke my back, and was what ultimately started me drinking again after about 15 years sober.

I know you don't want to think about sad possibilities, but prep yourself enough that no matter what the news or the course of events, you protect your quit.

Please keep us posted. :huggy


NS - I love all of the links you post for books, videos, podcasts, etc. I just reserved "Beyond Addiction" at the local library - it looks really good!

j-vo - I hope things are feeling a bit better for you today. Family stuff can be so challenging, and when you add AL to the mix it's usually much harder. Hang in there and keep talking with us! :l

Jane - Hope you're feeling better!

Kailey - Yes, there is no reason good enough to give up your quit. It will NOT always be easy. Yesterday was really hard for me - I really wanted to be numb because I was hurting so bad. Today I was hurting bad again but the desire to drink and escape was gone. Protect your quit at all costs - you can do it!
