Popping in to say hi as I'm pooped. After the day yesterday, I was fine today until I got home. Had an appt after work and then we went to dinner. I'm sober yet so tired. Please forgive me for not replying much. I'll tell you, sober is the only way I'll be so productive and calm at work, and it feels good. I won't ever give that up to anyone for any reason.

Oh crap lil B! Are you ok? I hope you don't take it personally, it's a struggle for all of us, I guess he mut have had a weak moment. We all go through that. Xx

NS, ya work is really taking it out of me. I had it out with my lead today, what a Dink. He has no idea how much work we are all doing on this project. There are a few of us who feel the same. One of the senior guys called me in and basically said I was being treated unfairly and that our lead was being a tyrant. Anyway, it is totally exhausting.but I do not have any craving for AL.
Maybe it's the L Glut helping me, hey El?

Dottie, you sound good.
Ava, I wish your arm would get better, geez! It is taking a long time. It sure is great to be AF, I agree

Goodnight sweet Gloamers

Ava - So sorry to hear about your friend's pain and about your shoulder. I hope you both get some relief very soon!

Jane - Yay for feeling good!!! I'm a huge exercise advocate and participant, so I'd support the notion that your activity might have helped. Might as well try it again and see, right? Of course don't be discouraged if it isn't magic, but in general there are a lot of brain benefits that can come from exercise.

El - Sometimes I feel like I'm making an ass of myself as well. I've noticed that I almost always stop and consciously think, "Well, at least I know it's just naturally being a goof and not due to AL, and at least I'll remember doing this later!" It's the small victories, you know?

And you SHOULDN'T j-vo!!! So glad to hear you're feeling good, albeit pooped. Seems understandable to me, but also a victory!

- I'm not 50 yet but I can't run anymore - it hurts my low back too much. So I'm envious of your ability to give it one last chance, and I hope you enjoy it. Good luck with the volunteer thing - I'm sure you'll know if it's something you want to pursue. At least you have all these choices in your AF life.

Hey LB sending you hugs. Which wagon did he fall off if i may ask? What happened?

I have just had a lovely few hours shopping with mia, went to the op shop, bought a steam mop, woo hoo. its the small things in life really.

Nar and Wags, i would like my shoulder to get better too, its better than it was but i think another steroid injection is in order. That i am not hanging out to have i must say.

Off to sit outside and have a coffee and then do some more cleaning. Its great to be functioning on a day off now.

Just getting up for gym... LB- sorry about your husband. Try and look at the bright side? At least he has you to help him jump back on. I sm sure he is feeling sorry about it all today.

Nar- so you did start with the L-glut! I think it does help a lot, pretty cool huh? My back up supply arrived, not I have a good stock.

Wags- i think I am still somehow exhausted from this move & the cancer treatment? Some mornings I wake up and I am just fried before I do anything. No, can blame the wine anymore!

Happy Friday folks...

Can't blame the wine I meant to say Wags. (Need a flat keyboard for the iPad)

LB, I hope your husband has awakened determined to get back with his program. The effects of what happened can be reduced if he doesn't get back to daily drinking. Many people here have had the odd mistake and look where they are now - fully AF. Please help him see that one bad choice doesn't undo all he has accomplished or mean that everything is hopeless.

Remember to take good care of yourself, too, ok? We're all thinking of you. :l NS

I'm here. Thank you for all the support. He's missing in action this morning. His work truck I s sitting the driveway and he's not answering any phone calls. He has two phones.
Honestly I wish he had a program. A support group. He white knuckles and then he doesn't. And he's not drinking, he's smoking crack. Very expensive and dangerous.
This was my number one reason I quit drinking. I was smoking it with him.
I probably have 100 reasons to ot drink now. I'm healing, I have no regrets, I love myself again. I practice my gratitude daily. These things make my life good. I wish he could just get it and not be so lazy. Do something about the problem. Not wish in one hand, shit in the other. His life stays shitty. He's so full of regrets. All because there is no commitment. And I can say this. I live with the man. I know.
Me drinking would only make this worse. Instead here I am. Holding the hands of my friends as my heart breaks to see someone go through this.
Thank you.
