300 is something to be happy about. Ava.
Pav your right behind her, too.
J-vo I too can smell alcohol on people. I hate when they lie about drinking to me.
If anyone needs or wants my e-mail, phone number, anything please ask. I am here. And I truly enjoying helping others when I'm needed.
Hubby and I are working on this . It's just not easy starting over at the beginning. I feel so bad for him. And yes I am angry he didn't even try to reach out to someone. Thats what takes the power away from that monster. Shining the light on him and exposing him for the fraud he is. Keeping it locked up in yourself just makes it bigger and more important. Ohhhhhh. If only I could get him to communicate with SOMEONE!!!

Hi, all!

Pepper, good to see you stick your nose in!

AVA! 300! It is still two days away for me. I think your friend is so very lucky to have you, and NS hit the nail on the head. I'll bet you're honest and funny with him in a way other people are too scared to be. Too bad you don't have a penis!? I'm very proud of you and your work to stay sober this long. I can't make too long of a speech because I'm saving it all for Dec. 1 and your year celebration. Your the most, to say the least.

Sorry you're feeling crappy, Jane.

J-Vo - I think that it would make a difference in the way we treat addiction if more people understood what causes it. Maybe I'm naive.

I see we'll be out of touch for a while. Wow. I hope everyone has a plan.

Off to deal with the evening with my family.

This is the site Nursie set up when MWO was acting up a few months ago: http://steppingforward.proboards.com/. Registering is easy. It would be a place to meet up next week and see some familiar faces.

I agree that understanding real causes would make a huge difference, Pav. The only other common metabolic abnormality for which the victim is blamed that I can think of is obesity (and that is equally unfair).

Communication is the ticket, LB. I had not discussed my problem (and despair) with anyone until I came here. What a difference that made! I hope your husband finds a peer or mentor.

Jumping in to say yahoo to Ava! Bloody well done Lady!!
Some good readings on here last couple days - thank you to those who keep diligently posting, I guess there are many readers!

Thanks, Pav - I need my nose to be here more often. Am nervous about the site being down, so I did register at the site Nursie set up. Everyone - it's super easy, I'd strongly recommend checking it out. Thanks so much NS for sharing that!!

Happy 300 Ava! I tried to PM you but it didn't work...and I remembered right after I tried that you can't receive PM's. I hope you did something nice for yourself today! I also saw your message re: email addresses. I'd take you up on that if you are open. But I can't PM you!

As for me, I'm a bit off today...for work, I attended a day long conference about the crisis of children being born addicted to opiates. We saw a video in which newborns were being detoxed. It was one of the hardest things I've ever watched - these little babies having seizures, screaming in pain from withdrawal. Although I never drank when pregnant or when my kids were babies, I'm replaying times from their childhood when I disappointed them or wasn't the parent I wanted to be. Like when the tooth fairy forgot to come 2 nights in a row - probably don't need to explain why.

We are headed out of town tomorrow to visit our oldest in college. It's "Family weekend" and according to the schedule I received from the college, we have the option of attending classes with our daughter if we arrive early enough. She would just die of embarrassment! I wouldn't do that to her, but have had some fun with it in texts to her tonight. I can't wait to see her, though. Been a very emotional day and I miss her terribly. Have a nice weekend, all!

Hi loamers, well it has taken me an hour nearly to find bloody loamers. gees i so hope they fix up the fark up of the upgrade. Its stopping me from being a bitch ha ha. 300 days well this one feels totally surreal, it feels like i have totally arrived at being sober, like theres no going back, not that i ever want to go back but 300 days is a massive loss just to al, any day is really. I feel as if i have made it, im happy with my life, im content, im doing what i want without any regrets, i know i can go out and not want to drink (still an odd tug as pav says) but all in all this is how i could quite happily live for the rest of my life. I have not felt this settled in myself for so very long, so long i cant ever remember.

I was telling the boys the site was going down for a week and they said thats great, i could drink for that week and not feel guilty and i didnt have to tell anyone! Such supportive boys but they were joking. Drinking to me is like walking on the moon, it aint going to happen to me.

NS my friend said i dont feel sorry for him and he appreciates that. i do feel horribly sorry for him but he doesnt need to be told that. I texted him today as he had pain in his groin and said "hows your penis", he metioned that only i would send a caring text like that. His op is in a month so i will be spending a lot of time with him for a month while he is in. I so hope it gives him some quality of life again.

Wags im so with you on this site, its driving me nuts no end.

Thanks Jane, not long till you are hitting the big 300. I cant wait.

Jvo thanks lovely, my ex used to have a week off work to celebrate his birthday. it so annoyed me and all he did was drink for that week. i probably joined him but didnt have the time off. The biggest gift you can give to yourself is to be sober for your 50th, i know it was the best present i gave to me. I totally get the days off work, i have days off now as i am sick not hungover, mind you i still use all my sick days. be buggered if i am not having that time off also.

lb thank you, you have helped me so much get to where i am today. I always thought if lb can bloody do it then i can put in my best effort to not drink, if i was in your shoes my head would be that far in the bottle the end would be coming out my ass. You are an amazing woman.

SL ta muchly, i dont get called a lady very often for some reason ha ha.

Ahhh Pav my buddy, my pal, not that its a competition with you this staying sober but you always come to the front of my mind if i feel an urge. no way in this world will i let you win. Having a quit buddy is a definite bonus on this journey.

Pepper, yep pm's, blocked, thats me. i will try and pm you. im not going to get started again or my bitch meter will go to three bars or more. Oh the tooth fairy, ive done that too and i remember their little faces and its so sad that we did that. I am glad the kids dont hold anything against me while i was drinking and they remember lots of things. The good thing is the past is the past. Enjoy your girl and have a lovely weekend.

I have just dragged the boys out and bought some blinds for the back sliding doors. The verticals are stuffed so that has been my present to myself and family today. i am a bit excited to see what they will look like when up. Never would i have been able to afford blinds in my drinking days and i am now broke but i dont have to worry about finding "wine" money for the next fortnight.

Love you loamers xxxxx

Where is LC?

300 AVA!!!! A Big YAHOO!! So proud of you girl. Way to go!

NS, I think that is a great idea to have a place for you to post all your great links to information. Why not set up a link? I know I would use it and there we can post stuff we find too.

Ya, I sure don't miss that puffy face. Gross

I still have to watch the Anonymous people. Maybe I will watch it this weekend. I Cant wait for the weekend. Work has been mental as usual. But I was told yesterday by one of the Senior people on my project who has been here 15 years that he thought I was the Best one on the team. He said if there was anyone he would pick out of all of us to work with him it would be me. Oh yeah, I'll take that!

Love being sober.

Lovely Lunatic Linda - three hundred sober days! I'm doing the happiest of happy dances at your great achievement.



That's a purple knitted brick coffee mug, in case you wondered. I knitted it - does that explain everything?

I set up a thread for anyone on a mission under General at Nursie's site: http://steppingforward.proboards.com...men-on-mission
That website is much faster and because it isn't full of old stuff, finding new stuff is really easy. Hope to see some of you over there, NS

OMG! The site froze and I lost my freaking post!

Ava and Pav, 300 days behind you and so many more to come!! Congrats girls! You two are such great role models on MWO.

Nar, that's a fanflippingtastic compliment! Woot!

Jane, enjoy Florida. Love FLA

LB, NS you know where to find me next week!

Pepper, hope your days picks up and I know it will as you're seeing your daughter. Enjoy!

Gosh, I can't remember what else I wrote, but I have to eat and go to the high school football game. Don't have to, want to. That's the joys of sobriety. OH! I remember what I wrote...today I had inservice. Normally hate it. I loved it today. Two workshops, both on technology. Learned some good stuff and what's actually great was that I enjoyed laughing and being with my coworkers. I had a great time! Is that possible. Yes, yes it is!

Have a great night.

Hey Pav, congrats on 300 days!! You are an inspiration, I know with you it is 'off the table'

My hubby and I had a nice dinner date, we both drank soda water and that was good. He picked me up early from work and we drove an hour to the mountains, had a yummy supper and drove home. It was fun! Now it's 10:23, I am sober and will be able to get some things done tomorrow because I will have NO hangover. Yay!
