Hi, Ann

Because you are staying vigilant and are aware of what happened tonight (and shared it here), I bet you aren't "having a slip night before you even take a drink". If you had just buried your feelings, maybe that could have developed. Knowledge is power here! And learning from others. Thanks for the warning which is good for all of us to hear.

Sleep well :l.

EDIT PS: GREAT JOB NOT DRINKING TONIGHT!!!

Ava, I'd love to say I don't drink, but I don't think I can nor want to as that would lead to questions. I'm not up for that now. You needed to put on a few lbs pretty girl! Enjoy eating whatever you want now, and worry about a few lbs. later. And thank you for your thoughts and support. :h

Nar, my plan after the game is to go home with my husband as we are driving through a white out atm. I'm telling him to slow down as I type this!

Humble, loved the painting! We are beautiful! It made me chuckle, too. I'm gonna print that up and hang it next to my bed to remind me of all of us getting up so happy and refreshed and accepting our "real" age! I want a slumber party with the LOAMERS!
:l:l:l
Have fun on your mini vaca NS!

Acadia,
I'm glad you're home. I think we may need to stay away from those triggers for awhile. At least until we get a handle on this and don't feel that way in those situations.

Hi girls,

Internet problems again here so couldn't log on yesterday. Son is feeling better whew!! He gets so grumpy when he is sick..

I also need to stay away from triggers.. it's just too early for me to cope with them at the moment because like you AOM, I think I would feel deprived.

Back soon ( internet allowing!)

Well, it helped to talk about it, thanks, everyone. I know this wasn't a momentous situation, but I could feel disaster right around the corner. Because I have been there, done that. Over and over.

So, talking....my default position is to tough it out alone, but perhaps I'm learning!

Have a wonderful sober evening, everyone!

Ann

Aca well done on not drinking and you put yourself in a hard situation for sure but ultimately it is your strength and choice not to drink and you proved that. oh the deprivation mode, i hated that one. Why me, why can they drink normally and not me but maybe they cant drink normally. maybe that woman had a few like you used to before she went out. You are the strong one Aca and as NS said you came on here to voice your concerns.

Jvo yes i can understand the questions, i felt i was under interrogation when my SIL started about my not drinking and why etc etc etc, maybe that is also a reason why i didnt want to go and see her again as it is exhausting trying to explain yourself when really we have chosen not to drink, end of story.

Hi Kuya and NS why are you amazed?????

Pat glad you are doing well and your son is better, its much nicer when they are well. You get over the deprivation mode like all the other modes eventually but there is always another mode around the corner.

Well i have actually vacuumed and washed dishes so motivation coming back, well not a great deal as i am still on here ha ha.

Mein where are you lovely?

Really, Pav? NS?s picture was actually a photo of me; I just wish the paparazzi wouldn?t use it without my permission! Thank you for the rant. It takes the pressure off mine! NS ? I hear what you?re saying; we all wish we?d come to this realization sooner; we probably all wish we weren?t even here! But on the other hand, you?re not addressing my other question. Okay; we get sober; we get healthy; but now, we end up like my mother! 100 years old; healthy as an ox; but relegated to a warehouse because there is nowhere else for her to go. I mean, when do we put the brakes on? Okay; we get sober in our 50?s or 60?s; life is good through our 80?s ? but, uh-oh, we are now past 90; no one to take care of us or give a crap?. so we go to the warehouse. I?m sorry; I KNOW this must be so depressing to all of you, but I guess I?m dumping on you because this is the ?awfulness? of what I?m currently having to deal with. My sister not only dumped my mother in a ?warehouse? without telling me, but got rid of my mom?s cat. She told my mother that I?ve taken the cat; so now I have to lie to my mother as well. I?m sorry; I?m mourning the cat as well as my mother. Oh no? I can?t believe it; it can?t be true. Kuya resurfaces? Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water? Okay, ladies; I am so oughta here. Have a nice life!

Hi all,

Really enjoying the interesting chats on here.. sorry I'm not contributing much but I will..
Ava, I'm about to clean up a bit too.. more of a sort out actually, put some loud music on..I have to confess I don't do a lot of actual cleaning because I have a cleaner who comes here twice a week... I know, I know, it's really great, there's not one downside to it!!
Thanks, yes boy still has a rattling chest and cough but that takes ages to go away in the tropics for some reason..

Hello all,
12F here and I am freezing again...I hate winter!!!!
Stayed home today..snow and more snow...did laundry and tidied up a little.
Got an email for a fundraiser at the shelter where we got one of our dogs....it looked really interesting until I read wine all night included..what a treat that would have been last year but this year it would be way too tempting even at 4 months..so I deleted it..sigh....

Oh Dot i can so relate to that. I subscribed to a huge bottleshop here and get daily emails on their specials and i unsubscribed to it the other day, it was killing me looking daily.

Pat i wish i wish i wish i had a cleaner, not that i am jealous or anything! It is windy here today so dust city.

What is it with Kuya Loamers?

Hi Patrice! Glad you boy is feeling a little better.

Acadia, talking through these things helps a lot. I need to remember to do that when I'm feeling shaky.

Hi Dottie! Yep, we drove through a white out tonight. I'm visiting folks next week in Florida for 5 days and looking forward to some warmer weather.

Ava, is cleaning your new hobby??? Yes, get an Ipad so we can do facetime! Can we do facetime with more than one person? Oh, that would be a blast!

Caper, I feel bad about your mom being placed in a home and about her cat. Looks as though she lived a healthy life if she's 100, bless her! So what now? We are healthy and feel good about ourselves, our relationships, giving love, receiving it, feeling peaceful, enjoying nature and what God has given us, and working hard at achieving what we want to achieve as well as doing whatever hobbies we like to do. I think that's life and what God intended for us. For us to be happy and live to be there for each other.
And depending upon your beliefs, there is something even better after this life. That's what I believe.

Hi, Ava

Kuya hasn't been on MWO for several months - I was so surprised and happy to see her back. She, Byrdie, and FallenAngel are 3 of the main reasons I'm an AF Loamer happily hanging out with all of you .
