Ladies on a Mission: The Official Site

[NoSugar]

Hi, Gloamers. Good to see you.

SFx, I think people who don't have a problem themselves just don't notice much about who does or doesn't drink and probably don't even think about it being an issue. People who have a problem want to be sure they have access to alcohol and can't imagine that everyone else doesn't feel that way, too. So it's EVERYWHERE! Good job getting rid of it.

Sounds like your full life is rewarding, Pav. It's good to have a meaningful reason to get up every day. And you'll really enjoy your summer holiday this year, I bet! I don't have that drinking issue w/ my family but I do with my friends. It's probably the only thing I would say is the downside of quitting. And it's a price I'm more than willing to pay!

How was the cruise, Nar? And how are things going with you, LB? I hope you've found some peace. xx, NS

I had a funny experience last week.
Lady came to art, she just had a car accident so was disoriented. Anyway, that isn't the funny part.
She said 'I find it so STRANGE that Bob (teacher) doesn't drink! How is that possible? Nothing, never. Why not? How weird is that?'
No one replied. In light of her delicate condition I certainly wasn't going to say anything. Anyway, I always pretend I do not know what is going on and that I don't understand Dutch. Folks think because I am new I just got to the Netherlands.
This is funny too I find. :bouncy:

Check in for me. I remember being amazed and even envious when I found out someone didn't drink.
NS some days are better then others. I have given myself permission to feel what I feel. Even though everyone seems to think I should just move on and immediately replace my husband. What a callous bunch of jackasses. In my opinion.

I guess nobody is here. But I'm still doing a check in. Friday night. In bed early. Looking forward to an unhung weekend. Ahhhh

Hey LB, you are welcome to post with us at May Mojo, I have always read this thread and kind of know your amazing story and commitment to being AF. It might be nice to have two places to post when things get slow. You are welcome if you want.

[Eloise]

I couldn't agree more.
Why in the world would you want to replace your husband immediately? Maybe you will decide you have just had enough and never replace him.
Your decision entirely. Living by yourself can be pretty darn peaceful, if I remember correctly. Ah, peace can never be over rated I am afraid. Marriage can.
I think you are doing the right thing, feel how you feel. People mean well, of course, but can often make no sense.

Thank you Eloise. That makes perfect sense.

Hi, All:

Hope the gloamers had a great weekend. Or a sad weekend that they survived without alcohol.

After June 11 I should have more time. I am very strongly NOT drinking - no time and no brain power to waste.

It was a great sunny day here. I played hooky from work and relaxed. Nice feeling.

[little beagle]

It was a great feeling.

Hi, Gloamers:

Anyone around?

I'm sorry I've been MIA. Drinking is definitely not part of my life. My life has suddenly become very full. I have been working a lot and going on some dates. Feeling better the I have for quite some time.

[SHADES_of_IDAHO]

Good to hear your getting out. Have fun and be yourself. I hope you find that special someone who accepts you for who are and gives you all that you need to become familiar with life as a couple . Single is good too. Just want the best for you!

Hi everyone. I haven't posted for weeks as I have been overseas and also very very busy with work. It does get hard to jump back in when you are away for a while. I did have a read a few times but not alot. However I noticed that MWO has become very quiet and that there are few in-depth conversations. Is MWO fading away? Are people going to new threads. I see that Ne has a new one but it is very orientated towards Baclofen and while I support those who use this, I don't think I would find support for myself on that website. So I just wondered how the other Gloamers and our friends feel about posting these days.
I hope everyone is doing well. No AL thoughts in this neck of the woods.

[little beagle]

Thank you Shades. I am getting out and having fun. It feels good. Almost like coming alive again.
Treetops I think posting is important for us. I miss the Gloamers.
