Ladies on a Mission: The Official Site

[treetops]

Have a great trip Nar. I used to think sober holidays would be hard and although there may be niggles esp at trigger times it's great to enjoy a sober trip. You will see it all through fresh eyes. I wouldn't worry about the other alkies just make the most of the cruise or just relax. Where is it going?

[narilly]

Thanks TT! We are going from Ft. Lauderdale to Haiti, Jamaica, Cozumel then back to Ft. Lauderdale. I haven't been to any of those places so I am pretty excited. It will be a blast! My in laws are both sick right now and my FIL is in the hospital. I just hope nothing happens to them before the trip. Crossing my fingers.

In my first year of sobriety the idea of a sober vacation was scary and I was afraid of falling to temptation and not being able to stay sober. I don't feel that way at all now. Being sober is a way of life for me now just like drinking was a way of life. I don't drink!

Talk later,

[NoSugar]

Made it home and glad to be here! But we did have a great visit. I hope you have fun on your cruise, Nar! I've never been on one.

Are you feeling stronger and better, LB? I think about you often. xx, NS,

Hi, All:

My, NoSugar, you have a way of saying so clearly what I think! Yes, yes, and yes to all you posted. I stick up for addicts now, too. People are so mean and judgmental. Glad you had a good visit.

Yes, Nar, I feel the same way about vacations, too.

LB, I hope you're doing ok.

Hi everyone else.

Pav

[narilly]

Hello everyone, glad you are back NS. I think about Lil B too.

Pav, I stick up for them too. We know what its like to be stuck in an addiction.

I am taking tomorrow off, my daughter is coming home for a week from Uni. I am really looking forward to a nice weekend at home. A sober weekend

take care and stay sober!

Hi Gloamers,
Still sober thank heavens though still in the midst of a pretty crummy depressive episode. On take 3 with meds. My sobriety bank is what's giving me the most strength (with regard to not drinking).

Pav, How awful, and sad and jarring. Tragic. It's unfathomably painful.

I miss you guys and I miss me too. I hope I feel better soon and resume regular posting.

Love to everyone. Have a great vaca Nar. X

[NoSugar]

I'm sorry to hear that you're suffering, Jane. I hope the clouds lift soon. xx, NS

[little beagle]

Thanks everyone. Yes I'm ok. And feeling a lot better. I think all that exercise is really helping.
Narilly I envious of your trip. Not really. I'm excited for you. Sounds wonderful. Hope you have a great time. Unhung is the best way to enjoy a vacation.

Pav - I'm so sorry about your sons friend. My best friends nephew died from driving while he was drunk. I saw what his parents had to go thru. I also worked with a man who's son died the same way.

Jane - I just wanted to drop in and say that I've been thinking of you. Sending you lots of positive thoughts. I hope that they can help you soon. :heartbeat:

[treetops]

Quick pop in. Been swamped with work lately and focusing on that. Great to see you Jane but thinking of you and this serious depression you have. I hope you get relief soon as it can come and go in long cycles. Hope the prescribed meds also help and that you have good medical support. That's essential when it's major like yours. I am sure being sober helps to clear a path through the fog as well.
Big waves to all others.

Hi, Gloamers:

Very glad you checked in, Jane. Sorry you're feeling so bad. I hope it clears up soon. xo

Nora, thanks for your kind words. Good to see you pop in.

Yes, LB, exercise is king when it comes to staying healthy for me. I got a good long hike in yesterday and feel so much better for it.

Nar - enjoy the time with your daughter.

Happy Sober Sunday, everyone.

[STEADFAST]

Just had a long weekend here in Australia, Monday being Anzac day holiday. Three days largely spent laying on the couch, alternating between sadness and rumination, or a horrid combination of the two. Anniversary of Dad's passing. Now i have insomnia (it's just after 1.00am.)

This too shall pass. Have a good week, Gloamers

[jane27]

G, I am so touched...Congeats to you on 30 hard earned days and thank you for holding them up to me. I believe in you and gain a lot from your support and voice. Xxxx
