Morning Mary and Everyone else!

Yup-I'm in clean mode today too. Getting my choppers cleaned as well & dragging my daughter to the dentist too.

Getting prepared for yet another "phony-in-law" endeavor (daughter's Communion Saturday). I'm not inviting the whole clan as I didn't want to overwhelm myself-getting ready, getting food after-just immediate family. I'm not stressed because a.)I'm not drinking & don't plan on it and b.) I survived my biggest triggers 2 weeks ago that have built up my confidence that I know I don't need the bottle for every little thing (happy or stressful). So I'm enjoying & embracing every moment with open arms. Bring it on!

Have a great Thursday everyone!

Some bickering with DH yesterday over having the subliminal CD playing in the car - he's not crazy about sleep learning either. He acts like they're going to implant messages in him like the Manchurian Candidate. Keeps making fun, so we had a heart-to-heart. I REALLY hate being teased, especially about things that are important to me. Usually he's the only one who can tease me and make me laugh, but this felt belittling. He said he does worry about how much I drink, but because his family are pretty much social drinkers, he doesn't really have a referent of how much is too much. Day 11 AF for me. Vivid dreams.

hey zin-
this is your journey & it does get lonely because sometimes you feel like your're the only one traveling it. That's why I love making my pit stops here & visit with my fellow travelers & share experiences so it doesn't get lonely. Here I can re-emphasize that I'm not companionless in my journey. Congrats on 11! Keep up the good work!

Hello again,

Driving lessons were the highlight of my week back in the day. I hope you enjoyed yours maryt.
Breez.. I really hope everything goes just as you want it too on Saturday. I've a 25th wedding anniversary on Friday and, like you, I'm all geared up and confident this time.
zin..Breez put it sooo well.

Hi Zin....what breez said....

This really can be a lonely endeavour. Just another reason we have to do this for ourselves and not someone else. Keep your chin up and keep going - you are doing just fine.

Thanks so much breez, popeye, lisa ... I want so much to be a "normal" social drinker eventually and my (hotly denied) tendency to perfectionism makes me want to do this exactly right, as if there is an exactly right. Drive safely maryt!

hey everyone..just checking in..pretty busy at work. I imagine it will be this way until I leave June 1st...funny thing, I seem to be more present to the work at hand! I feel good..11 days AF, 4 days off the topa, and 2 days off some other tummy meds I took that made me feel yukky, I'm hoping by the weekend I'll feel 100%. It's been a while.

Yes, this can be a lonely journey..thank God for this site..it truly is a huge part of the healing process, I think. We all need a soul companion though..I'm so grateful to have had a couple of people in my life that I could share my hard times and struggles with over the past few years..if you don't have a real live person, please try to find someone..professional, theological, a woman's group, or a man's group.

Have a good nite all, I'm going home to a book and early to bed tonight.

Happy AB-Fab Thursday all! the trade show is finally over so we are able to relax a tad...whew!! so exhausted and the feeling of the "finale" made me think of celebration drinks like everyone else is having down at the hotel bar. Guess I'll meander down there and have my ritualistic NA beer or two and call in early tonight. Dilayne, very true. I'm lucky to have found my soul companion in my lovely Dx. Be well everyone!
