Hello everybody! Looking like a beautiful day in the neighborhood...
Day 7 of no topa, feeling great! I was definately worried about going off of it, and binging... So far, so good. It feels good to be more alert, and energetic, I didn't realize how much I was missing...

Hi everyone. Thanks for the messgaes yesterday. It helped me to tie a knot in my rope and hang on. I had a good evening and got a good 11 hours of sleep last night so I feel significantly better today. I am laying low - very low today and just trying to plan out my week so that I can deal with everything in a better manner. I really appreciate everyones support - it made all the difference in a very difficult day. Love you guys.

The slightly less streesed Hawk.

Fan, you are trying. You have to remember that alcoholism is an 'adult' problem, as are the problems derived from it. You can tell your kids (autistic or not) you are trying until you are blue in the face. They do not know the logistics of this horrendous disease. They don't have the ability to understand it.

You know you are trying. We know you are trying. You will gain everyones trust back again with consistency and in time. Your ex should be helping with this in regards to letting your children know you are trying and making positive strides in your life. (sorry if I overstepped my bounds here). You have been fighting a disease, one that can ruin peoples lives. All the shitty stuff that happened in your life was the disease, not the real you. The children don't understand it all but she can help them see you as a person who is loving, trying, and someone who has their best interest at heart. I am also not saying she has to pad the blow for everything either. I think it is so important for the both of you to work together so the kids have a better understanding.

I really shouldn't be saying anything. I honestly am not there and don't know what is going on. But, from your posts it sounds like you are struggling to win the relationship with your kids back. If I am wrong, then I am sorry. Ever since my joining here it has been noticed how much you love them.

.... if you hate me for saying this - just PM me.

Hang in there. I know you will pull through this as well.

Ah Fan. That's hard. Keep at it. You know you are trying. Its going to get better. It has to - remember? :hug:

Words came out wrong

Hi...
I just got back in town and had a PM from someone who said that I had hurt people's feelings here with my comment last week about Becca. I went back to review it, and I can understand why. It was my comment that she had made more progress with AA in a week than she had the whole time here on this website. I can certainly see how that must have come across in a negative way, and I certainly did not mean it too. What I was trying to say was that she had been struggling for a long time and after things getting really bad, had finally found her nitch with AA, and had seen breakthroughs that she had not been able to attain prior. I only meant that AA was working better for her; not that MWO was bad. I know we all realize here that the path to recovery is different for all of us. It was not intended in any way to say that this website had not been a valuable asset to her and part of what lead her to where she is today. She was happy for me to share that with you all, so I apologize if my wording was off. I was a wreck of emotion with news about my Mom that day, and not up to my normal proofreading before sending a post, or probably would have caught the way it came across. Hope you understand, and I apologize if I offended anyone.

Thanks,
Allie
