Hi Det,

I did have a fabulous 4th - thank you very much. No big happenings, just enjoying small wonderful moments with my family.

Sorry you are being challenged lately. I know what that is like!!! And oddly, even though I didn't drink I sort of mentally beat myself up for feeling challenged. I'm not going to do that again - just unproductive. When you figure it out, share

Be well

Det and Beck,

I had an absolutely wonderful July 4th. Hubby had bought a ton of mortars and grand finale fireworks from a friend who gets them wholesale.

Some of the mortars rivaled professional fireworks.

The finales were awesome. Great large shooting gold showers reaching 30 feet high with mortars shooting off and then some lovely stars that lit up the entire sky and felt like they were coming right down on us.

It was gorgeous.

Det. I have been struggling hugely. That is why I am going to try Lenair. I don't know if it is because of the pain I have been in or what but every day has been rough in terms of want. Yes, I can brush them off but some days I simply don't want to.

I want this to go away. I do know that giving in would be horrible. I am too old and have put this poor body through too much to start drinking again.

Anyway, hope everyone else has a wonderful Saturday.

Love,
Cindi

Hi Det and Dx,

I know what you mean. I've been AF for 7 months now, and I'm lately overcome with cravings. Not strong, but could fail if I did not have a good partner ....

Anyway, I guess it might have to do with stress ...

On the positive side, I found back my old wits since I stopped TOPA a couple of months ago. My wife says she notices day by day that I'm getting bolder ... I might be heading for a smacked bottom, hi hi h.


Love,

Padster
