Hugs MA! I just went through a lot of changes myself...changed jobs, living situation and now the stress of the Holidays. It's hard to tackle everything and I know that feeling of exhaustion. Hang in there, brighter days are around the corner for you and me!

Dear Cowgal...
When the holidays are done, it'll be the same old...same old... for all of us (problem drinkers or not) but for now, extra time off work and extra time to think about whatever....usually family and relationships, or maybe not...being there and seeing this one, or that one that you haven't seen for God knows how long.

Things don't drop into our laps.
They happen because we make them happen; good or bad.
I'll stand up and fight with anything if I know that I'm right, but if I'm wrong, I'll take whatever I deserve.
So I don't want to be wrong

Make good things happen (like waking up early, sober and guilt free tomorrow, or whenever something nice pops into your head; smile and remember it) and then set yourself on your own journey.
Other people have theirs, I have mine and all I can do is my best.

Thank you Popeye,
Things happen because we make them happen. I let things, expectations, stuff kind of pull me down yesterday. Today I got up, ran 5 miles in 15 degrees..brrrr...drank my coffee and am ready to spend some quality time with my sons. Can't tell you how many days after Christmas I've spent so hung over I couldn't get out of bed. I made that happen but today my journey's going in a different direction.
Hey, you are getting close to a year!!
Shelley Happy Boxing Day or is it Boxers Day

Lovely to hear.

Thank you Shelley.

It's Boxing Day in Scotland. That's when all the boxing starts.

Over, done with..................new day better attitude................this job (as another friend told me!?) may just not be for me, but it is the only one out there at the time. sleep does wonders for the body, mind and soul!!!!I really really wish I could have undone alot of things done yesterday during my sleep deprived state...............but it's done, so it's done...................

The end, really the beginning!!??? I have another 2 days off, so will enjoy them to the fullest!!!

Hi MA! Hey, take it easy. Remember this is an emotional rollercoaster ride. Careful with your actions and reactions. Take it slow and easy so that you are in control of your navigational manuvers.
