Kradle the date is close. I think once it is done you will feel relief. Your nerves will be shit this week. We are all here. Keep leaning!!!

Cravings are bad at the holidays. They are bad for us all. We can do this!!!

Matt came in this evening just wreaking of marijuana and red eyed. I just let him walk Luna down the road...nothing fancy...

WOW Kradle...see you know you are doing the right thing. He needs to be reeled back in to life.

Nora glad you made it to your Moms safely. What is the plan for today?

Kradle...you ARE doing the right thing. Stay close to us and we will get you through this. I love our family here because it's safe. I can say stuff here I don't even tell hubs.
Holidays are stressful financially, but we don't have any company parties and since I'm the boss at my job, we do a lunch. No booze. Last Christmas the family was having margaritas and I thought "I'll just have one".....bad idea. Nothing dramatic happened but I felt sleepy and woozy all day. This year will be different since Pop is so ill.
I think I may just be a slug on the sofa all day.
The 4400??? Gotta check that out
Happy Sunday all!

Hang tough Nora. What do you think caused the cravings? Flying? Being away from home?? (That's a big one for me....no one will find out, blah, blah, blah)

Hi All,

Dottie, I definitely get into a funk during the holidays. Last year was the first Christmas I did absolutely no shopping. A radio station here has already started playing nothing but Christmas music. I don't have anything against the holiday I just get so burned out on it because it all begins too soon. It's driven by retail and it starts before Halloween, ever notice how many people just have a huge feeling of relief on new year's because it's all finally over.

Sorry for the cravings Nora, it could be worse - at least you're not the moron in Tony's photo with the pickup truck in the water. I actually witnessed something similar here on the Ohio river. The guy backed up his vehicle on the boat ramp and went right in. I couldn't believe it. Thankfully he had his window rolled down so he was able to get out.

Yes, being away makes it EASY to slip because NO EYES on you! I read a lot on here where folks travel for work and that's when they slip. Its too easy to lie to ourselves and have no family breathing down you neck just waiting for it. I can see where that would be very hard. Im ready to put my tree up, but I am waiting til Thanksgiving. We will put it up then. I was thinking maybe Id get a real one this year, but I don't know, they are messy.
My nightmare with this girl we let drive the car continues...she was supposed to return three movies to redbox...guess what? I was charged 80.89 cause she didn't take them back. I wanna strangle her. UNBELIEVABLE!!! I'm pissed...well beyond pissed. I'm really glad I am sober because the drunk me would have went completely bonkers over this. Her BS has now cost me $800.00.

Hello all. So wonderful to be here with my Mom. I love her so much.

I'll be honest here. Really struggling to stay on the AB. I don't know what is wrong with me but I am having a hard time. I guess this is a step in the right direction though. In the past, I would have distanced myself from here and quietly stopped taking the pill and then started drinking. I am actually admitting what is going on with me. Sigh.......
