You too Techie OMG,my heads gonna explode,Michelle is going through drama with the boyfriend and he took away her phone, id,his mom and Michelle had to leave the house cuz he's being a freak, hubs wanted to go buy her a bus ticket but she can't get on a bus with no id,what a shitshow this has turned out to be, I fucking knew she shouldn't have gone!! Not drinking but livid and scared

[Lizann]

Hey guys, hope you all had a good day.
Mark came home tonight and gave me a great big hug. I asked him what that was all about. He said he was glad I wasn't drinking, a friends father is in ICU after an apparent overdose/alcohol incident. They found him unresponsive and he apparently vomited in his sleep and aspirated. He is now on suicide watch. Scary stuff, but I'm glad Mark told me about it. I love my boy!
Sweet dreams.

[Lizann]

Cross post Pauly. Wow Pauly, that is scary. How far away is she? Would picking her up be an option? Hopefully he will cool off and give her her stuff back. Keep us posted? Glad you're not drinking.

Night all
made it to the gym then did laundry and paid bills..always up lifting ...NOT...Watched dancing with the stars...love that show...makes me want to dance better....practice, practice I guess ..going to bed...those damn internet scammers called me at 8am to tell me that my password was changed...WTF...am I stupid??? Hung up on them and they had the nerve to call me backs and yell at me.......called the attorney general and reported them.....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[NoraC]

Pauly - please keep us posted.

[paulywogg]

She's in FL Liz,I knew it was a bad idea for her to go,damn couldn't sleep last night cuz I'm too worried, she had called from his mom's phone cuz apparently he threw hers into the fire pit!! Not sure if he did the same with her ID,the mom sounds as high as they do she kept pushing for hubs to send money for Michelle to get back home,yeah right

[NoraC]

Oh Pauly.......I am so sorry. Please let me know if you need anything

[Nursie]

Liz, they are in Clermont in the Orlando area.
Nora, thank you for the update on Mama! She has a lot to handle. At least I am not drunk calling her from my front yard any more! Bless her heart for dealing with me.
Pauly, oh dear. That sounds terrible. I'm so sorry you are going through this. I hope that this can be the beginning of their healing?
Daisy, how you doing today love?
Techie, miss talking to you buddy!
Byrdie, I started baking again last night! My husband about fell out of his chair!

I am crawling out of the pits of death, Cancer, grief, and addiction. I am climbing higher and higher. The air is nice up here. My family is so happy. Everyone has a sense of calm that they haven't had in some time. My last drunk was my worst drunk ever and I am glad it is behind me. I think all of my drunk behaviors and episodes will always hurt a bit. They must, or I would feel like "researching" (drinking) again to see if I could miraculously control it.
I am no longer stuck in the swinging pendulum. I do believe I am finally going to make it.
I do believe that everyone can have sobriety and a happy life. I do believe that it takes some people more tries than others. But I pray that we can all live in sobriety peace and safety before anything worse happens because of our drinking.

[Lizann]

Hey guys. Pauly, what's going on with Michelle? I hope that it all worked out already.
Nursie, you are sounding wonderful! So glad you Re here with us.
Went back to work today, first day since I got back from vacation. Lots of people were walking around with masks on. Turns out if you didn't get the flu shot that was offered for free you have to wear a mask while you're in the hospital from now until the end of March or until you get the flu shot. So for the first time ever I got the stupid flu shot! That was my day.
Quiet here today, hope everyone's ok.

[NoraC]

Pauly - any news?

Liz - I thought all medical personnel had to get the shot.

Nurse - you sound great
