Re: One Step at a Time - May 2017

Thanks pauly and Nora!! Happy Wednesday to you too!

Nora, I am doing ok. Still drinking and not in my groove. I don't want to belabor it here as I don't want to be the cause of anyone else's slip, but yet I do want to be honest. Apparently, as much as I was angry with my hubs, I am not able to be accountable by myself. Perhaps I should take a break from MWO until I get myself back in my groove? I've been considering it . . . we'll see.

AG:hug:Stick with us! We all care about you here!!! If you leave, where will you get the support you need? EVERY ONE OF US has been where you are. PM me if you wish...I'm working with my client for the rest of the week but I am always "around."

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2017

AG - I have had the same thoughts. Distance myself from MWO.......big mistake unless you have a very solid support system around you that UNDERSTANDS how this feels. And I do more than you could ever know.
Have you looked at your journal? Have you done roll call or a sticker calendar? Have you thrown it all out? Please let us support you. :heartbeat:

[MENTION=21990]actiongirl46[/MENTION] No one has the power to make any one else drink. As Lav says it's always a choice. Even under dire circumstances.

Hope you won't leave!.. :hug: Just like the other Steppers say, where will you find support? The people at MWO and here on this thread love and care about others. Hope you'll keep posting AG.


Hope Liz's Dad is getting better. As for the wedding plans not being planned. Can certainly understand your concerns-worries. How much is a Mom to do? Let the shoe drop where it will? I'd feel just like you. Advising, supporting reminding them of the consequences is all you can do. Hope and pray they listen and follow through.

Waves to everyone.

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2017

Please don't leave AG. That's like saying I'd better not go to the Dr while I'm sick - I'll wait till I get better. :hug:

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2017

AG, drinking or not, stick around, express what's going on. Obviously, you're (we're) here for a reason. I fight the same thing often, drinking on and off. Like Pauly says, the good, bad, ugly, we're here for you. Work it out in real time, the answer will come in time.

Happy Thursday ! Hubby and I went out to dinner last night and it was lovely. A much needed night out.

AG, I agree with the others. I would miss you if you weren't here. We've all been there. Sending you hugs. I'm here if you need me.

Hubby is headed back to my parents today to hopefully finish the plumbing. It's going to be 91 degrees today! My plan is to stay cool.

Waves to you all. Have a great AF Thursday

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2017

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2017

Wow! Tears here. Thanks so much to all of you.

Rusty, I wasn't really thinking about how else would I get the support I need. You are right.

Nora, no, I haven't been using those tools. Thanks for the reminder.

Glassie, I've been harping on my dad to go to the doctor but he won't because they might find something wrong. Ha. Good analogy, thank you!

I also forget that everyone here has been down the rabbit hole, so to speak. Everyone sounds so healthy and strong. I do get so much inspiration, hope, and knowledge through all of YOU. Alright, no more pity party, I'm here because I need to be. ONWARD!!!
