April Achievers!
Good Evening Friends,
Happy end of the Hump Day to all my lovely pals here.:h I just finished the second day of training, and all I can say is, it's going amazingly well....I am SO happy! I've gotten such positive feedback from my client and the 10 people in the class. In fact, my client told the company CEO that he thought I was a MUCH better trainer than the trainer they had years ago. All the hours, the days that I took off from my work (NO income coming in because I'm a contractor) to devote to creating this class has paid off. I know I couldn't have done this whilst drinking every night, especially once my drinking advanced from wine to liquor, because liquor totally took away my motivation to do ANYTHING. Hence, I just kept drinking.
Pap and Star-thank you for your kind comments regarding my much improved physical and mental health. I wish I had woken up sooner to the fact that I was ruining my spirit with drinking, but oh well, what's done is done.
Pap-good luck with kitty.:l This must be so hard for you.
Star-I appreciate all your contributions to our thread. I read and re-read your posts.
Dill-I would feel so badly if you left our thread. I think we just went through with a bit of a dry spell....all of us on vacation, or taking care of sick children, teaching classes, that we were putting our priorities elsewhere.
Lav-I hope Will starts making physical improvements soon....good for you for encouraging him to walk. I wish you had local friends to hang with....:l Like you, I like coming here. I don't have anyone else I can talk frankly with about my AL problem.
Cyn:
Perse-wow, I wondered where you had gone as I had seen you post on other threads. Great to see you.
BHOG-hope you are doing well today. Please share your story with us.
Ok, guys, I must get to the gym. My reward at the end of the day.
Lots of love to LBH, TDN, Rustop, Sooty, and anyone I missed....have a fabulous AF evening.

RE: letting the thread dissolve...I must say it caused a bit of a panic in my soul as well. I still struggle, if not always with the thought of drinking, then with other related spirit/life issues. I have come to count on the depth and breadth of character and insight present in our resilient little craft; for life thoughts, spirit inklings, new approaches to old problems. I feel the same way.:h I am so sorry that Easter is usually a sad time for you, but I am delighted you had an untraditional Easter with some friends....and you had a chance to celebrate your faith with like-minded people.

. Monday we went to an hilarious and interminable birthday party for a severely disabled seventy-one year old man who fortunately did not die in the middle of it?the darkest humor can be the biggest relief. One of the guests makes the most remarkable "sock monkeys" I have ever seen and gave one as a gift, this one was an aging tulle wrapped drag queen, sweet and brave. Happy to be there, and now here. Love, Ladybird.
Apparently my oldest brother has had another stroke, has pneumonia, very low blood counts, circulation to limbs is shutting down. He is being transferred from the hospital today to hospice since he has refused care for so long. It's his choice in the end.
