Good morning class. Hope you have a good day on the links Mike. VC, if you around check in. It has been a few days and we miss you. You are the life of this kittle tea party.

Hi friends, Sorry I've been away so long. Things haven't been so great lately. I started drinking on weekends again at the end of May and then crashed into a depressive episode. I've been out of work since last thursday and I'm going back tonight. I was hoping to stay out till monday but I can't. I am thankful I have a job, even if it's a struggle to get there. I really don't want to go to AA, but I really could use a sponsor. I don't know if that can be done. Last night I couldn't fight the urge and I bought a six pack. I think I could've been talked out of it by the right person. So that's where I'm at. Trying to figure out how to get meds that work that I can afford. That's not working out so well. I miss you guys. Thanks for inviting me back VC.

I think the dual major is a very good idea Kindbird. You will still be here with us, the class of January who have worked hard together for our progress and have the shared experience of the new struggle of the new class. They should both have good benefits for you. Sorry to here you are struggling VC. Do not worry about bringing the clas down in general and me in particular. We are all here to support each other and be friends with each other. That is what friends are for. --to share the good and the bad and the everyday mundane. Sorry to see so many of you struggling and wrestling with what is right and wrong for you and your future with drinking including you Mamabin. As I said before we are all here for each other. I am almost always home except for the mornings so anybody please feel free to PM me anytime and I will answer as soon as I see it, which in most cases is instantly. I am here for you all and if I am struggling and need someone to talk to I would hope that I would get the same back. This is why we should all be proud to be in the class of January. Peace.

You are really a sweetheart mr. fubar... teach.... It is wonderful that we all are here even with our struggles... and also the perspective and support those of us who are struggling with drinking still (i.e. still drinking some and not sure what to do) get the support and acceptance from you who have been able to keep alcohol out of your life.. I seem to be in a mini-reprieve from drinking and am appreciating the things that had made me love not drinking back in January/Feb/Mar when I kept things clear of alcholol for several months - things like better sleep, for me joint pain went away - and life is much simpler not having to think about the next bottle you might buy.. much simpler... I am hoping this might be it but still not sure if it is... hugs to all of you | |

Good to hear from you mamabin, missed you. Hope you continue to stop in and post with us. Hang in there VC, you know we care about you. Anything I can do, just let me know. I as well the rest of the class are here for you... us. K-Bird the idea of a dual major seems like a great idea, no reason you can't visit both classes... education is power. You would bring a lot to the other class and also receive from them too. Hey Fub, I've been watching the RBC Canadian Open (3rd oldest golf tourney in the world) on the Golf Channel. It's up there in your neck of the woods at Oakville, Ont. Looks like a nice place. |

Good morning class. Yes Mike Oakville is just down the road from Toronto maybe 10 miles. I would like to move there when we retire but it is too rich for my blood. Isn't the Canadian Open one of the Big 4 golf tourneys along with the US open, the British Open, and the Masters?

Well Fub, hmmm. Lets see, the winner's share of money is 900k at the Canadian. At the the four major tournaments it's 1.3+mil... nope, don't think so. Still not a bad payout for 4 days of golf! I wonder if it's in Canadian dollars... |

Hang tough VC. I didn't watch any of the golf this weekend. If I wanted to watch it rain all weekend I just had to look out the window.

They're playing the last round of the RBC Canadian Open today, the weekend rain pushed it to a monday finish. Looks like a nice day today in your area Fub, sunny with just a slight breeze. Currently watching the playoff... extra holes, between South African Retief Goosen and the Aussie Nathan Green. Sounds like you have a good attitude about your situation VC, keep your head up funny girl. |

Take care VC. We are all here pulling for you. You are not alone. My thoughts are with you. They should play all golf tournaments under domes. As a added bonus the scores would be a lot higher. I spent most of the day with another old drinking buddy that has quit. I bought him lunch because he is a little down on his luck and because I am such a wonderful person. He does AA and he seems to have found a new peace from it so it does work for some people but he also respected that I didn't. I did find the face to face contact with another person in the same boat helpful. That is four out of about 15 of the old bar crowd that have quit drinking which is quite a high percentage and some others just disappeared. Maybe that is what happens when a regular at a bar doesn't show up anymore. Pretty soon I will know more people that I used to drink with than I know that still drink. Only one of them is being an ass about it but he was a donkey when I was drinking too.

Dome golf... awesome. Very gracious of you to buy lunch for your buddy, you are a wonderful person Michael time is over, bride is back. We celebrated our anniversary yesterday. Went to Ruth's Chris' for dinner and I surprised her with a diamond ring that matches her wedding ring, she wears it on each side of the engagement ring...I too am a wonderful person |
