Too much driving the kids around, here and there, was hardly home all day and felt so sick it was hard to do all this driving. Was so tense my muscles ache now. Feel bad cause I've been too sick to clean up the house, and it's a huge mess. Also it's ck's bday and I'm too sick to take her out and celebrate... Too sick to walk my dogs and they haven't been walked in two days. Am going to bed early tonight and pray I will be able to get some sleep, I'm exhausted. Too many resentments toward my kids, too sick to do all this driving around but had to do it anyway, and feeling depressed and anxious and don't like myself today... :sorry to be such a whiny baby...

I'm sorry that all of this is happening at once, Susan, but am glad that you were able to get it out of your system (at least a little) by expressing it. Can you not have your kids chip in with the chores? Just a question. Hi IQ!!!!!  Funny, I always like the THOUGHT of popcorn, but HATE how it gets stuck in my teeth!!!!I made a mirror today, for our eldest, who is having a rough time. I used wooden letters, so that each time she looks in it, at herself, she sees the phrase: Illegitimi Non Carborundum...(Don't let the Bastards Grind you Down). If I could, I'd send one to each of you, as well.  |

Hi everyone. Hugs to those that need them and to those that don't  I took one tablet (half strength remember) and it might have put me to sleep if it wasn't for the heat in my room, I am gonna wrap a cold wet towel around my neck and shoulders for a while to cool down and take another tablet and try again.

The kids are 'supposed' to clean up after themselves, and if they actually did that the house wouldn't be a wreck now...  But I'm not cleaning it until I'm able to stand up without feeling faint.

I'm feeling pretty centered and solid (keeping fingers crossed because I know how ephermeral that security can be). I'm sorry that a good number of people I have grown to care about here, are having a difficult time. I try to do what I can with words, but really, I would like to be there for everyone in person. So, centered, but frustrated, I guess. Thank you for asking, you sweet soul! Do you want a full length, or just a small mirror???? Really, I would send one, but I'd be nervous asking for addresses lest someone doubt my integrity. At least that way, I could sort of be there in person!  |

How old are your kids, Least? Can you not "hold out" on things that you are doing for them until they start pulling their weight? There is NO REASON you should have to do it all (spoken from experience, because I WOULD do it, then resent it and THEN drink as a result). Not going there now, nope.

IQ, I totally understand. It's strange though, isn't it, that we forge these bonds here, yet it is still the internet and we need to protect ourselves. About the mirrors though, it was really easy to make, so you could make one yourself! |

Feed the dogs in an hour and go to bed soon after that. Maybe I'll sleep thru the upgrades!

Good night everyone. I am sorry there is so much pain for a lot of people on "Living in sobriety" at the moment. Life is good but life is also tough. Today was very busy for me. I had loads of personal stuff to tend too and I also drove out of town a bit to meet a sponsee. Spend 2 hours there, then did some shopping for dog/cat food and water, cleaning stuff... These things I get in Aldi. (cheap) I buy in bulk .The other food I get in a different shop. Came home and one of my baby chicks was dead..very sad but it happens. Cleaned out their houses. Another sponsee rang and I ended up on phone for an hour to her. Tomorrow she is coming out to my house and we are going over a step. So I have just cooked shepards pie......I am just doing it so it will save me cooking tomorrow. I am sitting in my kitchen now and its a really bad storm outside. lightening and thunder. I have the window open and I can hear dogs barking. My yorkie is fast asleep and so is hubby. I have just put out the lights to watch the storm. Talk about a power greater!! I am glad I am sober today. I am glad I can be responsible for myself. I hope I never forget my last drink. |

I'm sorry so many people here are struggling. Remember that it WILL pass. It always does. For me it is ok to want to drink or use. It is just NOT ok to do it. I hope you can sleep Stoney. Believe, I live in Seabrook, Tx.....and always have room. Much love to all you knuckleheads. |

| Where is everybody I went to 3 meetings, one right after the other. Thought there was going to be another beer pong party going on, got home and the house is empty I don't know where anyone is, maybe I'll text them or maybe not. How come everyone is gone? I'll check in again later maybe someone will be around. Nel, sorry about the baby chick  I didn't get to chat with you today on here.Ro, hope the additional med's are helping you. I missed you today. Tanya, I wish you didn't live so far I would definitely take you up on that offer HOS You are a doll, your mirror sounds wonderful. I don't know how to do anything like that, I use to be artsy with my kids when they were growing up though. IO Why do we do what we're not suppose to, only to suffer later. Popcorn, I do love it at the movies. Stone, hope you get some sleep tonight Least, hope you feel better I don't know if I forgot anyone, if I did, I'm sorry. I don't know what time they are doing this update, all I know is its 9:12PM here now and I thought this was gonna be done 2:00PM my time. Hey who knows. |

Hi everyone I met with a sponsee then went to HG bawled my eyes out and left - sat in the chapel for awhile and talked with my HP. He suggested a Big Mac - well, I suggested it, but he didn't disagree. Fed, and all cried out. |
