hi everyone ! Having a good day so far ---had that AV on my shoulder this morning. I think because I made it again to 3 months. It thinks I should celebrate. Well, I came here to celebrate yet another day of being sober.

Hi All,
Thought I'd check in. I read back a bit, and owe a huge congrats to mirage for 5 years! I'm proud of each of your sobriety points, old and new. Sorry I missed Dave, and hope he comes back.
I've still been drinking, but haven't today. It might be the right day to call Day 1. I'm still in counseling, individually, and marriage, and know the time is right for me to quit. I like both counselors, but unfortunately, my wife and I agreed with our counselor that we are 80% sure divorce is coming. It's a shame, as I was hoping it would help us work it out, but I think it's just helped us realize how far apart we are. It won't be easy, so it will be good to become sober again. I'd like to say at least we stayed together until the kids were grown, but I think we've probably scarred them more that we should have with all the drinking and fighting. What I really know is that I can't continue to live this way; both the drinking and the fighting. We have just never grown together in our 23 years. Sad, but true.
One of our issues was my time on SR. My wife would get jealous and suspicious of my time here. Now that it doesn't matter anymore, I hope I can join back in the conversation, and the sobriety.
I've been a wreck since my associates death in April. I had written his parents a long letter at that time, and she called me yesterday to thank me. Obviously, she was broken up. I've never met his parents, but will be meeting them at the gravesite in the next couple weeks. I still miss him lots, but have worked through much of my grief.
I've been having some successes, though. My doc changed my ADD medicine, and it's working wonders. I had lost much of my executive motor function between drinking and my former meds no longer working. And I was literally the walking dead, numb from all the fighting. But, I seem to be coming back.
I hope your cataract surgery went well today, babs! I had a root canal yesterday, and the doctor was an expert; no pain during or after, and only local anesthetic was used. I now have to get the molar crowned, coming up next month.
Glad your music is going well, Dee! I have a nephew making it in the industry, and my daughter is making it in the YouTube and modeling world.
My son has had much progress since I last posted, and now has a good full-time job and will attend community college in the fall. My other son gets back from overseas at the end of Sept, and will likely deploy shortly after.
Much love and admiration for each of you. I'm looking forward to renewed sobriety and serenity.
Peace,
Lofty

hi everyone !
Great to hear from you Lofty---Please keep coming back.
Surgery went just fine yesterday and now I get to do it all over again next
week on the other eye. I'm going in this morning for a recheck and then I'm going to a AA meeting around 1:00 ---looking for ward to the meeting.
I still have what they call floaters in my eye so, going to keep this short.
Hugs

Day 1 again. And this after a good day of work, and an attempt to explain mysellf to my wife, which, as usual, ended in argument. Counseling session this afternoon. I cant afford to go into another depression episode. Something's gotta give, and, for me, it has to be booze.

Hi Lofty!!!!!! Great to see you back again. Sorry things have been rough for you. I do hope you decide to stick around and give sobriety another go.
Glad the surgery went well Babs.
What a day I had yesterday , I was looking forward to a day out shopping and you all know how much I like that.
Up early to beat the traffic ( cause I still have driving anxiety) and the car wouldn't start , I had to wake my husband up to look at the car , my battery was flat , we got it started with jumper leads and off I go but not to the shops I had to go to auto electricians first , they tested my battery and told me it was no good and I needed a new one ( which my husband thought would be the case). $170 later I was ready to go shopping , groceries only now 
. NOT the happy day out I had planned for myself. I also lost all confidence in the car and was that anxious I couldn't wait to get home.
Rant over.
