Being the control freak I am, (think Monica from Friends, but less tidy and less good looking) I think we should have a MIA thread, where people can post if they are going to disappear a while, for whatever reason. Holidays, the sulks, relapses, don't matter.

gee thanks you guys ....... I am overwhelmed with gratitude !
I am doing ok I guess. I friend from sr is helping out with hp stuff and forgiveness etc.
I have only 3 days clean and am sceptical (to be honest) that I can do this, because I'm so beaten down with stress.
That being said, I am trying hard and I'm taking the -no dope/no drink thing-
one day at a time.
I love you all.

(((Joe)))
Thanks for checking in. You are ALWAYS in my thoughts and prayers, and I'm very proud of you for reaching out for help.
Maybe instead of being skeptical, you can just be grateful for each night you hit the pillow clean? I know, easier said than done, but I just hate to see you beating up on yourself, and not giving yourself a break. One day clean is awesome, 3 is even better. None of us get any length of clean time, without doing it one day at a time.
I really wish I could make you believe in yourself, but until you do, I'll just keep believing in you, okay?
Hugs and prayers!
Amy

Hey North- It does not matter if you are a sidewalk sweeper, you got a JOB!! My first job was at a McDonald's and truthfully, it was my favorite. You get to meet so many different people. You'll be great! One question though- How in the world do you pull yourself up before 5:30am in pitch black, walk to work, in pitch black and get through the day, in darkness? You are one heck of a strong woman!!
Joe- One day at a Time--- I am taking it one hour at a time. Each day sober is a gift you give yourself. Don't beat yourself up for past mistakes, just think about today. You're clean today so you're winning today!!
Love,
Jess

I agree lost--I do get worried about people when you start seeing a decline in postings. I try to look on the positive side that they are out living life again but of course the negative comes up and they relapsed but cant bring themselves to share. Please, if anyone relapses please pleas please come on here and talk about it. There is no shame in relapse and there is no judgement on this site as most all of us have been there.

AND he has a bad TOOTHACHE...
I told him "Well Chance maybe it was that 15 pounds of candy you have went through in the last week? DO YA THINK?????????????? Not alot of sympathy from me tonight...If he can't be responsible while I am at work...well I hate to think...it won't be pretty..I am done taking his disrespect...it is absolutley disgusting...and he LIES every other sentence now..He is SO SPOILED from me being so guilt ridden..
Not anymore...mama's new name is going to be PAIN around here....little satan worshipper!! ARGHHHHH..

((Joe)) Don't know you so well, but I know you been struggling. But the fact you keep on keeping on is an inspiration to people like me, who are also struggling! First 3 days always the toughest I think - altho I have never got past 17 days myself!
LOL, North. Your son is just like mine. He is always messing with the computer, locking me out of iTunes.
At the moment, he is doing high dealings on e-bay and theoretically made himself £250.00. Impressive, but we never hear the end of it! And he's always hogging my cyberspace!!
I have respect for all McDonald's employees, coz I'm not sure I wouldn't mess up horribly if I had to do that job! I've waitressed before, and people got surprise meals all the time!!

Thanks so much.
..I'm alive and on day four ...clean.
Have ya'll, ever been so pissed off that you start to be consumed with hatred for someone?
That sort of stuff is something I need to work on and try to forgive because it eats me up and makes my day horrible.
Sometimes I snap out of it and think .."what I am doing"? and then try to act in a more loving way and more understanding and that makes me feel more at peace.
Anybody else struggling in a similar way?
