Not really babes - son's bday and not seen him for 5 years thanks to my ex. The kids and I spent 9 years running from one womens aid refuge to another due to his abuse of me and the kids. 5 years ago he tracked us down and turned them against me! I am Skye the invincible though - I dish out advice and hurt inside as I'm a private person. It's all good though - got guitar out and Eric Clapton on you tube - i'll survive and thanks SO much for caring Xx

It is not the falling that matters- it's the getting back up!

As long as you can find the wagon tomorrow, you'll be fine.

I'm sorry for your pain Skye - but I know you'll learn from this and carry on.

It happens! I wish I could say I had ever gone long enough to fall off, can't fall off when you were barely crawling back in.

Just remember how good it feels when you succeed next time you get the urge.

I am sorry to hear about the pain that you are suffering. Tomorrow you will be that strong, sober woman again. Take care of yourself and be safe until then.

I am sorry. I know that in all my heart I have never been more honest or sincere, but that does not speak for others. I was so lost, but I though I found SR to help me see that I have the strength within myself. I found that you did help me with your words in posts, at least glad you offered that to me.
I hope you the best.

I'm sorry Skye, I don't know what's happened in the past here on SR from your comment, but I do sincerely hope that you will be okay. This from someone who doesn't know you but still cares x

Alright. I have to say something that I hope will be helpful. I don't know you but I did read a couple pretty obvious under-the-influence posts by you recently. And one in particular really has been on my mind all day. Because I found it very disturbing. If people aren't responding to you today it's probably just that seeing the insanity of someone who is obvious respected on here - the insanity of your disease - not that you are insane is SCARY. Just give yourself a break and your friends on here one as well. Because I saw a lot of support on that thread. A lot. Don't throw out the baby with the bath water. You need the support and others need yours.

It's because we can relate that it's so scary and disturbing. And I can also relate to the major over reacting at times.

This is me when I screw up Maybe you can relate?

People here care a lot Skye. I know you rescue animals like me. You know when they are hurting how they tend to lash out even when someone is trying to help? Being here has been invaluable to my sobriety because of members like you. I hope you can take a breather and come back when you feel less upset.

I'm sorry for whatever problems you've having at the moment Skye.

I think the first step needs to be to get sober again, get whatever else is going on into perspective and and then work out a definite recovery plan and stick to it?.

Skye, you got me on the post above, I couldn’t even imagine how hard it must be not seeing your children, especially on one of their birthdays! It has to be heartbreaking. Just know that children can only be blindsided for so long and eventually they will seek the truth. When they do come looking for you Skye, what is it you want them to find? Surely you wouldn’t want them to see you intoxicated. No, that is not the future you want to build for you or your kids. Stay strong Skye, build yourself back up and when the time comes, be the person you want your children to know you as. Lies can only live until the truth is discovered.

Hey Skye, I hope you find solace in what is a painful time. Thank you for being here and sharing your tales of the kitten. I remember your posts when you first posted about the kitten in and the thread made me smile on, what was here, an otherwise dreary day. That is a gift.
