Where are you from?
 
Hello
Haven't been here in ages but at the mo I'm needing all the support I can get, so I'm all over recovery sites!

I see lots of names I don't recognise and I'd love to hear a bit about you.

I'm in Ireland, married 3 years to a recovering A with 13 years sobriety.
More to come!

I'm in Minneapolis, MN, engaged to an A who says he's quitting after new year's.

Hi Alltoosober

Nice to meet you :)

Is your fiance in AA or any other program? My hubby went to a world AA convention in Minneapolis and loved the town

Nope, he's not in any program right now. He said that if he doesn't quit by new year's he'll go into rehab, but I'm not holding my breath. At this point I doubt quite seriously that I'll actually marry him... his decision to quit is based too much on my pushing and not enough of his own desire to be sober.

I live in Phoenix, Arizona. I'm a single father of two beautiful children, and my soulmate in sobriety is a single female with a lovely daughter. We've both got just under two years in the program.

I used to love drinking Irish beer, and my first wife was a redheaded wee lass!;-)

Proud to be an official "hon" from Bawlmer, Murland. For those of you who speak regular English, that is "Baltimore, Maryland." Born in Washington, D.C. Lived halfway between both cites in Annapolis, Maryland for 20 years (home of the U.S. Naval Academy and state capital of MD).

Have been incarcerated in Yuma, Arizona for the past 18 months. Area 51 is NOT in New Mexico. The pod landed here ...

Proud mom of two purebred Cornish Rex cats. Husband No. 1 and No. 2 both A's. Still with No. 2 and wondering why ....

Know what you mean, Embraced. Gotta keep our sense of humor. Most of the time I can still find SOMETHING to laugh about even when things really suck. Still .... there is nothing funny about living in this hick town - ugh.

AllTooSober 12-01-2006 01:11 PM

I've been through Yuma and don't blame you one bit!

IrshIzNotSmilin 12-01-2006 02:43 PM

Prodigal, Stepson in Annapolis not at Naval he's a Jonnie. Hey, been in your neck of the woods lately. Nize Plaze. Irsh Yuma? Funny stepson may go to Santa Fe nearby?

Hi everybody! I am here in snowy Anchorage, AK. Been married to AH for four years, but haven't lived with him for a year now. I have a beautiful 2-year old baby girl--just love that little human being and can't seem to stop nibbling on her body parts. Just sitting here at work, dreaming of Hawaiian beaches and hot sand, but need to go and find us a Christmas tree. Hope everyone is enjoying Friday!

dayxday 12-01-2006 03:47 PM

Hi - I'm from the great Pacific Northwest, married to my AH but currently legally separated and working on saving my marriage. AH just got out of treatment so we have a long ways to go. You will surely be hearing more from me!!

I'm a forty-ish (give or take an ish) mother of 2 with 1 grandbaby and one due right after the 1st of the year.

I have been an alanon member for 2 months and am new to this site.

I am so thankful to have found this site, I have found so much comfort in reading posts and receiving answers to my posts.

As long as I have all of you - I know I don't have to go through this alone.

lilac 12-01-2006 06:32 PM

Hi ! I'm from Lexington, KY. My husband is an alcoholic. I moved into an apartment away from him about 6 weeks ago. My mother died in August, and being the oldest of three girls I have become the "mother figure" to my siblings. So, I feel totally zapped most of the time. I am 34 years old and the proud "mother" to two of the most precious cats in this world. They are my little angels from God.

Janitw 12-01-2006 07:12 PM

Hi I'm Janit and I live in Southern Ohio a small town called Hillsboro. I was married to my XAH for 22 years and he divorced me for his alcoholic/meth hooch. We have 3 kids all grown. One still here at home with me. Thank God.

sunwish 12-01-2006 07:45 PM

Hi....I live near Boston MA. I have been married 13 years. We have 2 children 12 & 6. AH drinks and admits he has a problem.....and keeps drinking. I have told him early 2007 he will have to leave. It will be difficult for all of us but I have to take care of myself and my children.
