Hi all checking in from the phone again. Nands what's the history with your brother, or should I already know that? I completely shut down when my mom is drinking which thankfully hasn't happened in a couple of years.

Pixy and ally, where are you guys at now? I looked at the calendar and I am @ day 7 today!

Ok, better get working before boss notices me typing on my phone. Later everyone, hugs!!!

Ananda

John has been to treatment a dozen times and detoxed dozens of more times.

Mom just called he is sober today....

Pixy1

Aww nands it's hard.

He has to find his own way. All you can do is be there (hug)

I'm really down tonight.

I'm fed up being a moody *****! I really can't help it. It's almost worse than when I'm drinking.

But I wont be beaten and will keep going.

Ananda

Pix...try real hard to remember that the difference is the btch we become when we drink goes on and on and never really gets settled....sure we get btchy when we are sober and sometimes it lasts quite some time...but if we stay sober, over time it fades and then we don't ever have to be btches again



OK thats a lie then we don't have to be btches all that often or for very long

Dee74

might be PAWS Pix
just mind and body repairing itself - we all drank for years - can't fix that in a fortnight

and it's not almost worse than when you were drinking!! LOL

Pixy1

Lol I know but it just feels that way sometimes Dee.

I still wake up aching in the morning, how long will it be before that passes?

I have to go to work now

allport

Some of us in chat have decided to blame everything on PAWS

It is the best excuse ever, it doesn't work for drinking though

Dee74

lol Ally

Well I always wake up aching in the morning Pix so I'm not a good one to ask
I hope it passes soon anyway

D

Pixy1

Dee do you ever have massage for your aches? It would do you the world of good!

Reiki would also be very good

Dee74

yeah I get massages - no reiki tho

Ananda

how are the cravings and the crankies going this evening pix????

things are mad at work, but i'm just floating along happily at the moment...till i crash

got the new girl hired...she will not start for 2 weeks but will ssee if her current boss will trade us 4 days now for 4 days later...get some bills paid

Pixy1

Just the same nands but trying to focus on other things in life now, like my ******! weight!!

colagirl

Tell me about it Pix, I'm so fat right now. Sickening. Still sober though!

Did you ever ask Wonky about the email thing?

What's up everybody??

Ananda

well...since you asked...moms pissed, brother is pissed, sisterinlaw is a total nutbag...

I get this message form sil.....call me right away it's an emergency...crap there she is again

Dee74

(((Nands)))

Ananda

she just has to stir the pot....drives me crazy...

I mean john gets drunk...he sulks..he is a mess.....

so she starts trying to manage him..how to get him sober..he gets worse...she gets worse...

When john decides to stop, she comes back...freaks out at him somemore and gets the whole thing going again.

she doesn't get that she can't get him or keep him sober...i mean the whole deal to me is...alchoholics sometimes end up drinking...sometimes they drink themselves to death........If you're gonna stay you just gotta accept that it is thier choice...do what you need to to feel ok with yourself and the situation....if you cant do that then you need to get the fk out.....simple...

I have put some alchoholics out of my life because their behavior is not something i am willing to tolerate as part of my life. Other alchoholics i love dearly and i simply enjoy the time we have together and do what i need to do to be ok with me when they are wondering hoplessly on thier own path...it's not my job to fix them or to tolerate intolorable behavior...

She just trys to get everyone going 50 ways at once to try and save her or him or whoever....its like she thrives on the attention .... I hate it!

I see no point in trying to control an alchoholic, I don't feel the need to coddle them (well not much or often..sometimes that one i don't do so well at), but ranting and raving is just pointless....

OK..sorry...i really needed to get that out and i know that you guys are my friends and i want you to know what is going on (hug) I care a bunch about all of you (hug)

Ananda

I always liked Rambling Jack Elliot's version the best, never cared for Dillon's...but this one might just give Jack a running

YouTube - Don't Think Twice, It's All Right

good morning

Dee74

We've been through this before Nands LOL
but the Ramblin Jack has grown on me

this version is great too! Reminds me of Waylon Jennings or Johnny cash

needs more guitar tho
YouTube - Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed-dont think twice its alright
