Have a good chin wag chaps. I'm off as I keep getting the error message, and have things to do.
Very annoying.

Ro, before I forget, have a great time at your daughter's graduation. You should be so proud of yourself and her. I know I am proud of you. You are a good mom and don't forget that. Be kind to yourself, I would tell you to take pictures for us, but I don't know how you feel about pics of daughter on line. I am anal about it.

this is just amazing!! I cant keep up......

Believe and in the dailys yipee!!!!!

I got some gardening done but there just isnt enough hours in my days since sobriety!!

And I used to think ......what will I do if I can't drink??????

Do you want to know what I am thinking about - but keep pushing it away?

My estranged daughter will be there tonight at her sister's grad. I know she won't sit with me (she'll be with her dad) - and I'll bet she won't even look at or acknowledge me. My sister will be with me though, and three nieces, and my close gf (who is also in AA) - so I'll have plenty of support.

But still.
Rowan my parents and I have had no contact for years. My son celebrated a special occasion last year...I .... (trying to be all sober and all that lol ) asked him would he like to invite them......he said yes...

I think I know how you feel.... and I also know that knot in your stomach. My mother had wronged me greatly when I was almost 2 years sober and I had to set boundaries, My dad stood by her for peace sake. She admitted to a few people she was wrong but never to me. Pride is a dreadful thing. She came to my sons party and sat in a corner. It was difficult for me. My son was polite but saw for himself what I could never have explained. You would think after ten or eleven years in sobriety we should be living happily ever after but I have discovered life is still life and sometimes its unfair. I also wonder would I have stayed sober if things had been different, probably not. My HP knows what he is doing. I pray every day for peace in my family but I can only change.....me!! I have gained a lot of peace and happiness in my sobriety and yes sometimes I have bad days but I used to have a lot of bad years!!

THinking of ya tonight and saying a little prayer...

I LOVE this thread!!

Back from meeting, was good. I shared again, basically I share every meeting now so I will stop saying I shared again. Still tired and sleep deprived but feeling OK.
:ghug

Have fun at the graduation Ro.

Good for you for the meeting Stoney...glad you shared.

I'd like to ask peeps to send some thoughts and prayers out to my mom about now.

Her bp is dropping and if it doesn't come up I'll have to send for the nurse.

Thanks..everyone. I just get scared bcause I don't have medical training, you know.

Thanks babes. So much.

She's sleeping now. And seems better...I know high is so much worse than low.

I am going to catch a tiny nap too.

I have to get back on later...I miss being here...

Hi IO, hope your mom's bp gets stable. I have high bp and take meds for it. Prayers going out for both of you.

Stoney, glad you enjoyed the meeting. I know you must be tired, because I am. Plus I am sweating, have ceiling fans on but I think I need the air. Trying to hold off putting it on, money wise. Just cooked dinner and no ones home. Daughter playing soccer tonight and my son went out with The Girlfriend again. Yes she is here again. Just left Sunday and back today. wah!!!!

(((((io's mammy)))))

my son is moving out soon we just had a wee talk that usually starts like this...."ma can we have a chat about something"!!............its a natural course of events and its good, I don't want him to be a mammy's boy. He is also getting his first car.Do you ever stop worrying about them though.
When he was small and around the time for me to go back to work the district nurse once said to me "I think you would like to tuck him under your arm and take him with you".......I think I feel a bit like that again....
Oh its all changing AGAIN!!! Just when I had everything in boxes!! Thank god for sobreity. LET GO LET GOD and all that jazz
