And another CONGRATULATIONS, Beth! Everyday is a new record for you.
I have a had a really miserable cold with a wicked bad sore throat the past week. I thought I would somehow be immune to bad colds once I was sober and healthy but sadly NO, that's not true. I did have some moments of wishing for a hot toddy with bourbon, brandy or whatever to kill the pain. But no way I am going back to the past. The thought of having another Day One always stops the wishful thinking.

((Lyddie)) - I hope you feel better soon! Hopefully you'll be immune for the rest of the season after this. Oh and about the craving.... I was talking to my friend the other day and I made an analogy between drinking and the flu. I said drinking was like offering me a cup of the yummy FLU Virus. It made me so sick I would throw up, get the sweats, exhausted, and feel just completely miserable! Oh and the cure for that flu virus of course was more flu in a glass! I cannot believe how many times I choose to be sick over the last 30 years! It's crazy when you think about it.
Take care of yourself Princess Lyddie

Hey Guys I hope everyone is well. I took DD trick or treating for the first time at the Boo-levard on Friday. She had a blast and everyone stopped to comment on her costume. She was so well behaved I was one proud mama.
She has a party at school tomorrow and I signed up to make banana bread. I have to get on that today!
Looks like we will be moving back to Atl sooner than later. It makes me sad because we were just starting to sprinkle the seeds here. I had my mom go look at a house I found on internet. It is amazing and close to my mom. We will see. Her dad informed me that he wants to date one day and can't do it with us living in the same house. I cannot afford a decent place here on my own (he knows this) and I don't have enough reason to stay. Her dad has no problem with us leaving. So sad for DD but I figure we should leave before he finds someone and totally blows her off. He has so much anger, I cannot bare to be around his negativity. He will always be welcomed in my home to see DD anytime. Oh well God has a plan.
Take care everyone

Beth - Are you strong enough in your sobriety to move back? I was hoping you would have more time here to "settle in yourself" before moving. Since your ex is being so difficult than it would probably be better if you go sooner rather than later. Will you be home for Christmas?
HFA - Hope all is ok with you. Please check in if you can.

Thanks guys.
Yes Lyddie, I am fine to move back. I will not drink again, anywhere. I think it is time.
Thanks for asking.
Rough weekend. I am exhausted. I still do not think about drinking my problems away.
HFA- Please check in.
Day something... LOL... I usually look at last post but it is on the other page. Still sober!
Night.

Hey AW- I made about 50 banana nut bread muffins, 60-oatmeal walnut raisin cookies, and 50-rasberry almond shortbread thumbprints! I had also just made 4 banana breads for her halloween party Monday. I never want to see a banana as long as I live! LOL. How are you?

Sorry to be away for so long. What you feared was true. I drank. A lot. For two weeks strait. It was horrible. Called off sick for two days strait. Made excuses to not be with my kids and GF to drink. I knew when I decided, yes decided, to take that first drink that it was balls to the wall full out drink fest.
The first time I got on this site and took my desire to drink seriously, I stopped for 15+ months. I kept fooling myself and saying that it couldnt have been that bad. Boy was I wrong. Heartburn (as well as the other end too), acid re-flux, gained 7lbs, apartment is utterly destroyed. Paranoid that someone would ask me how is the sobriety going, or my GF would notice. I hated it, a lot.
Now I have been sober for 1 week. I just couldnt come back and face this place until I had a little time between me and the beer. I think now I know this is much better.
Hope you guys will still let me post in the June board, even though my new date is Oct 31?
