Silver, he is not your fav player, he is mine. LOL! I just got back from the Miami game......I actually met Robert Kraft.......sat right behind the Patriots bench! I got some great pics of Brady and Belichick. Did you see part I of that two-part special on him?
Yeah that's what I mean Stu........we have to have that deep down resolve......otherwise it goes out the window.........keep doing what you're doing!
And VC - I think the resolve you speak of, for me, is simply MY OWN resolve. I ain't doing this for no one else but me. And to be honest, any other way, I don't think would work (for me anyway).

Hey, everybody. Crawling back from the dead. 
Thanks for the soup and good wishes! Starting to feel a little better after a 3-hour nap. Everything tastes like that vile orange cough/cold syrup, so no wine urges today, for sure. Felt a little lightheaded earlier and managed to slip and fall down the stairs, yikes! No real harm, just a bruised butt cheek and sore elbow. Suppose I won't be sitting down too much at work tomorrow, hee hee!
Stu, I hope all turns out well at home. As you point out, at least there is no active drinking to aggravate issues further. (((Hugs))) to you.

Mr. Silver!!! 11 weeks. Today is 8 weeks for me.
Thanks for the well wishes everyone. Things will get better one way or another.
On another note . . . after 8 weeks, I still feel quite tired in the evening. It's a good, I've-had-a-full-day-tired so not bad, but I would have thought that I would have had more evening energy. I fall asleep really, really well - or maybe it's just a matter of actually falling asleep instead of passing out (?). I think the falling asleep bit is not so typical - and I'm not complaining). Just wondering if anyone else has experienced something like this at this stage.
Anyway - I hope everyone's doing well for this fine Tuesday. It's a bit overcast and chilly with some sprinkles here in CT.
Be well, be strong, be sober!

I think much closer to the truth is once the drinking was done (and the drinking became THE issue underlying everything) that other issues would arise. She has her own set of issues to deal with , and I think these are beginning to manifest themselves more and more. Without the drinking to mask over everything, all the other junk is basically exposed. .

Hi Symmetry . . . no, not living in the past. Respecting it. Learning from it. Not living it. Just nice to have the beer goggles off and be able to see the whole picture. It sounds like you are in a really good place and good to hear from folks that have been down this path with a spouse. Thanks!

Morning Julians.
Yeah Stu, I have felt pretty tired as of late. The 'head nodding while sitting' tired! It's weird. I think I need to implement some kind of exercise routine before the tired side kicks in.........
Beautiful Montana morning today! I hope you all have a good one.
Elvis, where are you??
How are you feeling today Cy?

Hey one and all. I'm still alive and sober WOOOOOO.
Found out today that my redundancy settlement in work will be considerably more than I thought it would be.
Which means I can life without a job for quite a few months

I forgot to say that I've been having a barrage of 'booze' dreams recently. 2 last night in fact. Both were extremely negative and frightening.
No desire there
Just had this dream that I desperately wanted to get back home from the mainland on the ferry but couldn't as the deck of the boat was artificially refrigerated by the captain to help transport a lost (and worried) fleet of penguins back home to Reykjavik.

Penguin
"To see a penguin in your dream signifies that your problems are not as serious as you may think. It serves as a reminder for you to keep your cool and remain level-headed. Alternatively, seeing a penguin in your dream suggests that you are being weighed down by your emotions or by a negative situation. You need to find some balance and inner harmony."
Should say I got this from a dream interpretation website. I just googled those two words and picked the top one.

Nice interpretation MMS!
I do like penguins Dee. If I could I'd adopt one but it'd be cruel to keep it in the ice box.
I was bored today and called the pet shop asking if they had any red squirrels in stock. He said no and sounded angry. I then asked him if he had any grey squirrels and some of that new squirrel body paint that Jolleys stock.
He asked for my number and told me that he'd ask his supervisor and get back to me.
I had to hang up or face dying of laughter.

Dee no offense taken. I love penguins too. I just never heard of any one dreaming about them so had to look that one up. Leave it to Elvis. I'm probably going to dream about red squirrels tonight now. Who needs alcohol with this kind of entertainment?
Cypress I'll work on that lotto thing :-) Me first though ok? :-)
