Congrats Mel!!! 3 years and going strong! I am super proud and inspired by you!!!
Quickly saying hello to everyone from sri lanka before my slight connection fades. Have had almost no internet for the past month, but with you in thoughts! All is well here.

Happy Belated Birthday Venus!!!!
I finally got wifi stable enough to catch up on posts. And yes, I remember reading your posts 3 years ago in the Feb thread and thinking 'wow, that Venus is super kind' followed by 'gosh, I should stop lurking and take that scary step to post and introduce myself.' I would not have had the confidence otherwise.
Sorry to hear that you had a rough interaction Mel. I am glad you are moving through it instead of allowing it to keep you low. RE: hubby - Is there anything bothering him that is causing him to drink more (stress, etc?)
Fantail - how is your recovery doing?
Wifi is going wonky again, so I'll try to update about me in my next post.
Till then, BIG HUG!!!!

It's going well 
My 3 year quit date is also the anniversary of my ex's suicide, so I had a bittersweet week. But I got through it, with a lot of help from folks on here.
I have a very exciting opportunity happening tomorrow that I don't even want to jinx by saying what it is, but keep me in your thoughts!!

Serene love ~ 
Really...that means a great deal to me.
How is your poor foot? Hopefully finally healing?
Can't wait till you are actually home and can post more; I know we all want to hear more about your travels.
Oh fantail, I'm so sorry you went through that.
Re tomorrow ~ GOOD LUCK!!

Hey serene- good to hear from you! I think the holidays got him in the habit of drinking at home again- he slowly moved into buying six packs on hi way home. I told him it was triggering me and he apologized and stopped right away. I always try to be laid back and not that nagging wife so I held back from speaking my truth, but it felt really healthy to express what I needed and to be heard.
I've been thinking about you and your food struggles lately. I gained a ton of weight while pregnant and am having the hardest time getting rid of it. I use food like I used to use alcohol- to reward myself for a tough day. When I was pregnant waitressing 8 hours on my feet everyday was a tough day- and now with taking care of a baby I unwind with cooking and a good meal. I calorie restricted and weighted all my food for a month and lost some of it, but I find that process takes my joy away from cooking. Trying to find my balance and just letting you know you're not alone
Sorry for your loss fantail must be a tough bittersweet day for you
V- you also stuck out to me when first reading these boards. You're a very magnetic person- definitely a gift.
All for now, xo M

Seriously...thank you. It is a wonderful thing to have people I care for so deeply see me, and know who I am. I stole so much from myself in all of my years of addiction; it is awesome that I am still me. If that makes sense.
A big weight battle here right now as well. I now know what emotional eating is. It took me months to figure it out though, so I have a lot of weigh to lose.
I'm so glad your husband heard you mel, and that you have such a good relationship.
Please give Clark a big kiss for me. ♥

Awwwww! Thank you lovely Venus!! You are so very cool.
Three years is pretty awesome. Had a somewhat crappy day. My longer commute was really stressful today, the freeway was a mess and my alternate route was a disaster so I was late for work. That's bad on program days. But it was a good program, and the group had fun.
I still feel really rough, but nothing can take the shine off of a soberversary.

My doc was off yesterday, so the doc handling her patients prescribed me antibiotics (not convinced I need) and not the inhaler. She doesn't know me, I don't blame her. But I think the brochitis made me athsmatic, it does sometimes.
So this morning I asked my doc, and she called in the other inhaler immediately. If this doesn't work I have to go see her and get a steroid shot. I don't want to jinx it, but I think the new inhaler is working!
Fingers crossed, I might sleep tonight.
