It won't help a thing Dee and I know it but the drunk in me still tries to grab every excuse it can. I'm not drinking now just trying to support my mother with all the love I can. Her house has a fully stocked bar and to get to the room I'm staying in I have to walk through it every day very tempting.

I'm sorry about your slip, Fixy, but so glad you're back here posting. You'll be much more of a support to your mum sober. Close your eyes as you pass the bar, but open your memories of where one drink can lead . . .

You can do this, my friend, and we are all here to support you

HeadLump

Hope everyone is doing well. Hope your mum's doing better, Fixy, and so are you

I'm 2 years sober today so I'm dancing round the room - yay!!

I wish you the best, MrFixit. It sounds like you're dealing with an incredibly trying time. I can't even imagine it. I very much hope for great health for you and your mother.

Congratulations, HeadLump! You're a rockstar.

Congrats on 2 years Headlump

Fixy - try thinking of it like I did - those bottles are just inanimate objects filled with an inert liquid...a liquid that's toxic to us and all who love us.

Take a stand and don't listen to the damn voice anymore, Fixy

All!

I've been MIA a bit dealing with two problems. The first being the flu to end all flus! Ugh! I forgot just how truly miserable the flu can be and can easily understand how the elderly or sickly can actually die from it. I did get a flu shot, but I guess the strain mutated this year so it's only about 23% effective. I think at one point my hair even hurt! Miserable!

Second problem being this little bit of snow we've had here A nice three feet from the blizzard and more to come over the next few days. Thankful for some very kind neighbors that did the walkway and behind my car. The sidewalks however - I probably won't see the pavement on those until Spring! When I was younger I didn't mind the snow so much, and I was pretty good at driving in it. Now it gets my anxiety going something fierce.

First - let me just say congrats on 2 years HL!!! I'm sorry I missed that - I would have been dancing right with you Admittedly it would not have been cute however....I don't have a stitch of rhythm in my body, it's sad really haha. But I still would have at least done the Charlie Brown dance for you! (Not sure if you even know what that is)

Sorry to hear about your mom MrF. I know times like these are some of the toughest, but as you said drinking will not help it one bit. But I do understand that's right where our minds go to. I wish the best for her as well as yourself.

Petals, I hope you're doing well. And I hope your fur baby is a little less stressed as well

Steve, how goes the battle? Dee, hope all is well in the land down under.

Kahlia, I admit you made me chuckle with the Chief Wiggum comment. What an image I have in my head now haha! I do hope you are taking care of yourself as priority #1 right now though.

Hi guys. How's things?
I'm still poorly but more importantly I'm still sober.
Had a few moments but got through them. Wondering whose still here?

Hello all

Hope everyone is doing well. Kudos to you, petals, for sailing through those moments. I'm so proud of you

Eyes, I hope your flu has finally gone and that your (little bit ) of snow has melted

I've been struggling again with food which is why I've been quiet. I think it's because I've been feeling ill again - can't seem to shake this chest infection and sinusitis very easily (though, of course, if my nutrition was better I might stand a fighting chance ) I'm back on it again from today.

Steve, I'm sure you're doing okay. Major respect to you, my friend

Fixy and Kahlia - thinking of you and missing you both very much

Still here petals

Hi everyone. Hope you are having a good weekend. I'm starting to feel physically better and emotionally stronger. We had a beautiful walk in the forest today. The weather has been just perfect for walking.

Hope my Julyers are doing well xxx
