Found out today that I might have an advantage on quitting that I didn't know about. I know I told you about my feet, last week they put me on a new medication to help with the nerve damage in my feet and that medicine is also prescribed to people who is giving up alcohol to kill the cravings. I hope it helps I need every bit of help I can get. Although the side effects is about 2 pages long.
Sure is quiet in here I hope everybody is ok

81 is also 80 more than 1! Congratulations, Bobbieka! My avatar is starting to get a little scared.
And it's also the number of screaming children next door to me right now. Actually that might be closer to 166, I think.

Casey the horrible sleep output on screen gives me something to show my husband and looks dramatic and then he feels bad for me and is more likely to help out in other ways.
I use the Fitbit to count my steps - the sleep tracker is just another feature that every once in awhile I look at.
I'll try to stop complaining about my sleep and lack there-of, guys. It's one of my biggest triggers, though. And probably good birth control for others.
Ha.

I had a nice healthy (?) tuna wrap for dinner last night then proceeded to have a bowl of peanut butter swirl, AND a coconut Popsicle. If you like coconut and haven't had a coconut Popsicle, run and find them. Yummmm!

Supposed to go on a cruise in December but I'm not excited about it. I think it will be very difficult. I actually got to four months one time but went on a cruise and I fell down the hole. Dee and the whole class told me that I shouldn't go but I didn't listen.

That sounds good Kayak!
Thanks for asking Bobbie! My little one is doing great he is 16 months old tomorrow and is so much fun. Saying new words all the time and so funny. We watch a lot of Curious George here too, Peaceful Rain.
Thanks Kik, I've missed you all too.
I know what you mean clearlyheaded. I'm on day 5 and already feel so much better. This is when we need to be very careful too because the cravings are still there and the bad memories of drinking start to fade. At least for me.
I have a surprise retirement party to go to in a few hours for my dear uncle. It is at a restaurant/bar, in a rented banquet room. There will be lots of drinking. I am on high alert because I am exhausted from my work week so I already have the T. However, I've eaten a lot, I am not angry, nor am I lonely, so I will go and participate in the surprise, say hi to everyone, eat a bit, and leave. Plus I will have my baby with me and be surrounded by people I am "not allowed" to drink in front of! So I am safe. I guess I'm just slightly annoyed that I should go to this when I really want to stay home and relax and go to bed! Haha
If I don't go, people think I'm holed up myself drinking! (Which sadly has been the case too many times)
Anyway I'm babbling, and my ex is at the door with my son so I must go.
Have a great sober night all!

I missed my kids growing up I was traveling all over the country building mills for ConAgra and sometimes gone a month at a time. One of the biggest regrets I've ever had, spend all the time you can with them when they're small.
