Kiki, you win the prize!! It took me a little while to get my bearings and realize what week it was. It's all good though. Nothing a good laugh sometimes. Good luck on your next steps!!

I still want to hate myself when I cave and drink but I don't. Does that mean I'm not there yet? I've asked the same question before but I still don't know and I can't wrap my puny mind around it. Sobriety is my goal but it seems I'm lacking in the proper resolve. I feel foolish and stupid, but I'm not giving up.

Ooooh do I hate addiction. Why me? Why us? I don't want this anymore. I don't want the struggle. I'm so tired of fighting it.
Hang in there Jemma. I just wanted you to know I'm thinking about you. (((Hug))) xo

Hi PR, I hope you're doing well and your day got better today! :-)

Hi guys. I'm still here. Been through a bit of a rough patch. Have been drinking occasionally after finding some texts my husband had sent to a female co-worker of his. We're working through it but it's been tough...trust is a difficult thing once it's lost. :-(

Thanks Caramel. It's just awful. I have used it as an excuse to have a drink. Which makes matters worse.

I'm sorry for what you're going through, but I'm glad you're back Mish. Drinking's never an answer.

You're spot on there D. Drinking is definately never the answer. It makes everything much much worse. x

Sending huge hugs, Mish! I was in a similar situation a long time ago.....unfortunately I can't think of any advice because I drank to cope as well! The only thing it helped was to make things worse in the long run. I feel your pain, though...UUGH!

Just wanted to check in to class early before getting ready for work....I made it through another sober weekend, thanks to all of you! Hoping to have a smooth workday, hoping to make it back to the gym afterwards, and hoping you are all doing okay! Lots of hope!

P47, well done on soberwend. Hope is great- get a small piece of sanity and want a good life. That is what hope is, finding, keeping and continuing to have a good life. Still finding, but the marks on the trail tell me it is not far off. Happy trails everyone!
P.

Mish - I'm happy to see you!! That is a really crappy situation and I'm sorry you're going through it. You're right about trust - it's a finicky thing....take care of yourself and do what's best for you. Sending you love and prayers.

Hi everyone. Day 29 of this go.

Hi Mish - thinking of you!!! Glad to see you but not in those circumstances. Lean on us!

Got through yesterday's annoying single parenting day and night. It's so much harder than it should be because of the two "older" bickering constantly.

Bring on today! :P
