I understand her fear of calling the police on her son but it may be the only way to get real HELP.
SO...... I am going to stay out of this as much as possible and keep myself busy today.

24 more and GLAD for every MINUTE!
Hugs, Quitter

It's day 65 for me. I've been tempted again but have waited and thought about things people have said to me on here. It is helping me to go through it.

I just had a large dinner and I don't know if this happens for anyone else but once I've had something to eat to the point where I'm full I don't feel like drinking anything. So hopefully I will be OK now for the night.

There is going to be a load of booze around on Christmas Day so this will be really difficult.

24 more please.

You are a great family to have the love, support, caring and kindness that you show to each other is so uplifting.
hope you all know that you mean the world to me, with your strength i keep going.
love and hugs with my full gratitude.


Meditation for the Day


Shed peace, not discord, wherever you go. Try to be part of the cure of every situation, not part of the problem. Try to ignore evil, rather than to actively combat it. Always try to build up, never to tear down. Show others by your example that happiness comes from living the right way. The power of your example is greater than the power of what you say.

Prayer for the Day


I pray that I may try to bring something good into every situation today. I pray that I may be constructive in the way I think and speak and act today.



24 more this lonely alcoholic, but grateful alcoholic.

Good morning. Del- how are you? Neoo- just don't let the b...s grind you down. Hello B, SW, G, Martin.
K- why don't taxi drivers decorate their pine scent trees? Yuko- love the avatar, BTW. Perhaps that is what Gilmer's is thinking.
Stay safe and sober all. Peaceful and happy days to you all.

I was going to the beach but its currently stormy.
Count me in for another sober day.(24)

Let's all get through this festive period unscathed by dumb and rotten booze.
