I love smiling at people in the street, they smile back and then have this puzzled look of ' sorry, I hope you don't speak to me because I really can't remember where I know you from!' It's sad to think most people only smile at those they know! Keep smiling Babs!

HI !
Hubby and I went over to MIL towards eve yesterday and she just isn't the same. Poor gal has bathroom problems and just doesn't feel her spunky self. I'm going over again today and will see how or what I can do to help her.
Anyway---doing good. I'm just thankful for my health and the fact that I'm sober during all this. Have a great day everyone !
It does make me sad that Hubby had to mix a drink the minute we got home. It makes me crabby but, I know better than to start something. Anyway---Have a good day people. Hugs.

Babs, I'm so happy you are doing so well. I'm sorry your H's drinking is challenging for you. The times I tried to quit when I was married were really hard because my h would keep drinking. Sending strength and good thoughts to you as you deal with these challenges in your life. You sound strong.

Happy birthday, Dee and have a good break!
Isn't it amazing how this group has transformed from a rowdy, rule-defying bunch to polite and supportive adults. Dee, I think you had something to do with that

Have a great time at the wedding, Toots!
Babs, I'm sorry about your mil - you are handling the situation with a lot of grace.
Challenging few days with the ex but I'm seeing light at the end of the tunnel. I'm starting to feel "normal" again. I've had times of joy mixed in with the sadness and depression over the past few months but I haven't felt at all "normal." It's funny how it happens - one day you notice that you're not about to burst into tears over the tiniest things, that you don't feel "odd" when people talk about their spouses, and I've lost that feeling that my relationship with my boys is going to be changed forever. I'm settling into my new normal.
The ex was pretty horrendous the past few days and that's always hard for me but I'm learning to ignore him. It's hard not to respond when someone's telling you something that is just so inaccurate and tears at your character. But over time even that's gotten easier and I'm learning to laugh at it.
I'm proud of myself for pushing through the pain and all of the emotions to get to this point. I'm also glad we chose this time to split because I cringe at the thought of having done this while burying all of those feelings with alcohol.
I hope everyone is having a great day!
