Hi all, I’ve been missing in action but I’m still completely sober. The last few weeks have been the toughest yet as my current treatment can’t be continued. I’ve had a lot of serious reactions to it, and although the docs have adjusted the dose etc, it’s causing cardiac problems. There are still other options out there but I’m having my 4th chemo round on Monday then no treatment until after my CT in early July.
I’m still hopeful and adjusting to the hand I’ve been dealt. Obviously my first priority are my beautiful boys
Thanks so much to suze for keeping me on the list, and I apologise to anyone whose messages I haven’t responded to on here or on fb messenger. I’ll try touching base properly soon x
It’s after Midnight here so I better try and get some sleep

I know all too well how alcohol can come before everyone and everything that is important to me. It is hard to watch. Grateful for SR ❤️

Congrats to all our magnificent milestones today!
Have a great day, be safe.

Today is the first day of treatment for my wife. It will last 6 weeks and we really don't know how bad the side-effects will be. What we do know is that at the other end she will be cured. So we will hold on to that fact while we endure.

And finding that compassion is a huge deal- you inspire me a lot. As much as I talk about having compassion for others (especially our partners who can be quite triggering) it's my biggest challenge right now as well. The fact that you can see things from his side and from the side of the disease is really something else. Thank you for sharing that with us.

[QUOTE=Sunflowerlife;6916790]Wow, so much drama to have to deal with CF- I'm glad he's safe and home but I can only imagine the stress you felt and the mixed emotions you must be having now that he's back. It's really, truly, UTTERLY amazing that you stayed strong over the weekend and didn't drink. You really should be proud of yourself. And finding that compassion is a huge deal- you inspire me a lot. As much as I talk about having compassion for others (especially our partners who can be quite triggering) it's my biggest challenge right now as well.

[/QUOTE Trust me. I’m still angry but I also want to stay sober. Me making an attempt at the high road is completely self serving. I think all of this time out in the middle of nowhere with very slow internet has given be more time for introspection! Lol! Also, thank you for the kind words.❤️

Yes, today is day 7. (Last time for this milestone)
My daughter was a passenger in a car last night and was almost impaled by a tree limb-her boyfriend crashed the car.
After I completed my virgin (I didn’t have alcohol At a party for first time in YEARS)pizza party, I got the text to pick her up.
She’s ok.
Just I have s 35 year old daughter with brain injury who was almost killed 17 years ago. I can only have one brain injured kid per lifetime.😞
Def could have been a trigger.
I appreciate all of you and wish you a wonderful, peaceful, guilt free day😎

Thank God for sobriety that you were able to be there and clear headed.
I am so sorry to hear about your older daughter. You have certainly had more than the usual parental challenges; you are a strong woman.
