Jane- I went to Front Range Community College for a semester, then to CU Boulder for a semester and finally to CU Denver, where I graduated from. I worked at Lodo's (bar across from Coor's Field) almost the whole time I was in college. That's where I learned how to be a professional drunk! Where did you go?

Well, my super sober mamas, I am hitting the sack early tonight. Catch you all in the a.m.

Lots of love and peace to all...

OCD, and anxiety.....am supposed to take my seizure meds but considering they run about 300.00 a month, Im off those...... anyhoo, I know Im gonna mess up, I can feel it and Im scared.......so I start lookin into checkin myself in.....checking financial help......btw....my credit is FK'D!!!! So any place that sounds good is completely out...so I find this place locally.......been tryin for 2 hours, its busy!!!!! I cant get through!!!!!! Hubby is here, he came over to watch the football game with the youngist(who happens to be having a VERY hard time with the split)........ I just dont know what to do. Guess I will go to bed and try again tomorrow......If it wasnt so against my beliefs ( no Im not catholic) suicide would I probly consider it LOL

liss, woke up this morning and read your post. my thoughts are with your and i am hoping that when you awake this morning things are (or at least seem) more managable. if not, do whatever you need to do from taking a long hot shower or walk to driving to that place thats local if you can't get them on the phone!! we all need a break sometimes, and i think you are brave to know your feelings and recognize trouble coming... how many times have we all just ignored the signs.
stay stong liss!! we are all here for you.

Liss, ditto what Curly said. Sending big hugs your way!

Well, Mommas, today's the day. My baby will be landing in 7 hours!!! I need to keep busy so the time passes quickly. I also get to meet the new boyfriend tonight. I know she has to be relieved that she'll be introducing him to a Mom that won't be sh*tfaced and slurring her words!

Probably won't be around too much the next week. Have a lot to do and little time to do it. So I will wish you all a very Merry Christmas! You guys are such a wonderful gift!! Stay strong and sober and know that you're loved!

I keep seeing Ayla logged in, but haven't seen her post....

4, I went to CSU--graduated 16 (GASP!) years ago. (Holy cr*p, am I that old?)

Ruby, you have a great time with your daughter! It's wonderful that you're sober this Christmas

Aw, Curly--what a cute little guy in your avatar!

(((Liss))) There's so much pressure for you right now. As everyone else said, you've gotta take care of you--and I'm glad you're working on that. I will pray that you get hold of that place today. Please know I'm thinking of you today.

((Liss))-How are you doing this morning? Can you call your family doc, or maybe the local mental health dept.? Please keep trying to get an appt. to talk with someone...if all else fails, go to the ER and they can get a social worker in there for you. We are all here for you so please reach out to us!! We love you!!

((Ruby))...THE DAY IS FINALLY HERE!!! I know you've been counting down!! I'm so excited for you! I know your daughter will be so proud of her sober mom!! Isn't it such a great feeling!! We know you'll be busy with your family for the next couple weeks, but check in and let us know how everyone is!! Especially the new boyfriend!!

Hope everyone else is having a good tuesday...I can't believe we only have 6 days till Christmas!! I'll try to pop in and out....not feeling to great, don't know if its morning sickness or w/d's from my sub taper...just nausea, headache, tired. But I'm glad to see everyone else is doing ok!! Just hope I can feel a little better by next monday!!

((Ayla)) where are you? We miss you!!

((Tam, C'est, Scoot, Liss, Ruby, Curly, 4, Misti, Alissa, Jane, Beezy, Igfan...and to everyone else...if I forgot anyone its my preggo brain..Love you all and hope today brings calmness, happiness and most of all sobriety!!

hi all

curly, my three are blond also (as well as my husband and even the dog!) so I really look like an oddball in my family. oh well, it keeps people guessing.

ruby I'm happy for you that you're able to welcome your daughter feeling sober and happy.

Oh, what a sweet guy, Curly. Is mine going to grow up too?

I've been trying to get on here to post a hello all day. I have to run out in a bit to get the last gift. Then I'm done! I have a mommy meeting tonight. It's a group that meets once a month that I haven't been to before. I'm trying to meet some more moms w/ babes in the area for playdates, etc.

Jane, I was supposed to go to CSU, but switched to CU at the last minute for a guy. Yeah, like that worked out. I seem to have a long history of making profoundly idiotic decisions.

Hope you're all having a better than average day. Every sober day is better than the average hungover one I'm used to, that's for sure.

xoxo, 4

liss, I hope you wake up feeling better than last night. Did you have any success reaching some help?

My brother lived in Westminster so I'm connected to the Colorado web!

my secret santa gift still has not arrived here...so i'm pretty sure it won't make it by x-mas...i'm sooo sorry...the company i went through is obviously very busy from the holidays...i still haven't gotten my cards out, either!!! damn, this holiday shite is hectic...

liss...i hope you got my pm last night...hang in there, sweetie...i love you very much and things will get better, they always do...and if you need ANYTHING please let me know...

i've been so cranky the last two days, i didn't want to post on here just to b**ch....but i missed you all...i hope you have a wonderful holiday...

ruby...i'm so glad your daughter is home...has she decided if she is going to move back yet??? that would be so nice...enjoy every minute with her and cherish the memories...and the wonderful fact that you are sober and will remember every moment...love you...

beezy...you have to come here and teach me to bake...my family is so tired of the bricks i call cookies...i can't even bake the ones that are pre made...i don't think cookies are supposed to turn to dust in your mouth...

btw...i have a 4 year old boy, too!!! imagine the noise they would make if we got them all together!!!

i think i figured it out...we all got pregnant in 2001, after sept 11...i know i concieved aidan in the middle of that month...like the 13th...don't you remember how many women were pregnant that year??? tragidy made us feel more loving to our men, i suppose...i know aidan has been a blessing...i miscarried on august 9 of that year...and the fact that i got pregnant so soon after really helped me get past it...it was my second miscarriage...i had another when i was 18, and they are so hard...but so many women have been through it...sad....
