i haven't used anything in like 2 months but i have had the flu and no energy to clean, i hate that feeling, i have laundry to do but nobody in the house seems to know where the laundry room is but me. i definately am way more organized now than i was 6 months ago my life was a train wreck in slow motion doing the bare minimum to get by but not anymore, i am enjoying myself now

My son LOVES Naked Brothers Band....and he sings that song (the jupiter song.....) except he sings it reversing the genders.
I am trying to teach him at a very young age not to be a butthead.....sometimes I look at my mother in law wondering what the heck she was thinking when raising my DH......
I emailed him at 3:00 letting him know I was DONE for the day.......and he is still not here to pick me up from work.....can anyone say "self consumed moron?"
okay..that was harsh....

Karla,
I know you are out there somewhere. I don't care whether you have been drinking. Come back to the board please hun.
Everyone - I am getting a new user name. This one isn't anonymous to my family. I think it may be too late already.
I'll have to think up a new signature.

Hey ya'll!
Firstly, Ayla, thanks for your post up a few hun. You said it all. It is amazing how I 'hid' my recovery from people. Like I hid my disease? Ha! Even people who didn't know I drank noticed a marked change (improvment ... but I am still in denile most days that it was that bad lol) in me.
Male bashing, huh? I can so jump on he train. I'm gonna have to find time to attend alanon too ... and here my own AA is time hard to get. (Oh, I put in 2 week notice at my weekend job ... so time should free up some) Dh has been hanging with the old guys now that he's back in the business. 2 times he's come home with a slight slur, lots of early showers, and going to sleep hard and with those behaviors I know so well. 3 times he's come home with that smell, and when I kiss him I can feel the 'heat' on his breath. You know ... the alcohol heat ... I'm not so far into recovery I don't notice that warmth. Maybe I'll always notice it? Any who ... he says it's not happening. I don't want to fixate on his drinking or not drinking. Mostly ... I am scared he'll drink him self out of work again, and then we'll be Fu@ked ... again. We *just* started to climb out of that hole.
I am not so worried about my own recovery ... I am firm that I want to live and enjoy life. But I don't know what to do if he goes down that path ... and lie to me about it ... not good. Not good at all. He'll drink away all our money at a bar. I hate these people he hangs with ... one just had to have his gall bladder removed in emergency surgery ... I bet his liver is toast too ... he's the worst one for my husband to be around. Damn him! I don't want to be thinking about this crap.
A$$hole.
Some news ... I got him at least picking up the house while I am at school. LOL Told him I'd stop doing his laundry. I have the house clean by 3pm and he has it clean by 10 (not spotless, mind you, just baby and toddler clean, basics so mom can functionthe next day) or else his laundry will pile in the garage and become a handy little nest for mice and gross buggies. Ha!

Welcome jackie! I am a mother of two (15 & 5) and an alcoholic 6 months sober (woohoo). This is the best group of women you will ever come across. Glad you're here.
Dev - i hope you hear back from the places you emailed....you can not do this on your own.
you girls are cracking me up with you man bashing......my daughter particularly liked Tam's saying....girls go to college to get more knowledge...never heard that before.
Ok - hi to everyone else...i'm not even going to try to name names
xoxo
cheryl
