She's so sweet! Champ isn't sure about her- she's feisty- keeps stealing things from him and trying to attack his tail. Champ barks at her and she barks right back...

****{penguin}}} hope you're out there. sending warm healing thoughts your way.
someone recently told me, "What people think about you is none of your business."
that was so helpful to me. you can't change their thoughts. you can't even truly know their thoughts. you can't control their thoughts or their actions.
you live in your head. make it a nice place.
you are worth it. you are willing and that is a BIG thing. you are trying, you are reaching out, you can do it!

and hello to all the new mommies--peterson, nohangovers4me, and anyone else. just coming here and reaching out is a big deal. you are growing in the right direction already. keep coming back. there are a lot of great women on this thread--and a wealth of experience, wisdom, and info out on the other threads.
i agree with nyc about "under/beyond the influence" reading about addiction helps you to know what you are up against. don't hate yourself. hate your drug of choice--it's what's keeping you from a better you.
glad you are here and hope to see/read more of you. (and that goes for all of the regulars here too! you know i love ya!)

hello guys just a few minutes to check in, I finished my first sober weekend and am 1 week today Thanks to all for your words of encouragment. H is being a total jerk so I cried all last night and most of today he is mad and refuses to tell me why no matter how much I beg I asked him if he saw how hard I was trying he just looks past me (won't even look at me while I bawl my head off) with a hatred in his eyes. My heart is breaking every time i'm in the house, after 13 years to come to this, and Now that I'm sober Irealize how much I love him and that I have lost my best and only friend. Sorry I feel like my heart is bleeding and I just needed to tell somone!!!!
On the bright side I am feeling great about not drinking and today the idea of not drinking doesn't terrify me. I would have actually had a gooed weekend without a drink but the problems at home have me down my 7 yr old asked this morning if we were getting a divorce.
Ayla hope the best on the house,

I only have a quick moment before I leave work to go pick up my daughter from pre school.
H4 - My Bf and I have had several problems over the years that ultimately come down to my drinking problem. The night I broke down and finally found SR, was the worst night yet.
I thought I lost him for good. Ultimately if your husband still loves you, I hope he will give you a chance. My bf did, but said he was on the fence and needed to see some changes.
Being sober, seeing a shrink, seeing the changes in me being sober have helped a lot. Maybe that's all he needs is time? I don't know your whole story, and it hasn't been 13 years for us, but.....
My mom gave my dad a second chance, even though she said it took years to trust him again, and they were married 34 years before he passed away. Will he go to counseling with you? Alanon is what helped us.
I wish you all the best cause I have been there with the bawling and thinking you just can't cry anymore cause there aren't any tears left and your face hurts.
But you also don't deserve to be dragged through the mud either. At some point thoughts of forgiveness need to be evident, or your spirit may die slowly.
Many hugs to you!!!!!!!!!
