WELCOME HOPE and WELCOME BACK MTN!!
I had to take my computer into the hospital for an update today, so I had to delete ***** IM, but I will restore when I have time, can't miss out on a good IM session!!!
OK, I want the recipe, sounds way , way yummy!!!!mmmm
Feeling pretty good lately, just FAT, when I don't drink, my appetite goes way up, but it is starting to warm up here in lovely Ohio, so I will get my rump out there and jog, walk soon

For the new gals, I lost 50 pounds 6 years ago by running 5K's and lifting, lifestyle changes, etc. And trust me it wasn't easy. We are all on a bigest loser/winner deal right now if you are at all interested or need some advice on workouts, running, cardio, nutrition, etc. Just let me know.
I love chatting about that crap.

Thanks for the welcome back Pookie! I have kept my butt in front of the computer and this site all morning. It has really helped. Now I have to get ready to go to work. I know I can stay sober today. I'll look forward to reading about all of your day when I come home.

Thanks for the inspiration of all your words and stories- I really needed to hear all of you last night.

Mommies...
This is a link to a site where you can post a message to the families of the victims of the VA Tech shootings...I thought that it might be nice if we could take a minute or two to focus on something more tragic than our own problems and realize that we can beat this and have life...while other will never have that chance.....

Deal!
Ha ha. This reminds me of my four year old this morning. "Mom- I'll finish my cheerios and then you can give me some M & M's.....deal or no deal???"
No, really. Thank you for your support- I need it so much. I have a lot of anxiety that has been building ever since...well....I guess since I started drinking years ago. I think I've gone from a confident achiever type person to somebody who's a vicim of her own fear. It's that whole vicious cycle that has been mentioned many times before...drinking because I'm anxious and feeling anxious because I'm drinking.
I have a lot of trouble building friendships with the people around me because I'm not that comfortable with who I've become and have huge fear of being judged. I feel like I'm a really good soul trapped inside somebody I'm not that proud of right now. I'm really hoping that I can build some friendships here and get a little support- the support I'm afraid to ask for from the people around me.
Anyway, hope it's a great day for all of you. Send me some positive vibes and "NO VINO FOR YOU TONIGHT!!" type thoughts this evening. I'll be checking in!!

kimmie--something funny about the grocery store---keep in mind conner is 3---so we were walking down an aisle---and i said "hey i need some sugar"(sugar is southern for kisses) and he said not here in the grocery store mom----you can kiss me when we get home----already he is not wanting mommies public affection----truly a sad moment for me---i am sure there are more of those days to come---oh well i knew it would be coming sooner or later just thought it would be later--
the cake is relatively easy bake a devils food cake in a 13x9 pan
let cool--cut up into chunks---
you will need hot fudge sunday topping a 16 oz. jar and a bag of heath bar bits---and cool whip choc or reg--and then start layering like a parfait --cake chunks hot fudge heath bar and cool whip----repeat

we were all anxious when we got sober..hect I am still anxious now.....drinking made it worse...coming down from that drunk was the worse anxiety I ever knew

trust is hard to give when you can not trust yourself...how can you allow others to like you when you do not like you? Well girlie...we like you
