You missed me Ananda. That's OK. I'm not always around here much. People forget about me. Out of sight out of mind.

Hey idiots.Just saying hi. I'm going through a very weird phase-up one moment, down the next and I'm not enjoying it.I've felt so stressed and am not sleeping well.
Stoney-I'm glad you checked in.It's really upset me seeing you drink again.It's also part of my current dilemna-watching you, Mikey, Steamvessel and others here relapse lately-I start wondering how strong I am and maybe I won't be able to keep this up.It scares me.
Anyway, sorry for being so serious.It's where I am right now.
We think we drink alone and what we do doesn't affect others.But it does.
I'm not drinking today.

Frst, thanks for sharing the pics, they brought back some great memories of days spent on Nantucket and the Boston Harbor Islands. I really miss the beauty of New England sometimes.
We didn't get our house. They accepted another offer instead.
First time I've had that happen. Oh well, back to the old drawing board!

Just for today Jules. That's all you need to do 
.
Stoney too.
Of course all of you are STRONG enough to keep it up. I think when we start feeling like we may not be, is THE time to be reaching out, talking to people, going to a meeting if you do that sort of thing, doing something, being around people, posting here, not isolating... staying accountable. Anything except giving in to the alcohol. I know, easier said than done right?
I can honestly say... it is far easier the longer I've been without to stay without. I can't imagine the pain of drinking again. There was never anything good about it. Ever.

To find a woman you need time and money therefore:
Woman = Time x Money
According to sources "Time is money" thus:
Time = Money
Therefore woman equals time x money which is money x money so:
Woman = money squared
Now money is the root of all problems
Money = root of problems
therefore Woman equals the root of problems to the power of 2, with the root and the square cancelling each other out you get:
Woman = problems

We're not 18 anymore - we don't bounce back so well.
Sometimes we don't bounce back at all.
I think you have to start taking responsibility for yourself.

Yep, maybe I should be more grateful at 44 about the time I have left. But I can't ignore how much time I gave away.
Time with my family. It was more important for me to drink and do my own thing than to take my children to see their grandparents. Mom died when my daughter was a year old. I think she hung in there just to see her first grandchildren born. I'd give anything to get some of that time back.
Time with my brothers. We've moved on in life, I cherish the few moments we're able to spend together now.
Time with friends. I pushed most of them aside so I could isolate and drink.
Time spent working on relationships, rather than drinking over the issues.
10 years with my children pissed away. Time passes quickly watching a child grow.
Don't get me wrong, I'm ecstatic about recovery and my life is a gift, but I really wish I'd grown up a little sooner.

Hi also to scaredy (never out of mind hun!), RK and fizzy.
My time is short here...on the girls pc and I can't take it in their room. It's so messy
.
On my way to meet our home inspector. He needed to come back again since they had a crawl space up in the roof nailed shut and inaccessible. It's a good thing he's a friend of ours... he lives a few hours away.
Proper
to Jules and ananda too!
Gotta run!
* I miss my laptop.

Thought for the day ...........
There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040 there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.
