morning gianna, (7.30am sunday morning here)
keep walking girl, i as the others are all with you, all at our different stages but we are moving which is good.
i am normally allergic to walking and would prefer the lazy way of being in our bus haha, but if you want to walk we'll do that haha
hugs to you this morning and welcome to the other walkers

This is hard for me to post, but at least I'm being honest:
Okay, BAD day - not just the snow - but the booze.
Something has to give - I know I can do this, but boy I didn't do it today.
I guess tomorow is a new day, but I'm sick of "new" days.
Tomorrow - day #1 again - my goal is that tomorrow will be my LAST day #1.

With you Louise...keeping you in my prayers...know you can do this as if you didn't want to you wouldn't be here. You Can Do It Louise. No one said it would be easy...wish someone could make it easy for me, for all of us...wave a magic wand but no can do. Just keep coming back here.
Day One...go for it.
Love,

Hi Louise....keep at it, this wasn't meant to be easy, some of us get it faster then others, I know something has to really click, and guess it's just not our turn......look at how many are ahead of us, so we know there is hope here.
Yep Laci....ah a magic wand.
Love and hugs.........Denise (day1) oh for pete's sake, this is starting to sound like a broken record, day 1, day 1, day 1

Hi all,
Well, I patched everything up this weekend, then proceeded to get blotto Monday. Tomorrow had better be day 1 for real or all of my nice life is going to crumble real fast.
HELLLLLLP!!! Thanks everyone for caring, and I know many of you do.
Louise, I hope you are on 2 or 3. If not, let's try for one tomorrow?

(((((((GIANNA))))))))
Oh my dear (((((((((Gianna)))))))))). Wish I could help you, I wish so bad, I'm crawling out of that hole myself right now, I don't like it there anymore, (or ever for that matter) so grab my hand and get out of it with me.
Today is Day 3 for me Gianna, so please find that strength you have within yourself, you know it's there, you've just recently had it, dig a bit deeper to get it please Gianna.
What a helpless feeling this is you know, wanting to help so bad, but can't, makes me feel so sad, see that Gianna, now get your arse back where it was, you don't want to live like this, and you're here reaching out to us, so GRAB hold, please GRAB hold of us all, look at the one's that are marching on ahead, lets be them Gianna, this crazyness has to stop, it just has to stop. Why we have this awful need to self abuse ourselves is beyond me, what a way to die, I thought that over the other day, what a way to die, and that's what we are doing to ourselves, when life can be so good, without this horrible torment. So Gianna, start fighting harder, get that rotten, no good for nothing DEMON away from you, he's loving it you know, so show him just how much you HATE him, don't let him WIN, just don't.
I was letting myself go, just didn't care anymore, I thought what's the point, (that was my stinking Demon talking to me, wanting to win) but after two weeks of that was getting to be to much, it felt like being in quick sand, so I know where you are right now, so grab hold of all of us here, hang on tight, we will get you out.
We all care so much for you Gianna, love you dearly, so please, please, come back with us here.
My head is still a bit fuzzy, but that's ok, it beats being on that other side, so Gianna, shake it off and get back here ok, I know you have the strength, grab it girl, grab it.
Sending you lots of love and good vibes, for strength, hugs....Denise

Denise, and Kath and all,
Oh I pray to God that today lasts as one day. I WILL get to that noon meeting! And speak up. It has been so much easier to talk here.
Denise, just knowing you are in the same boat with me helps. I am sorry you are here, but it would be wonderful if we can hang in together. I so congratulate you on three days. It is very hard.
Love, Gianna

Onward we go Gianna, Day ONE girl, Day ONE.

Hey Gianna,
I just returned your PM.
Now you listen - if I could get through my absolute day from hell yesterday sober (but not pretty, right Chy!), you can get through today.
I had every excuse in the book yesterday - I'm really not sure why I DIDN'T drink - but I didn't.
You don't have to drink either!! Neither of us ever have to pick up another drink, right!! We have to keep telling ourselves that.
Love you!! Louise

Jane J, Red one, Neil, Cecy, SeeingClear, are you out there? Oh I would like this to be a group that keeps marching forward. Check in please.
I made Day 1, by the skin of my teeth, and it is a few hours into day 2. Still can't sleep though.
Louise, You are such a good pal here.
Kath, unbelievable support from all the way in Australia.
Ann of Aquitaine-where are you? First I have seen of France.
Chy, Laci, Stephanie, you continue to be amazing.
I got a real slap in the face e-mail yesterday from my best friend, who has been through hell himself with a sister who committed suicide and several alcoholics and drug addicts that let him down. I don't have it here or I might share it, it was so sobering as to the pain we cause others with this. I am so ashamed I added to his sadness.
Jayhay, where are you!! Please check in everyone. I miss you.
Thanks all,
Gianna
