Amother Hurdle ....

Taken care of, thanx to my ex. MIL

Got my paperwork for SS. So I can move forward w\ that.. 1 more step closer out of this pit of a town lol. Don't mean to bash where I came from, but every second I am here, I know I am a second closer to drowning in a bottle. I've had no desire to drink, but the desire to "escape" has been very strong

. But onward & upward ...

Thanx a bunch.. For some odd reason, I am waiting for "the other foot" to drop; so to say. Things have gone rather smoothly, a lil too smooth actually lol. But I will see. I miss Hamb so I have to get this done. LoL

I know the feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop.

It's not pleasant. Keep on doing the right thing and you'll be fine.

Thanx least; I not only will, but have to.. Right now it is a question of survival. As well as mental stability .. I realize now how twisted my life and thinking have been b\c of alcohol. Just being w\ my parents again has reminded me of this. Tryin' not to think too far ahead, but do have back up plans in the works as well. For when "the other foot drops." LoL

I totally relate to the idea of wanting to escape. I don't have a desire to drink anymore, but the desire to escape is always with me (and I have a feeling that if left to its own devices, it will lead to the desire to drink). But I'll hang in there if you will.

Hi August, I was so glad to see your name on this post. Hadn't heard from you for ages, and its great to hear that you're feeling positive. The last I heard was when your wife was putting you on a plane. Sounds like you're making good use of your time. Made my day!
